MEDICAL WITNESSES AT CORONERS' INQUESTS.--
Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest yesterday on the body of
Mr. Edward Mottram, engraver, Little Britain, Aldersgate-
street, at that gentleman's country residence, Muswell-hill,
Highgate. The deceased, who was seventy years of age, got
up as usual on Wednesday morning, and was preparing to
leave his country seat for London, when he was seized with
an apoplectic fit, which terminated fatally, notwithstanding
the immediate attendance of medical aid. Evidence of the
above having been given, Mr. Wakley inquired if the jury
desired the medical gentleman who attended deceased to be
examined, observing, at the same time, that it would only
entail unnecessary expense on the parish. The jury having
expressed their desire that the medical gentleman should be
examined, Mr. Wheterall, surgeon, Highgate, was called in,
who stated, without having made a post mortem examination,
that in his opinion deceased died of apoplexy. Mr. Wakley
(addressing Mr. Wheterall) asked him if he had added any
testimony to what they had already received ? Mr. Whet-
erall admitted that he had not. Mr. Wakley was satisfied
that Mr. Wheterall would; give that answer, " for what,"
continued. Mr. Wakley, "further information could he give
when he had not opened the body ? He was most anxious
that in every case that came before him a post mortem exa-
mination should be made ; but when that was not deemed
necessary he had no idea of making the parish pay for a
medical witness, as he was resolved not to fool away the pub-
lic money." . Mr. Wakley concluded his observations with
an encomium upon Mr. Wheterall's treatment of deceased.
Mr. Wheterall assured him that he had merely attended from
a desire to prove that everything that was possible was done
fur deceased. Verdict—" Apoplexy."
Last week, there was sent to London, from Doe
Park, near Wooiton, a rye straw, measuring nino feet.
'rho rye in the field from which it was taken is higher
than has ever been seen in this country, the lowest straw
being at least six feet.
EXTRAORDINARY Low TIDES.--Yesterday after-
noon, shortly after two o'clock, . the . tide was exceedingly
low, owing to the high winds which have prevailed during
these last few days. The steam-boats were unable to land
passengers at Blackfriars-pier for some time. At Waterloo-
bridge the water was not thirty feet across, and could easily
be leaded through.
