SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE AT MOUNT ROSKILL.

Coroner's Inquest,

The adjourned inquest into the circum stances attending the death of the illegiti mate infant oi Mary E. A. McCarthy (domestic servant in the employ of Mr J. Patoraon) was opened at three o'clock yos torday afternoon at MrPatorson's residence, Mount Roskill, before Dr. Philson (coronerv and a jury of six. Detective Hughes and Constable Dewes wero also present. Evi dence was taken as follows :—

Margaret Paterson, wife of John Pater son, omnibus proprietor, of Mount Roskill, deposed that Mary Esther Anno McCarthy was a domestic servant in her employ, and that hor age was 23 years. She had beon in witness'? service for the past 4J months, and witness had had no previous acquaint ance with hoi1. She engagod the girl at Hannaford's Registry, and did not notice anything particular in her appearance at first. A week or two afterwards she suspocted that tho girl was encienle, and taxed her with it. The girl, however, denied tho charge, saying that she was always stout. She attended steadily to her work until Sunday, November Ist. On that evening eho retired between 8 and 9 o'clock toher room,apparently in goodhealth. Witness heard no noise during the night, and got up at G o'clock next morning. As tho girl diii not appear at the usual time, wit ness wont into the dining-roomto call her, and then heard herself called by the girl. Witness opened the girl's bedroom door, and found her standing on the floor in front of her bed, and in her working dress, and at her feet lay a newly - born child quite naked. Near it there was a quantity of blood. Witness said " Oh, you noughty girl; go and lie down in your bed." She did so without speaking. Previously she had said "I am too ill to get up." Witness sent her husband for Mrs Benton, who on her arrival lifted up the child. Witness placed her hand on it, found that it was cold, and satisfied herself that it was dead. The girl was quiet, and did not seem either stupefied or bewildered. She was in full possession of her faculties. Witness gave her a cup of tea. Dr. Stock well arrived at 7.45 a.m., and at once went into tho girl's bedroom. Margaret Benton, wife of James Benton, gardener, gave corroborative evidence. rihe wrapped the child in a towel and laid it on tho floor.

Dr. Win. Stockwell deposed : I was called to Mrs Paterson's house, at Mount Roskill, on Monday, November 2nd, at 7.45 a.m., and on entering the bedroom of the servant girl (Mary McCarthy), whom I here identify, 1 saw a great mass of Wood ou the floor. The blood covered, in irregular patches, a space two feet square upon the middle of the floor,, which was covered by matting. The blood was coagulated, and there was about a pint of it. It was covered over with two cloths. I found the body of a newly-born male infant behind the door, and wrapped up in a towel, It was cold and stiff with rigor mortis. It must have been dead upwards of two hours. It had attainod to maturity, for I made careful examination of the body to Eettle this point. The only mark that I could find upon it was that ono side of the face— i.e., the mouth and right cheek—was flat tened, as it by preesuro from some fiat sub stance, while there was a good deal of dried blood about head and body. After this was washed off I searched again, but found no other markv, except a trif ling bruise or discolouration on tho right elbow, The lips and the whole of the fea tures were very dark from the blood gravi tating by position. The navel string, which was from 10 inches to 1 foot long, was attached to tho body, and had not been tied. It had been ruptured, as it was drawn to a point, as if dragged asunder. There wa? a pair of scissors on the table, but the string had not been cut. The head of the child was well and naturally shaped, and did not present the ccijnit succcdancum indicative of a tedious labour. lam of opinion, although I have no moans of knowing, that the greater part of the blood on tho floor came from tho mother, and not from the child. I found no sign of strangulation or of any thing having beon stuffed into the mouth. The mother was lying on top of the bed clothes, partially dressed. I examined her, and found that the after-birth had been retained. Thoro was blood, too, on the Ekirts of her dross. Sho was calm, quiet, but reticent. Sho admitted that the child was hois, and upon being asked if it had cried, sho replied that she did not know. The tamo answer was roturncd to the ques tion if she had been long ill. Asked if the child was born alive, sho replied that she was too stupid at the time to know. Sho disclosed the name of the father. Since tho inquest adjourned I have made an examination of the body, 35 hours after doath. I found the intestines and liver heali hy. The lungs were fully expanded, and wero of a pale pinky colour, mottled, and full of air. I placed the lungs in water, when they floatod freely, and buoyed up the heart. There was no congestion of the lungs, showing that death had not been caused by suffocation. There was no frac ture of tho bones of tho skull or echymosis of tho scalp. I be lieve that tho child was born alive, and had breathed naturally, but the position of the child on the floor showed that there must have been some interference with its respiration. I believe that the child died from neglect after its birth. I have observed no mental debility about the mother, although I believe her mental condition is rather below the average. I think it was her first child, and with ngard to all matters of the kind she fieemed very ignorant, Constable Arthur Dews deposed that he was in attendance when the post mortem examination was made, and that he had been sent out to keep a watch on the girl, as she had attempted to leave her mistress'f house. On Sunday night she tried to get away through the window, and ho had to nail it down and lock her in.

Thiß closed tho evidence, and the jury, after a brief conference, brought in tho tho following verdict: —"That the infant died from neglect aftor birth, but whether from wilful intent, ignorance, or inex perience Of the mother, there is no evidence to show."

Tho Coroner stated that1 in accordance with tho Coronor's Act the jury had nothing further to do except to see that a copy of the depositions and their verdict were for warded to tho Resident Magistrate of tho district, for him to take further proceedings if necossary.

RATEPAYERS OF EDEN TERRACE.

A meeting of ratepayers of tho above highway district was held last evening, in Hazell's Riding School, tor the purpose of considering tho question of whether or not a special rate was requirod for works in tho district.

Mr Clovoland was voted to the chair, and stated that he was entirely unacquainted with tho business before the meeting, as the meeting had been called by the Board. Mr Paten, Chairman of the Board, ox plained that tho meeting had been called to consider tho question of tho special rato. He might at onca state that it had been found that the Epccial rate struck was illegal, and it was therefore wrongly collected. Under these circum stances there was nothing for it but to return tho rate to thoso who had paid it, and cease collecting it from tho others. A ratepayer asked if the rate would be carried to them, as they had been compelled to bring it to tho Board. Mr Paton oxplained that it could be obtained at tho office of the Board. He then presented tho statement of accounts, as required at the last meeting, showing the amount of rates raised in each street, and tie amount of tho expenditure in the eaino stroots.

Tho Chairman reminded tho meeting of the fact that tho first point for which they had contended was, that the rate was illegal. This had now been conceded by the Board. He would like Mr Paten to ox plain the aggregate rates and expenditure, and the amount expended during the last five months,

Mr Paten explained that the main road must be attended to. The sum total of tit rates was about £300. Tho Collector interjected that the total amount was nearer £600. He then asked whether the meetiDg was of opinion that a special ratewas required. If they were simply to scoria the footpaths, then the rates were sufficient, but if they required to improve the district, then the Board would not have sufficient money. The Chairman moved, and Mr J J. Hunter seconded, "That no special rate ho raised in the district this year." Tho mover stated that it had not been shown what was the Board's monetary position. Mr Paten had stated that the total amount of the rates was about £300, while the Collector said about £600.

■ Mr Hunter stated that tho auditing of accounts was simply a matter of totting up Dgures. He was in favour .of having auditors olccted from the ratepayers, who

would then be^bTS^?B^ expenditure. ™ ™6ck IK. „, V^ The motion wasoarried .
