An Inquisition was taken yesterday in Tothill-fields
before JOHN HENRY Grid., Esq. Coroner for Westminster,
on the body of Catherine Swaine. Mr. John Lavies, partner
of Mr. Hanbury, surgeon to the prison, deposed that she died

case admitted of, and there was not the smallest doubt that she
died a natural death. The Coroner said that it was clearly
established by the evidence of the medical man, that the bruises
on the deceased's body, however acquired, were not a subject
for their inquiry. The Jury coincided with the Coroner, and
returned a Verdict—'That the deceased died a natural death.
