Acme kil'ed on Monday might, by au acciden4, in the
Broadway, Westminster.
Thomas Richardson stated, that he is'a surgeon at
the Westminstev Infirmary. On Mims* - evenings,.
Jane Bishop was carried into the Hospital, bleeding,.
the head ; she was and eTritinned so fill
she died, at half.past eight o'clock: tie examined
the body, and found.a very oi/ere injury. in the
which 'Was of itself sufficient to have caused her,
death.—Miss ThlrziAldred..was brought into the,
Infirmary the same evening.; she was insensible; het-
head was also dreadfully injured; she lived an hoot'
And a half. • ff examined her bodY, and 'found an

George Donald, of Itroadwily, Westminster, boat
and shoemaker, stated, that'on Monday eveningg. be,
was in his shop ; 'at the time the accident took. placE,
he heard a voice come from the top of.a.Scaffuld. ~
fancied the call was, " get out of the way; .but be,
did not think so till after he had seen the accident.
He also heard a violent crash, and on going to siie
the cause, he saw Mrs. Jane Bishop lying on the
pavement on her back, about eight yards •fros
scaffold erected at the front of the house of a
tor. A great crowd was collected, and a female
itupported her head. Her hair was clotted with blohd.
She appeared to be lifeless. She was conveyed on a
shatter to the Hospital: After assisting to put Mrt.
Bishop on a shutter, he saw Miss Aldred- in the shop-
of a Mrs. Simmons. She was quite insensible. Het,
shoulder was dislocated, and her. head bled very
Much. He advised that she should be conveyed to
the Hospital.
Mrs. Hannah Simmons, wife of Wm. Simmons, of
Broadway, Westminster, stated that she resided next
door to the house of Mr. Fox. On Monday evening
she saw 'a large pole fall from the scaffold, which
struck- down Miss Aldred, who was walking along
the foiit-pavement. She took her into her house, and'
set her on a chair; she was senseless. A surgeon was
sent for; Mr. Painter came immediately, and recom-
mended,
she should be taken to the Hospital ; she was,
'however, taken to her mother's house, and from
thence she was conveyed to the Hospital.
Examined by a Juror.—Did not see that any of the
men who were putting up the scaffold were drunk.
William Smith, of Brewer's-green, stated be was
passing down the Broadway at the time the accident
occurred; he saw a large pole against a scaffold; and
as, he stepped upon the foot-pavement he saw it
coming down ; he thought it was being let down by
a man upon the scaffold ; there was atman standing
at the bottom of the pole, endeavouring to support
it, but he•was not able; it fell over his shoulder and
struck Mrs. Bishop ; he assisted in raising her from
the ground, and applied water to her temples; she at
first groaned deeply; and Soon became insensible.
Juror.—Were both the deceased persons struck by
onepole?

Witness.—He believed not. He saw only one pole
fall; but afterwards saw two poles lying on the,
ground. The poles fell in different directions. The
pole be saw fall came from the scaffolding very
slowly, and at the same time a person at the top of,
the scaffold called to persons underneath to take care.:
He afterwards saw Miss Aldred lying on the ground;'
be helped to cal ry her to Mrs. Simmons's house. The,
person standing at the bottom of the pole-was not in,
toxicated. As SOOll 'as the accident happened, the,
person on the scaffold (M,r. Goodwin, jun. builder.),
came down with a piece of broken rope in his hand;
he said that he was tying the poles to the scaffold,
when the rope broke; he tumbled backwards, and
the poles fell.
Mr. Fox, the proprietor of the house, said that he
saw one of the poles on the head and back of Mrs.,
Bishop. That was the first he saw. His house was,
being new-fronted by Mr. William Goodwin, builder,
of Peter-street. A scaffold was erected, and there
were two poles more than were necessary. Mr. John
Goodwin, the son of the builder, ordered the man to
raise the two poles to the side of the scaffold, he said
It was too late to take them home, and he would g 0
and lash them to the scaffold. He saw Mr. W. Good
win go up with a rope. He did not see the poles
fall. He heard Mr. John Goodwin cry out, " Take
Ore below," and he saw his hat fall to the ground ;
after this he saw the pole lying upon a woman on
the pavement. He did' not.see Miss Aldred at all.
Mr. John Goodwin came down from the scaffold the
moment the accident happened ; he had a piece of
rope in his hand; he said that he did not know if the
rope had broken or slipped. Mr. Goodwin stood on
the scaffold about the height of the second story.
Mr. Benjamin Jacobs, residing in the Broadway,
brought charges against some of the Surgeons of the
Westminster infirmary, for not attending to the de-
ceased persons.
_ _

The CORONRa refused to take his evidence, because
he was not in the room, into which the deceased per-•
sons were conveyed, and could not say whether they
were attended.to or.not.—He was advised to go be-
fore the Monthly Board and lay his complaint.
-John Allen, a labourer, • stated that he assisted in
putting up the.scaffold ou Monday, at the.front
Mr. Fox's house. There were two poles more thais
were wanted. He raised tjieui up, and Mr. Jobe
Goodwin was on the.seaffold•to lash them to it. He'.
saw Mr. Jahn Goodwin in the act of lashing them,
and the rope either.brOke us:slipped through his hand
he fellhackwards, and very narrowly escaped falling,
to the ground. M:. Goodwin was very careful in
lashing the poles. It was by accident the poles fell.
*As,they were falling, he endeavoured to.prevent them,
but was obliged to get out ofThe way to sivelimself.
Examined- by.a Juror,—He-raised (Vie pole upright

Ceased and a fine boy, ten years of age, son of a re-
spectable tradesman, were both, buried underneath.
The deceased was taken out quite dead, a very shock-
ing spectacle, crushed to pieces. The other boy's
highs were broken, and his body otherwise so badly
mutilated, that he his' since died. The Coroner and.
Jury thought the builder was highly censurable tor
not having erected a stronger hoard, and after a good
deal of discussion the following verdict was returned:
Accidental Death, caused by the falling' of a
hoard, and building mate, ials—deodand ; and the
Jury are of opinion that blame attaches to Mr. Jona-
t4an, the builder, in consequence of the insecurity of
the board, and in placing the building materials mr)
as.to press against it."
Tuesday evening, an Inquest was held at the Turf
Tap, Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, on the bosly of Ann
Norris. A young woman, in the service of a Gen.
tleman, residing at No. 22, Church-street, Queen's
Elms, Brompton, stated, that on Saturday night she
went from her master's house to market, and left the
deceased, who was house-maid, alone. On returning,
a little before one o'clock, she knocked at the door,
but could not obtain admittance. On looking over
the railing, she was alarmed by seeing Ann Nonis
lying on her face at the bottom of the area ; she ap-
peared lifeless, and was all over blood. Witness
screamed for assistance. A neighbour got over the
area railing, went up stairs, and let witness in at the
front door. On going,down stairs they raised up the
deceased; she appeared quite dead, and about two
quarts of blood were on the floor. A surgeon was
sent for, who said that, as there were no mai ks of
violence on her person,. the effusion of blood was oc-
casioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel in an apo-
plectic fit. It appeared that the deceased had been
subject to fits,Verdict--.4, Died in a fit, by the vi-
sitation of GOD."

Tuesday evening, the body of Thomas Bean, one
of the three unfortunate bookbinders, who were
droWned on the preceding Tuesday evening, off the
Red House, at Battersea, on their return from Kew,
was found
.at low water on the Surrey side of the
River, facing the Tower. The body was carried to
a neighbouring public-house, for the Coroner's In.
quest. The same evening, the body of Thos. Buchan,
Another of the unfortunate men, Wai found floating at
low water mark facing the King's Arms, at Chelsea,
where the body now lies for the Coroner's Inquest.
A few days since, as some men were digging fct
the purpo,e of under-pinning the foundation of the
house of Mr. Ellis, of Heathbefa, they discovered and
took Up three bottles containing green gooseberries,
the fruit being in excellent preservation, although ;k is
thought, from the nature of its situation, that it must
have lain buried-a century or more - •
The crops of apfles in Yorkshire are so great, that
at Scarborough, on Thuisciay last, they sold at two.
pence per peck. .
-The folloWingpecurrince took place at Hardwicke
on the 16th ultimo:—Eleanor Smith, fifteen years oi
age, threw up from her stomach a live green snake,
nine or ten inches in length, which she had probably
taken in three years since, while drinking at a brook.
During that time she has been confined to her bed,
and had become much emaciated. The snake was
perfqctly lively, running about the house, up on chairs,
tables, &c. The girl is now free Irom pain, and ap-
parently on the recovery.—American Paper.
