AN INFANT’S DEATH
OVERLAIN BY MOTHER.
“Deaths of this description are fortunately comparatively rare these days, and I do not think I have known such a case for many years,” stated the Coroner, Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. yesterday after finding that the death of a sevenworks’ old infant, named Agnes Lauric Davis was due to asphyxia.. The baby had been taken to bed by its mother, Susannah Davis, at 10.15 at night, but, instead of replacing the child in its cot as usual after feeding it, the mother fell nsleep. At 1.5 a.m. she woke up and found the child dead in her arms.
