CORONERS' INQUESTS.

SIOCLING ACClDENT.—Yesterday an Inquest was held
before. Mr. Stirling, at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body
of Richard Oates, a young man, in the employ of Mr. Case,
paintef and glazier, Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square, who
met his death in the following manner :
It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday, the
23d ult., the deceased was engaged on a scaffold, erected
in front of Lord Cardigan's residence, painting the parlour
windows, when, a ladder being in his way, he attempted to
remove it ; in doing which he missed his footing and fell
with great violence into the area. He was immediately
picked up in a- senseless state, and conveyed to this Hos-
pita; where, on examination, it was discovered that his
bead was fractured and bis right leg broken above the knee
joimt. Every assistance was afforded him, but he continued
to get worse until Friday last, when he expired. Verdict—
" Accidental Death."

LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.—Last night an inquisition was
holden before Mr. Payne and a respectable Jury in the
Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, to inquire
totiching the deadline Mr. John Wood, aged 55, Captain
of the trading vessel Lady Myddleton, who poisoned him-
selkvith laudanum.
Mrs. Maria Jones, landlady of the Griffin Tavern,
Threadneedle-street, deposed that the deceased on Satur-
day morning; about eight o'clock, entered the parlour and
had some rum and milk. He also was provided with pen,
ink, and paper. In half an hour's time witness found him
Aleep in the parlour. She awoke him, when he asked
111 Fa bed. Witness told him that they had none, and
t him. About eleven, finding him in the same state,
sae informed her husband. She did not know the deceased.
Mr. Jones stated that he at first supposed the deceased
was in liquor, and attempted to rouse him. At this time
'Rawlings, the street beadle, entered, who, being of opinion
shat he had taken something of a poisonous nature, searched
him, and, found in his pockt a phial, which had contained
„laudanum. Mr. Miles, a surgeon of the neighbourhood,
was instantly sent for, when his pupil promptly attended
and gave him an emetic. He was immediately taken to
this hospital.
Mr. Thisselton, house surgeon, stated that lie died on
Saturday afternoon.
Rawlings produced the phial he found on the deceased,
the letter he wrote in the parlour, and several invoices.
The letter was directed to Mrs. Wood, 45, Clifton-street.
Mr. John Brown, 45, Clifton-street, proved the letter to
have been in the deceased's writing, and that it was written
to his wife, whom he lived with happily. If he drank a little
it would overcome him, and in that state he had threatened
his life. The effect of drink would derange his mind.
Dtiring the last few days he had appeared vexed, but wit-
ness did not know the cause. He had been married thirty
years. The vessel did net latterly pay him well. On
Saturday morning lie appeared wild. - t
The Coroner read the letter, which was very uncon-
nected, but he referred in it to having left his wife alai
1,000/.

witness stated that while he was leading the doeni
about on Saturday morning in the hospital he.: observe
what a d—d fool he was to do it.' _

Verdict—" Temporary Insanity;'
