vent of Mr. Ashley, the next door neighboee, ant

Coeoszefe Ixereirr.—An Inquisition has been held
at the White Horse, Castle-street. Leicester-Neste,
before T. iliggs, Esq., Coroner, on the hotly of Cache-
ri:ie Mills, aged:44, who, on Monday last, was found
dead in her bed, at a house where she resided in Castle-
street. It appeared that the poor woman had been
for a long time afflicted with an inward complaint
which incapacitated her from being enabled to support
herself, and having no relatives was often obliged to
beg for a morsel of bread from the other lodgers in the
house, who being also poor people could seldom com-
ply with her reques'. The landlord allowed her to re-
tain the aparttnent rent free in which she was found
dead. She had received relief from St. Martin's
parish several times, the Overseers of which had hu-
manely offered to pass her to her home ; but the poor
woman havieg been in respectable circumstances re-
fused to become an inmate of a workhouse, obsereilg
she should recover. her health and be enabled to ears
her livelihood. The last time she was seen alive was
on Friday, and not being observed afterwards the
lodgers became alarms& and forced open the door.
when they foniid ber lying on the bed a corpse. Every
thing in the room bore the appearance of the utmost
poverty. and the grate seemed not to have had any Ire
in it fur a considerable period, The. Jury bring
of
opinion that the poor' woman bad not Jaatle knows the
great extremity of her distress, and nut receiving tow
per indical assistance, returned the fsltpwing verdict:
—" Died by the Visitation of hod, her death bell%
accelerated by the want of proper netessarias fir s
person in her sifficted state."
