Thomas Meadows< no role > of Shoreditch Surgeon Saith he
Examined the Head of the Deceased And thought it
requisite to take off a Part of the Shull with a Clussell
in Order to Prevent any of the blood Vesselestobeing
Laseerated which is often the Case when dane with a
Saw And the Blood Vessells will Empty themselves
That he found the Arterial System so far as the Bone
extended extremely Inflamed and very full
That upon Opening of the Internal Coat he found
about a Ten Spoonfull of Seyrrues Blood lying between
the dura Mater and Pin Mater And that a larger
Quantity might have reasonably been Expected to have
been there found had it not been daily Absorbed by the
Blood VessellsAs that [..] probably might be the
cause why no Matter was found there
That he is Apprehensive the Deceased would never
perfectly have got Order this Disorder had he Lived
For from the Confusion which contained in his Head
from the time he Received the Injury he might have
become an Idiot and Incapable of getting his Bread
That he is of Opinion that in Case no Other Disorder
had been brot on the Deceased that the Injury in
the Deceaseds Head could not Easily be Cured

Taken and Acknowledged the 6th.
