AN UNNATUR iL DAUGETER.

Yesterday morning an inquiry was held at the
Jacob's Ladder Tavern, New Inn-yard, Shoreditch,
by Mr. John Humphreys, the Midsex coroner,
touching the death of Mrs. Mary Evt‘ns, aged 71,
which took place under circumstances: that have
given rise to a belief that her end was hastened by
cruqlty. The first witness ctaled was
David Evans, 21, Nelson-street, son of deceased,
who said that she Nvas the widow of a respectable
cow-keeper, but had,
since her husband's death,
been in very reduced circumstances. She rag

was said that her daughter would not allow there
to be taken. He made a IN% t•mortem examina-
tion, and found all the vessels' congested, but no
marks of violence to account io r death. There
were, however, signs of great Privati on. The
immediate cause- of death was an e frusion into the
pericardium, which exhaustion an want of the
necessaries of life would tend to produce. The jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the medical
testimony, and expressed their indignation at the
unnatural and unfeeling conduct of deceased's
daughter. ---_-_-f___------
