The unfortunate deceased observed his health giving way in the month of August last year, and he consulted the parish surgeon, Mr. John Coleby, who found him labouring under irritation of the left kidney, produced by the detention of gravel, which lodging there, pained him exceedingly. The treatment suggested, was attended with various results, sometimes he was relieved for a few days, then he relapsed, and after several weeks illness, a small stone escaped into the bladder. Swann’s health, however continuing impaired, his wife replied to various inquiries, “he was no better,” and having remarked that she considered the parish surgeon inattentive, a warm-hearted lady, (Mrs. Shirley) expressed a wish that the poor man should consult her medical man, Dr. Bell, residing in Norwich, in whose skill and medicine she had great confidence. Swann consented—was placed by Dr. Bell, on his arrival in Norwich, under the care of Mrs. Phillips’, and the testimony of the different witnesses at the inquest, afterwards held on the body of the deceased, proclaims the result. The evidence first called, was Mrs. Swann, the widow of the deceased, who stated “My husband was 45 years of age. In the early part of last harvest he was very ill, and he applied to the parish doctor, Mr. Coleby, who attended him until after Christmas, and I told Mrs. Shirley, I did not think Mr. Coleby did justice to him, so she sent him to Norwich to be under her medical man, Dr. Bell. He went on Wednesday, the 11th of February, in a carrier’s cart, and took lodgings of a Mrs. Phillips, in Union Place. He told me that Dr. Bell attended him the same day, that he went up and passed five instruments into his body. He said that Dr. Bell hurt him very much and he (Dr. Bell) passed his instrument up further, which caused a large stream of blood to come from him. Dr. Bell gave him some medicine and continued to attend him a fortnight, when he said he would not take any more. On hearing him say so, Dr. Bell asked him who he would have come to him, he said Mr. Webber, as he was with him when Dr. Bell passed the instruments. Dr. Bell wrote to Mr. Webber to attend, but he would not; I went to Norwich that day, and by my husband’s desire I called on Mr. Webber, and asked him to come and see him; he came and examined him, and said inflammation had taken place, but he would do his best endeavours for him. Mr. Webber attended him five weeks, and he came home on the 30th of March last. Mr. Coleby attended him the next day, and continued to attend him until he died, on Friday, the 14th of May—he frequently complained of his kidneys.”
