IDENTIFICATION or DEAD BODIES

No department of legal medicine has excited so much
attention in Europe and in this country as the dent
cation of the dead. The diversified forms which the
decay of the human body after death assumes, appear
to be no less than the variety of causes by
which life becomes extinct. Season age, the charac-
ter of the disease protraced Illness and sudden death,
exercise greater less influence in facilitating or
retarding decomposition. In cases of death by acct
dent or violence and in examinations, the physician
may be called upon to assist in identifying not only the
entire body but in certain cases even only such parts
of rs NAV be found, with view of determining the
sex age and probable stature of the person to whom
the fragments belonged Under some circumstances
the Identification of body is very difficult. Even
few hours after death great changes take place the
brow becomes dry and wrnkled the eyes hollow nose
pointed, lips relaxed and pendant the skin dry ana
hard and in fact, such entire alteration oil the
physogomy is effected as to render the individual
almost recognizable.
Bodies are frequently found in the water about this
city. giving rise to the inquiry at the Coroner's
INQUEST, whether death resulted before or after i'm
nersion, ard whether from accident or design
There will ALWAYS be marks and bruises about the
body. especially if it has been long immersed,
ard the appearances on dissection are often equyo-
cal and unsatisfactory. Thus, the inquest re-
Gently held at Wlliamsburgh on the body OF an
unknown man. supposed to be that Of the Captain oil
the bark Eudoa Is remarkable instance of this fact
A number of witnesses were willing to TESTIFY that
they believed il to be the body Of the murdered
csr,sn and such no doubt would have been the PEE
vaipc opinion, if his biolher-inlaw had not testified
tia. there were peculiar marks upon the capiaia
ann which could not be found upon that OF the
deceased. The ply stefan who examined the oody
was unable to satisfy the minds of the jury regarding
the cause Of death and they accordingly returned
verdict that the deceased came to his death from
"c,us,s known to the jury.
