INQUEST ON THE BODIES.
At twelve o'clock a respectable Jury of shop-
keepers of Old and New Windsor assembled at the
Town Hall, to inquire into the circumstances attend-
ing the deaths of the individuals already named. .
Charlotte Pidley, on Wednesday evening, was
returning from Egham Races in a boat to come to
Windsor Bridge. There were nineteen persons al.
together in the boat. They came to Datchet Bridge
about nine o'clock, and there they had something to
drink. At a quarter past nine they embarked from
Datchet Bridge to proceed up the river. They were
then going by the shore side, when Joe. Cannon,
one of the boatmen, desired his son, who was steer-
ing, to cross the river; he was doing so, and shortly
after she heard a concussion at the bottom of the
boat, she thought as if it was about to sink; she
cried out that it was so; but the boatmen said
" All's right." Soon after the boat filled all at once
with water, and got fixed upon the stakes; when it
was full of water the stern sunk under, and four
women, four boys, and a girl, who were seated
there, were all washed out of the boat by the
stream ; that part of the boat went down at the time,
some of them were floating in the water, and others
were striving to get ashore; there were feur left be-
hind in the head of the boat with herself, they were
rescued by a boat, which came to. their assistance,
after they had helped those who fell into the water,
as well as they could. She paid a shilling fare in
the boat. It was a light sand boat ; Joseph Can-
non, the boatman, was, she thinks, sober at the

time; he was at the public-house at Datchet Bridge;
his son, who steered, was also sober; he is only 13
years of age; when they came out of the last pub•
lic-house the boy said he was afraid that he could
not see to steer so late ; some one answered that he
could very well; Braids and Cannon were the two
boatmen ; the steerer could not see over the people's
heads in the boat, but if he had been an elderly per-
sonage, that is, a man, he could see perhaps so as
to avoid the accident.

In answer to the Jurors, she stated that there
was a post over the water at the place where the
stakes or butts commenced, and another at the end,
which a grown person might see from the steerage.
The Jury retired, and after a short consultation,
returned with a verdict of " Accidental Death,"
coupled with a recommendation to the Commis-
sioners for Navigating the River Thames to remove
the stakes.

SUMMER ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT-LANCASTER, AUG. 27.

James Baldwin, a respectable-looking man, aged
50, was placed at the bar, on the charge of having
wilfully and maliciously, with a certain knife, stuck,
stabbed, and cut James Kenyon, with intent to
murder him, at Spotland.
The prosecutor was at the house of an acquaint-
ance, at Spotland, on the day in question. About
twelve at night, however, some reason induced him
to go out of the house into a field, situated near at
hand. He there found the prisoner lying, apparently
drunk, on his back. He spoke to him for the pur-
pose of rousing him. Immediately the prisoner
started up, anti told the prosecutor he had a knife in
his hand, and if he spoke to him, he would kill him
with it. The prosecutor, however, spoke to him
' again, and the prisoner instantly wounded him
severely in the calf of the leg; he then made the
best of his way to the house, out of which he had
just come, and shut the door. In a few minutes
he was followed by the prisoner, exclaiming that he
would cut the throat of the man he had just wounded. '
The Jury having consulted a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict of " Guilty."
Mr. Justice BAYLEY then remarked, in very
strong terms, on the highly improper manner in
which the prisoner had conducted himself. He un-
derstood, however, that it was only while under the
influence of liquor that his conduct was so violent.
Although the law rendered him liable to be put to
death, he should only direct death to be recorded
against him. Further inquiries would be made with
respect to his general habits of life, and their results
would guide him in the representations proper to be
made to his Majesty.
