INQUILST AT THE GAOL

An inquest was held on Friday morning before G.
Symonds, Seq.. coroner, and a respectable jury, Mr.
Job Short°, foreman, on the body of William }root, the
prisoner whom incarceration for three months wee the
subject of some remarks in the Standard a few weeks

D Mynard, Governor of the gaol, said deceased was
received into his custody on August 18411, under •
commitment for three months' labour, am • rogue and
vagabond. He wait; however, sick, and in • filthy
condition, and was immediately put under the care of the
medical .fiker. He became much better, and was put to
walk about the yard, and straighten old nails. Next
he wadi taken ill on the 14th inst., went into llovital
again, and died on the 17th. The Governor visited him
every day, and could nee he was sinking : but he made no
complaint.- Re had been here twice before, on the sth
April, 1879, for one month as a rogue and vagabond, wag
I out seven days, and came back again as a rogue and
' vagabond, was out nine days, and Caine in again on
August rah.
Mr. J. flood, medical offiur, explained deceased came
first under his C.O. not because he was bodily ill, but
because he was in • most filthy condition, and had
extensive sores on his legs, ke., he was also infested with
vermin caused by neglect and ex podium lie had to be
cleansed for a fortnight, and was kept in a sick cell At
the end of the fortnight he appeared pretty well, and
faked leave to go down•tairs,when he MIS put on light
labour. When discharged from gaol nine days before,
vritness examined him, and these sores were not on him
then; be made no complaint, and when a man goes out
he is not stripped as when be comes in. The sores were
not constitutional, but excoriation"; from wet and filth,
caused by his lying about under a hayrick and neglecting
himself. .

—By the Coroner: Prisoners are generally pretty well
llt
out Witness saw the man every day till he was cleansed;
but on the 16th, at seven o'clock in the morning, was
called up to see him, found him very ill in his cell, suffer-
Ir.g from severe diarrhed and collapse. Ordered him
nourishment and stimulus, he hod brandy, eggs, milk,
and on Tuesday be seemed better ; but on Wednesday
he was worm, err taken to the infirmary cell, and died
rather soddenly on Wednesday afternoon. Saw him last
In the forenoon, when the man seemed to be sinking, but
was perfectly sensible. Ile gave his age al 581 but
witness believed him older, and on enquiry he stated be
was born to 1811 The cause of death was diarrbcoa, from
disease of the bowels he was" knocked down " all at once, '
and there must have been perforation of the bowels. No
I doubt his manner of life—(" lying out rough "—suggested
the Coroner)—tended to cause the disease. The man
seemed to be of weak mind, not such as would fit him for
the Asylum, but he did not appear quite cenwpos
he was simple-minded, lie was perfectly satisfied and
grateful for the treatment he received, as indeed he ought
to be, considering his state when he came in. He WU
never put to bard labour to which he was committed. On
Sunday be attended at chapel.
William Buell, warder, described the deceased's person
when he came in, as having been in a shocking date, like
raw meat, with maggots in the dash. Witness washed
and dressed him, and banded him to the doctor. Saw him
when he was discharged on the 9th, dripped him of the
orison clothing. and gave him his own, which were clean
when he went out, and witness saw nothing on his skin
than. When he came back on the 18th August he had
not on the same clothes as he had when he went out.
Henry Dewier, infirmary warder, said the decease:do
bodily condition was very good as far as to Beth, and he
appeared to be well nourished. On the 15th he was
reported ill, and witness went on to corroborate what the
doctor said. He was with deceased when he died about
2.16 pm. He did very little, occasionally complaining of
pain; but some few minutes before he died he was quite
easy. He had told witness of his family having left, and
his wife gone to Australia ;he had saved up C to go out
to them ; but somehow or other, he had taken to drink,
and lived a very dissipated life till he had waded all his
money, and in consequence he supposed be should never
de his wife and family again. He had been in the habit
of sleeping out under ricks. had frequently got drenched,
caught cold, Er.. and if be had not been brought there he
believed he should have been dead. He seemed to say he
had thrown away his life.
The Coroner remarked it might have been thought
atrange that the deceased got into such a condition in nine
days, between the time he went out, and came into prison
again. But that might have been accounted for by the
fact that he did not wear into the prison the same suit of
clothes as when he went out. He having been given to
drink, perhaps the good clothes found their ray
some-
where for drink, and he got a dirty suit of clothes,, whcl
caused the vermin to extend all over his body rapidly.
The Jury returned a verdict of "Died from Natural
Causes," in accordance with the medical evidence.

Thts.wu the man who had turned the pigs out of the
sty at Portland. and went and laid in the straw. He had
been several times kept in the Union workhouse when
destitute, but be would not day there.
Mr. Sly wished to add that tho deceased had received
every kindness from the officers of the prison.
