LAMENTABLE CASE OF DESTITUTION

On Thursday, at half past 6 o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Thompson, the borough coroner, at the "Fox," St. James's Street, on view of the body of Elizabeth Hall, aged 78, who fell down at the corner of Townwall Street, on the previous day, and almost instantly expired. - Mr. Warren, Marine Library, deposed that he was passing Townwall Street about half past two  on Tuesday, when he saw the deceased fall down on the pavement. He on the instant sent a person that was near for a surgeon. Mt. Astley soon after arrived, but the poor woman was dead before he came. - Dr. Astley deposed that the deceased was a corpse before he saw her. He attributed her death to the rupture of a blood vessel, but could not speak positively as to this, as he had not made a post mortem examination of the body. There were no marks of violence on the body. - Elizabeth Bass deposed that the deceased, who was the widow of David Hall, of Dover, mariner, had lived with her as a lodger for five weeks. Deceased had been poorly, though not confined to bed, for a fortnight back; but said she was better yesterday, and went out at half-past two for the purpose of getting some cherries. - Examined by the foreman of the Jury-The deceased had often complained of witness to want. She had only 2s from the parish to live on, and out of this she paid 1s to witness for rent. Witness had known deceased to be two days without a mouthful of food; and she told witness that she had been necessitated to eat tea leaves as a substitute for bread. In short the state of distressed deceased was in was quite shocking. She did not complain of want to witness on the day she died; but she did the day before.- Mary Wye, age 17, granddaughter of deceased, said it was her practise to go and see her grandmother every morning. On day she died witness had called and been told by deceased that she was better. Had her her say that her grandmother had twice fallen down before; once when coming from the Union, and on another occasion; but did not know of her own knowledge know of the cause of these falls.- This being the evidence, the Coroner, in reference to that part of the evidence which represented deceased as suffering from want of food, very properly said, that if the Jury had any doubts on their minds, he would order a post mortum examination of the body. This, however, the Jury declined; and after a few seconds of consultation brought in their verdict that the deceased "Died by the visitation of God."
