THE LOSS OF FOUR LIVES 47 THE

_ISLE OF DOGS.

Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, Mr. W. Raffles
Walthew, the DepuCy•Coroner for East Middlesex,
and a highly respectable jury, assembled at the
Newcastle Tavern, Isle of Dogs, Poplar, touching
the respective deaths of William Gilliam, aged 42
years; John Gilham, aged 3,5; Thomas Gilham,
aged 17 ; and Charles Nye, aged 14, who lost their
lives by the falling of a floor at the extensive pre-
mises of Messrs. Nicholay, Graham, and Armstrong,
proprietors of the Cumberland oil mills, Isle of
Dogs, opposite Greenwich Hospital.
Witnesses as to identity were first examined.
Thomas Johns, of Crucifix-place, Cubitt's Town,
was next called, and said that he was sitting at the
foot of the stairs on the day in question, when the
floor of the building fell. He heard a loud crushing
noise. He ran up stairs; and when he came back
he had to make a hasty retreat, but at that time the
place was filled with dust.
Charles Dowdey, No. 42, Charles-street, Poplar,
said that he was a pressman in the same employ.
He saw the floor give way, and heard a double
crash. The floor struck the iron girders, and the
whole fell in with the seed, which almost covered
him. He, with difficulty, squeezed himself out of
the seed, which was then up to his waist.
By the Deputy Coroner—l cannot say how many
tons of seeds were in the warehouse. I have seen
the warehouse full of seed up to the ceiling, but I
believe there had been a great deal more in• the
place formerly.
James Smith, No, 19, Church street, Cubitt's
Town, a pressman, employed upon the building on
Tuesday last, said he was sitting upon his lock-up
box, eatinc, his breakfast in the mill, hen he got
up to look at the clock, and turning round, he saw
the two Gilhams (Thomas and John) trying to es-
cape. Witness then rushed from the place and
escaped, as the part of the floor over him did not
fall. He helped to get the bodies out. He believed
that the deceased were getting their breakfasts.

surgeon was sent for, who pronounced the deceased
persons to be quite dead. 1 cannot account fc.r the
accident, and 1 do not know what quantity of seed
there was in the warehouse.
The cause of death was shown to be suffocation,
from the fall of the linseed, with the ponderous
weight of which the floor had given way.
The deputy-coroner said they would not take
any more evidence that day ; but he would suggest
that an adjournment should take place in order that
an architect and a surveyor of acknowledged com-
petence, unconnected with the proprietors of the
mills, might visit the premises and attend to give
evidence at their next meeting.
The inquest adjourned at 1 o'clock till 11 on
Wednesday, the 20th inst.

TIIE MURDER IN I.IIE SURREY CANAL.

Last evening Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West
Kent, concluded an adjourned inquiry, at the
Trinity Arms, Church-street, Deptford, into the
circumstances attending the death by drowning in
the Surrey Canal of Margaret Edmonds, aged 25,
a domestic servant. Several witnesses were ex-
amined. Their evidence went entirely to corrobo-
rate the statement made by the young man named
George lukpen, and given in evidence at the
examination -of the prisoner at the Greenwich
Police Court on Tuesday lust—viz., that he and the
deceased agreed to drown themselves, that they
tied themselves together for that purpose, with a
leather lace and a piece of tape, that after being in
the water together for some time the tape broke,
and the woman was drowned, while the man
saved himself by swimming ashore after en-
deavouring to rescue the deceased. The pri-
soner, by direction of the Secretary of State, was
brought up in custody from Maidstone gaol, but by
the advice of an attorney who appeared for him
he declined making any further statement. The
Coroner summed up at great length upon the facts
of the case, remarking that the conduct and state-
ments of the prisoner to the witnesses were consis-
tent with the story told on being taken into cus-
tody. If the jury, however, believed his statement
to ba trna, than by tho taw of Eneland he was
guilty of a very grave offence—that of murder—
for the law had been laid down by the late Lord
Chief Justice Jarvis as follows :—" Self-murder is
wisely and religiously considered by the English
law as the most heinous description of felonious
homicide; for, as no man has power to destroy
himself but by commission of God—the author of
it—the suicide is guilty of a double offence—one
spiritual, in evading the prerogative of the Al-
mighty and rushing into his presence uncalled for,
and the other temporal, agiiihst the King (Queen),
who has an interest in the'preservation of his (her)
subjects. This offence therefore is ranked by the
'law'among the highest crimes, making it a peculiar
species of felony—a felony committed on onesself.
A fel° de se is one who deliberately puts an end to
his own existence, or commits any unlawful act, the
consequence of which is his own death ; and if two
persons agree to' die together, and one at the per-
suasion of the other buys the poison, which both
take, and he who bought it survives and the other
dies, it is the better opinion that he who dies shall
be adjudged felo de se, because all that happened
was originally owing to his own wicked purpose,
which the other only put in his power to execute
in that particular manner. This offence admits of
accessories before the fact the same as other felo-
nies, for if one persuade another to kill himself and
he do so, the adviser is guilty of the murder; so if
the party persuading another to destroy himself be
present when the felony is committed, he who dies
is felo de se, and he who aids and abets is a princi-
pal to the murder." The learned coroner observed
that the law was thus plainly laid down, and if
the jury were of opinion that the deceased had
wilfully destroyed herself, and that the prisoner
was present and aiding and abetting, then they
both came within the statute, and the deceased
would have to be buried without the rites of a
Christian burial, between the hours of 9 and 12 at
night; The jury then retired, and, after a long
consultation, returned a verdict "That the deceased
Margaret Edmonds did feloniously, wilfully, and
maliciously, and of malice aforethought, murder
herself; and that George Inkpen, at the time of the
felony and murder aforesaid, was feloniously pre-
sent, aiding, abetting, and inciting the deceased to
commit murder." The coroner then issued his
warrant for the burial of the deceased between the
hours named; and, as the law requires such warrant
to be executed in 24 hours after delivery, the
funeral took place last night.

Solferino, and Diadem.
Eheu jumped off with a clear lead, waited 'upon by Pan-
tomime, Ingestre, and Diadem, the others lying off. In
this way they proceeded at a good pace, the lot taking their
hurdles in clever style to the distance, where Diadem crept
up on the upper side, and waited upon the leaders to the
centre of the stand. Here W. White made his effort, and
won cleverly by a length; three lengths separating the
second and third; Cumberland was fourth, close up ; Pan-
tDmime and Solferino beaten off,

The winner was sold to Mr. B. Land for 62 guineas.

Betting-6 to 4 agst My Mary, 4to 1 agst Egyptian, and
8 to 1 agst Tommy Jones.
Some time was lost through the breaking away of the
over-anxious, but at length they were got away, but upon
very indifferent terms, Silkstone, Veteran, 'and Tommy
Jones getting off very badly. My Mary, Melody, and Egyp-
tian got away in front, and ran in close company to the
turn, where Egyptian came to the front, and, after some
slight rousing, took a clear lead, which he held to the dis-
tance, where he was once more headed by Mary, but only
for a few strides, when he resumed his lead, which he re-
tained to the end, and won cleverly by a neck; a bad third;
Melody was fourth, Charles Fox fifth, Fazio sixth, and
Hoodwink next, the others beaten off a long way.

A Handicap of 5 soar each, with 30 added, for all ages.

Winners 71b extra. Half a mile. 21 subs.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Miss Emma, 7to 1 each agst Vu!
ture and Leontes, 8 to 1 each agst Confidence, Miss Julia,
and Harriett.

Confidence, in company with Miss Julia, Lady Peel, Lord
of the Manor, and Miss Emma, came on with the running
—the former lying in the centre having a clear lead, which
he held until within the distance, when he was headed
by Lord of the Manor, Miss Emma, and Lady Peel,
who came on nearly abreast the stand enclosure, where
Lord of the Manor drew in advance, was never afterwards
fairly caught, and won very cleverly by a neck ; a bad third ;
Confidence was fourth. The immediate followers passed
so close together that we were unable to name the order in
which they came in.

The Great Autumn Cup, value 200 soya, added to a handi-
cap sweepstakes of 25 soya each, 10 ft ; the second received
50 sous out of the stakes; winners extra; 14 miles ; 100

Millionaire, Soothsayer, and Remunerator.
Sir William was struck out at 1 15 p.m. this day.

Betting-9 to 2 agst Millionaire, 6 to 1 each agst Lady
Ripon and Russley, 8 to 1 each agst Petra and Gabrielle
d'Estrees, 9 to 1 agst Remunerator, 12 to 1 agst Avalanche,
100 to 1 agst Wildman, and 20 to 1 agst Joey Jones.
Immediately on Mr. Marshall getting the horses on fair
terms the flag was dropped, and they left the post nearly in
line. Joey Jones jumped away with the lead, but had not
gone half a dozen strides before Prince of Denmark, on the
upper side, was driven to the front, and came on with a
clear lead of upwards of 20 lengths, Joey Jones going on
second next the rails on the lower side, followed by Russ-
ley, Millionaire, Soothsayer, Bernice, and IA ildman, close
together ; the others, headed by Lady Ripon, Sawcutter,
and Gabrielle d'Estrees, lying up. In this way they
passed the stand, and rounded the top turn, but shortly
after entering the far side Prince of Denmark, evidently
having performed all that was required of him, shut up,
and speedily became the absolute last, leaving Joey Jones
once more in possession of the lead, waited upon by Mil-
lionaire, Petra, and Russley, the others lying in a cluster
at his heels. In this order they ran to the canal bridge
turn, where Joey Jones gave way to Millionaire, who came
on with the running to the T.Y.C. post, where Joey Jones
again showed in advance, having Russley, Petra, Lady
Ripon, Gabrielle:d'Estrees, and Itemunerator in close at-
tendance. Thus they proceeded into the entrance into the
straight, where Joey Jones gave evidence of defeat, but ran
in idaeulties to within. the distance, where he shot his bolt

and immediately gave way to Russley, Petra, and Lady'
Ripon, between which three the contest now lay. A sem-
blance of a race ensued, Petra, with lots to spare, waiting
patiently till opposite the stand, when Midgley dropped his
hands, and the Liverpool Cup of 1861 became the property
of Mr. Lincoln, the mare winning with the greatest ease by
a length. Rus ley was beaten three lengths for second;
there was a length between the third and fourth; Remune-
rator and Joey Jones were fifth and sixth, close up ; then
came Soothsayer, Bernice, Avalanche, Millionaire, and
Sawcutter, Confidante bringing up the rear. Denmark
walked in after the leading horses had weighed.

Sweepstakes of 5 each ; winners extra; gentlemen riders;

jockeys, 51b extra; the second saved his stake. One mile.

COUNIRY MARKETS.

►•

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 15.

There was a small attendance of millers and dealers at
this morning's market. We had only a retail business
doing in wheat, fine qualities bringing the currencies of
last week. Flour scarce, and no cheaper. Oats and oat-
meal difficult to quit, and must be quoted rather cheaper.
Beans barley, and peas are each 6d per qr lower than last
week's rates. Indian corn held firmly, and barely so Well
sold as of late.
