CORONER'S INQUEST.—Tuesday an Inquest was held
in the Committee-room of St. Andrew's workhouse,
Gray's Inn-lane, on the body of John Carmoody, aged
twenty-two, who met his death under circumstances
of a horrid description. It appeared that the deceased
was employed with several other men in repairing a
house at Islington ; and on Thursday evening last, while
going up a ladder with a hod of mortar, on his arrival
nearly at the top of the house his foot slipped, and he was
precipitated therefrom,on which he fell upon the railings
in front of the house. The violence with which hii body
fell broke four of the spikes, one of which stuck through
his side, and remained in his body until the following
day, when he expired in excruciating agony. Every
medical assistance was afforded him, and the circum-
stance being purely accidental, the Jury returned a ver-
dict to that effect. The widow of the deceased pre-
sented a petition to' the Coroner and Jury, stating that
she had been left with three children, without the least
means of support. She had placed a little money in a
Savings'Bank, and gave the certificate.to a near relation,
as security for a trifling loan to bury her husband, and
her relation had received the whole and absconded.—
The Coroner and Jury entered into a subscription for her,
which amounted to upwards of a pound.
Yesterday an Inquest was held at the New Inn, Mary-
labonne-lane, on the body of an elderly female. It
appeared that the deceased had lately lost her husband ;
that she had become quite melancholy, and bad given
herself up to habits of intoxication. She occupied
apartments in the lower part of a house in Marylabonde-
lane, with her daughter, and on Monday night she
was seen ►ery much inebriated. At about ten o'clock
she retired to bed, and fell asleep until twelve
o'clock, when her daughter came home and knocked
at the door repeatedly, but could not arouse her mo.
ther, and she was ultimately admitted by one of the
lodgers in the house. On entering the bed-room of
the deceased, she was missing, and no tidings could be
traced of her until she looked out of the second•floor
window, which was open, and beheld the deceased
stretched on the stones of the yard. It was proved
by an inmate of the house, that when the deceased'.
daughter was knocking, the deceased was heard to
open her door and walk but, muttering to herself : she
staggered about as if intoxicated, arid it is supposed
that she mistook her way, and under the impression
that the window was the door, she was precipitated to
the yard head foremost. Verdict—" The deceased was
killed by falling out of a window whilst in a state of
intoxication."

Yesterday morning a man named Benjamin Sweet-
man, well known as a well-digger, excavator, and sewer
creeper, went into Upper Lisson-street, St. Mary-la-
bonne, in order to descend a well opened there, belong-
ing to Mr. Do chin, for the purpose of deepening at.
The deceased had bean cautioned against foul air, but
would pay no attention to the well-meant advice given
him, as he had been down the day before, and again on
the fatal morning, and came up safe; scarcely had he
reached two.thirds of the depth when his head was per-
ceived to fall back, and be fell to the bottom. A young
man, named John Crosby, at the risk of his lite, de-
scended, and was brought up by the by slanders in a
lifeless state; fortunately he recovered. The body of
the unfortunate Sweetman was got up by means of
ho ks affixed to cords in about an hour atter, and re-
!Loved to the yard at the back of the Sun, when a sur-
geon, who was in a tendance, opened the jugular vein
and used every other possible means to restore life
without effect.

-Thursday, As Mr. Rom), a surgeon of considerable
practice at Hampstead, was travelling with two Ladies
and a G-ntleman, inhabitants also of Hampstead. on
their road to Ais•la•Chapelle, near a small town in
Brabant called "firlemont, be fell back in the carriage
while conversinz with one of his friends, and instantly
espired.
