CORONER'S lA'QUES7'.

Saturday, an Inquest was held at the sign of the
Weymouth Arms, in Weymouth-street, Kent.road,
before R. Caaraw, Esq. on the body of Mr. Thomas
It-ivenhill, a distressed artist, who was found dead in
his bed the preceding morning. The deceased had
lived in a garret at an obscure loJging, in Weymouth-
street, for the last two years and nine months, during
which time the unfortunate man had never been visited
by friend Ir relation, to whom the persons in whose
house lie lodged had no method of communicating the,
circumstances of his death. In his pocket was found a
letter, with the initials J. R. attached to it, dated July'
29, 1825, recommending him strongly, in consequence
of his distresses, to make application to the Aitists
Bevevolent Society, held at the F.eemasons' Tavern,
the writer expressing his ct nviction that he would un-
questionably receive the relief which lie then stood in
so much need of.

The CORONER, upon swearing the Jury, inquired
X hether there were any persons in attendance who had
known the deceased in his life time ?

Shaw, the beadle, said he had made every inquiry
throughout the whole parish, but could not gain the
slightest information respecting him or his family.
Notwithstanding some of the Jury lived in the same
street, and within a door or two of the deceased's re-
sidence, yet they could not throw any light upon the
question as to his family or connexions.
Sirah Rutledge, his landlady, deposed that t!'e de-
, cvsed had lodged in her h,:use during the above-
mentioned period. He was an el&rly man, and always
appeared to be in very straitened circumstances du. ing
his' residence with her. No persons ever visited him,
hut he was in the habit of going out every day, and
wpsild often remain until late at night. On Thursday
morning he left home at an early hour, returned ::bout
ten o'clock at night, and then went up to bed, in ap-
parently his usual health and spirals. Toe foll.ming
morning, wit hearing him descend at his usual time,
witness imagining that he was ill, proceeded up to the
room, and on knocking at his door, no answer being
returned, she opened Oie dear, and discovered the
deceased lying dead on his bed.
A surgeon, who opened the deceased's head, &-
scribed the appearances, and sa'd he died in consequence
of serous apoplexy.—A verdict to this effect was given.
The body will be interred by the parish, the deceased
leaving no effects to pay the expenses of interment,
unless some of the friends or relatives, seeing an account
of his sudden death, claim the performance of the last
office themselves.
