DEATH IPHOM HYDROPHOBIA.

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys,
coroner, at the Deed*. Mural, last evening, touching the
death from hydrophobia of Mary Jane Braellard, aged eight
yeah. Mrs. Ann Gillman, 49, Sutton street, °cameral..
road, the wife of • bricklayer, said that deceased was bar
daughter by a former marriage. On the afternoon of the
2nd June deceased and some other children were playing
in the passage, or hall, gibes • strange dog ran in out of
the street after bidet a little boy. The deceased ran up
the stairs. but the dog bit her on the tall of the leg, caning
her to fall down. The animal then bit her on the front of
the leg sad ran away. Dr. Roes, the police surgeon, was going
by, and he saw the child sad pearled for her. The wounds
bled much. She attended at the Ludo. Hospital as as out-
patient until last week, sad the wounds healed. But on
Monday week she got worse and had mine in the heed. Oa
Thursday she refined water and every hied of fluid. She .
got much exerted off and on, especially when water was ,
offered her. On Friday she was taken into the hospital. In
her pernuems she used to scratch witness, but afterwards
she tried to excuse herself for doing so. Once she said.
" Mother, I don't wain to bite you ; go and stand M the
center of the room, or I will bite you." Witsess did u
desired, and after the paroxysm was ever the deemed told
her that she could oome back, as she would not
then bite her. She drank half a bottle of lemonade
ball as hoer before her death, but she first made
ell the puma doctors and otbers, leave the room. She
died on Saturday. Mr. G. W. Meekenzie, house-surgeon,
said that deceased had • great fear of water ; aloe bad •
spasm in the throat, which prevented her swallowing. She
&ask freely before death. Chloroform used to mitigate
the paroxysms while ire inflame* lasted. Death emu from
Monaca from hydrophobia. Poliewooestalde Newman,
128 IL, said that on the day of the Oaks he saw a great
crowd chasing • small rabid dog, that bad bias the
deemed He killed it with repeated blow' of his staff.
The Caner said that it was as edditionslly distressing
feature in the ease that the pear girl was bitten, not in the
street, but in her own house, when her safety might rea-
sonably have bees expected. He was of °plan that the
dog uoisasce could easily be abated by a slight change in
the mods of collecting the deg-tax. The tax of 12.. was
quite high enough, bat the sum paid to the collectors for
colleens( it was so ridiculously sail--about a hailstorm
per dog, he believed— that it was not worth their while to oak
for it. If in reasoesble sum were to be allowed for collec-
tion, sad lb* ecespiers of houses were made liable foe the
tea en all gap kepi on their premises, the revenue would
be largely incites's& sod all those worthlres dogs which
now swarmed everywhere would be destroyed by their
omen, re that the tax for them might be soaped. The
jury retuned • verdict of "Death from hydrophobia from
the bits of a dog, sad the jury request the wrote/ to cam-
musicate with the Home Secretary es the 'abject of the
peat dapper Maui from the number of unuseerean doge
about the streets, and suggesting that sow remedy be ap-
plied by means of enforcing the dog tax, or by procuring
authority for the pollee to destroy them." The Coroner
said that he would attend to the suggestion of the :cry, and
write to Sir George Grey on the subject.
