Saturday 15 Feb 1845 (p. 3, col. 4-5) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) At Penrith, on the 13th instant, on view of the body of John, illegitimate son of Mary LITTLE, aged six weeks, who was found dead in bed on Tuesday morning. A rumour had obtained circulation in the neighbourhood of deceased's residence that his death was attributable to neglect or ill-treatment on the part of his mother. Upon a careful investigation before a highly respectable Jury, however, it did not appear that there was any ground for the suspicion; on the contrary, every attention had been paid to the child, who had died from costiveness, to which he had been subject since his birth. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of "natural death." (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) On the 9th instant, at Plumpton Wall, in the Parish of Lazonby, on the body of Charles DEANE, aged 16 years, servant with Thomas JACKSON, of Brownriggs, in the same parish, farmer. Deceased started from home to go to Carlisle on the preceding Friday morning, about two o'clock, with a cart-load of stones. About an hour afterwards he was found lying on the road about two miles distant from home in an immense pool of blood, and quite dead. There was an extensive wound upon the right temple, and the right side of his face and knuckles were much grazed. Some of the hair of his head was found adhering to the stones upon the road when he was found. The deceased had been in the habit of riding upon his laden cart, and in this instance the hay bag lying on the top of the cart was found to be much crushed down as if he had been lying upon it-his horse and cart were found about a mile further on the road. The Jury were of opinion that he had fallen from his cart whilst asleep and returned a verdict of "accidental death." At Bromfield, on the 12th instant, on the body of Joseph GILBERTSON, aged 29. Deceased had for several years been subject to fits. He went to bed in his usual health on the preceding Sunday night, and was found by his mother on the following morning dead in bed.-Verdict, "natural death." At Hallburn Workhouse, Longtown Union, on the 11th instant, on the body of Jane M'GREGOR, aged 82, a casual pauper who had been admitted on the previous Friday. Deceased was very feeble, and on the previous Saturday night was observed to be restless. On the Sunday morning she was found on the floor of her bed-room dead. Verdict, "natural death." Deceased was a soldier's widow, and stated that she was at the taking of Siringapatam. (Before Mr. LUMB, Coroner.) On Tuesday last at Keswick, on the body of John PAPE, son of Richard PAPE, aged five years, who, as we stated last week, was so severely burned on the Sunday preceding, by his clothes catching fire that he died on the following morning. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." In Tangier-street, in Whitehaven, on Saturday last, on the body of Mrs. Agnes LONGMIRE, widow, aged 70 years, who, on the morning of that day was found by her servant lying dead upon the staircase in her own house. Verdict, "Died of apoplexy." Also in Whitehaven, on Saturday last, on the body of Mary Mc.MULLEN, an infant three weeks old, who on that morning was found dead in bed by her parents. Verdict, "Natural death." On Monday, on the body of John DAWES, who, on Saturday evening last, was proceeding from his own house on the West Pier, Whitehaven, when he accidentally fell from the Quay into the harbour, in consequence of the darkness of the night, and the want of sufficient protection on the pier, by which he was killed on the spot. Verdict, "Accidental death." This is the fifth or sixth person, whose lives have been sacrificed by their having accidentally fallen over the pier at this place. At Hensingham, on Monday, on view of the body of Mr. John WILKINSON, miner, who on Saturday morning last, whilst at work in Messrs. BARKER and Co's coal-pit, on Cleator Moor, was so dreadfully burnt by an explosion of inflammable air, in addition to one of his legs being fractured, that he lingered without any hopes of recovery until Monday, when death put an end to his sufferings. After a careful investigation of all the circumstances relating to the melancholy occurrence the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The deceased has left a widow and three children to lament their irreparable loss.-A fellow workman who was also in the pit at the time, was so severely burned by the explosion that little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Also at the Hollins, near Hensingham, on Monday evening, an inquest was held on view of the body of Mr. Henry ROTHERY, of Beckermount, aged 61 years, who, whilst on his way to Whitehaven in the course of Monday last, was observed by one of Mr. ROBERT's cart-drivers standing near a gate on the road side, and presently afterwards fell backwards. The driver lost no time proceeding to Mr. R. who on being lifted up expired almost instantly. There appeared to be little doubt that the cause of death was apoplexy, but the jury, in the absence of medical testimony, returned a verdict of "Died by the Visitation of God."
