quantity'of lead. Inspector Anders stated that he saw
the prisoner go into Patrick Connor 's marine-store, in
Scotland-road, and, while there, produce a large piece of
lead from beneath his clothes and offer it for sa!e. He
was taken into custody, and about 1151bs of the same de-
scription of material was found at his house, all melted
down, evidently from she,-t
-lead. At Connor's store nine
pawn-tickets for carpet-bags, four for pistols, four for
looking-glasses, and several for other descriptions of pro-
perty were found. The carpet-bags were stolen from
shops in Church-street. Connor was ordered to be im-
prisoned for two months and kept to hard labour; and
Mr. Rushton directed his license as a marine-store dealer
to he revoked. Headley was sentenced to imprisonment

INQUESTS.—On Wednesday two inquests were held
before the borough coroner. The first wt. s on Ann Ro-
binson, a servant to Mr. G. W. Meyer, of Falkland-
street, who died of inflammation ; and the second was on
Georgiana Kissick, of Naylor-street, a child fourteen
months old, who was accidentally scalded on the chest
whilst passing a pot of boiling water.—On Thursday
morning, Mary Ann Stockley, a child ten months old,
was found dead in bed. She had been well the previous
evening. The cause of death was bronchitis.--On Satur-
day three inquests were held. The first was on view of
the body of Ellen Ryan, a young woman who had come
over from Dublin for the benefit of her health, and was
stopping with her sister, in Waterloo-road. She com-
plained of a pain in her chest and across her shoulders,
and died, in an awfully sudden manner, on Thursday last.
Upon a post mortem examination, it appeared that the
cause of death was pulmonary apoplexy, arising from
dropsy of the pericardium, the result of natural causes.
The second was on Joseph Harper Murphy, the infant
son of. Mr. J. M. Murphy, stationer, Sidney-street East.
He was placed in bed between his father end mother, on
Thursday night, and was found dead in the morning.
The third was on John Bodden, of Dance-street, a child
thirteen weeks old, who died suddenly, in his cradle, of
convulsions. Verdicts in accordance with the evidence
were returned in the several cases.

NEGLIGENT DRIVING.—In the Court of Passage last
week, Mr. Robert Hill, car-proprietor, sought compensa-
tion from Mr. Frederick Birchall, joiner, for damage done
to a car. - It appeared, that, on the 13th of October, the
plaintiff was proceeding up Pembroke-place, with his car,
at which time, the defendant, with a phmton, was coming
in an opposite direction at a furious rate. The plaintif
endeavoured to get out of the way by going to the right
side, but was unable to do so, and the vehicles came into
violent contact near Elizabeth-sln'et. The car was upset
and very much damaged, and the plaintiff, being thrown
off the box, received considerible injury, from which he
did not recover for some time. He was attended for eight
weeks by the medical gentlemen, and suffered great pain,
two cf his t ibs being broken. The cost of repairing the
car was £5, and its value was reduced about £2O. The
defendant's horse died immediately after the accident.
For the defendant, it was contended that be had done all
he could to restrain the horse, which started off and be-
came unmanageable, and that if the plaintiff had kept his
proper Bile, the accident would not have occurred. The
learned Assessor said, the question would be, whether the
unfortunate circumstances that took place were the result
of inevitable accident : if so, the defendant would not be
liable. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages, £4O.
