then supposed that the Symptons proceeded from Extravasation
<
lb

</
lb

of Blood under the Cranium, in consequence of which a portion
<
lb
>
</
lb

of the Cronium was removed by the Trepanm, and a Quantity of
<
lb
>
</
lb

Blood evacuated, which for a little which releived her complaints
<
lb

</
lb

in a very Small degree, but the deceased fell again into a State
<
lb

</

of Stupor and Insensibility, and remained in that State until

about a quarter before two on Tuesday Morning, when she Died

After her Death the Head was opened and a large quantity of

</
lb

Congulated Blood was found is several places both upon the
<
lb

</
lb

Surface and in the substance of the Brain which evidently

</

proved the cause of her Death, Deponent says on Monday
<

</

Morning a Gentleman came to the Hospital and enquired of the
<
lb

</
lb

Deponent if there was not a Woman brought in the Night before
<
lb

</
lb

that had received an accident, he answered, Yes. the Gentleman
<
lb

</
lb

then said he wondered how the Horses should go so fast Deponent
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
then asked him if it was his Carriage that run over the Woman
<
lb
>
</
lb

he replied it was not his Carriage but he was in the Carriage the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Gentleman waited about twenty Minutes to see Mr. Justamond the
<
lb

</
lb

Surgeon but he not coming he went away and Deponent did not see
<
lb

</
lb

him afterwards.
