CORONER'S INQUEST
ON THE BODY OF THE BIGHT HON. GEORGE

TIERNEY. M. P.

Yesterday afterooon, at four o'clock, an inquest was
held before J. H. Gan., Req. Coroner, and a highly respectable
Jury, at the home of Mr. Ratcliffe, the White Hone Tavern, at
the corner of Regent-street, and New Barlington.street, on the
body of the Right Honoarable George Tierney, M.P. aged 74,
whom death took place in the manner detailed by the following
witnesses :

Lieut.-Colonel Phipps, being sworn, said—Last Monday be-
tween the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, I had
been conversing with Mrs. 'Tierney in the drawing-room of the des
ceased's house; I proceeded to the library to speak to Mr.llerney.
On entering, I saw him sitting in his chair, in the attitude of sleep.
When I entered the library, I saw no one than but the deceased.
The servant told me that his master was asleep; I was struck with
his pale countenance, and I withdrew, lento the servant to
approach his master. The servant almost immediately came back
to me, and said he was afraid his master was dead. I immediately
returned, and closely looking at him, found he had ceased to
breathe; I instantly sent for medical assistance, and attempted to
loosen Isis neckcloth. Usk his forehead and bands, and found them
nearly cold. In a few minutes Mr. Cutler, a medical gentleman,
came, but in the interim I commanlcated to Mrs. Tierney that I
thought the deceased was in a fit.
Coaonea—Did the surgeon do any thing la your presence ?
Witness—hecalled for some brandy. I had not been In the house
more than a quarter of an hour. It was at Mrs. 's sus-
geodes that I went to the deceased, who had net the least Idea that
he was in an ill state dhealtb. She was not aware that be was in
the house at the time.
William Pritchard being sworn, said, 1 was butler to the
deceased. In his service two years. On Monday morning last
about a quarter before nine o'clock, I saw the deceased in his
dressing-room— he then appeared quite as well as he usually
did— be dressed himself, and bad his breakfast about half.
past ten o'clock, his family having breakfasted, but were
present In the room. Shortly afterwards be retired to his study.
I saw him two or three times in the course of the morning. After
kis breakfast be rang for me to settle the weekly accounts, and be
appeared to be as well as I have seen him for some time past.—
No one visited him in the course of the morning but Colonel
Phipps. I had not left the deceased man than ten minutes
previously to my introducing Colonel Phipps, and when I left
him he appeared to be well. and was welting a note, and
with no appearance whatever of sleep, drowsiness. or any
kind of illness. I entered the study, and announced Col. Phipps,
who was close behind me, and to my utter astonishment be seemed
to be in a sound deep. which made me exclaim to Colonel Phipps,
" Oh, my master is asleep." I announced Colonel Phipps again,
but received no answer. I then proceeded near to the deceased,
and exclaimed, "My master is dead." Medical assistance wan
sent for, and two or three gentlemen came in the course of five
_minutes.

Mr. Cutler was mm for by the Jury.
Dr. James Johnson deposed that he attended the deceased pro-
fessionally during the last slit or seven years. His disease was an
organic complaint, or eolargentent of the heart. The deceased's
body was opened on Tuesday last, in my presence, by Mr. Petti-
grew and Mr. Johnson (my son). and it was proved that the disease
was what it had long been suspected to be...namely, enlargement
and organic disease of the bean, andperanns labouring under such

Mr. Thomas Joseph Pettigrew surgeon, of Saville-row, being
sworn, said—On Tuesday last I ;lambed the body atlas deceased
with Mr. Johnson. I found mosklerable &ease en the chest and
the heart, especially on the right side, to which his death is an.
questionably attributable. The mode of death on this occasion is
such as is usual in cases of this description.

The Jury. on their return, delivered till following verdict :
" That tho dammed died a natural death by the visitation of God—

There were two trials in the case—in the first instance. a verdict

The bankrupt, Mr. Sherwin. was a bookseller, residing in the year
1611 in Paternester-row. and various acts of bankruptcy were
posed by the evidence given for the plaintiff. He (Mr. Sergeant
I Teddy) offered in evidence the depositions of a shopkeeper of Sher-
win (the individual himself being dead), which were made by him
before the Commisdoners, upon whose testimony Sherwin was de-
clared a bankrupt ; bet his learned Friend (Mr. Sergeant Wilde)
objected to them, and they were refused to be adegued in evi-
dence. Now he contended that by the Mid clause of the 6th of
Geo. IV. they ought to be admitted. He pressed this point upon
the attention of the Court. The Learned Sergeant here read the
clause is qeestion, and called the particular attention of the Court
to it. He thus promeded to show that the verdict was in opposi-
