William Clement Headington< no role > of Spitalfields Surgeon
Saith he hath this Day Examined the Deceased and Opened
the BodyThat the Internal Parts are in the natural
State and do not appear to have received any sort of Injury
That there are several Marks of Violence upon each Arm
Those on The left do not Appear to be of much Consequence
The right Arm from the Elbow to the Fingers is in a State of
Mortification as Informant Imagines arising from some
BlowsThat it is impossible to say what it might be
done withThat it is just the same from the Elbow to the
FingersThat it is also impossible to say how long it might
be after a Blow given that such Mortification might Ensue
That there are several Marks upon her side and her Legs which
seem to have been given with a Stick
That he Apprehends the Mortification was the imediate Cause
of her Death That her Bowells and Stomack seem to
be quite Empty [..] And Informant is Clear she did not Die in
Consequence of any Wound Received
