MELANCHOLY OCCURENCE
Yesterday morning, two of a number of wretched beings, who from want of
a home take shelter for the night in the lime kiln at Loug-lane,
Kevin-street, were found suffocated; one of them, named Grumly, was found on
the lime in the kiln, and is supposed to have fallen in off the rim (where
they lay) when struggling with the suffocation. A third man was discovered
in time to have him removed to an hospital, and it is expected he will
recover. Within this past year there have been five persons discovered
suffocated in the same kiln, and we have before observed upon the necessity
of the Police or the Proprietor adopting some method to prevent this waste
of life. Mr. M'Carthy, Coroner for the County, held an Inquest on the
bodies, when the Jury returned a verdict that the deceased were found
suffocated.--Freeman's Journal
