Deaths from Pneumonia —Two inquests were held on Saturday by Mr. Strickland, and in each case it was elicited that death had resulted from phthisis or acute pneumonia. The first inquest was held at the Bendigo Hospital upon the body of a woman named Mary Ann Brown who had expired in the institution just after admission, and while being conveyed to the ward. The evidence showed that the woman had been living with the Chinese in different parts of the colony for the past ten years. On Tuesday last she went to a storekeeper at the Chinese Camp, Sandhurst, named Quong Foon, and said she was very ill, and had been refused admission to the Castlemaine Hospital. She appeared to be suffering from dropsy, and was conveyed in a cab, on Friday, to the Bendigo Hospital, where she died, as already stated. Dr. Hinchcliff deposed lo having made a post mortem examination of the body, and described the appearance of the different internal organs. The cause of death was acute pneumonia, and a verdict to that effect was returned by the jury. At the conclusion of this inquiry, the coroner proceeded to Raywood, and there held an inquest upon the body of a child named Caroline Noyce Webb, who had died at her parents' residence, Mologa Creek, Terrick Terrick West. It appeared that on Monday the deceased, who was a strong healthy child, caught a cold in the throat and chest, and on Thursday, as she did not improve, Dr. Hierons, of Raywood, was sent for. Before his arrival, however, the child died, and in his evidence at the inquest the doctor stated the lungs were affected by acute pneumonia which had caused death. The jury returned a verdict accordingly
