EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A L UNA-
TIC IN AN MUFTI HOUSE.

Yesterday an investigation took place in the
board-room of the Strand Union, Bow-street, before
Mr. Bedford, on the body of a man named William
Death, aged 40, whose body was discovered in a
complete state of nudity, under the following cir-
cumstances :

Mr. Newell, landlord of the Ship Tavern,
Hanover-court, Long-acre, said he had known the
deceased for about six months as a customer, but
had, from his very eccentric manner, considered
him deranged.
Francis Boston, No. 6, Hart-street, Covent-
garden, said deceased came on the Thursday night,
about ten o'clock, and he shaved him ' • but on
account of the lateness of the hour he refused the
request of deceased to dress his hair. The deceased
left his shop, muttering to himself that " Now he
had £l,OOO he should open a public-house ; but he
must first have a candle to see to dress himself."
William Adkinson, beadle at the Piazza, Covent-
garden,. then stated that he had for some time
known the deceased, but had latterly considered
him of very weak intellect. On Friday night he
(witness) dreamed that deceased had committed sui-
cide by hanging himselfin the house in White Hart-
street. On the following day (Saturday) he became
so uneasy that he determined to visit deceased, for
the dream made a deep impression on him. He first,
however, went to Mr. Robins's room, and told the
porter there, who consented to accompany him.
On entering the house No. 3, White Hart-
street, they called to deceased, but on receiving
no answer proceeded to the front room on the first
floor, and on entering were horrified to see the de-
ceased lying on his face in a corner of the room in
a perfect state of nudity, and quite dead. Medical
assistance was obtained without delay.
The evidence of Mr. Paynter, surgeon, showed
that after a careful and minute post mortem exami-
nation he came to the conclusion that deceased had
died from apoplexy. On lookinc, at deceased he
found that his face was quite disfigured or flattened
from lying on it. He considered deceased must
have been dead about two days.
It further appeared that the deceased had £6O
deposited in a savings bank, which, from remarks
he had made, he intended to keep, so that he should
be entitled to vote if the new Reform Bill became
law.

The Coroner, in summing up, remarked that the
case was one of the most extraordinary ever brought
under his notice, but had most satisfactorily in all
particulars been made quite clear.
The Jury, after a short interval, returned a ver-
dict in accordance with the medical testimony.
The inquiry then terminated.

The Bishop of London was elected a Governor of
the Charter-house, in the room of the late Earl of Ripon,
on Tuesday last. Another vacancy has occurred among
the Governors of that foundation by the demise of the Earl
ODOM.
