DEATH FROM EATING PLUM-PUDDING.— Yesterday
Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle,
Camden-town, on Frederick Harding, late an inmate of
St. Pancras workhouse, aged about 60. On Saturday
the deceased was devouring a large
quantity of cold
plum-pudding, and after he had eaten some pounds of
the pudding and was in the act of swallowing another
large piece, he fell suddenly forward in an insensible
state to the ground. Mr. William Coster, the senior
medical officer, was sent for ; but before he came the
man expired. Mr. Coster, upon making a post mortem
examination, observed some three or four pounds of
plum-pudding in the deceased's stomach, as also a quan-
tity in his respiratory organs • and, from the condition
of the brain, it would seem that the wretched man had
been seized with a sudden fit of apoplexy. On the day
before (Christmas-day) the inmates of the workhouse
were well regaled with good fare, in the shape of roast
beef and plum-pudding, and the deceased must have
managed to have received more than his own share. The
jury returned a verdict of 64 A.ceidendal death by suffo-
cation.",
