1873
Mr. Coroner Delasaux held an inquest at Elham, on the body of Mary Ann Hogben, aged 83 years. It appears that the deceased was subject to fits, and on the 8th June last she was sitting before the fire in her son's house at Elham, no one being with her but a grandson of the age of eight years, when she fell into the fire. The boy screamed so as to attract the attention of Mr. Clayson, a neighbour, who went into the house, and found the unfortunate old woman’s head on the fire. She was extricated, and Mr. Bishop, surgeon, was called. in He found the deceased suffering from severe burning about the head, neck and hands, from the effects of which she died on Tuesday, the 9th July, he having attended her up to the time of her death. The jury found a verdict of accidental death.
