Saturday 08 Jun 1844 (p. 3, col. 4) INQUESTS. ----- (Before W. LUMB, Esq., Coroner.) An inquest was held on Friday last, in Whitehaven, on view of the body of Thomas HERD, whose death, it was reported, had been occasioned by ill usage received in the police station. The inquiry satisfactorily showed that the deceased had been treated by the police in the most humane manner, and the court entirely acquitted them of all blame whatever. Verdict: "Died by the visitation of God."-An inquest was held at Ellenborough, on Monday, before the same coroner, on view of the body of Hannah FEARON, a child of ten years of age, who died on Sunday in consequence of injuries received by her clothes accidentally taking fire on the 20th of May last. Verdict: "Accidental Death."-Another inquest was held the same day, before the same gentleman, at Hensingham, near Whitehaven, on view of the body of William DARNLEY, a custom-house officer at that port, aged 37 years, who was found dead in bed on Sunday morning last. Mr. D. had been in a declining state of health for some time past. Verdict: "Died by the visitation of God." Before G. THOMPSON, Esq., Coroner. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Milburn, Westmorland, touching the death of Wm. CHEESEBROUGH, of Skirwith, near the above place, husbandman, aged 45 years, who was struck by a horse on the preceding Thursday. At the time of the accident, deceased was cleaning the horse between its hind legs, and hold of the tail, when it suddenly struck out and forced him against the wall. Two of Mr. John BRUNSKILL's sons were present, and immediately called for assistance. Deceased died on the following Saturday morning, from, it is supposed, internal injury in the lower part of the abdomen, no outside marks being apparent. He was a person highly respected in the neighbourhood. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death, with a deodand of 1s. on the horse."
