I have really missed the lists over the last week or so, and I am glad that the Rootsweb site appears to be up and running again. However, so far my messages to the lists have been bouncing back as undeliverable. I shall keep trying... I have continued to post transcriptions on the Googlies list and the Cumbria FHS Forum so there is some catching up to do on Rootsweb and you will receive a bumper lot! I think I will space it out a little bit so as to not overload the system... Enjoy! Petra

It seems that the Rootsweb servers are back online as I've just emails from another list, so I'll try sending my thanks again. Many thanks Petra for another Sutton I had the connection previously from the Brooker pedigrees, but not the date or place.

Saturday 13 Sep 1845 (p. 3, col. 3) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, County Coroner.) On the 8th instant, at Thomas' Close, in the parish of Hutton, on the body of Mr. Thomas SANDERSON, yeoman, aged 62 years, who on the Saturday preceding was found dead in a garden behind his house. Deceased's son and daughter-in-law resided with him, but on the morning of his death were both absent. Deceased arose from his bed about ten o'clock, in his usual health, and had made no complaint to a neighbour, who prepared his breakfast, and was in the house until mid-day. About half-past four in the afternoon, deceased was found in his garden quite dead, without any marks of violence or injury upon him.-Verdict-"Apoplexy." On the 19th instant, at Haltcliffe, Caldbeck, on the body of Thomas WILLIAMSON, husbandman, aged 39 years. Deceased had left home on the morning of Sunday week to go to Raughton Head, to receive pay for a lot of sheep which he had sold. On his return, in the evening, he had called at several houses, and lastly, at a public-house, at Millhouse, two miles from his residence, between eleven and twelve o'clock, being then much intoxicated. He was afterwards seen by a boy, when the horse was going quietly, at a walking pace. His horse having returned next morning without its rider, deceased's brother went in search of him, and found him lying on the road near Millfield, in a state of insensibility. His watch and about twenty or thirty shillings of money were found upon him, and there were no appearances to excite any suspicions that he had been ill-treated by any person, nor that his horse, which was a quiet one, had dragged him. It was afterwards ascertained that he had not received any money at Raughton Head. He had received a lacerated wound on the back part of his head, a severe contusion on the forehead, and other injuries. He lingered until the 8th instant, when he died. The jury, being of opinion that he had accidentally fallen from his horse, returned a verdict accordingly. An inquest was held at Bowness, on Thursday, on the body of Margaret RITSON, widow, aged 74 years, who was found dead in bed on Wednesday morning. Deceased had been on a visit at Cardurnock, and returned home on Tuesday evening. She appeared at that time to be in her usual health. On the following forenoon, the neighbours not seeing her astir became alarmed and broke open her door, when she was found as before stated. Verdict-"Natural Death." (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) At Moorside, in the parish of Irthington, on the 5th instant, on the body of Jane LITTLE, aged 26 years, daughter of Thomas LITTLE. On the previous day deceased left the house for the purpose of procuring and washing some potatoes for dinner. She had been absent for about a quarter of an hour, when her sister went out to search for her, and found her lying with her face in a ditch near the house, quite dead. The water in the ditch was about two inches deep. Deceased had for many years been subject to fits. Verdict-"Accidentally drowned whilst in a fit." On the same day, at Rigg Foot, in the parish of Farlam, on the body of William TWEDDLE, aged 37 years. On the morning of that day deceased was at work in Midgeholme coal pit, as a hewer, when a large stone, weighing nearly two tons, fell upon him, from the roof of the pit, and killed him upon the spot. Verdict-"Accidental death." On the 8th instant, at Dashwell Green, in the parish of Arthuret, on the body of David BAXTER, farmer there. Dedeased [sic] had for some time been ailing, and complained of palpitation of the heart. On the 6th instant he was in Longtown, and after answering the enquiries of a friend respecting the state of his health, he suddenly fell to the ground and instantly died. Verdict-"Accidental death." On the 9th instant, at Brampton, on the body of John RIDLEY, of that place, nailor. He was carrying upon his back a bag of coals, and he turned to rest himself against the wall, when he fell to the ground and instantly expired. Verdict-"Natural death." On the 11th instant, at Sceughdyke, in the parish of Hesket-in-the-Forest, on the body of Thomas GRAHAM, aged 18. Deceased was employed upon the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, now in course of formation at Winderbog, in the said parish. His duty was to attend to and disload the waggons at the end of the embankment. He and another young man, his fellow workman, having disloaded one set of waggons, agreed to go back with them, and return with the full ones for a ride. When they met the loaded waggons, deceased seized hold of one of them, while it was in motion, and ran a short distance. On his attempting to get upon it, his foot slipped, and he fell in between the waggons. Seven wheels went over his body, and killed him upon the spot. He was dreadfully mangled. Verdict-"Accidental death." On the same day at Penrith, on the body of Joseph KIDD, aged 43. On Tuesday last, deceased was also employed upon the same line of railway as waggon driver, at Skirsgill cutting. Upon this part of the railway there is a very steep incline, upon which there are two lines of road, one for conveying the empty waggons up, and the other for the loaded waggons which have hitherto been allowed to descend the incline without a breaksman. Deceased was in the act of conducting up the line a set of empty waggons, drawn by two horses, and the leading horse suddenly swerved upon the other line; he ran forward and attempted to turn it, when, at the instant the loaded waggons, which were descending the line with great velocity, came upon him and knocked him down. He fell upon one of the rails, and eight of the waggons went over him. His leg was completely separated above the knee, his back dreadfully lacerated, and generally he was much crushed and bruised. He lingered for four hours, and then died. Verdict-" Accidental death." It appeared that the incline crosses the Keswick and Penrith Road and that a short time back four individuals had a very narrow escape from being crushed to pieces by a train of loaded waggons coming down whilst they were about to cross. On the day when the present accident occurred, the contractors had been admonished thereupon by the magistrates, but it did not appear that there had been sufficient time to remedy the evil. The jury expressed an unanimous opinion "that it was quite improper to send waggons down the incline without a breaksman." The Coroner intimated that after the caution given by the magistrates, and after the present expression of opinion by the jury, the contractors would be criminally responsible for any accident which might happen by reason of similar negligence. (Before W. BRAGG, Esq., Coroner.) On Thursday morning week, a labourer, whilst engaged with the engineer, in laying iron plates on the top of one of the new blast furnaces at the Hematite Iron Works, Cleator Moor, stepped backwards on the edge of the building and fell to the ground, a height of 40 feet. He struck on a flue in his descent, by which some ribs were fractured, and he was otherwise severely injured. Medical aid was speedily procured; but notwithstanding every attention he survived only until evening. An inquest was held on the body on the same day, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." (Before W. LUMB, jun., Esq., Coroner.) At Great Broughton, near Cockermouth, on the 25th ultimo, on view of the body of William SKELTON, aged six years, who came by his death in consequence of falling into the river Derwent. While in the act of endeavouring to ascertain the depth of the said river with a stick, he accidentally fell over, and was drowned. Verdict-"Drowned." At Preston Quarter Workhouse, on the 27th ult., an inquest was held on view of the body of a man who was found amongst the rocks on the shore near Saltom Bay. Deceased exhibited no mark of violence on his person, and was supposed to be one of the crew of the schooner "John and Mary," which sunk near the above place. Verdict-"Found Drowned."

DEATH OF THOMAS ASHTON, ESQ.—With sincere regret we have to announce the death of Thomas ASHTON, Esq., of Hyde, widely known and respected as a merchant and manufacturer; warmly admired and fondly loved by a wide circle of acquaintance for his amiable disposition, his energetic talent, and his untiring beneficence. Mr. ASHTON possessed, in a remarkable degree, those qualities of mind which characterise the inhabitants of Lancashire: his head was clear, and his heart was warm. By the force of native talent, industry, and integrity he raised himself from a comparatively humble position to the possession of great wealth; by his enlightened philanthropy and judicious management, he rendered this wealth a source of comfort and happiness to all around him. The comforts of the operatives he employed were as dear to him as his own; he successfully laboured to train his work-people in the habits of order, industry, and strict morality; and he rendered Hyde a model of comfort, of neatness, and of social happiness.

Saturday 06 Sep 1845 (p. 3, col. 2) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, County Coroner.) MANSLAUGHTER. At St. Mary's Workhouse, on Saturday, last on the body of Sarah ROSS, a widow, aged 76, who resided for a considerable period with her sisters, Mary and Ann SCHOLLICK (respectively aged 80 and 70 years) in a small cottage at Carlton, near this city-all were of feeble intellect, Mary, apparently, possessing the strongest mind of the three. It appears that they occasionally disagreed, but up to Wednesday, the 20th ult., no apprehensions were entertained by the neighbours, that the quarrels would end in anything serious. On the above morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, Ann ran into a neighbour's house (Mr. BLAYLOCK's) and said that Mally had knocked Sarah down. Mr. BLAYLOCK, Ruth THOMPSON, and another, ran to her assistance, and found deceased in a fainting state, her right arm broken, and slightly wounded near the wrist, from which wound blood was flowing, and her forehead swollen. Deceased was put to bed, and Mr. RAILTON having been informed of the circumatance [sic], requested that Mr. BOWMAN, the surgeon for St. Cuthbert's district, should be sent for, who immediately visited her, reduced her fracture, and recommended her removal to the workhouse on the following day, which was accordingly done. Dr. JAMES then took charge of her, and up to Tuesday night, she appeared to be going on favourably, when symptoms of exhaustion first presented themselves, and which continued to increase until her death on Tuesday, the 28th ult. At the request of the Coroner, a post mortem examination of the body was made by Dr. JAMES and Mr. BOWMAN, the result of which was given in evidence. The Jury, after hearing the evidence of deceased's neighbours, as to the mannner [sic] in which the injury was inflicted (all deposing to the statement of deceased, that she was pushed down by Mary, and had her arm broke in consequence) and of the medical men, as to the cause of death, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Mary SCHOLLICK. At Brayton Hall, before the same coroner, on the body of Elizabeth the daughter of John BELL, coachman to Sir Wilfrid LAWSON, Bart., aged seventeen months. Deceased, during the momentary absence of her mother from the wash-house, fell head foremost into a tub of cold water, where she was found by her agonised mother apparently quite dead. The child was placed before the fire and her body rubbed freely with flannels: in a short time she showed signs of returning animation, and in the course of the afternoon appeared to be rapidly recovering from the effects, although she had much difficulty in her breathing. Mr. ELLIOT, of Aspatria, attended and applied the usual remedies, and entertained hopes of her ultimate recovery. In the course of Tuesday night feverish symptoms showed themselves and increased to such an extent as to cause her death on Wednesday evening. Verdict-"Inflammation, produced by accidental suffocation." (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) On the 2nd September instant, on the body of William TELFORD, aged 74 years. Deceased was a travelling tea dealer, residing alone, in a cottage at Kinkery Hill. On the Wednesday preceding his death he became unwell, and gradually became worse until the following Saturday, when he was confined to bed. On that day in attempting to get out of bed he became sick and had fallen against the fire and burned his arm very severely. He was found by a neighbour lying on the floor, in a helpless state, and lingered until the following day, when he died. The jury were of opinion that the shock his system had received by the fall, and burning had accelerated his death, and returned a verdict accordingly. At Alston, on the 3rd instant, on the body of John HALDEN, shoemaker, aged 47 years. On the Sunday preceding his death, deceased had been drinking, and about one o'clock on Monday morning was assisted to his house, which was approached by outside stone stairs. The person who assisted him home, left him on the landing of the stairs at his own door, deceased having declined further assistance. About half-past three o'clock of the same morning, he was found lying at the foot of the stairs with a severe wound upon his head and unable to speak. Deceased shortly afterwards became sensible, but could give no account how the accident happened. Medical assistance was procured, and on examination deceased was found to have likewise sustained severe spinal injury. The jury were of opinion that deceased had sat down upon the parapet of the stairs, fallen asleep, and tumbled over. Verdict-"Accidental death." (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. At the King's Arms inn, Shap, on Friday week, on the body of William MAGEE, a labourer employed on the Lancaster and Carlisle line of Railway, who had been so severely crushed by the falling of a crane upon him on the Wednesday previous, whilst assisting in removing it that he died the same evening. The particulars of the accident are best explained by the following evidence:-John DANGERFIELD, a ganger at Shap deposed, that on Wednesday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, deceased was employed along with three other labourers in removing a crane, in the cutting immediately behind Shap. The crane had been placed on a waggon, and had been removed upwards of 20 yards before the accident happened. The men employed at the waggon pushed it forward along the rails, and the top of the crane was balanced by three ropes called guys, placed in a triangular position. There was one person at the end of each rope so as to keep the crane properly balanced on the waggon: the ropes varied from 60 to 100 feet in length. The weight of the crane might be 15 or 16 cwts. Sometimes as many as three men are employed at the end of the guy ropes. Witness observed the crane fall upon deceased, who was attempting to make his escape as it was falling. Witness ran with others and assisted removing it from off deceased. He was quite insensible. His skull was fractured at the back of the head, his right cheek injured, and his right leg broken, and appeared to be otherwise damaged down on his right side. He died at 12 o'clock the same night. Witness had no doubt but that the crane fell purely accidentally. After the waggon had been moved forward either the front guy rope had not been tightened in due time, or the hind rope had not been properly slackened, the crane had consequently been pulled over by the tightness of the hind rope. Witness thought that one man at the end of each rope was sufficient for removing the crane safely at the time the accident happened. Verdict.-"Accidental Death." SUICIDE AT APPLEBY. At the Shire Hall, Appleby, Westmoreland, on Saturday, the 30th ult., on the body of James MILNER, aged 63, who committed suicide the previous day by cutting his throat. Deceased formerly lived at Kirkby Stephen, and came to reside at Appleby about seven years ago. He followed the occupation of a schoolmaster, and was considered to possess a good knowledge of mathematics and the other branches of an English education. For the most part he had a good school, and paid every attention to his pupils. He was a person of a cheerful temper, with a great flow of spirits, and was rather of late addicted to intoxicating liquors. About last Christmas his bodily health became impaired, since which he had been inflicted with a weakening of the nervous system, and could never rouse his spirits into activity. Latterly he grew more and more melancholy, rambling and talking incoherently. During lucid intervals he would intimate to his family and friends that he was afraid his weakness of mind would at some time overcome his self-possession and he would be harming himself or some one about him. Towards the last he entirely gave himself up to despondency, and grew gradually worse. About a fortnight previous to the melancholy occurrence a person was engaged to attend upon him. This person-John ION-was the principal witness examined by the Coroner; he stated that deceased was occasionally wild and difficult to retain from doing himself and others a mischief; on one day he tore off his neckerchief and squeezed his throat with such violence that his face was black in consequence; at another time he seized an axe, and threatened to strike witness if he came near him; and on a third occasion he took up a spoon and drew it across his throat, apparently with the intention of destroying himself. These alarming circumstances naturally caused every precaution to be observed-knives, razors, &c., were all removed out of his reach; indeed deceased had recommended this to be done. On Friday morning he got up as usual, about seven o'clock, and was assisted by his attendant; he seemed a little more composed than usual, and ION having occasion to go out for a few moments, left him walking about the bed room. He had not been absent more than four or five minutes, when deceased was heard to fall with a great force upon the floor. Mrs. MILNER, deceased's wife, went up stairs alone, and upon seeing what had happened, called out for assistance. Deceased was laying on his back upon the floor, in a pool of blood, with his head nearly severed from his body, the wind pipe being cut quite through, and the instrument having penetrated to the bone. He was only observed to breathe once. Near his left hand was found a small breakfast knife covered with blood, and which is supposed the unhappy man had had secreted with an intention of accomplishing his purpose the first opportunity. The wound was of such a nature that he had apparently used both hands successively, and it is supposed when he did the deed that he was standing or kneeling on the bed, as the clothes were bloody, and he had afterwards fallen back on the floor. The Coroner, in summing up, directed the jury, in case they considered deceased in a sound state of mind when he committed the act, to find a verdict of felo-de-se, but if not, then their verdict should be accordingly. The jury found, "That deceased cut his throat while labouring under insanity."

Saturday 06 Sep 1845 (p. 2, col. 5) FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, the 30th ult., a poor Irishman had the misfortune to have his leg fractured by the rush of some earth on the Branch Railway now in the course of formation in the parish of Plumbland. As the other workmen were removing the poor fellow on a board to Aspatria, he remarked with the greatest nonchalance, "Well, well, I never expected to live to see my own funeral." RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—We are sorry to observe that the accidents upon the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line have been more numerous of late than towards the commencement of the undertaking. On Thursday week, a frightful accident occurred at the large cutting through Shap Fell. The circumstances under which this accident happened are of an extremely terrible character. It appears that a portion of the rock had been charged with gunpowder for the purpose of tearing it up, when, from some cause or other the charge would not explode, and two of the workmen commenced drilling the stone to draw out the powder. In doing this they had unfortunately neglected to pour into the hole a sufficient quantity of water to keep the stone moist, and the consequence was that the "jumper" became heated by the friction, and ignited the powder. One of the poor fellows was blown into the air a height of 30 or 40 feet and came down upon a heap of stones, after which he rolled over into a gully 12 feet deep, and the other by the force of the blast was driven to a considerable distance. The unfortunate men did not exhibit any signs of life until medical assistance had been obtained, when they partly revived on restorative means being resorted to. The workman who was thrown to such an awful height is lacerated in the lower part of the abdomen in a shocking manner, and the other is likewise dreadfully mutilated on the breast and abdomen. We have not been able to learn their names, but we understand they are from distant counties. At first there appeared little chance of their recovery, but we are happy to add that they are both now out of danger. THE JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The last of the sufferers from this unhappy occurrence was recovered from the Low Main Seam on Friday week. The deceased, whose name is BAIRD, was found in the engine-pit covered with stones, but not much injured. James ADAMS, one of the miners who was rescued from the Bensham Seam, and whose recovery was, from the beginning, considered doubtful, lingered till Thursday afternoon week, when he expired. Both were interred in Jarrow Church-yard on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators. CRANSTON, who was recovered from the Low Main, after being immured for thirty-six hours, continues going on favourably. He remembers scarcely anything of the accident. On Sunday, suitable sermons for the occasion were preached in the Scotch Chapel at Jarrow, and the sum of £7 collected for the families of the sufferers. This amount will be better appreciated when we state that the congregation, besides being small, is altogether composed of the working classes, and never, on any previous collection, mustered more than a few shillings. A small number of the gentlemen of the district, it will be observed, opened the subscription list on Monday, by the handsome sum of nearly £300. The owner of this colliery, we believe, has determined, by the advice of his viewer, Mr. T. W. JOBLING, to work that pit for the future exclusively with Davy Lamps, in order, if possible, to prevent a recurrence of accidents similar to the late melancholy catastrophe.

During the past week, a female, named CARLTON, residing in the city of York, was single, married, and a widow, all within the space of three days. At Thenezay, Deux Sevres, a short time ago, Marie MALLET, a milliner, died in the 116th year of her age. Upwards of one hundred young women, dressed in white, followed her remains to the grave: and chaplets were thrown upon the coffin by the bystanders, before it was covered over with earth.

On the 13th inst., a native of England, who had passed under the designation of "Sir Charles DOUGLAS," and also under other designations, died id [sic] Paris, aged about 50. The deceased was understood to be the natural son of an earl, high in office in the household of George the Third, and was married to a very handsome woman; who, however, afterwards went to live with a military officer. Sir Charles subsequently courted a widow, and a marriage was arranged, but never took place. In fact, the courtship had no other object than to keep her from presenting "her little bill;" for the widow was the lover's landlady! Deceased had an annuity of £150, but could not keep out of debt. Well! Sir Charles died on the day above-named, and was then discovered to be a woman!

Saturday 30 Aug 1845 (p. 4, col. 4) FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT JARROW, NEAR SOUTH SHIELDS.- Another of those calamitous colliery explosions, for which the North of England is notorious, has occurred in this district, hurling two-score pitmen to instant death. It was about half-past one o'clock on Thursday afternoon, when a tremendous report, accompanied by a shower of coals, was heard at BROWN's Wallsend pit, Jarrow, near the mouth of the Tyne, in the county of Durham. Then followed a loud and awful roaring noise, created by the rush of air into the pit, to supply tho [sic] vacuum occasioned by the explosion. A second explosion, of much greater violence than the first, now ensued, threatening destruction to the whole of the standing gear of the colliery. The men of the "bank," and all within hearing, were terror-stricken by the deafening noise. Mr. Thomas JOPLING, the viewer, and Mr. Jacob DEFTY, overman, descended the pit as soon as was practicable, to ascertain the fate of the men below, and, assisted by several of their subordinates, and Mr. DEFTY's son, they rescued forty-eight from the Bensham seam, and also brought up three who had perished. These are all who have perished in the Bensham seam. Of those in the Low Main seam we have yet to speak. Mr. DEFTY twice came to the surface, in a state of great exhaustion. He was warned to be cautious how he periled his own life, but he persisted in once more going down on his errand of humanity, in company with his son. The father was afterwards brought up dead! He had missed his way, it is supposed, in the workings, and got too far. His son, who was also brought up, seemed, at first, little affected by what he had undergone in the foul atmosphere of the mine; but he had hardly walked a few yards in the upper air, before he fell down in strong convulsions, and five men could with difficulty hold him. Subsequently, however, he recovered. The death of Mr. DEFTY, senior, is much deplored. He was forty-six years of age. His hapless widow lost her first husband in the same pit; and one of her sons by the former marriage, there is now reason to believe, has fallen a victim to the present explosion. It is in the Low Main (not the Bensham) seam, that the pit is believed to have fired; and there were from thirty-six to forty men and boys working therein, none of whom are likely to be saved.-Gateshead Observer.-An inquest has been held on the bodies, and the jury have returned the following verdict:-"We have considered the evidence brought before us, touching the death of James STEWARD and others, and we find that they came to their death by after-damp, caused by a fire in Jarrow pit, on the 21st inst., but where or from what cause it originated we are not able to show, and our verdict is Accidental death."

Saturday 30 Aug 1845 (p. 2, col. 7-8) FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-As the train which left Carlisle for Newcastle on Wednesday morning, at five o'clock, was nearing Hexham Station, about a quarter-past seven, an old woman, after having hung out some clothes to dry on the hedge, was observed to walk leisurely on to the line and gaze for some time at the train coming towards her, and then attempt to cross the rails, when the lamp in front of the engine knocked her down, and she was literally crushed to atoms. We understand she was a stranger in that neighbourhood, having gone there very recently to reside. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-We regret to learn that an accident, resulting fatally, occurred on Tuesday night, on the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, the particulars of which, as far as we can gather, are as follows:-When the train, which left Newcastle at half-past nine o'clock, was proceeding at the usual pace, it came in contact with a man, apparently a labourer, but totally unconnected with the railway, between the Wallsend and Walker Stations, and knocked him down, nearly severing the legs from the body, and killing him on the spot. The unfortunate sufferer, it appears, had been trespassing on the line, and did not observe the engine till too late to escape. The body, which was sadly mutilated, was soon afterwards brought to the station-house at Newcastle, to be claimed by the relatives. No blame, we believe, is attachable to the engine-driver, as, owing to the darkness of the night and the position of the deceased, the melancholy occurrence was unavoidable. INQUESTS BEFORE W. LUMB, ESQ.-On Thursday, at Ginns, on view of the body of Patrick M'AVOY, miner, aged sixteen years, who on that day was crushed to death amongst some rollys, or trams, in Saltom Pit. It was supposed that the deceased had fallen, and becoming entangled amongst the trams, and thus lost his life. Verdict, "Accidental Death."-At Great Broughton, on Monday, on view of the body of William SKELTON, aged six years, who, whilst playing on the banks of the Derwent, on Saturday evening, fell into the water and was drowned. The deceased was carried down the river for the distance of between three and four miles, and was not found until Sunday morning, when the body was discovered in the coup hecking of Salmon Hall Pit.-Verdict, "Accidental Death." FATAL ACCIDENT.-Early on Wednesday morning week, an accident which was attended with loss of life, occurred at Bishopwearmouth Iron-works, under the following circumstances:-The Iron Works Company have lately purchased a quantity of old cannon, bombshells, &c., from the Board of Ordnance, for the purpose of being melted in the furnace as old metal. On the morning in question one of the shells had, contrary to orders, been put into the furnace whole, instead of being previously broken; it had contained part of a charge, and immediately exploded. The furnace was blown to atoms; and a boy, 15 years of age, named Wm. IRVING, who was employed at the works, was struck with the materials and killed upon the spot. Two of the workmen, named Joseph SHAW and Emanuel POLLARD, were also injured; but, we are happy to add they are in a fair way of recovery.-Sunderland Herald. WONDERFUL ESCAPE.-On the 10th instant, one of the workmen of Messrs. FOSSICK and HACKWORTH, Stockton-upon-Tees, named William MARK, was erecting the machinery of a new drop at Port Clarence, when a chain that was round a malleable iron shaft, weighing two tons, slipped from its place, and the shaft struck the platform of planks on which he was standing. He was jerked above the staith, high in the air, and then fell through and among the timbers, to which he clung with his hands, and was thus prevented from falling into the water (which was 25 feet deep). He was extricated by his fellow-workmen; and Mr. MORDU, medical gentleman, was called to his relief. He was found to be much bruised, but no bones were broken, nor were there any dislocations. One of his arms, Mr. MORDUE was of opinion, had been out of joint, and pulled in again by MARK, while catching at the planks. He lost all consciousness, he says, while flying in the air, and did not become sensible until some time afterwards. His comrades, and the crew of a vessel lying near the gears, fully expected that he would be dashed to pieces, and marvelled at his escape with life. He is now out of danger, and fast recovering.-Gateshead Observer.

Saturday 23 Aug 1845 (p. 3, col. 4) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-At Roundthwaite, in the parish of Orton, on Tuesday, the 19th inst., on the body of John TODD, labourer on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line, and a native of Gilling, near Richmond, aged 28, whose death had been caused by injuries received in falling from the top of a viaduct the Thursday previous. The viaduct under construction crosses the river Barrow, and its height is about 60 feet. At the distance of 32 feet from the ground a machine called a Crab was placed for the purpose of drawing up stones. This crab rested upon two horizontal beams nearly six yards apart, which were supported by other beams or balks of wood standing perpendicularly; and the crab was constructed to run on a temporary rail to enable the workmen to convey stones by it to any part of the bridge. The beams upon which it moved were also supported, each, by two tension rods. The deceased and three other persons were working the crab and travelling frame, and whilst in the act of raising a stone about three tons weight, the tension rods at the end of the travelling frame suddenly gave way, and the beams breaking at the same moment the four workmen were precipitated to the ground, along with the stone, timber beams, and other articles, which fell with a tremendous crash. Three of the men, including deceased, who had fallen, and another workman who had the misfortune to be immediately underneath at the time, were taken up in, apparently, a lifeless state; but the other who had partially evaded the crab, &c. falling upon him, by leaping off on finding the beams give way, was not much injured. Four medical gentlemen were sent for without delay, and on examining the sufferers gave but slight hopes of the recovery of four of them. The deceased had his left arm and left thigh broken, and an ancle so much bruised that mortification took place; and he died on Monday last; another was found with a leg so shattered as to render amputation of the limb necessary; and a third was deprived of his senses from fractures received on the head, in which state he still continues. These two are not expected to survive. The principal witness examined by the coroner was Mr. John TORKINGTON, the contractor of that part of the line, and who had witnessed the accident. After deposing to the facts given above he stated that he had been employed amongst machinery for the last 20 years, and that the tension rods which had broken were an inch in diameter, and qualified to bear 10 tons each. He had seen the frame tried on the Monday previous to the accident with a stone about the same size as that which was being drawn up when the accident took place. He had never seen stronger works for the purpose, and could not account for the accident. The jury returned a verdict of "accidental death," and at the same time exonerated the Railway Company from any blame with regard to the sufficient strength of their machinery.

Saturday 23 Aug 1845 (p. 2, col. 8 - p. 3, col. 2) FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Friday morning last, David HETHERINGTON, formerly landlord of the Lancer public house, Gallow Hill, was killed at the saw mill of Mr. RICHARDSON, near the station of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway, by the fall of a log of wood. An inquest was held on the body of deceased, and a verdict of "accidental death," returned. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-On Wednesday week, young man named YOUNGHUSBAND, mariner, of Whitehaven, returned from sea after a long voyage. The first thing he did on placing his foot on terra firma was to pay a visit to the idol of his heart-a young woman residing in that town, to whom he had been engaged for a long period. On reaching the spot where he had nursed the fond idea of embracing his faithful --, he learned the fact "that true love never does run smooth." His plighted one was engaged to another. The intelligence so affected the young man that he resolved on self destruction, and accordingly after taking a few glasses of grog, he repaired to the harbour, and, after throwing his watch and money into the water, he jumped in himself; but fortunately was observed by some persons at work not far distant from the spot, who greatly to their credit, lost no time in putting off to the poor fellow, whom they succeeded in rescuing from a watery grave.-Whitehaven Herald. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Thursday week, a melancholy and fatal accident happened to a young man, named John BANKS, a servant in the family of Mr. TYSON, of Low Houses, in Newlands, near Keswick. BANKS was occasionally employed in a quarry, near Buttermere; and on the morning of the above named day, he and a fellow workman were engaged at the bottom of the quarry grinding their tools, when a large stone, (which it is supposed had been loosened by a goat that was browsing about the quarry,) fell from a great height, and struck the unfortunate man upon the head, nearly splitting his skull in two, and scattering his brains all around the place on which he stood. BANKS was in the prime of life, and in that dreadful state of suffering, he actually lingered until the following morning, when he unconsciously terminated his earthly career. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-A boy, of the name of FENWICK, an inmate of the Victoria Blind Asylum, Newcastle, was on a visit to his friends at Blackwell, near Darlington, and was run over a few days ago, by an omnibus near the former place; he died shortly after of the injuries he received. This poor boy, although deprived of his sight, was very quick and capable of being alone, but there was a commotion at the time from a great number of children created by the arrival of COOKE's Circus, and the noise of the vehicle was lost in that of the children. It is only a short time since the boy's brother was drowned in the river Tees. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-On Saturday morning last, about four o'clock, while a young man named WOOD, a pitman belonging to Whitley Colliery, was shooting sea-gulls in company with his brother, at Hartley Sands, his fowling piece, which he had left for a moment on the rocks, accidentally went off, and the contents were lodged in his head, causing almost instantaneous death. An inquest was held on the body the same day, in the house of Mr. William STUDDY, sign of Whitley Park, Whitley, and a verdict returned of "Accidental Death." SOLDIER DROWNED AT TYNEMOUTH.-On Monday se'nnight, one of the soldiers of the garrison at Tynemouth Castle, was unfortunately drowned, whilst bathing on the short sands. He was a swimmer, but it is supposed he had ventured too far from the shore, and had sunk from exhaustion, the sea being rather high at the time.

Saturday 16 Aug 1845 (p. 3, col. 6) INQUESTS.-An inquest was held at Cockermouth, on Friday last, before W. BRAGG, Esq., on the body of Miss Elizabeth NEWLANDS, aged 25 years, daughter of the late Mr. John NEWLANDS, of the Esps, near Cockermouth, who died on Monday the 4th inst. After a lengthened investigation, and post mortem examination, a verdict was returned of "Died from the effects of arsenic, but whether taken voluntarily or otherwise did not appear." Great commiseration has been excited for the mournful fate of the young woman.-Another inquest was held before Mr. LUMB, on Monday, at Flimby, on view of the body of a man unknown, cast ashore by the sea at that place. Verdict, "Found Drowned."
