THE LATE FIRE IN OXFORD STREET

INQUEST ON ANOTHER SUFFERER.
Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the
Middlesex Hospital, before Mr. Stirling and a re-
spectable Jury, on the body of Charles Richard
Napoleon Fearngo, about eleven years ofiage, who
died from the injuries he received at the late fire in
Oxford-street.
Henry Caddell, servant to Mr. Applegarth, 36,
Oxford-street, gave precisely the same evidence at
the inquest on Miss Eliza Twamley, which has al-
ready appeared in our paper. The only evidence
respecting the deceased was as follows.—He ob-
served the young lady who was burnt at the second
floor window with the deceased boy in her arms.
The deceased clung to the window outside for about
a minute, when his strength appeared to be exhaus-
ted, and he was obliged to leave go his hold. The
boy turned over and over, and his head came in con-
tact with the shop front; he then rebounded on the
persons in the street. The deceased was taken up
and conveyed into a public-house, and the witness
saw no more of him.
Mr. Lonsdale, house surgeon to the hospital, ex-
amined; deceased was brought to the hospital
about half-past six o'clock on Monday, 28th ult.;
and on examination, discovered that he was burnt
very much in his face, legs, and hands. The de-
ceased had also a wound over the left eye, which
proved to be a fracture. On Tuesday morning he
died from the effects of the fracture and the burns.
A long conversation then ensued as to the neces-
sity of having the evidence of witnesses who could
give some account as to the actual cause of the fire,
and it was ultimately agreed to adjourn the inquest
until Monday next.
Smithers was yestered considered much better;
his wife is a daily visitor, but her interviews are
very short, and those only in the presence of an
officer, who has strict injunctions not to allow the
slightest conversation relating to past events. The
plasters are so thick on the face of Smithers as to-
tally to disable him from seeing any person. Only
a small space around his mouth remains uncovered;
his tongue appears much swollen, and he speaks
thick and indistinct. He constantly lies on his
back. Those who are in the habit of visiting him
declare that they never saw a man apparently in so
troubled and agitated a state of mind.
Miss Caroline Twamley, sister to the unfortunate
young lady who lost her life at the fire, remains in a
deplorable state. She is almost delirious. In addi-
tion to her shoulder being broken, she received a
violent shock in her descent on the leads, in the rear
of the burning premises, with her mother in her
arms. Her ultimate recovery is, however, not hope-
less. Miss Thomasin, niece to the Misses Twamley,
fortunately had no bones broken in her descent from
the second-floor window, but she received several
severe contusions, and was so much burned in the
face and neck, that she will be disfigured for life.
She is recovering rapidly, and is now enabled to
walk about the house. The servant-girl is still
obliged to carry her arm in a sling, and the shock
was so great in falling from the window of the second
floor, as totally to incapacitate her from work.
