During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Engler..
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—making

mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally. suffered, from the epidemic of last
year.

the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,930/..165. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. Ild.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. lls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in' financial and in all assurance matters,
who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parlsis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurantes, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A GENTLE-
MAN UNKNOWN.

On Thursday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest
in the University College Hospital on the body of a
young gentleman unknown, who was found dead in a
cab under suspicious circumstances.

• Edmund Sheares, a cabman, deposed that at one
o'clock on Tuesday morning the landlord of the Prince
of Wales public-house, Elizabeth, street, Eaton-square,
came out to him in the street, and asked him to enter
the house and have something to drink. Witness ac-
cordingly did, after which he returned to his cab, fol-
lowed by the landlord and deceased, who said, " Can
you drive me safely to 14, Tavistock-square ?"
Witness replied in the affirmative, and deceased
entered the cab, but when he alighted at the number
mentioned be found deceased lying at the bottom of
the cab quite insensible, his head resting on the front
seat. Witness knocked loudly at the ball door, but
getting no answer called a policeman. The proprietor
of the house made his appearance, but could not re-
cognise deceased; whereupon, with the assistance of
the constable, witness raised deceased on the seat and
drove him to the police station and thence to the
hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital deceased was
quite dead, but warm.
By the CORONER—Witness, while driving deceased,
heard no noise in the cab, nor did be hear any break-
ing of glass as if a bottle was thrown out.
Abraham Mackey, the police-constable, said that
he found on deceased's person 1/. Gs. 10d., five keys,
a silver lancet case, marked " G. S." " Howe's Latin
Book," a paper inscribed " G. Hollis," and a return
excursion-ticket from Hungerford to Paddington on
the Lord Mayor's show day. Deceased was dressed
in black, and his linen was marked " S. S." Witness
made inquiries at the Prince of Wales, the landlord
of which told him that deceased was there on the
morning in question with two prostitutes; that he
had a little soda water and sherry ; and that he (the
landlord) closely watched the women lest they might
drug his drink, or give him anything.
The CORONER informed the jury that the house-
surgeon was at that moment performing an operation,
and could not attend. But that Mr. Glover, who
made a post mortem examination, informed him that
he found in deceased stomach prussic acid.—(Sensa-
tion.) The Coroner, in continuation, said that as the
Case was surrounded with suspicion of foul play, he
would adjourn the inquiry to Friday week; to enable
the police to institute further inquiries respecting de-
ceased and his death.
