FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT,

; An inquest was held yesterday, before r. Curry, the
borough coroner, and a respectable jury,M on view of the
• body of Elizabeth Simpson, an aged female, who died in
the Infirmary on Thursday last, from the effects of inju-
ries sustained in consequence of being knocked down, and
the wheels of a vehicle passing over her body, on the pre-
vious Sunday. .From the evidence of several witnesses,
it appeared that on the Sunday in question, about the
time persons were leaving church, the deceased, who was
nearly seventy years old, was crossing Seymour-street at
its junction with London-road, and that while in the act
she was knocked down by a phaeton, driven by Mr. Pem-
berton, the solicitor, who was returning from church.
The casualty occurred just at the turn of the corner from
Seymour-street to London-road, the carriage being driven
from the former into the latter road.
A car-driver, named Thomas Youngas, who witnessed
the accident, considered that Mr. Pemberton was driving
at a speed more rapid than prudence should have dictated
under the circumstances. He thought that the vehicle
was proceeding at a rate of ten or eleven miles an hour.
They (car-drivers) generally drove in the town at the rate
of five or six miles an hour.
A witness named Maylor, who was crossing the road at
the time, a little in the rear of the deceased, stated that he
heard a shout," but did not know from whom it pro-
ceeded. Deceased appeared quite stunned and in a
crouching position, ran her head against the shaft of the
vehicle, and was consequently thrown beneath the wheels,
which passed over her. This witness continued in explan-
ation, that when the woman ran against the vehicle she
was only about a foot frcm it ; he therefore should describe
her movements as " bobbing" against the carriage. Mr.
Pemberton, he said, did not " draw up" until the horse
had got to a distance of fifty yards, but when he (witness)
looked to Mr. Pemberton he was in the act of drawing up.
In taking the evidence of Mr. C. B. Wilson, the house
surgeon of the infirmary, (who with two pupils was prss-
ing at the time of the accident,) the coroner observed that
there had been some little difficulty in obtaining
brandy in order to be administered to the woman,
in consequence of the parties who were applied to having
refused to furnish it without the money. He (the coro-
ner) thought no publican who had been apprised of the
circumstances of the case would have made such an ob- t
jection.

Mr. Wilson spoke to the fact of the woman bleeding
at the nose when taken up; she was conveyed to the In-
firmary as soon as possible, Mr. Pemberton having pre-
viously despatched his own medical attendant to the scene
of the catastrophe. He had also seen Mr. Wilson subse-
quently, and had directed that nothing should be denied
her that might conduce to her comfort ; the woman,
however, after rallying a little, relapsed, and expired on
Thursiay. The result of a post mortem examination was
that death had been caused by a fracture of the skull on
the left side, and proceedingidown to the base.
John Newsham, a car driver, witnessed the occurrence
from the stand in London-road. The carriage was on
the wrong side of the road, and in his (witness's) opinion
Mr. Pemberton was to blame ; the speed at which he was
going was too great. He admitted that Mr. Pemberton
did all that humanity could suggest after the melancholy
occurrence.

Deceased's brother stated that she was subject occasion-
ally to attacks of deafness, and that her sight, in conse-
quence of increasing years, was impaired.
Mr. Atkinson, who appeared professionally for Mr. Pem-
berton,after evidence had been heard in support of the case,
appealed to the coroner as to whether any case had been
made out to institute an inquiry .on the part of the jury,
inasmuch as it was held that, in order to make out a
charge of manslaughter, it must be shewn that by reason
of his " gross negligence the driver had lost command of
his horses, and that depended on whether the horses were
unruly," &c. He called Mr. Pemberton's servant man,
who was on the box at the time the accident took place,
to shew that it was unavoidable.
After the Learned Counsel had addressed the court for
the defendant, the jury retired to consider their verdict.
After a lapse of about a couple of hours, they returned
into court ; but, in consequence of some informality in
the framing of the verdict, they retired a second time.
When they re-entered the court, the foreman delivered a
verdict of " guilty of manslaughter" against Mr. Pem-
berton.

Mr. Atkinson immediately stated his purpose of apply.
ing for a copy of the depositions.
The Coroner suggested as to whether the learned coun-
sel would take advantage of the judges being in town.
Mr. Atkinson replied in the affirmative, and expressed
his satisfaction that some arrangement might thus be
come to which would avert the necessity of a journey to
London.

The Coroner expressed his readiness to take Mr. At-
kinson's word as to the surrender of his client on the fol-
lowing (this) morning. He further intimated that he
would delay returning the inquisition until the afternoon
of the same day, in order to afford facilities for bringing
the particulars before the judge.
