CHOLERA.—SANITARY CONDITION OF THE
W HITECHAPRL UNION.
Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker,
at *he Windmill, Ecosmarydane, on the body of Richard
Poole, who died en the 16th inst. of Asiatic cholera. The
jury having been sworn, and having proceeded to view the
body, the following evidence was given :
Mr. Richd. Or/urger, Lecturer on Physiology, said he had
examined the intestinal easel and stomach is the deceased.
Was sure the marks he saw were produced, and could be
produced by no other dinettes than true Asiatic cholera. Has
no doubt that a person affected with cholera would be ad.
mined into St. Thomas's hospital, as there was a cholera
ward expressly fitted up for cholera patients. Examined the
body of filisban also. Has no doubt that he died of real
Asiatic cholera.
Dr. Liddle here interposed, and said that he had been that
moment to see a person who was attacked with cholera in
Swan yard. He ordered the person to be removed to the
workhouse, but she refused to go. Be had no power to re-
move her by force, and he wished to know what be was to
do.—The foreman of the jury mid it was the duty of Dr.
Liddle to see that the pen= was removed.—Dr. Liddle said
that his character and practise as a medical man would be
lost if he were to order the police to use force to remove the
poor against their will.
Dr. Liddle was then examined with respect to the death
of blamed Poole. He first went to see the ease on Wednes-
day storming. lie ordered medicine to be sent for, but no
one came (or it. Afterwards loused that he was taken to
St. Thomas's Hospital. On gong to visit awes, patient
he heard by Uwe that Poole was in a cellar in Hairbrain-
court. Than was no window a, fire-place in the mitar.
The man was lying is his own clothes on some Wow sr
chips ; the floor was earthen. He was then in setae, el perfect
collapse. He again ordered medicine, but it was not sort for.
