The accident is the more remarkable from the fact that on Boxing-day no fewer than 5,000 persons passed in and out of the Polytechnic over this same flight of steps without accident. This, however, probably tended to weakening the structural strength and capability of the staircase. On Thursday, Mr Wakley opened an inquisition at the Middlesex Hospital upon the body of Emma Pike. The proceedings, under the Coroner's direction, were limited to the fact of ascertaining the cause of death, the question in relation to the cause of the accident being reserved, till the report of two architects Mr Marsh Nelson appointed to examine it had been received. and Mr Christopher Eales were the architects named, and the inquiry was adjourned till next Thursday. A PRISONER CRUSHED TO DEATH BY A TREADMILL.-On Tuesday week the city Coroner held an inquest at Canterbury, touching the death of J. Bolton, a prisoner in St Augustine's jail, and which had resulted from injuries sustained, as detailed by the jail officials. It appeared that there are two wheels. The deceased was oiling the machinery of the wheel not in motion. He was standing in the cylinder with an oil can in his hand. The lid of the can fell off, and rolled under the wheel in motion. The deceased got off the cylinder, and stooped down on his knees to pick up the lid, when he put his head between the spokes of the wheel in motion and the upright standard supporting it, and his head was immediately crushed against the upright, and nearly severed from the body, The Coroner's jury retarded a verdict of "Accidental death," with a recommendation that in future both wheels. should be stopped while the machinery was being oiled.
