CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at the Turf
Tap, in Tattersall's Yard, Upper Grosvenor-place, before
THOMAS HIGGS, Esq., Coroner,* on the body of Charles
Connor, Esq., comedian, one of the performers belonging
to Covent-garden Theatre.
Silas Sharpe resides at Old Brompton ; did not know
the deceased : he was in the middle of the road in Hyde-
park on Saturday night, about twenty yards from the de-
ceased. Witness saw him drop down, and instantly went
to his assistance, but before he got to the spot he gave a.
groan. Witness felt his pulse, but all pulsation had
ceased. No person had struck the deceased, or forced
him down ; it occurred about 25 minutes befote nine
o'clock in the evening.
Mr. Henry Russell, house surgeon of St. George's Hos-
pital, said, that about nine o'clock the deceased gentleman
was brought in ; he examined him immediately, and found
he was quite dead. On examination he had no doubt it
was 'occasioned by the bursting of an aneurism of a vessel
leading to the heart.
The Jury returned a verdict, " Died by the visitation
of God. The deceased was 37 years of age, and has left
a Wife and two children.
A professional gentleman attended, and put several
questions for the purpose of showing that the deceased
was sober at the time, and that he was a man of most re-
gular habits.
On Monday evening an Inquisition was taken at the
Light Horseman, in Orange-court, near Leicester-square,
on the body of Ann Coxall, a fine young woman, aged only
.23 years, who was found drowned in the -Green-park on
Monday morning.
Mrs. Sophia Levi resides at N 0.4, Manor-grove, King's-
road, Chelsea; deceased had been in her service about
three months ; she had some followers, one of whom wit-
ness believed she had slighted, and he enlisted for a sol-
dier • he used to come to the house, but as she never al-
lowed strangers, she gave the deceased warning. On Still,
day night witness paid the deceased two gniineas wages,
and also gave her eighteen-pence to hire a coach. The
deceased left witness's house about eight o'clock, wished
her good night, seemed quite cheerful, spoke rational, and
was always a good-tempered girl. Her fellow-servant had
informed witness that she had been crying during the day.
After the deceased had gone away a letter was found to

the following effect :

Another from the deceased ran thus--

told you only come to make a fool of me. Your friend and well-
wisher until death, ANN COXALL.
