tipey, and went to bed to the child, he (the husband) haeilg
been to the waking of his nephew, Patrick Lynch, who died
through drinking vitriol. Witness went out again upon her
business, and returned at seven o'clock, wheal she look. rl
through the window, and saw her husband with the child an
his arms fast asleep. !Alters', in order to finish h. r morn.
log's business, again went out, and returned at eight. She
lighted a fire, went up stairs, and took the child out of bed,
who held out her arms, glad to see her. She was alive and
well. Wastes then went over to her poor brother, who had •
three days before lust a boy (as before slated), and their
friends were waking him: she only stopped half an hour,
and returned bore about half-past eight. Witness then
thought, that as it was Sunday, she would go to bed fur a
short time, and, after giving deceased some milk, she went
accordingly, placing the child between her and her hus-
band. When she awoke, she found, to her grief, that the child
had crawled, while they were asleep, hew a tub of water
which was under a table; it was half a butter firkin, it con.
Weed not more than three quarts of water, and out three
lathes deep; it lay on its fate, wish its hands in it. Witness
discovered the accident about ten o'clock: the child was
dead, 9 but and frothed at the mouth.

Ceroain-04 Did you go to the wake when you got up at
three &clack, before yon west a milking, mud did you drink
any thing when yen took the child to the wake at eight
o'clock ?"
Witness--" I was there iheut half an hour each time, but
did not drink say thing lode me harm."
Cuainer—" As you say the child was dead, and Lot, and
frothed at the mouth, did you not send immediately for a
doctor?"
Witneks-4' Mrs. Burnes, who was begged to go for Dr.
Davies, said it was of no use, the child was dead, and ►be
did not go. Witness added, she was mad, sod could nut go;
and when ber husband asked what was the matter, she told
him be was not then sober. Mrs. Slaw and Mr. Morrison
were the two lint persons who saw the deceased, and no
looking at it they said she was gone. Her child used to dip
its bands in any water she could get at, trying to wash
herself." . . .

Juryman-4, What wae the water for :to drink, to wash,
or clean with,..or.to mix with the milk ?"
Witness (seemingly confoseit)--" It was to wash with."
Coroner—" Did you lock your dour when you went to
bed Did any ono come in and put the child in the water,
in your opinion?"
Witness, in the greatest agony, exclaimed, " Oh, no, no-
body!"
Mary Shaw, of S'2, in the tame court, widow, stated, ou
Snieday morning, about left o'clock, she beard a cry of Au-
weight's child being dead; she immediately saw the um-
titer striking her sides, and crying her child was dead. She
went into the room and saw the child in its inslihrep lap ;
she frothed at the mouth. She rubbed the child with witsm
water, but the friends from the wake said she gas dead, mind
therefore no doctor was sent for. The fattier end mother
wert always very fond of the deceased. There were no
marks of violence ou the child. _ . _

The Coroner sod the Jury were of opinion, that the child
might hare been saved, had it not been for the hasty deci-
sion of the child's being dead, which was attributed to the
*ads of the night's intemperance, in waking Patrick Lynch.
?be Jury returned s verdict of Accidental Death.
