Saturday sennight an inquest was held at the fluke of Wellington
public-house, in Gorleston, near Yarmouth, before Mr. Sparrow,
the Coroner, on view of the body of James Pawney, about twelve
years of age, who died the preceding Wedneetley.
This inquest was held in consequence of a report being very
general, that the deceased had received violent treatment front his
father-in-law, Mr. Thomas Wake, which caused his death. The
inquest assembled at two o'clock, and did not terminate the inves-
tigatioe before twelve at night.
It appeared front the evidence, that in consequence of the de-
rea%eil rot having hung up a pair of garden shears, on Saturday,
the 7th instant, as desired. Mr Wake, when in the summer-hotter,
heat sett kicked him for her or ten minutes, from the violence of
which the deceased appeared to suffer a good deal, as it caused
hint to welk nearly double, and to hold his hand to his right aide.
I'h deceased complained of the pain in his side until lie went to
belt afterwards he did not appear to suffer much, and played
&m usual as urel until the Thirst ay following, when he took to his
tied, and cominued to get worse, com"laining of a soreness over
{tie who' body. A surgeon was called in, but his efforts to save
the youth proved unavailing, and he died on Wednesday last.
The severe tr ieement of the father-in-law sonn became the general
conversation in the neighbourhood, front which emanated report*
of a atnti.tia nature against him. From these reports being so
general, it ',an deemed advi,ahle to have the body of the deceased
carefully examined. In consequence, three eminent surgeons pro-
ceeded to omit the body, whica they minutely inspected in every
per*, end from their separate evidences it appeared that the de-
ceased for some time previous, been snlheing tinder an in-
ternel chrmtie disease, which produced it constipation of the bowels,
svl eventually hi, death. They were decidedly of opinion that his
deeth was not freestone*: by any violence upon the body, but the
effeet selely of the disease above stated.
Mrs. Wake, the mother of the deceased, was afterwards yea-
reined, who etated that the decee,tel was always a pale-looking
bov, and that she bad observed him to waste fir some time past.
Iler Inistsuul was a very irritable mem and frequently heat her
childeet for not learning their leavens, bat in so doing it did not'
appear that it was beyond the ordinary degree of correction, except
in the almve instance.
