Saturday 05 Apr 1845 (p. 2, col. 8 - p. 3, col. 1) INQUESTS BEFORE MR. CARRICK, CORONER.-An inquest was held on Thursday evening, the 1st instant, at Penrith, on the body of the child whose death from an over-dose of laudanum we noticed in our last number. After a protracted enquiry, which did not terminate till midnight, the Jury acquitted the parents of all intention to injure the child, but found that the poison had been administered medicinally. They consequently returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."-At Penruddock, on the 27th ult., on the body of Mr. Joseph GRAHAM, aged 78 years, who was found dead in his house. Deceased was a single man, and lived alone. Not having been seen by his neighbours throughout the previous Tuesday, one of his relatives looked into his window, when he discovered deceased sitting, or rather reclining, in his night dress upon the bed-side, with the chamber pot standing near him, into which he had vomited a small quantity blood. Verdict, "Natural Death."-At Sebergham Church Town, on the 28th ult., of Thomas LAING, stonemason, aged 17 years. The unfortunate youth on the preceding day was employed in quarrying stones in Sebergham Hall Quarry, when a large quantity of earth stone separated from the breast work and fell upon him, covering him entirely. His two brothers and an apprentice, who were engaged in the same quarry, removed him with all possible expedition. He was then quite dead, and his head greatly mutilated. Verdict, "Accidental Death." The deceased was a very fine looking young man, and bore an excellent character. GREENSIDE.-During the course of last week an accident occurred at the Greenside Lead Mines, by a portion of the roof in one of the grooves falling in, which might have been attended with serious consequences, there being four persons within a very little of the enormous mass of rock, which had fallen upwards of ten fathoms. Only two of the men were injured,-Peter BAINBRIDGE and John COULTHARD; the former had his foot severely mutilated, and the latter his hand. It appears by an account obtained from the Mines, that they were working in a place denominated a stoup, and the roof directly above had been considerably shaken from previous blasting. They had themselves a short time before fired a shot. It never had been suspected by any of the miners, that there was any defect. This is the second time poor COULTHARD has had a misfortune. A few years ago, he had both his thighs broken, besides other serious bruises, at the Crushing Mill. It must be a long time before these two men will be able to work again; and having nothing but labour to depend upon, it is hoped that the directors will put forward a helping hand.-Cor. SUDDEN DEATH OF WELLWOOD HYSLOP, ESQ., OF JAMAICA.-In giving the following extracts from the Jamaica journals, commemorative of the above melancholy event, we may state in passing, that the lamented deceased was a native of Dumfries, and connected by the nearest ties with a county family, at once ancient and highly respectable. Early in life he went abroad, and ultimately settled as a merchant in the city of Kingston, in connection with his brother (Maxwell HYSLOP), who died several years ago. And there, under a burning sun, he spent the better part of an ordinary life time, a leading character in the land of his adoption, and second to none in untiring exertion to promote to the utmost the public weal, under the varying changes, which from time to time have dawned on, and been matured in the island of Jamaica. His was indeed an eventful career; and amidst the deep grief inflicted at home, by a blow so unexpected, it must afford some consolation to surviving relatives, to peruse the generous tributes paid to his memory on the part of fellow citizens, who enjoyed the best opportunities of appreciating the honourable position he so long occupied, the amenity, kindness, intellectual force, and sterling worth of his character. The London Times of the 26th ult., in noticing this bereavement, says-"Mr. HYSLOP's name is associated with that of Simon BOLIVAR, the Liberator of Columbia. He escaped death in Carthagena in 1815, to which the bloody General MORILLA had condemned him, for his financial services to BOLIVAR, but was spared to exert himself for long in advancing the interests of Jamaica, where his death is much and deservedly regretted."
