ALLEGED NEGLECT BY A SURGEON AT

BRIERLEY HILL.

On Tuesday evening, W. H. Phillips, Esq.,
(coroner), resumed an inquest at the Ball Inn,
Quarry Bank, near Brierley Hill, on the body of
Leah Willeas (34), the wife of a chainmaker. Mr.
Waldron appeared n behalf of the friends of de-
ceased ; and Mr. H. 6. Caldicott (Messrs. Calidicott
(2anning. and Caldicott) was for Mr. Goalder,
surgeon, of Cradiey Heath, who attended the woman
in her confinement. The inquest was opet,cd
the previous day, and it was shown that the woman
died soon after childbirth. As the husband was nut
satisfied with the treatment the coroner order. d
post-mortem examination. Dr. Walker having made
this, stated that toe body and organs were blanched
from excessive hemorrhage, and this was the cause
of death. There were no lacerations. By Mr.
Waldron: So long as bleeding continued he should
have stayed with the patient, and taken maans to
stop it.—Dr. Savage (Birmingham) gave evidence of
a similar kind, but said he should not have feared
leaving the woman it her pulse was regular, and
the bleeding had stopped.—Phcebe Smith said she
told Dr. Goulder there was no midwife. lie said
the woman was all right. Witness did not notice
anything was wrong until the surgeon was gone.
Dr. Goulder did not come again until the next day.
He then said if he had been with her an hour-and-a-
hail earlier be might have saved her life.—Henry
Willetts, the husband, said he went to Dr. Goulder
and told him his wife was dying. The surgeon said,
You are frightened." Witness replied that there
was great pain, and then the surgeon gave him a
battle of medicine. lie heard Dr. Goulder say the
words about saving her, and he told him he should
have been present instead of sending medicine.--
S, F. Goulder, surgeon, said he attended the woman
as a private patient. He found the baby born. There
Was no excessive bleeding, and when he left con.
traction had taken place. He told the woman she
hid had a good time, and she said sue had. lice
pulse was firm and regular. Some hours afterwards
the husband came and said his wife was ufferieg
great pain at times. Believing from the statemenls
that the pains were natural he sent medicine, and
told the man to come again if anything more oe•
curred. When he (witness) called again the woniaa
was dead.—Dr. Walker recalled, said he considered
it safe if the pulse was regular and contraction hA
sat in to leave the patient. Bleeding, however,
frequently set in when least expected, but could .
probably be stopped if a surgeon was present.—Tbe
jury then returned a verdict that Leah Willett! ;
died from exhaustion, consequent upon loss of blood,
after her confinement, and that such was the re,all'
of natural causes. They added" That the surgeou
having undertaken the case, ought, on the apphea-,
tion of the husband after the confinement, to hoc' !
immediately returned and attended to the case ;
and further, the jury consider that those perzoo°
who were in attendance upon this woman, and 00
the bleeding ought to have sent for medical aid loa •
before they did so:'
