EXTRAORDIN ARY AFFAIR.

On Monday an inquest was held at Preston on the
body of Elizabeth Stones, aged 60, independent lady,
who lived alone in Latham-street. The deceased was
not seen for some days, and the police entered the
house through a window. She was then found on the
floor with a gash on the back of her head lying in a
pool of blood. The kitchen gas was lighted, and a set
of steps were in the lobby. A broken jug was on the
floor. The furniture was upset, and the beds did not
seem as though they had been made some time. The
deceased was a spiritualist, eccentric, and lived alone.
The boy who took her milk had been in the habit of
fetching her a quart of whisky at a time. A post-
mortem examination showed diseased lungs and liver,
and the existence of an old wound on the head, which
had inflamed one portion of the brain. There was
no doubt that deceased had fallen off a ladder, had-
crawled into the kitchen, become insensible, end died.
A verdict of accidental, death was rwt.nrnAd.
