1854

Coroner’s Inquests 1854 cases

There were only 41 cases in 1854, presented in two sub-pages, mostly due to the poor quality of the remaining imagery, and therein so few of interest that I struggle to make an introduction. But the action of mother Eliza Chandler, in making a pudding of some flour her son had found in a shepherd’s hut on the plain, and the whole family feeding on said pudding, is unbelievable. Her children Edward and Jane both died of the poison.
