Oxford-street, Portman-square, before THOMAS STIR•
Ltnia, Esq. for the purpose of investigating the cause

Dalston Nevinson, M. D. Physician to St. George's
and Middlesex dospitals, re-assembled for the pur-
pose of hearing better evidence t a n could be brought
forward on its former sitting.
J. Gourd, Esq. Na. S. Pleasant-place, Penton-
vil:e, being sworn, said, that be was driving his til-
bury, in which was his wife, on the north side of
•Pertman•sgnare : he was going at a steady pace, a
waggon passed by and the driver struck his horse,
and his (witness's) horse, but he did not think the
driver did it intentionally ; the moment it received
the stroke of the whip, it bolted and ran very swiftly
till it get to the top of the west side of the square ;
be pulled the reins a ith all his might, and was not
able to step the horse s but unfortunately the foot-
board of the tilbury broke, and he then had no power
to curb the horse. He and his wife being aware of
the imminent danger in which they were, would
have leap:d out it they could, but he was dashed out
before he could make the attempt, and she was
thrown out immediately alter. He was so very
ci.mosed, that he did not know whether be was
thrown out before or after the accident happened to
the deceased.

The Jury, satisfied that the calamity was purely
accidental, ;sad not attributable to the vicious dispo-
sition of the horse, returned a verdict of—Accidental
Death, and were of opinion that it was rot u case in
which the law, relating to deodands, ought to be
entorcvd.
