Leicester Daily Mercury: Tuesday 3rd September 1895

Another child suffocated in Leicester: A Dangerous Practice: An Inquest was held on Monday evening at the Slater Street Schools respecting the death of Arthur Ellis Pincent, aged 9 weeks, son of Harry Pincent, who resides at 41 Wolsey-street. — The mother stated that the deceased, another child between three and four years of age, her husband and herself slept in the same bed. The baby slept on the outside, and on Saturday night. Witness went to sleep with the child at her breast, which she was in the habit of doing regularly. – Coroner: That’s a very dangerous practice – Continuing, Witness said that when she awoke in the morning, she found the child in exactly the same position, but it was quite dead. The witness had not been able to get a separate bed for the child. She had not had anything to drink on Saturday with the exception of a glass of beer for her supper — Mr. Coleman, surgeon, said that the death was due to suffocation. The mother going to sleep with the child still at the breast was quite sufficient to account for the suffocation. The coroner said it was hardly surprising that the child had when they took into consideration the statement of the mother. They could not acquit her entirely of blame, but her negligence had not been sufficient to justify them in committing her for trial. A verdict of accidental death was returned, and the mother was censured for her carelessness.

Dundee Courier: Friday 2nd August 1895

The Charges Against Bank Directors: A Times telegram from St. John’s Newfoundland, says: – The magisterial inquiry into the charges brought against the Union Bank Directors began yesterday. The Crown withdrew its case against the manager, Mr. Pinsent and proposes to call him as a witness. It is generally expected that the others will be committed for trial before the Supreme Court. The Telegram, Sir W. Whiteway’s organ, says that Mr. Harvey, an ex-member of the executive, welcomes the inquiry and further says that there is not the slightest doubt that the evidence will show that his position is far different from that of the other Directors. Counsel for the Crown and the other Directors are expected to unite in a motion to punish the Telegram for contempt of Court. Mr. Morine, ex-Colonial Secretary, is suing the Telegram for $5,000 for insinuating that he was the author of the damaging dispatches sent abroad.
