THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BOARD
THE MOONLIGHT.
The adjourned inquest in this case was resumed last evening,
before Mr. Redford and a respectable jury, at the St. Martin
public-house, Adelphi.
Mr. Coppock again attended on the part of the parents of
the deceased, and Mr. Catterns on that of the Irons Steam-
boat Company.
Henry Tucker. employed by the Company, and whose duty it
was to attend to the head rope, by which the deceased lost his
life, deposed that he was on board the Moonlight on the 18th
instant. When it. started from London-bridge in the evening,
about seven o'clock, the rope was coiled up on the fore part of
the vessel, which was the usual place for putting it. On ar-
riving at the Htmgerford pier; he threw the rope on the
gangway of the Prince of Wales, which was laying along-
side, arid a easust boy made it fast to the timber-head. but
who was in no way eosin, cted with the boats. It was wit-
nese, duty to attend to this rope, and he remained with it
in hand from the time it was matle fast until the captain
gave directiot,s to go on, when he unwound the rope
from the timber-head of the Moonlight, and called out
for some version to do the same on board th? Princn of Wales,
but there was no one there at the time. It *as the duty of
the pier-man to undo this tope. The engines of the Moon-
light then made two or three revoletions, but the captain, per-
ceiving that it was still fast to the Prince of Wales, gave or-
tlers to stop. There was, however, ;dwelt three yards of the
rope lying loose on the deck, '.shieh was not run out, hut the
Prince of Wales went astern. and, consequently, made the rope
taught, and in doing s caught the leg of the deceased, and
dragged him along the deck to the timber-head, where his leg
was torn eff. Witness lifted up deceased, and placed him on
the chain box. He swore positively that at the time of the
accident the Moonlight was motionless, and the rope was only
rendered taught by the Prince of Wales going astern. That
part of the deck on which the decased was standing before the
accident was not intended for pessengers, but there was no-
thing to prevent persons getting there. It was the duty of the
captain to see that the boat was clear before he gave directions
to proceed onwards, and he could easily have seen the rope whr n
the accident happened.
On cross-examination he further deposed that there was an.
other boat between the Prince of Wales and the pier. The
accident would not have occurred had the Prince of Wales re-
mained stationary. Witne,s gave it as his opinion that such
accidents would be prevented in fit-tire if there were more
pier-men provided to attend upon the boats coming to Hun-
gerford-market.
William Giles, mate of the Prince of Wales, who was on
board his boat at the time of the accident, partly corroborated
the above evidence; but he stated in contradistinction, that
the Prince of Wales was motionless at the time of the acci-
dent, but that the Moonlight was going ahead and the engines
were in motion.
Several of the jurymen here observed that the evidence given
was very conflicting, and expressed their intention of sitting the
matter to the utmest ; and for this purpose they further ad-
journed until Thursday (to-morrow), at three o'clock.
Before the proceedings terminated it was intimated that a
subscription had been set on foot, headed by the employer of
the deceased, on behalf of his bereaved parents, who, it is
stated, are in very poor circumstances.

ELIZA GRIMWOOD.—It will be in the recollection
of our readers that some days ago a paragraph appeared in
the daily newspapers, describing that a man named George
Hill, a private in the 67th regiment, at present quartered in
Dublin, had made a statement in writing to the effect that he
was the murderer of Eliza Grimwood, which was perpetrated
at her house in the Waterloo road on the 6th of May, 1838.
To aid in the investigation which will shortly be entered into,
Mr. Inspector Field, who rendered himself extremely active
during the lengthened examinations that took place, has re-
ceived directions to proceed to the Southwark Police-court. in
which district the murder was committed, and to inform the
magistrate of the fact of the man Hill having made the con-
fession already referred to in thr. above account. On Monday
the inspector accordingly waited on Mr. Trail, and as it will
be expedient that Inspector Field, and Gough, an active ser-
geant of the L division, who was also engaged in the previous
investigations into this mysterions murder, should have an op-
portunity of seeing Hill, they will proceed to Dublin for the
purpose, and, if nece,,sary, will forthwith bring him over in
custody to this country, the principal witnesses being still in
existence, and living in the neighbourhood of London. Hub-
bard, the man who bad cohabited with Eliza Grimwood, and
was present in the house on the night of the murder, died
about two years ago at Hamptt.n.

A BATCH OF ONF; POUND NOTES.—On Friday,
632/. was paid into the Bank in one pound notes by the trus-
tees to the will of James Satcherley, an old man (a beggar),
who died in a cellar in Shadwell some weeks back. After his
decease the above notes, together with other moneys, were
found conceeed, with a species of will, in a cupboard. The
notes must have been hoarded many years.
[ADVERTI E ENT.] —llow TO OBTAIN HEALTH
WHHN LOST.—The wonderful regenerating effects that Hol-
loway's pills produce upt.n the whole system is truly astonish-
ing. This wonderful medicine perfectly identifies and assimi-
lates itself with the blood and other fluids, while it removes
from them all impurities. It acts upon the stomach, the liver,
the heart, the lunge, and the kidneys, and in its course en surely
cleanses and invigorates those organs as t, make the return of
health the immediate consequence of a few dwes of this won-
der-working remedy. Persons of weak and debilitated consti-
tutions are sure to regain their health and vigour by their use,
even when every other means have faded. Sold.by all medi-
cine vendors, likewise at Professor Holloway's establishment,

" Six,- I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong anaunso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recoui se
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one Listance in which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the first box herself, they nave proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think
