Saturday 17 Aug 1844 (p. 3, col. 1) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) At the house of Mr. SCOTT, of Corry Lees, in the parish of Stapleton, on the 10th instant, on view of the body of a new born male child, of which Mary MURRAY, late of Great Corby, single woman, and maid servant, was the mother. This is the fourth child to which the girl has given birth. It appeared that on the previous day she had travelled on foot from Carlisle to Herst Hill, in the said parish, and on her return, called at Corry Lees, and solicited a night's lodging, which was kindly granted to her. She was then evidently far advanced in pregnancy. On the following morning she rose about four o'clock, and left Corry Lees to proceed to Carlisle. About seven o'clock, the daughter of Mr. SCOTT, when on her way to Carlisle market, about a mile distant from home found the woman sitting by the public road side, with the dead child in her lap, and crying; she said she had been taken suddenly in labour, and the child never moved after it was born. Miss SCOTT directed her to return to Corry Lees, which she accordingly did, carrying the child with her. On examination by Mr. GRAHAM, of Ullermire, surgeon, it was ascertained that the child had been born with life. There were no marks of violence upon the body, nor any other evidence from which it could be inferred that the mother had been instrumental in causing its death. The Jury returned a verdict that the child had been born with life, but how or by what means if came to its death no evidence appeared, thus leaving the matter open for future investigation. (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) An inquest was held at Penrith, on Tuesday last, on view of the body ot [sic] James JOHNSTON, aged 57 years, whose death took place on the preceding day under the following circumstances. The deceased was a waggoner in the service of Mr. MAYCHELL, carrier, between Carlisle and Lancaster. On Sunday evening, at about eight o'clock, deceased was on his return home, having in charge a waggon drawn by four horses, and in passing along the streets of Penrith he attempted to get down from the shaft, upon which he had been riding;-in doing so he stumbled and fell, and the near wheels passed over his right leg a little below the knee, fracturing and larcerating [sic] the other parts, from the effects of which he died in 12 hours. Verdict-Accidental Death.
