Saturday 16 Nov 1844 (p. 3, col. 1) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) At Great Corby, Wetheral, on the 8th instant, on the body of Margaret BROWN, singlewoman, aged 27 years. The deceased had been seized with convulsions in the course of Thursday night, and when her brother arose at six in the morning, she was in a state of insensibility, from which she did not recover, and died the next night. A rumour was circulated that she had died from poison; but there were no grounds for the report, and the jury returned a verdict of "natural death." On the 13th, at Penrith Workhouse, on the body of Lancelot WATERSON, aged twelve years, who was killed by a horse and cart. The deceased was the son of a labourer in Sebergham. On Tuesday Mr. HODGSON, of Lonning Foot, employed deceased to go to Scawes to fetch home a cart which he had bought at a sale the previous day. Deceased was on his return down the hill adjoining the Fair Hill, at Penrith Townhead, when the horse, from some cause, ran off; the deceased had either fallen or was thrown off and the wheel passed over his head, fracturing his skull and scattering his brains upon the road. A person in the White Ox, hearing the noise of the horse and cart galloping past the door, ran out and found deceased lying on the road with signs of life. He went for a doctor, but on his return deceased was dead. It appeared that Mr. HODGSON had bought the horse a few days before, and knew little or nothing of its temper, and that it had often run away on former occasions. The jury considered Mr. HODGSON culpable in sending so young a child, under the circumstances, and imposed a deodand of 20s. on the horse and cart. At St. Cuthbert's Lane, Carlisle, on the 18th, on the body of Mrs. Dorothy LIDDELL, widow, aged 78 years, who committed suicide by hanging herself, on Tuesday night. Deceased left her kitchen about ten o'clock, and went out at the back door. In half-an-hour her daughter and servant became uneasy at her absence and went in search of her, when they found her suspended by a rope from the hay rack, dead. Verdict "Insanity." At Wigton Workhouse, on the 14th, on the body of Martha STEEL, widow, aged 73 years, whose death took place under the following circumstances-The deceased resided with her son, James STEEL, collier, at Bolton Lane End, who received 2s. a-week from the Wigton Union; on the 5th inst., he obtained an authority from the Relieving officer for her removal to the Workhouse, a note was given by the officer to John JAMES to convey her in a cart. On Saturday last JAMES' son called with his cart, and Jas. STEEL's wife carried her to the cart in which she was removed to the Workhouse, where she died on the following Tuesday morning. The inquest was adjourned to Thursday last, for the production of further evidence. At the present stage of the enquiry we abstain from detailing the circumstances as it might seem unfair towards parties, to a certain extent implicated, who have not had an opportunity of explaining their conduct. ----- (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) At Cardurnock, on Friday, the 9th inst., on the body of Charles WRIGHT, ship-carpenter, aged 27 years, who was drowned in attempting to ford the Wampool. Verdict accordingly.
