The medical men, Dr. Humphreys of Garston and Dr. Carter of Liverpool, who were in attendance on him during his fatal illness, had not attended him on any previous occasion, and were unacquainted with his habits or constitution, and, as they were unable to assign the cause of death, and had refused to give a certificate, the Coroner was communicated with, and a postmortem examination was made on Monday, the 13th May, by Dr. Humphreys and Dr. Carter, assisted by Dr. Barron, but, these medical men being still unable to assign the cause of death, certain portions Of the body were selected by them and placed in sealed jars. Dr. Humphreys also took samples of the contents of the sinks, both inside and outside of the house, which were put into bottles.
