YARMOUTH. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A CHILD. – An inquest was held at the George Hotel, on Friday last, before F. Blake, Esq., coroner, touching the death of a new born child, which was found in a well at Boulder, near this town, on the morning previous, by a labouring man named Tribbick, who was at work with three others on the road close by, and having had occasion to go and fetch some water from a well, which is very seldom used, when, to his surprise, he discovered the body floating on the surface of the water, which he imagined to be a man’s head, and immediately made it known to another labourer not far from the spot, when they drew it out with a reap-hook, and on being examined found it to be that of a dead body of a female child. It was placed in a white canvas bag, tied with a piece of old rag, and over that was an outer kind of covering, not unlike a part of the skirt of a woman’s black gown, between which was placed seven small stones and a few ears of corn. The stones corresponded with those in a brook about 150 yards distant from where the corpse was found. The body appeared to have been deposited in the well for three weeks or a month by some person unknown, for the purpose of concealing its birth. During the inquisition, Dr. Hollis made a post mortem examination, and gave sufficient evidence to prove that the child was born alive; but it’s being in such a state of decomposition, it was almost impossible to give ample proof whether the child met its death by violence, although it strongly appeared to have been destroyed by being drowned in the well. The coroner remarked to the jury that there was insufficient proof given in the evidence for them to give a verdict of wilful murder. Under those circumstances, after a short consultation, an open verdict was given in accordance to its being found dead in the water.
