siren to nurse, and on Sunday morning, in consequence of some
alarm, a neighbour entered her room, and found her in the
agonies of death. Assistance was procured„ but she was quite
Jeid. On lifting her body, the chill, John Dickson, was found
Underneath quite dead. The child must have been clasped in
tne arms of thb poor eld woman at the time that she was seized
with a fit, and in the agony of sker attack she had lain upon it
in such a way as to produce suffocation, Two surgeons pro-
nounced that the woman died of appoplexy, and that the infant
`died :roin suffocation, produced by external pressuce. When
the persons burst open the door, another clad-, 18 months old,
whom Mrs. Slymm had under her care, was playing at" cock
horse," as it is called by children, upon the poor old woman's
hack. The Jury returned a verdict of died by the visitation of
God, as respected Mrs. Slymm; and of aceideeal death, as to
