this use of the word occurred some
time ago before the sheriff of a north

and the medical officer of the county,
was engaged in 4 country village in

the death of person found drowned.
The corpse was in the room, and there
was considerable difficulty in prevent

deceased from crowding in upon them.
One man in particular presented him

have something to tell. "Well, my

here?"
Please, your honor" the man grave
ly replied, I'm the body's breether."
