A STRANGE RAILWAY PARCEL—MI.IBII excitement
has been occasioned at Carlisle by the discovery of a
child's body, udner very singular circumstances. About
twelve mouths since, a long deal box was left at the
Bush Hotel, in that city, by one of the porters in the
employ of the Caledonian Railway Company. No one ,
claimed it, and at last.it was opened. Inside was found
the body of a child. Medical gentlemen were called in,
and made a post mortem examination. The body was
so decayed that they could come to no conclusion as to
the sex of the child. The presumption, however was
that it is the body of a female,: four or five years Of age.
The general appearance led to the conclusion that the
remains were thoSe of a well-formed and once stout
active child.. 'lt has been hinted, from the position of
the body, that it may have been put into the box whilst
still alive'; but this is mere surmise. The above facts
havin been deposed to at an inquest which. was held on
;,.'atitrday, the inquiry was adjourned,
