looking in saw the deceased lying 
against the door with her throat 
cut, and the floor covered with 
blood; he turned away horror- 
struck, He made the circum- 
stance known to his master, who 
sent for Mr. Barrow, a surgeon. 
Dr. Hodgson, Mr. Barrow, and 
several of the domestics, proceed- 
ed to the hay-loft. The deceased 
was quite dead, with her throat 
cut from ear to ear, and an open 
razor was lying by her side, and 
at her feet was the body of a new- 
born male infant, also dead, with: 
a silk handkerchief tied round its 
neck, and the body wrapped up 
in a hay-band. No particular acts 
of insanity, on the part of the de- 
eeased, were laid before the jury: 
but it appeared that her having 
the razor in her possession might 
be accounted for, as it was ne- 
cessary for a woman to have a 
sharp mstrument for the purpose 
of delivery, that she might so 
have it without any idea of com- 
mitting suicide, and thather pains, 
and the want of proper assistance 
at the time, might have brought 
on a momentary derangement.— 
On the body of the infant there 
appeared no particular. marks of 
violence, and the jury were led to 
suppose, that the cause of the 
handkerchief being tied round 
the child’s neck, was for the pur- 
pose of delivering herself. The 
inquiry was long and minute from 
the various reports in circulation; 
at length the jury, undet the di- 
rection of the Coroner, returned 
a verdict of Zunaey; they gave a 
verdictof Found Dead on the body 
of the child. The deceased was 
36 years of age, and had lived be- 
tween seven and eight years in 
the family.
