SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD IN
HOLBORN.

CORONER'S INQUEST THIS AFTERNOON.
Dr. Lankester held an inquest this afternoon
at the King's Head, Broad-street, Bloomsbury,
into the circumstances connected with the death
of John Willmer, a child about three years of
age, whose extraordinary disappearance from home
for more than a fortnight has been the cause of
great interest in the neighbourhood. Bills and
advertisements were circulated by the father, who
carried on the business of a tailor at 191, Holborn, all
to no purpose until last Tuesday afternoon, when a
labourer engaged in pulling down the premises
lately in the occupation of Camerer, Fuss, and
Tritschler, 201, Holborn, discovered the body of
the unfortunate child in the cesspool of the house.
The firm had given up possession of the premises
some time before the child was missed, and
they were, therefore, unoccupied. Between No.
201 and the adjoining house, also being pulled
down, a gateway leads to the back of the premises
of the two houses, and it is supposed that the poor
child strayed down the passage, and, as the doors
were all open, he went into the closet of 201 and
accidentally fell into the cesspool beneath,
and there met with a horrible death. Dr.
Harvey, the surgeon of the F division of police,
stated that he was called to see the unfortunate
child before it was taken from the cesspool, and it
was his opinion that the child, from the position in
which he saw him, must have climbed upon the seat
and then unfortunately fallen through the hole.
The place was in a most disgusting and filthy state.
The Coroner said he entirely agreed with him in that
opinion. It was most desirable to see who was re-
sponsible for the condition of the cesspools of both
the houses, because had they been in a proper state
the poor child could not have fallen through.
Dr. Harvey was of opinion .that the death oft e
child was caused by suffocation. Dr.
adjourne
t.
inquiry in order that the most searching inquiry
might be made relative to the abominable state of
the back premises of both houses. The jury coin-
cided in that opinion, and the inquiry was accord-
ingly adjourned for a week. Inspector Brannan,
of the F division, attended to watch the proceedings
on the part of the Comunissioners of Police.,
