Witnesses never knew she was in the family way; she never mentioned it, but on Saturday said a young man at Deeping was the father. Between seven and eight o’clock, deceased was removed to Chilwell. Ultimately she went to Mrs COX’s at Beeston. Mr J. BUTLER, surgeon, was sent for, and found her in an exhausted state; he administered stimulating drugs but she ultimately died from prostration, loss of blood, and exposure. The Coroner, in summing up, said it was quite clear that the deceased had been sacrificed for want of proper attention. The persons to whom she was taken were poor, and Mr BUTLER was therefore not called in until the last moment. After considerable discussion, the jury agreed to the following verdict – “That deceased has died from exhaustion after being delivered of a child, and from exposure to cold, on being removed from Chilwell to Beeston, and for want of proper medical assistance. ”

MURDER AND SUICIDE BY A MOTHER NEAR NOTTINGHAM – A sad case of murder took place at the village of Beeston near Nottingham on Sunday. A few weeks ago a woman named Mary SMITH was confined of a fine healthy child. On Sunday morning her husband awoke to find his wife and child had left the bed. He went to look for them and discovered their bodies in a water cistern adjoining the house, apparently drowned. On the bodies being got up, it was found the child had a cord around its waist, by which it had been let down into the cistern. There was a puncture wound in the neck of the woman. The poor woman is about 36 years old, and the mother of eight children. The shortness of work for her husband, with the death of her mother four months ago, increased the low state of mind which prompted the deed.
