Coroner reports share of Napoleons and a messenger death

Coroners inquires reveal political turmoil and a Royal Mail dispatch error. A messenger named Smith failed to overtake a mail, wandered to Honiton, later died after his body was found near a stream. The inquest notes a death by own action for several cases including an infant murder, laudanum poisoning, and a Camberwell arsenic self-harm case. The reports also cover an inquest into a youth's death from heart inflammation after long work hours and alleged neglect by a master.

Phenomenon Described At Gluckstadt And Strehvel
