- The distance was from Putney-bridge to Mortlake
church (four miles, or a trifle under.)
They were started by Mr. Searle, and were at next
piers to each other, the Cambridge having won the
chance, but there was but a slight difference or advan-
tage. They took the start at the same moment, but the
Oxonians were quicker than the Cantabs in this respect,
and dashed off within the first half dozen strokes en
advance of about a quarter of a cutter's length, but they
were unable to hold it, although they did not lose the
" pride of place" without a desperate struggle. Both
laid down to the work from the moment after starting,
but they had not gone further than the Duke's Head
(about two hundred yards) when the Cantabs, by dint of
superior power and pluck, were abreast of them, and in
a moment afterwards passed them. From this moment
until the time of coming in there was no chance. The
Oxonians, it is true, endeavoured by all that pluck could
do to mend their condition, but it was met by a eor.
responding effort on the part of the others. The Cantabs
went through Hammersmith-bridge about two lengths
and a half- a head, maintained their position in the most
gallant style, and won by two lengths.

CORONER'S INQUEST. —On Friday forenoon, and
investigation opened on Tuesday last, was resumed before
Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a jury of thirteen householders
of St. George's, Bloomsbury, at the Boar's Head Tavern,
Tavistock-street, Bedford-square, concerning the death of
Mr. Henry Cordwell, aged 29, formerly a solicitor of Li-
verpool, and residing at No. 18, Tavistock street. After a
long and minute investigation into the regimen which
the deceased had followed, under the direction, as it ap-
peared, of Dr. Curi6, living on nothing but water for
several days ; and after hearing the evidence of medi-
cal men, one of whom had opened the body, the jury
found the following special verdict :—" We find that
Henry Cordwell died from exhaustion, caused by loss of
blood from his intestinal canal, produced by natural
disease. And in complying with what the jury believe
to be their bounden duty in returning this verdict in
accordance with the sworn evidence of the medical gen-
tlemen who have been called as witnesses, the jury cannot
refrain from expressing the strongest feelings of indigna-
tion and disgust at hearing it proved by the testimony of
the nurses and other persons, that the afflicted gentleman
had been cruelly exposed to a system of starvation while in
a state of the most extreme debility during at least ten days
previous to his death, he having during that length of time
been allowed nothing but plain cold water under the ex-
press direction of his medical attendant." Mr. Wakley, in
receiving this verdict, said emphatically—" If I had bean
this
verdict of the jury, I have no hesitation in saying thatlsh
should
most cordially have subscribed to every word which
verdict contains." Dr. Curie's solicitor said he understood
that there were sonic medical practitioners on the jury, which
was unfair. Mr Wakley inquired if such was the case, and
it turned out thaiwthere was one gentleman who Was a che-
mist only. The proceeding's then terminated.
