The inquiry commented on nunday the Bth inst. and
war adjourned to the following Thursday. It was 'dated
in evidence that the deceased had been put into • cold water
bath before and since Christmas by George Solloway, who had
are of him, and who had fetched seven or eight pads of cold
water from a rain-waterbutt, and poured it upon demand
the week before last. Solloway had stated he would
either kill fain or cure him. The water was thrown
upon the deceased's head when in the bath. He
was put into it for wetting the bed. It was from an hour
sad a quarter to en hour sod a half from the
time he was taken out of his ward to the time be
was brought back, when he was laid on the bed.
He bad nothing on but his shirt; he was then in
• dying state, and was dead in about five mi-
nutes sifter that. time. The day was very cold, and
there was no fireplace or window in the bath-room, which
was quite dark when the door was shut Deceased had been
walking in the yard in the morning. gee Governor, John
Samuel- Pullen, deposed, that deceased was under the cars
of a nurse, and attended by Solloway, He was clamed as an
idiot, and was partially paralysed, sithoqo he understood
what was said to him. He could not speak. He denied
having had any complaint made to his by the mother of

was not aware of the bath being used, or he should not
have allowed it. Mr. Ridout,the medical officer of the union,
deposed that deceased was suffering from paralysis and was
idiotic, although quite harmful's. Apoplexy would be pro-
duced by deceased being placed so long in cold water, which,

short consultation, returned • verdict of manslaughter
against Solloway, and the coroner issued his warrant for the
committal of the prisoner to Reading poi to take his trial
