An Inquest was held at the Saint Patrick, Gloucester-street, on Thursday last, on the body of Mary Godwin, who died suddenly on the previous evening. A post mortem examination was made by Dr. Nicholson (not Dr. Neilson, as erroneously stated by two of our Contemporaries) who certified that the death of the deceased was caused by the excessive use of ardent spirits.
