LLT3 DI:OWNING CASE6.—On Tuesday after-
noon, Mr. Edwin Hooper (district caroner) re,anned
an inquiry at the Navigation lon, Old Hill, teuvh-
ing tbe death of Eliza Sivit..l. (18) warehoutameman
Theodore Str,,et,.Birrninahatu, who was .ounzl dead
in the canal, the previous Tuesday, under circum-
stances alrea:y reportd. The inquiry was opened
on the following Thursday, and adjourned to allow
of a post mortem examination of the body being
made.—Superintendent Woollaston was present on
behalf of the police.—Additional evidenee was
given by Hannah Parkes, of Waterfall Lane, who
stated that about nine o'clock on Monday niFht,
20th ult., a young woman whom she had since
identified as deceased, went to her house and in-
quired the way to Old Hill Station. Witness di-
rected her, and returned into the house.—William
Kilvert, a watchman employed at Mr. Standish's
works, near to where the body was found, deposed
to hearing a woman scream loudly soon af.er nine
o'clock on the night of the 20th ult. Witness went
outside the works on to the towpath of the canal,
but could see nothing, teh screams having suddenly
ceased.—Mr. Thomas Standish. surgeon, Cradley
Heath, who made a post mortem examination of
d ceased's body, stated that there were no external
marks of violence, nor had there been a recent de-
livery of a child, deceased never having borne a
child, and never been pregnant. There was no
evidence to lead witness to suppose that any foul
play had been used.—The Coroner said when the
inquiry was opened there was some doubt in his
mind as to whether the child, found two days after-
wards near the same spot as was deceased's body,
belonged to her, but the evidence had entirely,
Cleared this up, and there was no connection
between the two.—The jury returned a verdict of
"Accidentally drowned," and recommended that a
fencing be erected to guard a spot where it is sup-
posed deceased fell into the canal.—At the stifle
time the inquest on the body of the child above re-
ferred to was resumed. The body, that of a newly
born child, was found in the canal, at Waterfall-
lane, on the previous Thursday morning.—Mr.
Standish, surgeon, who made a post-mortem -ex
aminatiou of the body, said that it was that of a
full-grown child and had apparently been in the
water some weeks, There was a large scalp wound
such as would be caused by passing boats. The
umbilical cord was attached and there was no
ltpture to it. All the organs were in a healthy
sfate. and in witness's opinion the child was horn
alive and died from hemoirbage, owing to not
having received proper attention at the time of birth
Believed the chid died before reaching the water.
—This was the only evidence, the police having
been unable to ascertain anything further respect-
ing the body.—The Coroner said there was not suf-
tieient evidence to return a verdict of wilful murder
and the jury, under his direction, returned an open
verdict of "Found dead."
