CORONER'S INQUEST.—Saturday night an Inquest.
was held at the Constitution public-house, in Prin-
ces-street, Drury-lane, on the body of a young mar-
ried Lady, named Greene, who came to her death
under circumstances of a most distressing nature.—
Thursday morning the deceased and her husband left
their residence in Old-street-road, where they kept a
splendid establishment, to dine with Mr. Harrison, of
Bedford-square. Having arrived considerably before
the dinner hour, they dismissed the carriage, and set
out for the purpose ofgoing to the Exhibition of Pictures
at Somerset !louse, and walk leisurely back to dinner.
ICl.ien about the middle of Princes-street, the deceased,
who had been in high spirits, complained of sudden
illness, and Mr. Greene, with the tenderest solicitude
for her safety, proposed going into a shop till-she
was better. However, her illness increased so much,
that it was at length found necessary to send for a
Medical Gentleman ; but before his arrival, which
was not more than 'five minutes, she was a corpse ! '
The situation of Mr. Greene was not to be described.
He gave the address of his mother, a Lady of for-
tune in Lamb's Conduit-street, who, on hearing the
afflicting intelligence, immediately sent her carriage
to fetch her now miserable son home; but in the
interval he had been att:tcked with strong hysterics,
and it required the exertions of several people to
lift him into the vehicle. He was married to the de-
ceased about sit months ago. and was p..f .icularly at-
tached to her, which attachment, indeed, was mutual.
The above circumstances were proved by a number
of ssitnesses, and the Jury immediately returned a
verdict of—Died ty Me l'''ie station pi tine.
