Saturday 11 May 1844 (p. 2, col. 8 - p. 3, col. 1) INQUESTS.-An adjourned inquest was held at Armathwaite, on the 6th instant, before Mr. CARRICK, on the body of a female child, which, as we stated last week, was found in the river Eden, a short distance below Armathwaite bridge, on Tuesday week. There being no evidence tending to show who had placed it there, the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder," against some person or persons unknown. At Prior Wood, near Carlisle, on Thursday, on the body of a child, named John MARK, aged one year and nine months, son of Mr. John MARK, farmer, who accidentally fell into a pond of water near the outbuildings, and was drowned. Verdict accordingly. SUDDEN DEATH.-WORKINGTON MAY 5.-A rather singular but awful circumstance has occurred here during the last three or four days. On Thursday Mr. John THOMPSON, on getting out of bed in the morning discovered that his wife (lying beside him) was a corpse. She had previously been unwell. On the following morning, Friday, John THOMPSON himself was discovered, by the servant, in bed also a corpse, and to every appearance had died without a struggle. The former was 74, and the latter 78 years of age. They were interred this afternoon in one grave. Mr. THOMPSON was for many years master of the Integrity, out of this port, and had accumulated a handsome competency by an honest and straightforward line of conduct. FATAL ACCIDENTS.-On Tuesday last, while a young man named HARRINGTON was in the act of adjusting some coal waggons on the branch railway of Messrs. J. and T. WALKER, at Dearham, he unfortunately became entangled in the gearing, and before he could extricate himself was so severely injured that he only survived the accident a few hours.-On the same day, one of the men employed at the Aspatria cutting on the Carlisle and Maryport Railway, lost his life in consequence of a large quantity of earth, which had been incautiously undermined, falling upon him, by which he was completely buried for some time.
