CORONER'S INQUEST THIS EVENING.
Dr. Lankester, the Coroner, commenced his in-
vestigation into the circumstances connected with
this terrible accident in the Board-rooin of the
Marylebone Workhouse this evening at 5 o'clock.
The jury having been sworn, the Coroner called

The two latter being those of the unfortunate
persons conveyed to St. Mary's hospital. There
have been up to the present hour 34 bodies reco-
vered, viz., 10 last evening and 24 to-day, but the
above are those only who have been identified, and
who are included in the coroner's inquiry.
The Coroner said he proposed on that occasion
merely to open the inquiry, in order that the friends
of the deceased might remove the bodies and bury
them. he should require the attendance of the
jury on Monday, to which day he should adjourn
the inquest, after the identification.

It was suggested by one of the jurors that Satur-
day would be the better day, as there might be
a great many more bodies brought in before that
day.

The Coroner thought under all the circumstances
Monday would be the best day, and the inquiry
would of necessity last a considerable time.

Another juror urged that Saturday might be
fixed, because, unfortunately, the number of bodies
recovered to-day held out no well-grounded hope
that the same number or more would not be re-
covered to-morrow.

The Coroner hoped it would be so, and thought
it would be for the ultimate convenience of every
person that the inquiry should be resumed on Mon-
day.

The jury then proceeded to the dead-houso
to view the bodies, and a more melancholy
spectacle cannot be conceived. The grief of the
scene was heightened by the number of sorrowing
relatives who now attended as witnesses to identify
the bodies.

On the return of the Coroner and the jury to the
board-room a number of witnesses were called who
spoke to the identification of the bodies, after
which the inquiry was adjourned.
