r. A DVZRTISEMENT.]
THE CAO ITT
The termination of this affair, as announced in the
report of the proceedings before Sir Peter Laurie, at
Guildhall, on Thursday last, must have been highly
satisfactory to the worthy Alderman, and affords a
striking and gratifying proof of the gentle but irresisti-
ble power of public opinion, operating through the
medium of the Press, in redressing wrongs for which
the law has not provided a remedy. An important
" moral lesson " has also been read in this case to the
members of the legal profession which they will not
easily forget, and for which, if we may judge from
the imprecations, " not loud, but deep," which have
reached us, we expect they will not easily forgive Sir
Peter. The best advice that can be offered to them
under the circumstances, is that contained in the
words of Divine truth, addressed to an unhappy cul-
prit taken in flagrante delicto, " Go—and sin no
more ;" and to Sir Peter Laurie the public will doubt-
less say, " Persevere in despite of clamour, misrepre-
sentation, and even obloquy, and obtain the best, and
probably the only reward, you seek—the sympathy
and unbought approbation of your fellow-citizens."
"Ne cede malls, sed contra audentior ito."

- CORONERS' INQUESTS.
SUDDEN DEATH.--Yesterday evening an inquest
was taken before Mr. lliggs, at the Fleece, Tothill-
street, Westminster, on the body of Harriet Molcher,
a fine girl, aged fifteen.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased,
who lived with her parents at 69, Tothill-street, was
a very healthy girl. She on Thursday morning last
complained of great thirst, and requested her mother
to make her same toast and water, which she had no
sooner taken than she fell down as if in a fit. Her
father ran for medical assistance, and Mr. Heath,
surgeon, in the neighbourhood, ordered him to hurry
home again and apply warm cloths to the stomach,
and he (Mr. Beath) would follow instantly. • Before
the father returned, the girl had died, and Mr. Heath
called in about an hour and a half afterwards, but
could assign no cause for death.
The Foreman of the Jury said that Westminster
surgeons had acquired an unenviable notoriety for.
gross carelessness in cases like the present; and
another Juror said a short time agog a neighbour of
his was suddenly taken dange'rously ill, and he ran
out for a surgeon : he went to three or four, who, re-
fused to attend, as the patient was a very poor man,
and their fee was uncertain ; he afterwards went to
Mr. Wright, surgeon to St. Margaret's workhouse,
and he refused to attend without an order from the
Board of Guardians
Verdict—Died by the Visitation of God.
Mr. Baker held an inquest yesterday forenoon at
the Shopkeepers' Head, Jubilee .place, Stepney, on the
body of Elizabeth Batch, aged sixty-five.
rederick Batch stated that the deceased was his
mother, and he (witness) was obliged frequently to
be from home till late at night ; on those occasions his
mother sat up for him. Wednesday night he did not
quit work till very late, and going home knocked at
the door, which was opened by his sister, who had
got out of bed for that purpose. He asked where his
mother was; and, ascertaining that she was not in
bed, he got a light, and after. examining about the
premises, found her lying at the bottom of a flight of
steps which led to the garden. A surgeon was called
in, who, on examining her neck, said it was broken.
Verdict—Found Dead.

NEW WORK RI( THE AUTHOR OF " PAUL PRY."—
The laughter-loving public are again indebted to Mr.
Poole for an infinite store of amusement, by the publi-

" Phineas Quiddy." It is not at all un-
likely that this new work will outstrip in popularity
even " Little Pedlington" itself. In it Mr. Poole has
presented us with a set of characters, at once so
mirth-provoking and so strikingly original, as it would
be in vain to look for elsewhere in the wide range of
modern fiction. Phineas Quiddy, the shrewd, grasp..

terms it, wins his way to the summit of his ambition,
