Derbyshire Courier 18 Aug 1838

INQUEST BEFORE MR.H. MOZLEY, JUN., CORONER —On Monday last at Shirley, on the body of Frances Harrison, aged 23, who had died the Friday before with symptons indicating the presence of poison. It proved however the apprehensions which from that circumstance been entertained were erroneous, as, from the evidence of Mr. Toogood, of Ashbourne, who examined the body, it appeared that the deceased, who was a very respectable young woman, had died from inflammation of the bowels. Verdict "died by the visitation of God."
