BROADSTAIRS INQUEST.

W. H. Payn, Esq., Coroner for the Borough of Dover and its liberties, held an inquest at the "George Inn," Broadstairs, on Saturday, touching the death of Emma Randall, who was found dead the previous day. Deceased was subject to fainting fits, and was found lying in her kitchen, with a large cut on her head, buy a woman named Mary Shoulders. Edward D'Arcy Evezard, the surgeon who attended the deceased, when he first saw her said she had apparently been dead about an hour. There were no other marks of violence except the cut on her head. he did not know the actual cause of death, and did not notice anything about the room to arouse suspicion. Another surgeon deposed to attending deceased, and said he thought death had occurred from heart disease. The jury returned a verdict accordance with the medical testimony.
