IMPROPER ADMINISTRATION OF LAUDANUM FOR
THE HOODING COUGII.-00 Tuesday Mr. Baker held an in-
quest at the Bedford Arms, Wapping-wall, on the body o
George William Mitchell, nine weeks old, who was alleged
to have died in consequence of having laudanum adminis-
tered to him for the hooping cough. It appeared from the
evidence of the mother, who lives in Peacock's-buildings,
Middle Shadwell, that she had three children, one four years
old, another two years, and the deceased, who were seized
with the hooping cough. She was recommended to go to a
person of the name of Lockwood, who lived in Fieldgate-
silrect, Whitechapel. She obtained a half-ounce phial, which
contained a mixture, from a female, who told her to give the
deceased a drop the first night, two on the second, three on
the third, and four on the fourth night. (The phial was pro-
duced, arid labelled " Lockwood and Green, chemists and
druggists, front the late Mr. Jordan, Golden Key, No. 10,
Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel. The pooping cough.") The
deceased, on the first night upon swallowing a drop was com•
posed to sleep, and on the other nights he was awakened with
difficulty. After admi3istering the four drops, which were
taken by the deceased last Thursday week, he was completely
overpowered, and sank into si. sleep from which he never en-
tirely recovered, and died on the Sunday following. Mr. D.
Ross, surgeon, Shadwell, stated that he received a certificate
from the deceased's mother, which was signed " P. Lock-
wood," as follows :—" This is to certify that George William
Mitchell died with inflammation and hooping cough, and had
medicine from me, P. Lockwood, 10, Fieldgate-street, White-
chapel." He inquired what the deceased had received, when
the mother showed him a phial, the contents of which con-
sisted of a great portion of laudanum. He then refused to
register the death until an inquiry had taken place. The
Coroner, in summing up the evidence, cautioned Mr. Lock-
wood, who was present, not to sell such a medicine, as a
person administering it without knowing its effects rendered
himself liable to a charge of manslaughter. Verdict, " That
the deceased died a natural death, which might have been
accelerated by the incautious administration of a medicine
given for the cure of the hooping cough."
DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL SIR SALUSBURY DA-
VENPORT, KNT.—This gallant officer died on Monday last at
his residence in Cheltenham. Sir Salusbury was the son of
the Rev. E. Humphreys, rector of Clongunford, in Shrop-
shire, by the eldest daughter, and co-heiress of the Rev. Dr.
Salusbury Pryce. He was born in 1778, and married, first,
in 1805, the dauglites and heiress of John Tivel Movin, Esq.,
of Weedon Lodge, Buckinghamshire; secondly, in 1810, the
daughter and heiress of William Davenport, Esq., of Bramah-
hall, whose name he assumed in 1839, on inheriting the fa-
mily estates. The gallant officer entered the navy in 1790,
and served at the siege of St. Lucia, and at the attack on
Porto Rico in 1797. Sir Salusbury also took part in the ex-
pedition to the Helder, and was at the surrender of "the
Dutch fleet in the Texel, and at the attack on four French
frigates in Dunkirk roads in 1800. The deceased officer at-
tained the rank of Admiral of the White in 1841. Sir Salus-
bury died very-wealthy, possessing large estates both in Buck-
inghamshire and Cheshire; of the former of which counties
he was a deputy -lieutenant.
TIIE DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL.—On the subscrip-
tions to the above closing the Central Committee tendered
the amount received to the Hon. Member for Finsbury,
which he declined, saying " that he would never receive
pecuniary' remuneration for any services rendered by him in
the cause of civil and religious liberty and in favour of an
extension of the people's rights." He added that if presented
to him he would hand the sum over to two popular associa-
tions. The Central Committee, however, subsequently de-
termined upon appropriating the sum to the purchase of a
piece of plate value 1,0001., which will be presented to the
Hon. Gentlem an in December next. Amongst the sub-
cribers' names stand those of two Conservatives, Mr.
D'lsraeli, M.P., and Mr. Ferrand, M.P.
ST. GEORGE'S BARRACKS, TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—
A prison is now in the course of erection at the rear of these
barracks, to obviate the necessity of confining military de-
linquents in oounty prisons.
A VIRTUOUS CONCLUSION.--A Yankee paper gives
the following as the climax in the address of a barrister to a
jury in an action for seduction. Describing his client, he
said :—" Ere this monster approached to beguile and betray
her, my client was blooming as the rose, gentlemen of the
Jury," liuoth Demosthenes, "light of step as the wild gazelle
of the desert ; gay as the larks ; beautiful as the Houns, and
virtuoue as..-and virtuous as—gentlemen be ex-
Ingted.".
