An inquest was held at the County Court, York, this morning, by Mr J R Wood, the city coroner, on the body of John Farndale, labourer, age 60, of Wighill lane, Tadcaster. The evidence showed that on November 15 deceased went on horseback to fetch some cows from a field, and when in Wighill lane he fell off his horse, fracturing his thigh. A passer-by sent for assistance, and he was taken to his home, and sent to the Hospital on the following day. He died there on the 1^st inst. The evidence of Dr Coles, the house surgeon of the Hospital, showed that deceased's death was caused by congestion of the lungs, the development of which had been favoured by the rest necessary for the healing of the fractured thigh. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, in accordance with the medical evidence.
