Elizabeth Tanner, Kendal, Westmorland, England, 1822

Another Inquest was held on the body of Elizabeth Tanner, of Wildman-street, aged 60. It appeared that a quarrel had taken place, between her and John Chorley, about a month ago, when the latter had struck and abused her. But on a strict investigation of the case, it appeared from the evidence of Mr. Cragg, Surgeon, that the deceased came by her death in consequence of a pleurisy fever, occasioned by rinsing clothes in the Kent, whilst sweating profusely. Mr Cragg gave it as his decided opinion, that this was the sole cause of her death, and not the blows received in the quarrel. Verdict: Died by the Visitation of God.

Hannah Vicars, Bentham, Westmorland, England, 1863

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN AT BENTHAM.
An inquest was held at the Victoria Inn, on Wednesday, before the deputy coroner, to inquire into the death of Hannah Vicars, whose body was taken out of the river Wenning, on the 29th ult., not far from the railway station. She seems to have been a respectable young woman, 21 years of age, in the service of her father, John Vicars, of Grasmere. She had the management of a lodging-house, and left home without her father's knowledge on the 12th ult. She had formerly been in service at Bentham House, and formed acquaintances in the village, and had occasionally come over on a visit, consequently her father was not uneasy at her absence until recently, thinking that she had again visited Bentham. He wrote to inquire, and came over on the 28th ult. to seek for her, but hearing no tidings, he returned home, and the day following he received a telegram stating that she had been found. No evidence could be adduced at the inquest to show how she came into the water. The only person who spoke to seeing her was Edward Brisco, railway porter, who reproved her for stepping out of the train at Bentham station before it came to a stand; it was the last train at night. She made no reply, but walked hurriedly on, and in presenting her ticket she was recognised by him. When found she was full and well dressed, had a brooch, a gold ring on her engaged finger, and 2l. 15s. 8d. in her purse. No marks of violence were found upon her person. The jury, being guided by the coroner, returned an open verdict, "Found dead in the river Wenning." Her body was taken by her father in a shell to Grassmere. --- Lancaster Guardian

(We understand that a young man at Bentham with whom the deceased was acquainted has since been arrested on suspicion, and that the body is to be exhumed.)

Mary Billinge, Liverpool, Lancaster, England, 1864

Richard Walker, Westmorland, England, 1843

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. On Wednesday last, the 9th instant, a shocking accident befell a little boy of thirteen years of age, named Richard Walker, son of a waller of the same name at Burneside. He was working in Mr. Nicholson's paper mill; and while engaged in cleaning out the cylinders by which the paper is pressed, and which are apart from each other about half an inch, his hands were drawn in between them, and so dreadfully bruised that immediate amputation was found necessary. The operation was performed by Mr. Noble, surgeon, of this town. Mr. Gough and Mr. Atkinson, surgeons, were likewise in attendance on the boy, and every attention was paid to him by Mr Nicholson, the proprietor of the mill. We understand that no blame is imputable to any party connected with the mill, and that it was no part of the boy's business to clean out the cylinders. Walker was doing well yesterday (Friday), and there were great hopes of his ultimate recovery.
