Conisborough Inquest.

You might have put yourself in a serious position, and it is only by good fortune that you are not in that position,” said the Doncaster District Coroner (Mr. W. H. Carlile) to a girl’s mother who told a remarkable story at an inquest at Conisborough yesterday.

The inquest was on the body of a newly-born child, a verdict being recorded in accordance with the medical evidence, that it was stillborn.

The mother, Sarah Mosley, of 2, Oakland Terrace, New Edlington, said she was in service at Doncaster and worked until the day preceding the birth of the child, which took place at her employer’s house. She concealed the fact from her mistress, and left the next night.

She had not told her parents anything previously.
