DEATH OF A CHILD by POISONING
An inquest was held at the Vine Hotel on Tuesday last by Dr. Walker, of Spilsby, coroner for the district, on the body of Sarah Jane Toyne, three years of age, who resided with her parents at Croft Marsh, and who died from irritant poisoning. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased and a younger sister had eaten some mutton which had laeen in the house Borne days and smelt very strong. They were soon after this taken ill, and Dr. Wallace sent for.
The younger of the two recovered, but the other died in great pain. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from inflamation of the bowels caused by irritant poisoning, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show how the poisoning was caused.
Mr. S. G. Randall was foreman of the jury.
