FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR THE BANK. Yesterday
evening an inquest was held by Mr. Payne, at St. Thomas's
hospital, on view of the body of Mr. F. Field, aged €4, for
many years a cashier iu the Bank of England. It appeared
from the evidence of Mr. Hector Cochrane, ofNewhall-
street, that the deceased was crossing 1 rinces-street, to go
from the Poultry to the Bank, when a Hoxton omnibus came
down from Lothbury towards the Manslon-house, and de-
ceased stopped to let them pass. A waggon and a cart were
going from London-bridge to Lothbury at the same mo-
ment, the cart being a yard or two behind the waggon. As
soon as the waggon and omnibus had passed the deceased
he made a rush to cross the road, and whorl he got between
the waggon and cart he seemed to be quite paralysed, and
the shafts of the off side of the cart knocked him down.
The driver immediately pulled up, but the wheel of the cart
was on the body of the deceased, and some persons extri-
cated him and took him to a surgeon's, and thence to the
hospital. Some other witnesses were examined, whose tes-
timony corroborated this statement, and all agreed that no
fault could be found with the driver,- and the house-surgeon
stated that decased died of extravas' ation of blood on the
brain, which would have been caused by a fall. A relative
of the deceased stated that lie had been very nervous for
some time, which would account for his seeming paralysed
when he found himself between the two vehicles, and the
jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
DEATH FROM POISONING.—Art inquest was held
Yesterday evening before Mr. Payne, at St. Thomas's hos-
pital,
on view of the body of Lucy Seiver, aged 45, who died
from the effects of poison. It appeared from the evidence
thatthe deceased bad lately drunk very much, and taken
I money from her husband, as well as pawned their furniture
I to purchase spirits. This had often caused words between
them, and on Monday evening last, in consequence of her
conduct, he threatened to send his daughter away, as he
would not have her remain in the house to be ruined. The
next day his wife went to a neighbour's house, and said she
was come there to die, and her conduct was altogether so
strange that her neighbour suspected she had taken poison,
and all the
but she denied having done so, when she became very
drowsy, and in her pocket was found a large bottle, which
smelt very strongly of laudanum. A srgeon was mime-
diately sent for (tills was about ten o'clock),
usual remedies tried, but without effect, as she died al, four.
• The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity.''
