FATAL ACCIDENT FROM "A LARK."—Yesterday
an inquest was held at the Duke of Wellington, Tenter-
ground, Spitalfields, before Mr. Baker, respecting the death
of James Thomas Cousens, a fine lad, aged eight years, who
was killed under the following circumstances :—From the
evidence it appeared, that last riday afternoon the deceased
left his parents' residence, No. 7, Flower-and-Dean-street,
to go to school, and on his way he proceeded to call one of
his schoolfellows, named James Riches, twelve years of age,
who lived in the parlour of the same house. He knocked
at the door, and, after waiting some time, and receiving
no answer, he looked through the key-hole of the
door, so as to see if any body was in the room, when at the
same moment Riches, from the inside, passed a long iron
skewer through the hole, penetrating with great force the
deceased's right eye. He was immediately conveyed to the
London Hospital, but left at his own request for his own
home. On the succeeding day he became delirious, owing
to the acute pain, and in which state he expired on the same
afternoon. Mr. Smith, surgeon, deposed that he attended
the deceased shortly before his death, and found the eye to
have been entirely destroyed. The injury had occasioned
effusion on the brain, and which had caused death. The
father of the boy Riches observed that his child and the de-
ceased were on the most affectionate terms, and he was sure
that the melancholy event was the result of pure accident.
After some discussion, a verdict of " Accidental death " was
recorded, he Coroner cautioning the boy Riches as to his
future conduct.
