THE COROMANDEL FATALITY.
(By TelejratfU.—Own Corwepoadeat.) COROMANDEL, this day. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon before the coroner, Mr Swindley, on the body of the child Sarah Elizabeth Tratt, who died last evening from the effects of swallowing a half-inch screw. The evidence showed that the child was in its usual health, playing on the floor in a back bedroom, when its mother heard it coughing violently, rushing in, found the child choking. Dr. Cheeeman was immediately sent for, but the child died before he arrived. He examined ite throat, and extracted a email screw which it had swallowed. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
