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.
