Depositions taken on the View of the Body of Sarah
Gunning Perriman
< no role > the 2d day of August 1792
at the House of James Hill< no role > in Mount Street ,
Grosvenor Square , known by the Sign of the Barley Mow
within the above City and Liberty.

Thomas Payne< no role > Surgeon to Saint George Infirmary
in the Parish of Saint George Hanover Square being sworn
saith that on this second day of August one thousand seven
hundred and ninety two he examined the Body of Sarah
Gunning Perriman
< no role > (who had been dead above two days)
That the Appearances were a small Contusion on the
Chin, and he did suppose one on the Nose, from the
discharge of Blood from it, and a small Contusion on
the Temple , and Extravisation of Blood on the Temporal
Muscle, corresponding and being immediately under-
neath the external Contusion in the Skirt. On the
inside of the left Thigh, about three Inches below
the Private Parts the Skin was erased about two Inches
in length and barely half an Inch in breadth.
the above are all the appearances on Dissection, as
the Body in every other respect was in a very sound
State and upon examining the Deceased he found she
was not pregnant, and he is of Opinion that the Bruises
above described could not have been the ultimate
Cause of the Death of the deceased.
