court records, 1916, poisoning at Kensington

[lasswade]

Dear researchers,

I would like to know if records of this court case are available...

In 1916, a chemist accidentally dispensed poison and as a result, my grandmother and another woman died.

I know there was no imprisonment and the incident was considered an accident, but i would still like to read the record, if that is possible.

Thanks,

Bea.

I presume you have read the newspaper accounts?  They are probably as full a record as you could expect to get. I think.

Thanks, yes I read the account in the Times, it only mentioned the decision at the end of the article, and then briefly.

Thanks for the response. Bea

There are a lot. Some more detailed. Such as

And this one

More thanks offered. The second account reports directly on the inquest, and the three articles I have read are all similar.

My mother and her siblings were young and so protected from the details. I am glad to have finally discovered what happened.

Bea.

Are you by any chance chasing the Coveney family, ?.
