The younger child was found to have died from suffocation, and the elder was in an exhausted state … A neighbour in the court said that about ten minutes after the witness left the room, she saw smoke coming out of the window, so that the child must have gone to the candle directly.

Ellen Pinsent, residing in the same house as the last witness, proved assisting to take the deceased child out of the room. Mr. C. E. Bell, the surgeon, who was called in to see the two children, said he arrived about half-past twelve o’ clock. He found them in a down-stair room.

The coroner said she knew the laws, and if she could not take care of her children she could apply for relief, and they would be taken care of. …
