    3. Saturday 06 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 6) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) ACCIDENT.-An inquest was held on Friday, at Westwoodside, near Crofton Hall, on the body of Mr. James ROAN, who died in consequence of injuries received on Monday by reason of a fall from his horse on his return from Rosley Hill Fair.-Verdict accordingly. (Before W. BRAGG, Esq., Coroner.) ACCIDENT.-A few days ago a melancholy accident occurred at Lamplugh Mill. Four young women were riding in a cart, which was unfortunately backed into a water course and overturned. Three of the females escaped unhurt, but the cart fell upon the breast of the fourth and injured her so severely that she died in about three hours afterwards. An inquest was afterwards held upon the body of the unfortunate young woman, and a verdict of accidental death returned. (Before Geo. THOMPSON, Esq., Coroner.) On Wednesday last, an inquisition was held at Bleatarn, Westmoreland, on the body of Mary DENT, wife of Mr. John DENT, of that place, aged 68 years. The deceased on the evening previous to the inquest, was sitting on a chair in conversation with the family and a neighbour or two, when she suddenly sighed and fell down on the floor, and on being removed to the door life was found to be extinct. She had not before been subject to any complaints of any description, and was in the enjoyment of her usual good health. Verdict-"Died by the visitation of Codi" [sic!]
