CORONER'S INQUEST.

154torday afternoon an Inquest was held at the house
of Mr. Donnell, the sign of the Bee Hive, Crawlord-
street, 'Winchester-square, before Thos. Stumm, El.
Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Ann Pym, aged 50, whose
death took place under the following awfully sudd,

Mr. John Williams, of Crawford-street, deposed, th
on Thursday night last, about ten o'clock, he was walk.
ing near the above house, when his attention was at.
meted by something lying on the pavement. He pro-
ceeded to the spot, when he found it to be the body of
a woman. He assisted her from the ground, and seen d
her on the step of a door, on which he discovered that
she was in a dying condition. He immediately carried
her into Mr. Dunnell's house, and tent for a surgeon,
but she soon afterwards expired.
Mr. Donnell stated, that the deceased, shortly befira
she was found in the street, had been to his house
a pint of porter, Which she was taking to her residence
in York-street, Manchester-square, when she fell dawn
M a fit. She then appeared in perfect health and Thin.
Mr. Bush, the Surgeon, stated, that he was called
upop to attend the deceased. On his arrival at Mr.
Dunnelrs he found her apparently dead; he, however,
opened a vein, but to no purpose, she being quite dead.
She died through appuplexy.
Mr. Donnell hue wished to ask Mr. Stirling, whether
Licensed Victuallers were bound to receive dead bodies
into their houses under similar circumstances. The body
of the deceased woman had been in one of his apart-
MINIM since Thursday, and was in a high state of putt*.
flexion, which caused the greatest annoyance to his
kc. He conceived it to be very bud that they
should be put to so much inconvenience and esrine on
such occasions.

Mr. &nature replied. that it was certainly very in.
convenient for Licensed Victuallers to have a dead body
in the house; be knew of no law to compel them to take
in dead bodies.
Mr. Dunnell said, that every assistance was afforded
the unfortunate woman, on whose death he found it
necessary to procure a coffin for her, in consequence of
the putrid state of the body. He would willingly have
boned her at his own expense, rather than have the
body in the house.
Mr. Srtaxtiou ii.formed Mr. Dunnell that the body
of a el:ceased person found in the street might be car.
lied to the workhouse or watchhouse until the Inquest
was held.

The Jury thought it *exceedingly hard upon licensed
victuallers, who were put to great trouble and expense
through the medium of Coroners' Inquests, without
being remise: aced. They returned a verdict of u Died
by the visitation of Gon."

FlaL—•This morning, about two o'clock, a fire
broke out on the premises of Mr. BACHELOR, book.
binder. in Johnson's-court, Fieet-street. The flames
were first seen to issue from the first floor window.—
Fs orn the confined situation of the premises, no engine,
except that belonging to the parish, was able to reach
the spot, and their exertions were, for a considerable
time, retarded, through a want of water. At length,
having received a supply, the engine., which had pea.
trated into Gough-quare, began to play with consider.
able effect on the flames, which had assumed an alarm.
ing attitude; the houses adjoining being in the most
imminent danger. In about halt an hour they happily
succeeded in arresting its progress.
BRUTALITY PUNlSHZD.—Saturday morning a boy,
about 14 years of age, happening to give some trifling
offence to the waiter (a man grown) of a soup shop is
Smithfield, the latter followed him out into the mai ke.,
and having knocked him down with his fist, kicked
him in the ribs and other parts of his body in the most
inhuman and savage manner. Just at this time a reso•
lute, stout. John-Bull-looking butcher, who witnessed
the unmanly attack, came up, promptly interfered, and
pulling the aggressor away with one hand, gave him a
slap in the mouth with the other, and then challenged
him to fight, which the waiter, however, thought proper
to decline; he then lifted the boy np, and having armed
him with his stick, desired him to lay it lustily about
the back and shoulders of his assailant, which he did to
the great gratification and amusement of the bye-
standers, who applauded the 'conduct of the sturdy
knight of the cleaver ;" and the waiter, having re•
ceived a severe and well-merited caestigation, slunk back
into the soup shop, loaded with the execrations and
jeers of the spectators.
Richard Power, an honest labourer, died on Sunday
last; his wife died the preceding evening, and the one
grave entombed them both on Monday. The husband
had been labouring under consumptive complaints
these ten weeks past, during which time his wife at.
tended him, but finding him beyond recovery, and
seeing no prospect for herself after his death bnt want,
she laid herself down beside him, and, after lingering a
short time, expired.— Waterford Climax.
