AND COLD.

Saturday an inquest was held at the workhouse, Isieworth.belme
Mr. Bemuse the coroner, touching the death of a female unknown,
apparently between 30 and 40 years of age, which took place under
the following truly deplorable circumstances:—Mr. William
Clayton, master of the workhouse, deposed, that the unfor-
tunate woman, the subject of the inquiry, was brought
to the workhouse by two men on Friday afternoon, about two
o'clock; she was in a dreadful state of exhaustion, and
incapable of speech ; she bad neither shoes nor stockings
on, and the rentaine of her wretched clothing scarcely covered her
nakedness, her limbs up as bet knees being completely exposed.
The tersons who brought bet said that the unhappy creature was
lying at the side of the rued, near Sinallberry-green, and it was by
the desire of Mr. Chandler, the surveyor of the roads, that they
had brought her to the wnrkbouse. On her arrival she was imme-
diately put into was m blankets, and restoratives given her; but
continuing insensible, and apparently dying, Mr. Syer, a surgeon,
was sent for, but before his arrival the ill-fated being expired !
Her wretched apparel was searched, but nothing whatever WAS
found ; she was in • stale of great emaziadoo, and appeared to
have perished from the accumulated horrors of starvation and cold!
The jury returned a verdict to that effect.

Mary-at-Hill, on the body of a fisherman. at present unknown,
who was drowned off Billingsgate on Friday morning.—Charles

lingsgate, and he heard' a splashing in the water. Witness heard a
cry of "Ob Christ !Ob Chrlit r Witnesifild 'sees deceased cross-
ing the plank from the dock to the Dumb Lighter. Before assist.
ante could be procured the deceased bad sink, and some time
elapsed before the drags couldbe used. When the men with the drags
came, they used them foe upwards at as bout before the body
could be found. Thomas Jaeob.a fellow poster, corroborated this
evidence, and added that be saw the deceased sink, and, alter a
few minutes, rise again with great violence, is doing which he
struck his head against one of the piles, and Instantly sank to rise
