COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The inquest on the body of the child found in the privy of
Captain J. S. Abbott's house, in Bath-road, has not yet ter-
minates; it was adjourned frem Saturday last to this day,
and is again adjourned to Saturday next. The mother, who
was a servant to Dr. Morrison, and lodging at this house,
has absconded, her name is Mary Ann Gilbert. Mrs. Wee-
therall, mother of Mrs. Morrison, is summoned down from
London to attend the jury on Saturday. There were no
marks of violence on the child ; it was a fine, healthy-looking
one, weighing about 6lbs., but nothing has been yet eluci-
dated to prove whether it was born dead or alive. It had
been in the privy about three weeks. Drs. Hoffmeister and
Cass were of opinion it had not breathed.
The inquest on the body of Miss Mary Lock, of the Union
Inn, who died suddenly on Tuesday morning, closed this
afternoon. The jury found that she died from "natural
causes." Reports had been circulated that she had poisoned
herself, and it being ascertained that she had purchased
laudanum at different chemists, the body was opened by
Dr. Hoffmpister, who found the lungs in a very diseased
state ; the state of the brain was also such as to justify the
verdict of the jury.
