CORONER’S INQUEST. – An inquest was held at Strabane, on Wednesday, 21st instant, by Joseph Orr, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body od Catherine O’Neill alias Conway, who was found dead in her own house on Monday last. Dr. Mitchell made a post mortem examination of the body, and gave it in evidence that he did not discover marks of injury sufficient to cause immediate death, but that it must have been hastened from violence used against her. Several witnesses were also examined, who proved to seeing Nancy Conway, her daughter (a girl of bad repute), drag, strike and throw her down in the street, on the Thursday evening previous, and that she was heard to say to the deceased, with an oath, that she would murder her when she would get her home. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts stated, and the accused was fully committed on the Coroner’s warrant to take her trial for the offence charged at the next assizes.
