Saturday 07 Jun 1845 (p. 3, col. 3) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) At Wigton, on the 2nd instant, on the body of William CRAGHILL, shoemaker, aged 47 years, who, on the preceding day, had hanged himself in his own house, by means of a handkerchief fastened to a bed-tester. Deceased was represented by the witnesses to have been a hard-working man, but to have taken occasional fits of drinking. He had been very intemperate during the week previous to his death, and had become unsettled and desponding. In the morning he had been to the Joiners' Arms Public House, where he had drunk two glasses of spirit, after which, at about eight o'clock, he went home and retired to his bed-room. About ten o'clock, his daughter was sent by her mother to ask him to have some food, when he was discovered quite dead. Verdict-"Insanity." On the 3rd instant, at Castledyke, in the parish of Beaumont, on the body of Miss Margaret LITTLE, aged 26, the daughter of Mr. LITTLE, who died suddenly on the preceding day. Deceased was subject to sick head-ache, and had complained much of this on the preceding Sunday afternoon. On Monday morning, she was attacked with pain in the breast, vomiting and purging, which continued at intervals until evening, when she died about six o'clock. Dr. SEWELL had been called in, but did not see deceased alive. In the absence of Mr. SEWELL, Mr. ELLIOT, surgeon, of Carlisle, was examined, and gave his opinion, from the symptoms detailed in the evidence, that the death of the deceased was occasioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel. Verdict-"Natural Death." (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) At Gaitsgill, on the body of John TINKLER, who died under the following circumstances. He attended Carlisle market, on Saturday last, in company with his wife. There was a young colt in the cart, three years old; it had only been yoked twice before. It went quickly to Carlisle, and all the way back again until within two hundred yards of his own house. There, his wife left him to go across the field, and when she saw the horse again it was restive, and rearing. She endeavoured to take hold of its head, but it reared with him, carrying him up; and when it came down he fell to the ground. The horse started off, and the wheel of the cart went over his body. She lifted him, and took him home, were [sic] he lingered till Tursday [sic] morning, when he died. Verdict-"Accidental death." (Before W. LUMB, jun., Esq., Coroner.) On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Sandwith, on view of the body of William Henry CROUCH, a youth of about 15 years of age, who came to his death under melancholy circumstances on the preceding evening. It appeared that the youth had taken a loaded gun from his mother's house for the purpose of shooting corncrakes. On his way to the fields, the deceased called at Mr. John BOADLE's, of Sandwith, whose servant was about to accompany him. Whilst the deceased and a young man named BROCKBANK were waiting of Mr. BOADLE's servant in an out-kitchen, the gun (the butt end of which was resting upon young CROUCH's foot) went off and shot the deceased through the head. The accident occurred about seven o'clock in the evening, and the deceased only survived about twenty minutes. Verdict-"Accidental Death, with a deodand of 1s. on the gun." (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT SHAP.-On Saturday last, a melancholy and fatal accident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, within a short distance of the village of Shap, to a person named John Hayton SARGINSON, in his 20th year. Deceased, who was a native of that village, had only been working on the line four days previous to the accident, and his employment was that of unloading ballast from the waggons and spreading it. On the morning of the above day it appears the unfortunate man in stopping a waggon opposite the place where he was filling had done it too suddenly, and another waggon which was attached thereto, from the impetus it had acquired, ran up and jammed deceased's head between the bodies of the two with such violence as to cause instant death. This distressing event was partly occasioned by deceased putting his hands intead [sic] of his feet on the break, as an experienced person would have done, in consequence of which his body was thrown forward into that dangerous position which led to his death. Verdict-"Accidental death." We are sorry to add that he has left a widow and three young children totally unprovided for.
