CORONER’S INQUESTS
Another inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the King’s Tavern, corner of Castlereagh and Hunter streets, on the body of MARIA MURRAY, an assigned servant to Mr. THOMAS ROBERTS of Castlereagh-street. The deceased it appeared, had been for some time indisposed, and remarked at breakfast time, to her fellow servant, that her heart was breaking. She then appeared very ill, and about twenty minutes afterwards, expired. She had been sent to the factory, and fretted at the consideration of having lost her hair, which afflicted her very much. She was conveyed up stairs on manifesting symptoms of serious illness, and shortly afterwards died. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of “Died by the visitation of God.”
