How to Feed a Child to Death: Mr. Joseph Ansell (coroner) held enquiry the Victoria Courts yesterday afternoon into the circumstances of the death of William Pincent (two years, two months), whose parents reside 14, Milton Grove Heath Street South. – The mother stated that on Saturday she gave the child for dinner a little bit of beefsteak, and for tea some hot tea, hot pork, and break and butter. The Coroner: Do you consider that suitable food for a child of two years? — Witness said that it only had a very small quantity of beef and pork. Continuing, she explained that at a quarter to seven on Sunday morning she found the child had been vomiting, and later in the day died. Mr. Prosser, surgeon, expressed the opinion that the death resulted from a convulsion produced by indigestion consequent upon the extraordinary dietary. — The Coroner said that the treatment was evidently the resuIt of gross ignorance for no one would suggest the mother in the present case contemplated any harm. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.
