FATAL MISCARRIAGE.—A DRUGGIST COMMITTED
run MANSLAAJGHTER..—The coroner for, Birmingham
held an inquest on Tuesday evening on the body of a
married woman named Saunders, who had died a few
hours subsequent to her miscirriage. She was attended
by a druggist named Whitt-, who has gained for him-
self an unenviable notoriety in various ways. He has
been twice tried .for felony and once transported ; and
not. many weeks back a verdict of Wilful Murder was '
returned against him in connection with a fatal attempt
to procure abortion. Owing, however, to some infor-
mality in the proceedings, he succeeded in having this
verdict quashed by the Court of Queen's Bench, and was
released from prison. In the present case he performed
an operation which was perfectly unnecessary, and which
caused such a rupture internally that death from htemor-
. page ensued in an hour or tro.. The jury returned a
i verdict of Manslaughter against him.
