THE INQUEST_ ON SERGEANT

ANDREWS:

The inquest was resumed on Saturday, when Mr.
Herbert Norman East, surgeon, was called in and
examined. In reply to questions from Mr. Mills, he
said that he had, on the previous day, stated that he
had been in attendance on the deceased from within
a few minutes of the time of the violence upon him-
self until his death.

Mr. Mills—You have, since the meeting of the
inquest, made a post mortem examination ?—Yes, I
have, in conjunction with Mr. Headland and another
gentleman.
Have you found, from that examination, what
vessel it was that the bleeding proceeded from ?--Not
exactly from what vessel, but it was from the left lung.
Did the bleeding proceed in any way from the
wound in the throat ?—Not at all. There was no
bleeding from any vessel in or near the wound.
Where did the bleeding, then, proceed from ?---
From the left lung, and there might have been a small
quantity from the right one. The left lung, upon
examination, was dense, as it were, with blood. It
was in this state almost throughout; indeed all of it,
except the lower part. The air cells, too, were com-
pletely filled with blood.
Was there evidence, from the appearance of the
lungs, that there had been a prior existing disease ?
Disease had no doubt been going on for some time in
the lungs, but more particularly in the left lung.
The witness then entered into a detailed descrip-
tion of the internal appearances of the body, from
which appearances he said there could be no doubt
but that death had been caused, not by any effusion
of blood from the wound, but from an effusion from
some vessels of the left lung.
Mr. Wakley—What, then, do you now say caused '
the death of the deceased ?—I should say death was
caused by the large pouring out of blood from the left
lung, which produced suffocation.
Mr. Wakley then said, from the evidence which
they had now heard, it appeared perfectly clear that
death had ensued from suffocation produced by natu-
ral causes ; and the jury returned the following ver-
dict :—" That the death of the deceased was caused
by haemorrhage from natural causes, which produced
a flow of blood into the lungs."
