CORONERS' INQUESTS.

-

Inquisitions were taken last night before Thomas
Higgs, Esq. on the bodies of two patients of St.
,George's Hospital.
The first case was that of Lucy Hant, an aged wo-
man, residing in Saint Alban's Place, Haymarket, who
was injured in the head about a fortnight back by the
fall of a pail which had been placed on the dust bin.
She was in cbnsequerrce conveyed to this hospital. Mr.
and Mrs. Gibbs, relations to the deceased, deposed to
having visited her in the hospital every day up to the
time of her death.

Mr. William Carroll, the House Surgeon of the Hos-
pital deposed to the deceased's being brotaght there on
Friday week ; she had a wound on the scalp bone of
her head, which at the time was not considered dan-
gerous. Everything proper was done for' her. She
went on very favourably until Saturday last, when she
was attacked wi!h erysipelas in her head.--From her
great age, and weakness, her constitution gave way, and
she died from the effects of the wound.

Examined by Mr. Gibbs.—Wu there any large artery in her
head cut?
Witness.—She told me she had lost upwards of two quarts of
blood,and I should therefore suppose there must have been.
4r. Gibbs.—l should have thought you must have found whe-
ther it were so or not, when you examined the wound?
Witness.—lt was not necessary to examine it.
Mr. ffibbs.—l understand poultices were applied to the head
from day to day?
Witness.—That was not till after she had been four days in the
Hospital.
Mr. Gibbs.—Why were they more necessary then than at first ?
Witness.--Bectrase the wound did not heal up as was expected.
The Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental Death.
The second enquiry was touching the death of John
Sharp, a bricklayer, who, it appeared, fell from a scaf-
fold oa which lie was at work, in the Vauxhall-road,
and was conveyed to this Hospital, where be died. Ver.
dict—Accidegtal Death.
Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at the sign of the
Walnut Tree, Stepney Green, before J. W. Unwtx, Esq. on view
of the body of Thomas Wardell, a fine boy, ten years of age, the
son of a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood, who was
killed by falling front a tree. Verdict, " Accidental Death."
On the same evening another Inquest was taken before the same
Coroner, at the London Hospital, on the body of Elizabeth Harris,
an aged woman. The only evidence was that of Sarah Low, toe
of the house nurses, who stated that the deceased was brought into
the Hospital on the 9th of July last with a compound fracture of
the thigh, and that she died on Wednesday morning. Verdict
as above.

Monday, John Evans, Who was convicted of mur-
der at Brecon Great Sessions, was executed at Brecon
Jail. In the morning he fully acknowledged his guilt:

The following is an extract from a letter written by
captain PWICRAS, of his Majesty's ship Ent, to the
Rev. G. A. BROWNE. of Trinity o n

196th of May I anchored at Accarah, on my return from

me, recognized Mr. Houston, the Gentleman to who*
I was the bearer of letters from yourself and tart
Bst.zont. I took him into my gig, and went on shON
and continued in his society the remainder of the thee;
I delivered the portrait and letters. Mr. Hewn,

also of his mother and sister. The place of his burial is
respected, and will remain so. As Mr. II ittsron as
returning to Benin, I have requested him to ()tome

shall with care preserve it for vor Mrs. BELE
whose feelings I can well commi erate. When at
Mince's Island, the other day, I heard that a vessel had
arrived, with a monument for Bal.zom, in the, Benin
river. Mr. Housross also told me that Mrs. Bzcz-ut
