Saturday 03 Aug 1844 (p. 3, col. 4) INQUESTS. ----- Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner. On the 29th instant, at Penrith Workhouse, on the body of Mary COLEMAN, aged 48 years, wife of William COLEMAN, formerly of Brampton, in this county. On the Saturday previous, deceased was in her usual health, and about eleven o'clock at night went to bed in good spirits. On Sunday morning about two o'clock she was spoken to by Jane ARMSTRONG, another inmate of the workhouse, who was sleeping in another bed in the same department. Deceased was then quite well. When Jane ARMSTRONG rose from bed about five o'clock she found deceased lying on the floor quite dead, with no marks of violence upon any part of the body. Deceased had partly lost the use of one side from a previous attack of paralysis. Verdict, "Natural Death." Before Mr. LUMB, Coroner. MAN DROWNED.-On Friday morning last, between five and six o'clock, the body of a man was observed floating in the incoming tide, behind the North Wall, Whitehaven. On being got out of the water, the body was taken to the workhouse where an inquest was held upon it, and a verdict of "Found Dead" returned. The particulars connected with this mysterious and melancholy affair, as far as they are at present known, are as follows:-The unfortunate man is a native of Yorkshire, and a wool-stapler by trade, whose name was William Barker SUCKLEY; he came to Whitehaven about six weeks ago, from Scotland, where he had been on tramp; but not meeting with work, he commenced the avocation of a clothes' cleaner, and was joined by his wife, who left him about a fortnight ago, on account of his intemperate habits. The deceased was in a state of intoxication at a late hour on Thursday night, and in the morning when he was found there was a deep cut across the back part of his head, from which it is inferred that he had either fallen over or had been thrown over the north wall, and that his head had been cut in his descent. There are circumstance connected with the fate of this unfortunate man calculated to lead to the conclusion that he had received foul play from the hands of some one at present unknown; and if these circumstances can be turned to account, the mysterious death of poor SUCKLEY will undergo a further investigation. (Before Mr. BRAGG, Coroner.) MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-On Wednesday week a melancholy and fatal accident occurred to Mr. SHERWEN, of How, Seascale, in the parish of Gosforth. Mr. S., who was in his 71st year of his age, left his house on the day above-mentioned, with a horse and cart, for the sea shore, which is about half-a-mile distant, and, as he remained absent for some time, his neice went in search of him. At a short distance from the house the cart was found overturned, and both Mr. SHERWEN and the horse were quite dead. On the following day an inquest was held upon the body, when a verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned. Mr. SHERWEN was a highly respected yeoman, and his melancholy death is a subject of very general regret throughout the neighbourhood.
