THE LATE ACCIDENT IN LITTLE

RUSSELL -PLACE.

Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Mr.' Bedford;
tile coroner, opened an inquiry in the board-room
of di'ng's College Hospital into, the cause of the
death 'of Maurice. Fitzgibbon, aged 47, a brick-
layer's lal-A)urer, who was killed, owing to the falling
of certain buildings in Little Rusadi-place, Bow'.
street,• on the morning of Good Friday, on which
occasion several other persons were injured.
Mr. W. H. Aus;in, of St. Martin's-lane, attended
io watch the case on the part of the widow of the'
deceased.

The jury having IKen sworn, and viewed the
body, and evidence of the identity of the deceased
having been given,
John Manley, of May's-buildings, S. Martin's-
lane, plasterer, depbsed that he lodged with the
deceased ; was at work with him at the time of the
accident in Russell-place. The deceased was at the
time clearing the bricks of a parti-wall about two
feet' high, between the house pulled down in Russell-
plaCe and a house in Bow-stri-e'. Madden, now
in the hospital, was picking the bricks down from
the wall at the time. Witness and another man,
and She9n, the labourer, at the time of the acci-
dent, were engaged in cementing over a wall on
the right-hand side, about 50 feet from where the
deceased was -at work. Witness had occasion to
leave fur a .hoe: time, when he heard a noise like
the report of a cannon, accompanied with a quan-
tity of dust, but did not see the wall fall. The
wall that fell was one that he had been at work at.
He was not absent morn than two minutes. Had
been engaged in cementing the wall for about five
or six days. ....Was employed by Mr. Howes, a
builder, who acted under Mr. Parker, the surveyor
to the Doke of Bedford.. During the time he was
at work he believed the: wall to have been a sound
tone. On the other side of the wall there was a
ro ,f, some 'stabling, and buildings. After the wall
fell he assisted in removing the deceased from the
rubbish. He wst covered by about 4 feet of brick-
work and rubbish. He. Was quite dead, and was
removed by the: p01ice..... .
By a Jnicor---It was-tan old wall. The cement
put on the wall was thin, to put, a fair appearance
upon ,it.. The wall was- froni' 28. to 30 feet
high,; it. might be 14 inches Wide at the bot-
tom, and nine at the top. There • bad been a ,
girder in the wall which had been taken out, which
was filled up
.with briaks, cenienti and sand. Be
considered. that a tie_,__wluch was put in, would
make the wall as strong as before.
By the Coroner, at the,request of Mr. Austin....
When-the wall fell the bricks, appeared to be very
bad, but he never heard any complaint. The wall
fell between 10 and 11 o'clock.

Mr. Way, house-surgeon, proved that the de-
ceased was dead when brought to the hospital, but
he could not state the immediate cause of death
without a post mortem examination.
Mr. Charles Parker, of 75, Great Russell street,
Bloomsbury, surveyor to the Duke of Bedford, de-
posed to the nature and the position of the pre-
mises. There were eight houses ordered to be
pulled down. Seven belonged to the Duke of Bed-
ford, and the other belonged to Mr. Jennings.
The five houses pulled down belonged to the
Duke of Bedford. He gave the care of the
pulling down to Mr. Howes, previous to 1852.
When they came into his possession they had been
inhabited by prostitutes, and, with a view of get-
ting rid of the nuisance, several hundreds of
pounds were laid out in repairing them, making
water-closets, and other conveniences, so as to
thin a better class of inhabitants ; but in the early
part of 1856 it was found that they were again
inhabited by prostitutes of the lowest description
—in fact it appeared as if the place was formed for
such inhabitants ; steps were taken to get rid of
them ; and possession being obtained both entrances
were blocked up at Lady-day, 1856, with the in-
tention of pulling the houses down, and Mr. Howes
was instructed to
sdo so, but there appeared no
hurry to pull them down. He visited the premises
on Monday last, but he did not observe that the
wall that had fallen was dangerous. He had since
met with an accident by falling through an arch,
but was unable to give any reason at present as to
the cause of the accident. No inspection or sur-
vey had yet been made with a view to ascertain
the origin of the accident, but most cercaiuly it
would take place.
After some further evidence, the jury being de-
sirous to inspect the premises, the inquiry was ad-
journed, and a post mortar?, examination was'
ordered.

THE BISHOPRIO OF Nonwies.—An intimation has
been received in Norwich that the Hon. and Rev. J.

T. Pelham will succeed the Rev. Dr. Hinds in the
bishopric of the diocese. The uncertainty which has
hitherto prevailed on the subject is 'how considered at
an end. Mr. Kitson, of Norwich,. still continue to act
as secretary.
BURGLARY. IN. THE CITY.---rYpsterday inforn)atiork was
received that on Sunday night some burglars had effected
an entry into the premises of Mr. Louis Silberberg, im-
porter of foreign cigars, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and pos-
sessed themselves of upwards of 250-bundles of cigars, of
the value of 3001., and got clear off with their booty.
COLOGNE CHORAL UNION.—We are glad to perceive
by an advertisement in our columns that the musical
world of London will again be gratified and enchanted
by the exquisite vocal performancis of the unequalled
Cologne Singers, who will re-visit the country under
the auspices of Mr. Mitchell, in the month of May next.
Our readers cannot have forgotten the excitement pro-
duced by them in the year 1853 and 1854, at the Hano-
ver-square Rooms. Their concerts will, on the forth-
coming occasion, be given in the same locality.

GREENWICH-PARK.--For the first time for many year
past Easter Monday passed off without a fair at Green
wich. The orders which were recently issued upon the
subject were imperative, and nothing in the shape of a
booth or show was to be seen. On Good Friday largo
numbers of people went to Greenwich for the purpose
of having a stroll in the park, but the fun of One Tree
Hill failed to tempt any considerable quantity of people
yesterday, especially as it rained a good deal in the
ramming and the weather was very cold.

FINSBURY ELECTION.-DINNER TO SERGEANT PARRY.

—Some 200 of that portion of the electors of Finsbury
who supported Mr. Sergeant Parry in the late election
assembled yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, as the
hosts at a dinner given by them to their favourite but
unsuccessful candidate. Mr. Tyler, by whom Sergeant
Parry had been proposed at. the hustings, presided, who,
in proposing the health of the honoured guest of the
evening, said he regarded him as virtually the elected
member for Finsbury. (Hear, hear.) The sentiment
was heartily responded to. When the cheering bad in
some degree subsided, Mr. Sergeant Parry returned
thanks and said, that in the recent struggle in which he
had been engaged in Finsbury —a struggle the most
severe in which he had ever been engaged during-a long
life of struggles—the greatest consolation he had was
that he had not lost a single friend, but bad gained thou.
sands. (Cheers) No doubt be was the defeated can-
didate ; but though defeated, he might say in the lan-
guage of Edmund Burke, "I know lain not dishonoured,
and I feel lam not disheartened." Having alluded
the late election the learned gentleman said he should
have great pleasure in again corning forward to contest
the borough. on the first opportunity. Neglect of regis.
tration he said was the cause of his defeat.
THE MIDDLE TEMPLE.—To-morrow, the first day of
Easter Term, the halls of the four inns of court will be

again opened for dining, and it is expected that a very
strong muster of the members of the above society will
take place in their magnificent and ancient hall, in
consequence of the proposed destruction of the Temple
fountain and garden by' the benchers of the Middle
Temple. This act of Vandalism has been strenuausly
resisted by the barristers and students, and a strong me-
morial, most numeroeely signed, has been presented tch
the bench against it. In short, it is not too much to say
that the act hss met with the entire condemnation of the
memberseof the Inner and Middle Temples, the bencherl
of the latter excepted. It should be borne in mind that,.
the bar of the Middle Temple now numbers 1,300 meta.
hers, and it remains to be seen•whether an irresponsible
body of 33 self-elected men are so far to control the
society of which they are the head as to carry into effect
a plan so utterly distasteful and repugnant to the feet.
hip and wishes of the majority. The public, as well ac
the Society of the Middle Temple, have an interest in
preserving this beautiful spot, admired and reverence,'
by our ancestors, and immortalised by the writings of
Goldsmith.

Bfruotmtearwloerttther,
addressed
of Fleet-street " We have about 80 barristers and
260 attorneys. Perhaps 50 of the forpaer and 200 of the
latter get business—this ma y enable you to judge
of our law market. Some of the attorneys make
very large inn mes—from 7,000/. to 14,000/. per
annum. There may be ball-a-dozen who are thus pros-
perous. The bulk of them, perhaps, realise front
8001. to 1,800/,, and some few scarcely earn a
subsiAtnee. Among the barristers there are three,
perhaps four, who make 5,000/. per annum, about a dozen
who make from 2,009/ to 3,000/ , and the rest who got
anything vary from 1,000/. to 2,000/. Many, however,
get little or nothing, and several have lately aban-
doned the profession as a hopeless case. You may rely
on this as a substantially accurate report of our pro-
fessional position, if any of your friends make inquiry
of you on the subject. The large majority both of
barristers and attorneys are Irish, but the leading men
in either branch are English. We have none of the
first class, either as lawyers or advocates, but there
are many who would cut a respectab!e figure in West-
minster-hall, though there is certainly no excess of fo-
rensic decorum. Labourers, mechanics, and servants
obtain very high wages here, but a guinea a-day is scarcely
equal to two guineas a-week in England, such is the
extravagant price of lodging and most of the necessaries
of life. The average earnings of a gold-digger do not
amount to 100/. per annum, for which he works about
10 hours a-day, and very hazardous work it is. Lacd
that is accessible is scarcely to few purchased at
any price. Your house in Fleet-stre ould commarerl
a rent probably of 1,000/. per annum in Melbourne. I
have known walnuts sold at 11d. each, and only to day
I saw a tea-spoonful of cucumber-seeds sold for ls. Beer
often not drinkable, is about is. a pint. The binding of
a law book, large octavo, is 12s. per volume. These
little things are never mentioned in the newspapers lest
