DEATH OF A CHILD FROM LAUDANUM, GIN, AND
BEER.—Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Three Jolly
Anglers, Lea-bridge, East Middlesex, on the body of George James
Rumba], aged tsvo.and.a.half years,
whose parents reside in some
tenements belonging to Mr. Lee's bricktields, near Lea-bridge.
On Sunday morning the deceased went into the next neighbour's
house, where he had a small portion of gin and beer, mixed toge.
ther, given to him. He subsequently became sleepy, and was
placed in bed. He awoke once or twice during the day, but ex..
Aired the same evening. The mother of the deceased stated that
the infant had had the hooping.cough, and on the morning in
question she had given it two spoonsful of a mixture which she had
been recommended by another female, composed of vinegar, treacle,
I and laudanum. Soon after the child had drank the gin and beer,
on awaking he became very sick. She had had six children, only
one of whom was now living, the others having died young. One
of them expired on the Friday previous to deceased. Her husband
belonged to a " burial gathering," and she had received money for
their funerals. Mr. Kellock, surgeon, of Stoke Newington, said
he was called in on Monday morning, and received the same state-
ment from the mother as that just given in evidence. Death, he
thought, had been caused by irritation of the system, from the
effects of the inum and :improper stimulants, there being pre.
disposition to Wavulsions from hooping.cough. There was no
appearance of disease, otherwise, sufficient to account for death.
The jury returned a verdict of " Died from natural causes.",
