On Monday last an inquisition was taken.,
by the city coroner of Oxford, on -view of the
body of Thomas Dawson Lucas, jun,, aged 35,
who, it appeared by the evidence of a surgeon, was
seized with a fit of apoplexy in the Townhalt,
and expired in a few minutes after he was brought

down stairs. The deceased was of a slender frame
and weak constitution, and from his eagerness to
witless the proceedings on the address, had climb-
ed tipon' the iron railing in front of the hall, and
jumping down, it is conjectured burst 'a blood
vessel, which occasioned his death. There were
no external bruises or marks of violence on his
body, nor was there any pressure against him
when he fell, which he did on his knees, with his
arms extended, and never spoke afterwards.—
Verdict accordingly.
