THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN QUEEN STREET.—Inquest.

An inquest was held at the Hospital this afternoon to inquire into the cause of the death of Alexander Oliver, who was run down by a horse in Queen-street on Thursday morning last. The enquiry was held before Dr Goldsbro', coroner ; and Mr Henry Keane was chosen foreman of the jury.

After viewing the body the following evidence was taken :—

Mr Joy, L.L.B. attended, to we,ceh'the case on behalf of William, Fail J c 'ne young man who was riding the ho;^ e a t the time of the accident.

Sergeant-M a j or p ar( j y conducted the ex aminati^j „ * .uwin Carven. a drayman in the employ c jt the City Council, deposed that on Thursday morning he was at the corner of Fort-street when he saw a man crossing Queen-street, when another on horseback came round the corner from Shortland crescent up Queen street. The deceased made a sort of stagger, and the horse ran on to him, and he fell from the effects of the col lision. Witness afterwards saw the man carried into a chemist's shop. (Witness was taken to identify the body in the Dead-house.) He believed deceased was the man he saw knocked down. Would not be able to recognise the man who was on horse back. The man was riding at a fast jjpace. Could not say if he tried to check his horse. To Mr Joy : The man was riding at a quick trot, but did not notice anything particular about him until the collision. Thomas Stapleton also saw the occurrence, and recognised the man on horseback as William Fail, in the employ of Mr Dornwell, butcher. His description of the affair was that the deceased while crossing Queen street stood still when he saw the horse upon him, and he was knocked down. Fail rod* on a few yards until he was called back. Saw Mr E. Lewis pick up Mr Oliver, and take him into Mr Hamilton's shop. The horse was coming at a lively trot round the corner, [but witness could not say whether the rider tried to pull up. The horse was afterwards easily pulled up. To Mr Joy : Do not believe the act was done purposely. Distinctly saw deceased stop, but did not observe him move back wards. He might have done so. He ap peared confused. It was evidently an acci dent. Had witness been in the road instead of deceased he could have got out of the way easily. John Adams, miner, gave evidence of the occurrence. His testimony was similar to that of the preceding witnesses. The wit ness described the accident as taking place nearly in the middle of the road. Dr Philson, Provincial Surgeon, was next examined as to the injuries the deceased had received. He deposed that the deceased was brought to the Hospital on the morning of the Bth inst., in a state of insensibility, and suffering from concussion of the brain. The Witness minutely described the symptoms. The man died at twenty minutes to twelve on the same night. A leather pouch was found upon him, containing one ten pound note, and a five pound note. He also had a silver watch and chain. On examining the body thirty-five hour's after death an exten sive fracture was found eight inches in length in the skull. Deceased had died from coma, the result of injuries to the brain. His being knocked down by a horse would cause the same. Mr Charles Philips gave evidence of having witnessed the accident, and said the man on horseback was riding at a quick trot. To Mr Joy : Saw the deceased stop and stand still just as the horse came upon him. Had he not have done so the hor9e would not have to ached him. He appeared confused and lost his presence of mind. He turned round and faced the horse, and made a movement as if to stop it. Believed the man on the horse did his best to prevent a collision.
