An inquest was held yesterday before Thos. Stirling,
Esq., Coroner, at the Dublin Castle, Park-street, Cam-
den-town, on viewof the body of John Humphries, whose
death was occasioned in consequence of taking oil of vi-
triol in a mistake for medicine. Mrs. Elizabeth Lunn,
landlady of the Dublin Castle, stated she has known de-
cease(' 20 years; he formerly lived with Sir James fang-
ham, as coachman ; a few evening since deceased was in
witness's house, he partook of some porter and went
home about right o'clock. The next morning deceased's
wife came running into the house in a most distressed
state, entreating the witness, for GOD'S sake, to come to
her husband. She went in consequence, and found de-
ceased io bed ; upon inquiring of him what he had ta-
ken, he said, nothing bat a black draught. His wife
also informed witness he had been in the h shit of taking
salts and senna for a number of years. Witness was ap-
prehensive he had taken something by mistake for the
black draught, and asked deceased if he had done so de-
signedly. lie replied, " No, my dear girl, I have not."
Witness then took the bottle from the mantle-shelf, and
on smelling found it was vitriol. She therefore immedi-
ately seat tor Dr. Blackstone, who came and brought
medicine proper for a man who had taken vitriol, but
they could gernone down his throat. Dr. Blackstone
said there was no passage. Deceased was then sensible,
and said he bad taken it by mistake, but lie had no in-
tention of taking any thing to prejudice himself. The
Coroner lirieflv addressed the Jury, observing there
could be no doubt the deceased died iu consequence of
taking oil of vitriol by mistake for the dr.olght; and they
returned their verdict accordingly.

Suirtoe.—On Tuesday night, an inquest was held at the
White Hart public-house, Milbank-street, before Mr. Gell,
Coroner dor Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth
Rower. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased
had lost a ►ill for 1,0001. about the beginning of this month,
which circumstance greatly oppressed her spirits, and she
absconded from her husband's house, who is a clod.-maker
at Shadwell. He used all the means in his power to trace
her out, but without avail ; until Tuesday morning, one of
the waterinen at Westminster was going dowu the river in
his boat, and found the body floating at Millar's Wharf,
&Wheat. The report reached the deceased's husband, and
he came to the bone-house, St. John's, where the body was
removed to, .and be recognized it. Re hltl no doubt but
ttfe deceased had drowned herself. Verdict—Lunacy.
