4D.70.1711XED INQUEST•

AMUR IN DOVER-67RM', BLACKIPRIARS-ROAD.
Yesterday evening, the adjourned Inquest on Wil-
liam Gregory, who was killed by a prostitute called
. Win-sous Alane," in Dover-street, Blackfriars-road,
on Wedneclay last, took place at the Cooper's Arms,
Tower-street, Westminster. road.
Mr. Cook, the .surgeon, who in his evidence the
right before betrayed considerable modesty and dif-
fidence in delivering his opinion as to the actual cause
of the deceased's death,
although he opened the head,
expressed his inclination that some other gentleman
of his profession should assist him in examining the
body anatomically.
The Coroner having decided that such an exami-
nation was necessary, before the Jury could consis-
tently return any verdict ; and further, that one of
the Churchwardens should be present, directed the
constable to summon them in future upon all occa-
sions of this kind. It having been stated by two wit-
nesses, that the deceased after being struck upon the
breast, exclaimed, "lam a dead man," and it being
thought that it was then he received the fatal blow,
the further examination of the body was deemed un-
avoidably necessary, and consequently every thing
recommended was punctually observed.
The deceased was looked upon as a snot indus-
trious and regular individual, particularly clean, and
cliCent in his manners and general conduct. He
was about 60 years of age, and has left a wife and
four children, who were depending upon him for
their support.
Mr. Cook now. arated, that after be departed from
tha Jury-room an the precadiag sight, he, in com-
pany with Mr. Hyde, another surgeon, opened the
body. The stomach contained a small quantity of
foocl, but was not at all injured ; there were some dark
appearances about the lungs, such as are usual with
persons who are in a declining state of health, and
a mark upon the side, which must have originated
from some standing affection.
Mr. Charles Hyde, of Mole-place, Lambeth, or.
goon, said, he found the body perfectly healthy,and
was of the opinion Mr. Cook had before stated.
The Coroner said, the object was to ascertain the
real cause of death.
Mr. Cook being rather diffident in stating his opi-
nion, Mr. Hyde replied, that he believed tie report
of Mr. Cook to be perfectly accurate; that the injury
before mentioned was produced by a violent blow,
and in his opinion was the cause of death. All
injury received by the head will affect the stomach,
and from all reports made to him, that was the case
with the deceased—therefore he thought the opinion
that had been given was conclusive.
The Coroner, in his charge to the Jury, •observe,d,
that all the witnesses agreed that the deceased had
nct returned a blow during the scuffle. Had he
given a blow it would cot justify her, but it would
be an amelioration of the offence. He then pointed
out the law upon the case, in which he described,
that when an attack is trade without legal provoca-
tion
(self-defence) the person is guilty of murder.—
Verdict, WitiUl Murder against " infamous Jane."—
The Coroner issued his warrant for her committal.

Tows HALL, SOUTHWARK.—Another Outrage in
Dovcr-street.—Yesterday Ann Jones and Sarah Mill-
ward, two women of the town, were brought before
Sir Jolts BMW, charged by a respectable-looking
man, in the employ of Dr. Rattey, London-road, with
a capital offence, in extorting Ss. 6d. from him under
a threat that they would take away his life. It ap-
peared from the prosecutor's evidence, that on Wed-
nesday, about three o'clock, (soon after the murder
of the pieman) he was in Dover-street, collecting
money tor Dr. Rattey, when he was accosted by one
of those females with which the place is infested,
who said she had a particular communication to
make, and intreated him to enter the house with her
till she disclosed it to him. She had a certain pensive
air about her, which the prosecutor construed into
symptoms of penitence, and thinking that the pro-
mised disclosure would lead to the discovery of some
robbery or long-hidden murder, he immediately en-
tered the house with her ; but finding that her object
was merely to decoy him in, he gave her a hasty ad-
monition, and went towards the door for the purpose
of going out. The door, however, was bolted, and
the prisoners and a number of others, were in the
passage, and refused to let him out till he gave them
money. At -first he refused, but finding it useless to
contend, gave them two shillings. They swore this
would not do, that they must have more, or his life ;
and the two prisoners set about kicking and beating
him, whilst several of the others ran for pokers and
sticks; a little boy also came into the passage, and,
unawares, picked the prosecutor's pocket of a silk
'handkerchief and a silver snuff-box. Prosecutor
finding himself in such a dangerous predicament,
gave them lc 6d. more, and then he was suffered to
depart. 'lnformation of the robbery was subsequently'
given to one Of the constables of the Bridge-house
Estates, who apprehended both the prisoners. The
latter insinuated that the money was given for ano-
rther purpose, which the prosecutor on his oath denied
to be the case. The parents of the prisoner Millward,
told the Alderman thatshe had run away from them
a few weeks back, anti had since been harboured by
those wretches. Previous to her misconduct she was
a good honest girl, and much respected.—The-At-
derman sincerely pitied the feelings of these poor
people, but he felt bound to commit the girls for ano-
ther examination. They were both remanded.
SnocKinct Ammer/T.—Monday, the 16th instant,
about five-o'clock in the afternoon, as the workmen
employed in erecting the large bridge of one arch
over the River Derwent, on the line of the Sheffield
and Glossop Read, near Cocks-bridge, were proceed-
ing ;o lay the key-stones therein, the frame-work
under the arch giving way, fell with a tremendous
Gnash into the River, precipitating ten unfortunate
men and four females, who were standing on it as'
fpectators, in its ruins. By the prompt exertions of
a number of workmen who were engaged in the vici-
nity, who instantly repaired thither, the wretched
sufferers were all speedily extricated, excepting two
men, who stood beneath it as it fell, and were in all'
probability killed instantaneously, as their bodies.
when found on the following morning, were dread-1
&Hy mangled. Of those Who were removed imme-
diately, two men were already lifeless ; two others
survived, in the most e=el-miming agony, but a few
hones ; and the remaining four men and females were
so serality. bruised, that their recovery is uncertain.
