It is curious that Reuter has never sent us the end of the distressing story of the death of Dr. Hay Bolton's baby girl, after reporting the verdict of murder against the Japanese amah by the coroner's jury. The full report of the inquest appears to-day and will be read with the interest proportionate to the extraordinary nature of the case. At this distance of time and space there can be no objection to comment and those who at the first news concluded that the Japanese amah must have been insane and that the verdict was mainly due to a country jury's ignorance, will find much in the report to confirm that impression. Her complaining of pain in the head, her strange conduct in lying down in the bushes, her being wet through, her behaviour when spoken to by Supt. Page. se facts are not of course conclusive. But it appears against all nature that a professional travelling amah, of whom the child appears to have been fond, should commit so horrid a crime when in her senses.
