HAMILTON MYSTERY.
RE-EXHUMATION ORDERED. INQUEST AGAIN ADJOURNED. By Telegraph. —Presß Association Hamilton, June 14. The Smallfield inquest was resumed. Dr. Pinfold, recalled, said that when he examined the body a pre-molar tooth •was missing. He would say that the body was that of Smallfield. He did not notice an appendicitis scar when he made the post mortem. If the operation was nine years ago in life he might miss the scar. The skin of the body when examined was swollen and covered with mould. If the man had had his appendix removed it would not render him immune to intestinal trouble. In making the incision at the postmortem he did not touch M’Burney’s point. The incision was a vertical one. The Coroner said it was necessary to read the evidence, therefore he would adjourn the inquest to Monday and make an order for the re-exhumation of the body to-day to examine the teeth and appendix, if any.
