DEATH FROM THE PRICK OF A NEEDLE:—EXTRAORDINARY CASE- On Tuesday evening, John Gregory, Esq , coroner, held an inquest on the body of a young man, named Wyatt Hancock, a framework-knitter, residing in Brunswick street, Humberstone road, who met with his death in the following extraordinary manner:-It appears that about a fortnight ago he was at work, when his wife fetched him to pull out of her frame a portion of a needle which had broken. He accordingly took a pair of pliers and succeeded in pulling the pin out, but he accidentally run it into his thumb, just at the first joint. He extracted it immediately, and took no further notice of it for a time: but towards evening it began to be very painful, and the next day it was very bad. It continued to grow worse until the third day, when he went down to the Infirmary, had it dressed, and returned home. On the next day it was still worse, and Mr Benfield, honorary surgeon at the Infirmary, advised him to go into the Infirmary, which he did; but from that time he gradually sank, and died on Sunday last. The result of a post-mortem examination which was made on the body, proved the immediate cause of death to have been inflammation of the pericardium and pleurisy, consequent upon the injury of the thumb. A verdict in accordance with these facts was returned.-It is stated that a similar case is entirely unknown.-His remains were followed to the grave on Thursday, by Mr Preston, his employer, and about thirty of his fellow-workman. A great crowd of spectators were also in attendance on the occasion, so great was the sympathy which his sudden and unusual cause of death had produced.
