An inquest was held yesterday, at the sign of the Barley Mow, Castlereagh-street, on view of the body of Mary Ann Allsopp, aged 33 years. Deceased, it appeared, was a strumpet, and an inveterate drunkard, who had received violent treatment at the hand of another female living near her in the same court.
Dr. Duigan had attended her for disease of the heart, and in other cases for ten years, and a post mortem examination by Mr. Moore showed two large bruises on the upper part of the chest, and one over the left lower jaw, all of which had extravasated blood about them; also on opening the pericardium he found it filled with serous fluid, and the heart showed signs of previous disease; she had a gin-drinker's liver, much enlarged and dis-coloured. Verdict - Disease of the heart, brought on by intemperate habits. Dr. Duigan, as it seemed, very properly refused to grant a medical certificate in this case.

ANOTHER VICTIM TO INTEMPERANCE.- An inquest was hold on Friday, before the City Coroner, at the Barley Mow Inn, Castlereagh-street, on the body of a woman named Mary Ann Alsop, aged thirty-three, who died from disease of the heart, the sad result of a life of intemperance and profligacy. It appears by the evidence adduced, that deceased, who was one of the class of unfortunates with which our streets abound, returned to her house in an obscure court in Castlereagh-street, on the evening of Wednesday, and that shortly after, her sister or sister-in-law came there and asked for a bar of iron. This was the subject of a scuffle between them and a woman named Catherine Allner, who was also present, in which deceased received several blows from a key tied up in a handkerchief. Dr. Duigan, who was sworn, stated that he had attended the deceased for ten years, and that she was suffering from disease of the heart. He was called in and saw at once that there was no hope of recovery, recommended the treatment proper in such cases. In consequence of the complaints of ill usage which deceased had made he refused to grant a certificate of death, as he felt it to be a case for the decision of the jury at the inquest. He was of opinion throughout that the blow deceased received had nothing to do with her death. It was considered advisable to make a post mortem examination of the body, which was per-formed by Dr. J. Moon, who deposed that upon examining the heart he found it seriously diseased, and the liver presented all the appearance that is seen in what is called a gin drinker's liver. The stomach also bore marks of having had no solid food for some time, and the whole viscera showed that deceased had been an habitual drunkard. A verdict was accordingly returned of died from disease of the heart, brought on by habits of intemperance and not otherwise.
