On Friday morning, at four o’clock, the house-maid went into the room, and thought her much worse, as she breathed quicker than before. She was seen again at six in much the same state, and lying in the same posture on the sofa; she asked for some warm beer, which settled on her stomach, and she also took about a pint of gruel; she said that the pain had left her. Her vomiting had ceased, but was succeeded by a “_lax_,” which continued all the morning. A little before ten, the house-maid was sent out for some Madeira, _Miss Burns_ having expressed a wish for some. Between the hours of ten and eleven, the kitchen maid was in the room, and received orders about dinner; and _Miss Burns_ said she would have some barley water. On the return of the house-maid, about eleven, she went straight into the parlour, where _Miss Burns_ was found lying dead in the corner, by the door, with her face against the wall, “_cowered of a lump_,” her elbows upon her knees, and one foot “_crudled_” under her; _Mr. Angus_, who had nursed her throughout, sitting in an arm chair, apparently so fast asleep that he was not roused without difficulty. During the whole course of her illness, she did not go to bed, but remained in the parlour, generally lying on a sofa. She refused to have medical assistance; but _Mr. Angus_ said that he had given her seven drops of laudanum on one night, and ten on another, and that on the morning of her death he had given her some castor oil, in spirit, but that it came up immediately. REPORT OF THE DISSECTION. On Sunday the 27th of March, 1808, at noon, _Dr. Rutter_ was desired by the Coroner of Liverpool to take with him an experienced surgeon to the house of _Mr. Charles Angus_, and there to examine the body of a young lady who had died suddenly. The examination was made at two o’clock the same day, by _Mr. Hay_, a surgeon in Liverpool, with his apprentice, in company with _Dr. Rutter_ and _Dr. Gerard_; and the following report on the subject was presented to the coroner in writing.
