FATAL FALL FROM A HOUSE.—INQUEST.---YeS-
terday afternoon, Mr. Brent, deputy coroner, held an in-
quiry at the Middlesex Hospital as to the death of Alfred
Sheldereck, aged 27. Deceaw4:l, who was by trade a cooper,
had since Christmas last been unsettled in mind, and occa-
sionally addicted to habits of intemperance. On Sunday after-
noon last'he went to his parents, No. 5, Upper Rathbone-
place, and, entering n room where his mother was sitting
alone, hastily shutting the door, exclaimed, " Some men are
after me." He soon after fell asleep, and so remained till a
little after six o'clock, when, suddenly rising up and taking
off his coat, he put his arms round his mother's neck, say-
ing, "Dear mother, father, brothers, and sisters, save me 1"
The mother, much alarmed, replied, "Tell me your troubles,
my dear—l:ll save you ;" but, making no answer, he ran
into the next room' -and taking up a table knife, with that
in his hand rushed down stairs followed by his mother and
father, who at that moment arrived. Going into the next
house, the street door of which was open, he proceeded up
stairs to the staircase window, out of which he was about
to get, but was prevented by his parents, from whom,
having disengaged himself, he went to the top of the
house, and got through the trap door on to the roof. In a
minute after he seated himself on the parapet of a house a
door or two off, with his legs on the street side, and on his
mother, who was in the street screaming to him to draw
back, he go.t up and walked along the parapet of more than
a dozen houses, when he disappeared. Onry a few moments
elapsed, when he again appeared on the top of No. 5 house,
whence he must have returned by passing over the back
part of the others. Having gone as far as No. 2, he at-
tempted to climb the chimneys, and suddenly fell a depth
of 24 feet on to the roof of No. 1, a house only one storey
high. He was extricated and conveyed to the hospital,
where he died on Monday. A verdict was-returned " that
deceased died from the effects of a fall from a house while
in an unsound state of mind."
FALKIRK TRYST.--Wednesday, Sept. 15.—The
show to-day came fully up, to the numbers anticipated from
the close of yesterday's Proceedings. About nine o'clock
a good quantity of stuff was shown of various kinds.
There were few buyers to-day, more particularly from
the west country, in consequence of a fair at Balloch,
in Dumbartonshire. There were more two-year-old West
Highland stets than were expected on the ground to-
day, which brought equally good prices as yesterday,
also the stills of this kind of stock. The north
country cattle were somewhat short in point of num-
bers, but the really good heifers and stots were at no
less a figure than yesterday. A few of the inferior kinds
would be 5 per cent. below yesterday's prices as re-
ported. There were a few Irish cattle, which met with little
encouragement to-day ; and the sales made amongst this
kind would be about 21 per cent. below the price of yester-
day. The heavier cattle, although few in number, were
readily picked up, and unless a few inferior beasts, suffered
no reduction from yesterday. At the close of the market,
those unsold were driven off for the southern jobbing
markets. The old cows from the islands, and from Argyle-
shire, were large in number ; but they got very little en-
couragement, with one or two exceptions for the better
class, which brought even a shade higher than yesterday ;
but the second class was about 5 per cent. below yester-
day, and the inferior kinds were unsaleable. At the close
of the market a number were left %mold.
