TUE LATE FATAL ASSAULT BY BOYS

IN THE CITY.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by
Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, at the Coleman-
street Ward-rooms, London-wall, to inquire into
the death of John Silverside, a silversmith, lately
residing at No. 4, Brown's-buildings, Finsbury,
and who, it was alleged, had met his death from a
stone throWn by one of four boys now in custody.
It appeared that the deceased, who was em-
ployed at the Albion Hall lecture rooms, Finsbury,
was trying to get rid of the boys, who were creat-
ing a disturbance outside the hall in question on
Monday night, when an altercation ensued, during
which several blows were struck and a stone
thrown by the boys, which struck deceased, upon
which he immediately fell, and never rallied, out
died in a few minutes.

The facts were fully described in our Guildhall
police report yesterday.
Mr. Simpson, surgeon, stated that he was called
to see deceased. He found him in a fainting state.
He made a post mortem examination of the body,
and his opinion was that death wa3 caused by un-
due excitement acting upon him. He found the
heart entirely empty ; there was not the slightest
trace of any rupture of any vessel, and he could
not find the marks of any external violence upon
the body. He should think that if a blow had been
struck very hard upon the deceased it might have
caused rupture of some of the blood vessels, but
there was no rupture at all, and no appearance of
violence to account for death.
The Coroner having summed up the evidence at
great length, and with much clearness, pointed out
to thp jury the evidence of Mr. Simpson as to the
cause of death, and dwelling upon the facts of no
external violence having been discovered, and no
piece of brick or stone having been found by which
it was alleged the deceased had been struck, re-
quested the public to retire.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict that—" The deceased died from the effects
of excitement caused by an assault committed on
him by several boys, now in custody."
