RUNNING MATCH IN HYDE PARK.-This morning
a foot-race came off in Hyde park ; the competitors were
Coles, of St. James's, and Milwood, of Bayswater. The
contesting distance was half a mile, arid the stakes 5/. a side.
In betting Millwood was the favourite at 5 to 4, and money
to some tune was laid out. The usual preliminaries were
arranged, and after twelve false starts the men got off, Coles
at a good lead, which he maintained for 200 yards, when his
opponent came up, and a splendid race ensued, which
terminated in favour of Coles, who ran in a winner by eight
yards, completing the half-mile of ground in two minutes
and thirty-two seconds. Many spectators were present.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A SOLICITOR WHILST ALTERING
His WILL—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the
Ship and Dolphin, New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, on view of the
body of Mr. Joseph Sweet, a solicitor, aged 70 years. Mrs.
Ruth Sweet, of No. 18, New Gravel-lane, widow of deceased,
deposed that deceased, during his long life, had enjoyed a re-
markably good state of health, until within the last few
weeks. lie was then taken poorly, but nothing of any con-
sequence ailed him. Deceased had a great aversion to medical
men, and would consult no one. On Wednesday afternoon,
about four o'clock, he told witness that, as one of the legatees
whom he had named in his will had died, he should make an
alteration in it, and bequeath the legacy to witness,which h•
had intended for the other. The necessary papers were
brought to him, and deceased himself wrote the alterations t•
his will, to carry into effect his intentions. He signed it,
and the document was regularly attested by three witnessep,
with the usual formality. As soon as he: had completed it,
witness observed a sudden change to take place in his fee".
tures. Fearing he was taken worse, she again wished Mm I•
have medical advice, but he replied "No." He laid down cai
a sofa in the room, breathed faintly twice, and expired in a
moment. The Coroner remarked upon the singularity of the
occurrence, and the jury returned a verdict of " Natures
death,"
