CORONZR INQUESTS.

Last night, an Inquest was held at the sign of the
Crown and Cushion, Russell-street, on the body of Mr.
Charles M,Carthy, formerly an Officer in the service
of the Emperor of Austria, who fell down in the Pit
of Drury-lane Theatre on Monday night last, and
expired just at the moment Mr. Kean was represent-
ing the dying scene in Richard the Third. Mr. James
Cole, surgeon, corner of York-street, Covent Garden,
being sworn, said as follows :—" I was sent for to at-
tend a Gentleman who was said to be dying or dead,
in the Pit passage of Drury-lane Theatre, about half-
past ten o'clock on Monday night last ; I attended
immediately. and found the deceased supported on a
stool, near the money-takers office; life appeared to
be extinct ; nevertheless, I thought proper to open a
vein in the arm, and also the temporal artery, but
could not produce blood; and I found it useless to
attempt anything further. My opinion is, that the
deceased died in a fit of apoplexy ; and since I have
viewed the body at the request of the Jury, that opi-
nion is confirmed." Henry Edward Church, Devon-
shire-street, surgeon, attended the deceased with Mr.
Coles, and confirmed in every respect his evidence.
James Davies, constable, assisted in carrying the de-
ceased into the passage of the pit, examined his poc-
kets, and found the envelope of a letter, on which
was written—" Chac. M•t;arthy, Esq. Bull Inn,
Bishopsgate-street." Upon applying there, I found
that was the place of his residence. Major Albert
D'Alton, of the army, residing in Conduit-street,
,stated, " The deceased is distantly related to me, he
had been lately at Paris, and was on his way to his
family at Dublin : but remained in London for a few
'days for the purpose of seeing a few friends. I re-
ceived a letter from him a few days ago, informing
me that he had a fit of the gout. Deceased was not
a married man : he was a dentleman of a Light,' re-
spectable family, and formerly was an Ofiker in the
Austrian service." Verdict —Died by the Visitation •
of GOD.

An Inquest was last night held at the Crooked
Billet, Ratcliffe-highway, on the remains of 31r.
lionnen- and his son, the former aged 27, and the lat-
ter four years, who were burnt to death on Monday
morning last. The following evidence was given :
R. Edwards.—" I am a patrole of this parish. On
Monday morning, about three o'clock, I saw a smoke
issuing from the shop windows of Mr. Bonner; I
sprung my rattle, and heard a female voice cry aloud,
save my child r and saw a woman leaning through
a window, holding a child by the clothes ; 1 looked
through the crevice of the shutters, and saw that the
shop was in flames, and that it was impossible to go
in ; and on turning round, saw something falling
from the window ; I had just time to extend my arm,
and the child fell upon it and on the flags ; I picked
it up, and gave it to a woman standing by. Mrs.
Bonnet then put one leg out of the window; I en-
treated her not to drop, and she drew back; I then
rapped loudly at the neighbours' houses. but could
not get assistance : I thought of taking off my coat,
to extend it, that she might throw herself into it; but
before I could take it oil she fell from the window,
dressed only in her night-clothes. At this time the
fire had not reached through the roof of the shop.
An engine arrived in ten minutes alter I saw the
fire; I cstn form no opinion as to thecanse of the fire.
There was no smell of gas at the time ; I had no con-
ception of any thing of, the sort."
Juryman.—" A quantity of gas escaped from the
tube at my house, a short time ago, but the smell
was so offensive it :woke the whole• family ; and I
am convinced it will not set tire to any thing unless
confined."

Maria Foster.—" I was servant to Mr. Bonner

I slept in the two pair bask• room ; I was awoke by
my master crying out' File, fire!' I leaped ont of
bed directly, and felt the boards hot t. I tried to get out
at the door, but could not find it ; the deceased child
slept with me ; I got upon the leads, and called for
assistance; Mr. Piggot's men assisted me upon the
counting-house, from whence I leaped into one of the
men's arms."

Mr. Bonner's brother-in-law asked if she did not
take the child out of bed before she got out of the
window herself? Witness said she did ; but was afraid
to throw it through the window, and put it into bed
again.
Coroner.—" Is there any reason to suspect the pre-
mises were wilfally set on fire ?"
Juryman.—" It is rumoured, that there was some
explosive substance in the shop and cellar, and that
the servant set it on fire by accident."
Witness.—" I could not set fire to any thing ; there
was nothing in the cellar but coals."
Juryman,—" I have been informed that there is a
communication between the cellars of Mr. Bonner
and Mr. Piggott'
Witness.—" There formerly was ; but at the time
of the fire there was no communication whatever."
The Coroner said, that it was impossible to have
the evidence of Mrs. Bonner, for she was so unwell,
that the knowledge of the death of her husband was
. kept from her : there seemed to be no ground for sup-
,posing that the premises were set on fire otherways
than by accident. Verdict—Accidentally Burnt to
Death.

An Inquest was yesterday held at the Golden Lion,
Dean-street, Soho, on the body of J. Villats, who
died suddenly at the house of a friend, in Gerrard-
street. He had held a situation in the Barrack De-
partment. Verdict—Apoplexy.
Thursday se'nnight an Inquest was held on the
body of Mrs. Donnell, wife of Mr. Doswell, oil and
colourman, of Boston. Her death was occasioned by
the boiling over ef a kettle of varnish, which bursting
into a flame, communicated to her clothes, and burst
her so shockingly, that she expired soon after. Ver-
dict—Accidental Death.

Mr. BARTLEY, a master tailor, in the west end of
the town, was taken ill on Tuesday, in Exeter-street,
Smand, on his way to his customers with some
clothes. Ho went into a shop to rest himself and
there expired.

Saturday se night a fine boy about three yea*
old, son of Ralph Edwards, a labouring man, resi-
ding in a cottage near the barracks, on Shorncliff,
while playing with a lighted match, unfortunately
set fire to its clothes, and before the flames could be
extinguished, the little sufferer was so dreadfully'
