On
this 23 July 18 707I attended at Cornecassee to inquire into
the death of James HAMILTON Esqr who was found dead
next his own house the evening of Friday 20th instance. It appeared
he had gone out for a short walk and was returning from being
with the haymakers and was returning to his house and was within
a few perches of it when he sank to the ground a corpse. From
the testimony of Surgeon his death resulted from gout and which
termination W. YOUNG had too looked to as being the probable
termination of his life; Wm TRIMBLE also stated (he
was Mr. HAMILTON’s land Steward) that Mr. H had spoken
of gout as the probable cause of the latter end when such event
would occur. |

Held
on view of the body of an infant child 25 July 1877 in the village
of Newbliss, Parish of Aghabog, Barony of Dartrey.
Edwd McCREEDY. Deposed
that on last Monday, going to where the little boy was herding,
passing by an old well I observed what I took to be the body
of a dog, but looking again I saw it look like the back of
a child and I then saw the foot. On this I went and told a
neighbour and then went home and had not interfered with it.
James LEONARD. Sub-Consl .
Deposed that on yesterday at 2:00 p.m. Wm WRIGHT of
Feagh reported that the body of child was in an old well in the
townland of Feagh. I proceeded to the place and found as reported
and at once had the body removed to the Barrack of Newbliss;
the body was naked save a piece of white calico on it. The body
being removed and the well searched in the bottom we found some
coarse sacking in three pieces with stones of eight to 10 pounds
in them. There was no head connected with the body but portions
of it were found in the bottom; the body now viewed by the jury
is the one got in the well.
Dr. Richard HENRY. Deposed to
having examined the body of a female infant child which was about
three or four months old before death and must have been some
months in the water. The brain and viscera are [?]ting and the
bones of the heads were denuded quite separated from the body.
Would be impossible to say whether the child died a natural death
or not.
Verdict. The deceased came by
its death under circumstances unknown to the jury for want of
more evidence or when its deaths took place. |

Of
a man a stranger and a Mendicant 10 August 1877 in the townland
of Crosslea, Parish of Curran, Barony Dartrey.
Chas SIMPSON. Deposeth
on the evening of 9th instance when engaged cutting
grass in one of my fields and about going to another I saw
deceased lying at the foot of the field and dead. I had seen
him before as he had been going beger [sic]. (He said his father
had been a shoemaker in Glasgow) I saw him last on Coothill
fair day.
Willm SLOWEY[?] Deposeth
to seeing deceased near three weeks since I talked with him.
He told me he would not look for a house but slept out [?] in
the fields. He said he was subject to the falling sickness. I
never knew him before. He told me his father had been a shoemaker
in Glasgow, but his complaint prevented him from the same. The
person now seen by the jury, I think may be the same but from
his present state could not swear at.
Verdict. Consider he came to
his death about three weeks since and as to the cause can but
say found dead. The jury have no reason to think that he came
to his death from other than natural causes from the complaint
to which he was subject. |
