This morning Mr. Bird, the coroner, held an inquest on
the body of Daniel Dowsett, who, it will be recollected,

Alfred Randall, an errand boy, deposed to having seen Mrs.
Dowsett lying in the meadow with her throat cut, and her
husband by her side. Police-constable Wilson said he

Caine, and as he was bleeding he took him to the Infirmary.
Dr. Mackinlay said the cause of the death of Dowsett was
the wounds on the neck. The jury returned a verdict to

but that there was no evidence to show the state of his
mind at the time.
