FATAL EFIMCFS OF TO THUNDZR STozw.—Yet•
terday an Inquest was held at the Alfred's Head public
house, Stepney, on the body of William Dowell, late a
pay clerk in the service of the East India Company. It
appeared that during the violent storm which visited
the Metropolis on Tuesday, the lightning entered the
house of the deceased, in Alfred-street, as he was sit-
ting at dinner with his wife and six children. It first
penetrated through the window, next shattered a parti-
tion, then destroyed the contents of a cupboard, and
finally reached the deceased, who died immediately
after the shock. On the body were several spots and
streaks, which had been produced by the awful visita-
tion. The house was also considerably injured. A Ter-
diet was returned—That the deceased died from the
effects of lightning.
