      Yesterday Mr. Walter Schroder, at Islington, held an inquiry concerning the death of Beatrice Elizabeth Willis, aged five months, daughter of Steve Henry Willis, a carman, living at 1, Hollingsworth-street, N., who was found dead on Saturday.
      Kate Willis, the mother stated that the deceased had been weak from birth and had undergone an operation at a hospital for a malformation of the lip. On Saturday she took the child into bed with her at 2 a.m. as it was fretful. At 5.40 a.m. her husband roused her. She looked at the baby and saw no signs of life.
      Dr. Henry Edward Whitehead, of 475, Caledonian-road, who had made a post-mortem examination, said in his opinion death was due to a convulsive seizure following partial asphyxia from want of fresh air.
      Verdict: "Death by misadventure."
