CORONERS' INQUESTS.
THE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE AT A MASWERADS!
—Last evening Mr. Payne, the City coroner, and a mns/
respectable jury, assembled in the pupils' Lecture-room
of St. Thomas's Hospital, to investigate the cause of
death of Mr. William Henry Slade, aged 23, the unfor-
tunate gentleman who lost his life in consequence of
injuries received at a masquerade, at the Montpelier
Tavern, Walworth, on the night of Monday last.
Mr. Woollen, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, in whose
establishment deceased was, attended to watch the pi'e'
ceedings on the part of his friends.
Rebecca Gatland was first sworn. She said she re-
sided at 24, Trafalgar-street, Walworth, and knew de-
ceased, whom she met on Monday night, or rather On
Tuesday morning, about one o'clock, walking in al!
grounds of the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth. Akin"'
ten minutes after she saw him he left her, and she then
saw him ascending the stairs which lead to the bah'
room. Those stairs were outside the building-, erected
.
in the ground, and were composed of wood. There IT
eof;
a man named Passmore at the top, thrusting p
down by the shoulders as fast as they came up. W,
ness was thrust down by him, and as he was doing
God'
man heard a crashing noise, and exclaimed, " My Ou`"
man ! the bannisters are breaking." She got down one
fast as she could, and then saw Mr. Slade with one fn"
on the top landing, and the other on the top stair'
In an instant after she saw two or three of the bah's'
trades of the gallery fall from the top landing, an ird,
mediately some more, and then the body of deceased fell
Ellen Gatlin, of Cottage-place, East-street, Walworw'
stated that she was standing by the side of deceased oil
the lauding of the staircase at the time of the ocnuiri:
rence. There was a great rush of persons into the ball"
room, but the only one admitted was a tall man in
ou
masquerade costume, and the man in custodyWSS PUS"•
ing the people down stairs. When the man in costume
went in, the man in custody went in also. 36a Mina°
after some man put his hand through the door, which
was half open, and shoved the people back. The landing
was full when this took place, and the pressure of the
people caused the railing to give way, and then deceas
and another gentleman fell to the ground. She afar,
wards saw the man in custody on the ground, and heard
a man charge him with being the cause of the 00,..ktir.
rence, to which he made no answer. She did not think
the deceased was sober at the time. In her opinion the
bannister was broken by the pressure of the people
against it, when the man from the door pushed them.
Mr. William Mundy, of No. 53, Bow-lane, Cheapsine'
printer, deposed that he acted as eheek-taker at tho
Montpelier Tavern on Monday night last. At the time
of the occurrence there were about eight persons on ale
landing struggling to get in. That was as many as the„
landing would hold. The door was pushed open '4'
those outside, and then violently closed. The bannister)
as well as the rails were gone about ten minutes before
the occurrence. There were several persons inside wilt°
the door was forced back, and the pressure caused VI
deceased, and the other gentleman, Mr. King, to fo''
over.

The CORONER, at considerable length, summed 12P'
and, after some deliberation, the jury returned a yerc cY
cf Accidental Death, expressing regret that there hel
nothing moving to the cause of death, they could 0
s
return a deodand.

The inquiry lasted upwards of three hours.
SUICIDE FROM POlSON.—Yesterday afternoon, 31r;
Baker, the Coroner, held a most lengthened inquiry at
the Green Gate, Hackney-road, touching the desal,!
Mrs. Louisa Winterborn, aged 40, the wife of Mr. Du;
Winterborn, surgeon in the above road, who died fr°"'
the effect of poison, under the following circumstances<
Mary Ann Irons stated that she had been servant4'
the deceased for the last year and a half, who appes'i,.
to live very happily with her husband. Her mind O
the last six months had been rather desponding. as 1311.
‘,
thought, through losing her mother. On Moods/
morning the deceased got up about half-past sece.llit
and on witness coming down stairs she found her lac
in the yard. Deceased kept retching very much (111:
ing the morning, refused to have any dinner, and '—
the course of the afternoon laid down on two pill,
in the sitting-room. Deceased still continued vete!
ing, and about eight o'clock in the evening ki-;
Winterborn informed her that he feared his sql -
had taken poison, and requested her to take a note .f'd°.
Mr. West, a neighbouring surgeon, calling in his ill.
The errand-boy was also forwarded to a Mr. Hale, sli'
geon, in Paul-street, Finsbury, requesting his imraedillta'
services. Mr. Hale arrived first, shortly before r 0
deed
o'clock. Mr. West came after ten. The deceased ch
at four o'clock on the following morning.
Mr. Hale, surgeon, of Paul-street, Finsbury, was tour „
sworn, and stated that he visited the deceased at au?"
half-past nine o'clock on Monday evening, after bail
requested to do so by Mr. Winterborn, who inform
him that she had taken poison, and that he had *dal;
nistered to her some lime-water as an antidote. Witness
asked him how he knew she had taken poison, and o
LA
remarked that she had confessed to him that she 'l3
taken arsenic. Witness then inquired of her how mild
she had taken, and she replied about as much as
cover a sixpence. He then asked her where she gc%.
from, and she answered from an old dirty bottle in
surgery. He then showed her a bottle which contained
small particles of the poison in question, and which
said was the one she got it from.
By the CORONER—He was certain that she had stated
that she had taken it.
The CORONER, after some unimportant diseasstilj
commented upon the melancholy facts of the casejiiet
the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a
" That the deceased had destroyed herself by pnisou.mo
whilst in an unsound state of mind."
