Deputy yesterday held inquests, as follow First
Mrs Catherine Wehner, q French woman, found
dead at No. SO Viller6, street; verdict, apoplexy.

P. Bee, said slave falling and dying suddenly, on
Ursulnes street, on Sunday night verdict died of

thirteen days old verdict, died of loekjaw, under
treatment of an ignorant midwife, who told the
mother it would be useless to send for a doctor,

Deputy Coroner Soraparu went over to Algiers,
to hold an inquest on the body of A. l.. Rice,
q painter, who, on Saturday, whilst painting q
vessel in the Pelican Dry Dock, fell and received
injuries from which he died. The Deputy Coroner
did not finish this inquest, for the reason that he
had not the attendance of the necessary Witnesses
But he did one excellent thing before he came
back on the ferry boat. a fellow named Lawrence
Lawson, the landlord of the boarding house in
which Rice had boarded, had taken possession of
the dead mans vaiuables, consisting of gold
watch and chain, sleeve buttons, shirtstuds, six
dollars in cash, and other trifes. Forgetting that
Algiers was included within the limits of Orleans
parish, he refused to account to Mr.. Soraparu for
| the valuables he had stolen from the body and
| baggage of his dead boarder.
| Mr.. Soraparu went to Judge Fortier, made his
affidavit of the facts, and had warrant issued for
the arrest of the dirty rascal who is believed by the
| innocent and the stupid to be a man and a white
man. but who, somewhat like an llbegotten TOM
cat, will mutate the corpse and eat off the face o
the man who whilst alive petted him most.
The inquest into the death of Rice, owing to the
piratical obstacles offered by the lawless Lawson
will not take place until some time today.
