CORONERS INQUEST.
On Tuesday evening an inquest was held by Mr. T. T. Delasaux as coroner
for the City and borough of Canterbury, at the “Fortune of War,” in the
Military-road, on the body of a newly-born child, which had died within
an hour from its birth. By the evidence adduced it appears that the
mother of the infant, whose name is Jane Ballous, a single woman, had
been residing at the “Fortune of War” as a lodger for the past 10
months, during which time she has twice been confined of children; the
first died within a day after birth and the second as above stated. It
appears that a woman named Dawkins attended as midwife. Mr. Callaway,
surgeon, was examined before the Jury, as to the probable cause of
death, and stated that death had ensued from the umbilical cord not
having been properly attended to, but admitted that it might have been
insecurely tied and afterwards accidentally slipped. From the latter
statement it was deemed unnecessary to proceed further with the enquiry,
and under the direction of the Coroner a verdict of “Death by natural
causes” was recorded.

Coroner's inquest.
On the evening of Tuesday T. T. Delasaux, Esq., the city coroner, held
an inquest at the "Rose and Crown" public house, in the
Military Road, on the body of an infant named Ballard. The evidence of
the landlady of the "Fortune of War Inn" went to show
that on the previous Thursday a woman named Jane Ballard was confined in
her house of a child, who at the birth did not appear
healthy, and the baby died 2 hours afterwards. In answer to questions
the witness stated that a midwife named Elizabeth Dawkins
attended the mother during her confinement, and that Ballard had
previously been confined of a child, who died shortly
afterwards. Mr. Callaway, surgeon, stated his belief that no unfair
means had been used to deprive the infant of life, and the jury
immediately returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes. |
