♦POTHER SHOCKING DEATH FROM
STARVATION.

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys,
Middlesex coroner, at the Two Brewers Terms, Shaveditch,
last night, respecting the death of Naomi Noricum, aged 63
years, from severe privations.
Sarah Russell deposed that deceased was a single woman,
aged occupied part of witness's room, for which she (deceased)
paid 9d. a weekend. Deceased was allowed ls. and a 4 lb.
loaf per week by the parish, and her eider gave her &L •
week. It was oat of that la Bd. a week that she void wit-
ness the rent. Witham had to work all day at needlework,
sod had to leave the deceased slope. Deceased was able to
do no work. and she earned no mooey. Wittier never saw
deceased take asp meal but her breakfast. Witness had to
be even on Sundays at her needlework, and last
Sunday on her return in the evening deceased was
dying. Witness called a doctor, but when he arrived
he pronounce] her dead. Witness never saw other clothes
with deceased than those she stood upright in, namely, two
petticoats sad an old gown. She hail to cover herself as
best she could with those garumuts at night, for there were
no blankets or @beets to keep the cold from her. There
were in the mom, only three chairs, an old box, and a small
bit of Sock bed, with aa old quilt. There was nothing else
io the place. Dammed stayed in the room all day and had
nothing to keep herself from the cold. Deceased got nothing
from the pariah tut the ls. and the one led in the week.
Mary Eldridge, 1, King's Head-court, landlady of the
house to which deceased lived, said that deceased was ito re-
served that Mantes knew nothing about her beyond the fact
that she slept aloe, in her room all lay. Witness believed
she was in a very deplorable and humble state.
Mr. A. Roper, surgeon, said that he had made • post-
mortem examination of the body of the deceased. The
immediate cause of death was rapture of the heart. Pri-
vations, want of nourishment, proper clothing, and of
warmth would undoubtedly have accelerated the rupture of
the heart. There was no trace of fat in the interior of the
body.
The Coroner said that the protracted sufferinp and the
miserable death of deceased were deplorable. He should.
in fairness to the pariah authorities, &llama the ease, to
*cable the officials to offer say explanation that might
obviate the isfereries that would otherwise be arrived at
with respect to them.
The procesdinp were adjourned accordingly.
