have fallen in. But Ido not believe that the walls did,
give way until they were forced out by the lion break.
ing. There was no neglect or inattention on the part
of Mr. Maudslayonor in those employed by him in the
construction of the building. A few minutes before
the accident I was at the top of the building.
Mr. Ilidnorh, a builder, h lying inspected the pre-
mises at the wish of the Jury, he stated that the gable
e:Icl of the building, which connects Nlr. Field's pre-
n‘ises, was net sufficiently strong for so heavy a roof.
The wall at the gable was two bricks thick, but thrre
being windows and a door, he was inclined to think
that it ought to have been thicker. T: e rest of the
walls, he conceived, were as thick as the Btuliing Act
iequired.
Mr. Wright, a builder, confirmed his testimony, having inspected
the premises with him.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Jury, after an
hour's deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" Accidental
death, occaoiorked by a part of the materials composing the factory
of Henry Maudslay falling on the deceased William Glover. For
the evidence produced, the Inquest feel it their imperative duty to
observe, that, in the erection of the building, the fall of which occa-
sioned the death of the said William Glover, due caution had not
been used."

Two Inquests were also held yesterd.ry evening at
Sr. Thomas's Hospital, on Edmund Lee and Samuel
Booth, whose deaths were occasioned by the above ac-
cident in Westminster-road. Several witnesses were
ex mined, whose evidence agreed that the accident was
occasioned by the imperfections in the material of the
roof, and not from the misconstruction of the walls. The
first named was a labourer, and employed on the ground
floor, filling sacks with shavings for the use of the men
employed on the rot); and the hitter engaged A* a smith,
chipping the iron of the roof, when it fell in. Mr.
Thomas H. Fowke and Mr. Joseph Ricks, dressers to
the Hospital, considered the death of both were occa-
sioned by the injuries they had received. Verdict in both
cases—Accidental Death. Deodand One Shilling.
An inquest was yesterday taken at the Cumberland's Head, City-
road, on the body of a new-born infant, which was found, on the
preceding day, in a privy at the rear of the house of Mrs. Grin,
No. 10, Jane-street. Mr. Roby, a Surgeon, gave it as his opinion,
that the child was born alive, and had died by suffocation in the soil.
Verdict—Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown.

Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather yester
day, the roads to Epsom were crowded at an early hour by equi-
pages of all descriptions ; and the assemblage of rank and fashion
on the Downs was fully equal to any thing we have before wit-
nessed on the Oaks day. Hill was completely covered, arid
the sides of the Course were lined three deep with carriages from
the winning to the distance post. Among other distinguished visi-
tors we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke
of Gloucester, his Grace the Duke of Richmond, Lord Egremont,
Lord Verulam, Lord Jersey, Lord Berkeley, Lord Sefton, Zicc.
