woman named .'•itzirrina. —4 young
employed a* " oombee, who had been
mai. wan • Era__••• House, for a fro...night, as
I°P•
a child en 1F 'Aght, last week, delivered of
draw , "Men concealed in • box under BOUM
m. Belies unable to leave her room next
tering, enspin a was aroused, and Mr. Ellis,
eltrgeon, was mot for. An inquiet was hold on
Wednesday, at tie Townliall, before G. B. Abindge,
' Esq., when Mr. Ellis said: On the lith of March,
as helf•past ten e'clook, I eras sent for to go to the
house of Mr. Ton Belben to see their cook. Matilda
Coombe,, who was said to kayo been very ill in the
night. On observing the state of the room and
from information received. I nen to the oonclusion
that she bad probably been reoently oonaned, and,
accordingly, asked her some questions. then asked
her where the body of the child wee, she replied in
the box. On opening the boa I lowa two or three
clean dresses, and under all, wrapped in another
dress, was the body of a tarsals child; the one
which the jury has men. It was in all tis
well developed. I asked if the child wasitt
alive, and she replied she did not know. I can form
no opinion without a posinorteme examination as to
whether the child waa born alive or dead. I ens-
wiped the child hut sew no external marks of
violence. —Mary Wheeler said: I am housemaid at
Mr. Torn Babes's, and slept with the girl. I saw her
go earns the room twin to her box. At six o'clock,
the usual bour for rising she got up, and the cook
, desired her to light the fin in the breakfast room,
stating that she should not get op that day, then
went about her work and heard nothing more until
two o'clock. I heard no noise of a child orris(
daring the night. I am 16 years of age.—The in-
quiet was then adjourned until Friday afternoon
, at three o'clock for Mr. Ellis to make a post.esoriest
examinatimi of the dead child. On Friday the
inquest was resumed at the Town-hall, when Mr.
Ellie said: Oo moving the body of the child front
the boa from which it was plaosid, I weighed it,
and it weighed rather more than 7th.., it was in all
respects fully developed, there were no mule of
violeon. On opening tin body, the internal organs
were perfectly natural, the lungs had evidently been
' inflated; I tested the Nogg by immersing them in
water, and found them quite buoyant. The bind
was in a perfectly healthy state, the vela, well
supplied with blood. I should be of opinion that the
child breathed after its birth, 1 belies the child to be a
, healthy full Arrow'. child and it wag dim average size.
If thechild was born in the dark it is possible that the
mother might not know whether the child was alive
or not. I do not thiuk that the child died from
hemorrhage nosed by the rupture of the umbilical
cord. I see no reason why the child should not
have lived if the mother had bad professional or
ordinary soli/Aeon. All lam able to determine
from my examination of the child is, that it brew lied.
—Elizabeth Bouroesh, nursemaid at Mr. Bellies's,
said, on Tuesday morning I was called in to see her
by Mary Wheeler, about three o'clock. I Awned
marks on the pillow, bet had no ides what was the
matter, I made no mention to the cook I was
present at any coefinement. The inquest was then
adjourned until Friday, March 521. The girl Coombee
is oonfinerl to her bed in the Poole Union-house,
whither she was removed, we are informed, within
24 hours of her ciondnemeat
