Saturday 01 Feb 1845 (p. 3, col. 2) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) On the 19th instant [sic], at Lammonby, in the parish of Skelton, on the body of Thomas FINDLEY, of Carlbrake, farmer, aged 78 years. On Tuesday, the 14th instant, deceased attended Penrith market with a horse and cart, and remained there until Wednesday night at 12 o'clock, when he left to go home. It appeared that the morning was very dark and misty, and that deceased had missed his way, and got to Lammonbyrrigg quarries, and had there fallen into a limekiln, where he was found quite dead on Friday morning. The horse and cart were traced up to the limekiln and there is no doubt that at the time of deceased's fall he had been leading the horse, for the marks of its fore feet were within four feet of the kiln top. The horse when found was grazing in the adjoining ground, with part of its trapping upon it. The cart was lying at a short distance upset. This led to the discovery of the body. Deceased had fallen a depth of thirteen feet, and his skull was extensively fractured. Verdict-"Accidental death." On the 25th instant [sic], at Penrith, on the body of John NICHOLSON, aged 82. Deceased was found dead in bed on the previous day, he had been ailing for some time. Verdict-"Natural death." (Before Mr. LUMB, Coroner.) An inquest was held at Maryport, on Monday week, on view of the body of Sarah NICHOLSON, aged 72 years, who on the 14th ultimo, accidentally fell down stairs and sustained injuries which occasioned her death on the following Saturday. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) At the Greyhound Inn, Shap, on Thursday, the 23rd instant, on the body of John SPANSWICK, aged 19. Deceased was a navigator, employed on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and on the 17th instant, in yoking the horses to a laden waggon, had hooked the chain attached to one of them to the centre instead of the side of the waggon. After the waggon had been drawn a few yards, deceased found that he had done wrong, and, in attempting to unhook the chain, was knocked down and run over, the waggon passing over the left leg, which was so severely fractured as to render amputation necessary. During the operation, and till the Tuesday following, no untoward symptoms were observed, but on that day deceased became very restless, and, mortification taking place, he died. Verdict-"Accidentally killed."
