CHILD SUFFOCATED-A PICTURE IN TRAMPING LIFE.
An inquest was held at the Crown Inn on Saturday afternoon touching  touching the death of Nelson Smith, the illegitimate child of Elisabeth Smith, the child having died suddenly that morning. Mr. J. Worley conducted the enquiry. —Elizabeth Smith, the mother of the child, said it was born against  Princes Risborough, and was egistered at that photo. Witness was 21 years old, and had been a tramp for about 2 years. The child was born on April 13th last in a tent by the roadside, the child's father, Spencer Draper, and her brother being with her at the time. She found the child was ill on Thursday night, when near Dayton Parslow, and she took it to the doctor at Fenny Stretford on Friday at 1 o'clock. He said he could see nothing amiss with the with the child beyond its teeth and a cold. He gave her abottle of medicine, but she had only given the child two little lots. Her child kept crying, and she was afraid to give it too mach at a time. She left Fenny Stratford about four o'clock.  About nine on towards Stony Stratford. She sat by the side .................

…………..shown to a doctor, who found nothing tho matter with except a cold, and its teeth. Some medicine was given to it, and the mother seems to have taken all possible care of her little one. It may even be said she killed it with ' kindness. In very simple language she told the coroner's jury how, leaving Fenny about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they proceeded towards Stony Stratford, not going into any house, but passing , the night—in mid - December, she remembered, and with an eight months' old baby—by the side of the road. The man walked up and down, while she sat the road side with the child wrapped in a blanket and a shawl on her arms, but did not go to sleep. The child had nothing  during the long night but what it obtained from its mother, and some of the medicine. Small wonder that on Saturday morning could not take the breast, and she did not feel him move, and on being taken to a doctor he pronounced the baby dead. It was clear that no blame attached to the wretched parents. The child was fairly well nourished; there were no marks of violence; and the only cause for its death which the medical man could ascribe was that it was probably suddenly suffocated by being pressed to its
mother's breast, and being in a drowsy state owing to the medicine it was unable to extricate itself. How true is that One half of the world knows not how the other half lives —or dies

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER HENLEY. An inquest held before Mr Win. Weston, coroner, on the body of Thomas Beldam, on Wednesday, at the Heading Workhouse. Matilda Beldam said : the widow the deceased, who was a travelling pedlar, and fifty-three years of age he left for Henley fair on the 7th inst. with my two sons, Nathan and Thomas, and onr son-in-law, Leonard Ewes or Hughes.The decesed was brought to our van at about five o'clock the same evening ...
in a cab. He was unconscious, and remained so almost till Saturday last, when he was brought to Reading by the wish of the doctor who had attended him. gave no information to any quarrel. Before this the deceased was in good health, and I have not seen anything the matter with him to signify. i came with him to Reading Hospital. They advised my getting an order for the workhouse, which I did, I took him here at once. Ewes had been with him five or six days at Peppard. During that time they had not quarrelled. Ewes spends a good deal of his time at Lower Edmonton, near London. Arthur Strange  said I am a bricklayer at Henleyon-Thames. The deceased was a stranger to me. coming down Greys lane, in the borough of Henley, on the 7tb inst., I noticed a crowd, and, on going to it. I saw the deceased being led by his son up Greys lane towards his son-in-law. When the deceased and his son-in-law met, the latter said. Now come along, you, and struck him full in the face and the deceased fell on the back of his head. The son-in-law's wife said. “You have killed my poor father.” and sent for a policeman. When the policeman was coming up Greys-lane the son-in-law got on his horse and rode off. The son, when he first got to the crowd, was leading his father towards the yard in Greys-lane. and when he got to the son-in-law he said. “Don’t hit father any more,” or words to that effect. The deceased did not provoke the son-in-law in the slightest, in either word or action. I waited with the deceased till he was driven off in fly. In tbe doctor had seen him.The deceased and his son-in-law, I thought, were both the worse forthe drink. I only saw one blow struck,  the fatal one. The son threatened to strike his brother-inlaw after the father was knocked down, but did not do  so the ijury I did not notice any injury to the deceased head. Thomas Beldam said The deceased was my father.  He, myself, brother, and brother-in law left about 9.30 on 7th inst.. and got to Henley about 10.15, we rode to Henley with Leonard, father and my brother Nathan walking by the side. We went direct into the Fair Ground, and there father sold his horse. About two hours after we went into a public house and received the money. From there all four of us went into another public house. Then Leonard (the son-in-law) accussed  father (the deceased; of stealing his whip, my  sister, who had followed us in, said to her husband Leonard, you gave father the whip but father gave it to Leonard once. When we came out this second bouse Leonard tried to get up a quarrel with father about the whip, and the policeman  ordered him  to go home.we started off. When we had got about hundred yards Leonard came up to us, and father said i don't want to have anything to do with you Leonard and Leonard at once knocked him down. Father got up and struck at Leonard, who again knocked father down. We then carried father into Percy’s yard Greys Lane. we helped to pick father up and tried to get him away. When going Leonard knocked him down the second time. I didn’t hear Leonard speak  between the times he knocked father down. Father did not provoke Leonard in any way. To the jury. Leonard had interest in the father’s horse. Father could not speak after he was knocked down the second time Richardson, M.D., said I saw deceased on Saturday evening shortly after he was admitted. He was suffering from violent delirium. I have since made post mortem examination. The body was well nourished, and the lungs stomach, heart, spleen, kidneys. and intestines all healthy. On examining the head externally I found no wound with the exception of two marks behind the ears where blisters had been applied. On removing the scalp I found no adhesions. The whole external membranes were highly congested evidently beneath them. There was accumulation about one ounce, at the base of the brain; a marked congestion in the right frontal lobe extending over an area of about four inches by three inches; a slight congestion in the left frontal lobe; the anterior portion of the right frontal lobe; the anterior portion of the right frontal lobe showed destruction of brain tissue. I consider the cause of death to be acute meningitis and  acrebritis. The injuries to the brain were not of long standing and might have been caused by the blow and fall spoken of. Such inflammation generally arises from a blow or knock. Deceased died about 12.45 on Monday morning. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Leonard Ewes or Hughes. The coroner issued a warrant for apprehension of Ewes

BUCKLAND. Found Drowned in Ditch.—Mr. Fell, coroner, held an inquest on Wednesday last at the Rothschild's Arms, on the body of man unknown, which was found a ditch in this parish on Tuesday morning. The following evidence was taken : —William Foskett of Drayton Beauchamp, said on the previous morning, about quarter to 7, he was going to his work down the road leading to Puttenham, when he saw him lying on the back of the ditch. On going and looking into the ditch, which was about 2ft deep, with perhaps afoot of water the bottom of it, he saw the body of deceased lying face downwards in the water. Close to the ditch there was a mark as if deceased had been rolling about. There were no footmarks.—P.C. Richard Neal, stationed at Aston Clinton, said on the previous day, about 8 a.m., he received information of the deceased having been found in the ditch, mentioned by last witness, and went to the spot. Deceased was lying on his right side in the ditch, and the water was just over his head. He was quite stiff and cold, having apparently been dead some hours. Witness, with assistance  got the body out and
had it conveyed to the Rothschild Arms. He searched deceased's clothes, but found nothing except a few matches. He had made enquiries, but had been unable to identify deceased. Witness knew him by sight as having been in company with gipsy horse-dealers. Deceased's hat was lying about two yards from the ditch, and a  short pipe by the side of it. The ditch had recently been cleared out, and there was small piece of grass on the bank. There was a trace of deceased having laid on the grass, and apparently rolled off into the ditch, there being knuckle mark in the mud by the bank above the water, as if he had struggled along the ditch; there was also mark where he seemed to have rested his shoulder. There was no trace of any footprint or of a struggle.—Robert Barton said on Monday afternoon between 3 and 4  o'clock be saw a man whom he recognised as the deceased, opposite the Rising Sun at Aston Clinton. He was by himself, and seemed undecided which way to go. He ultimately turned towards Buckland, and in the direction 

of where he was found. Witness saw deceased take his pipe from his hat and attempt to light it. About two hours before he saw deceased as described some gipsies' vans passed through from the direction of  Aylesbury. Deceased perfectly sober ;he was muttering to himself. —Mr. James Brown, surgeon, of Tring, , said he had examined the body, and found no marks of violence upon it. He came to the conclusion that death was caused by drowning. He should say that deceased was from forty-five to fifty years of age. His hair was originally dark, and was just turning grey. He had a beard and moustache.The jury returned verdict of Accidentally drowned. [We understand that the body has since the inquest been identified by a near relative as that of Ansel Biles, aged 60 years, a gipsy, of no settled home.]
