Inquest Mary Keetch, (Essex Chronicle 7th May 1852). Essex Record Office, Chelmsford.
"On Friday, an adjourned inquest was held at the Blue
Boar inn, Stratford, before C.C.Lewis,Esq. on the body of Mary
Keech, (better known as Mary Catch), aged 33. The inquest was
adjourned from the previous day in order to allow a post mortem
examination of the body. It was supposed deceased had met her
death under circumstances of an aggravated character - It appeared
that a person named Nebborn, who lived near deceased,
was called in by her children, and he found her in bed, and quite
dead; he raised an alarm, and a medical gentleman attended, and
found death had taken place several hours previous. - Evidence
was also adduced to show deceased was jealous of her husband,
whom she supposed was on terms of improper intimacy with
another female in the neighbourhood, and it also appeared that
she and her husband frequently quarrelled, - and even so late as
on the Monday previous, when he left home and did not return
till after his wife's death. - Mr Kennedy, surgeon, of Stratford
deposed to making a post mortem examination, when he found
the lungs in a diseased state, and no doubt death ensued from
that cause, although excitement might have hastened the event.
Keech had been seen to slap his wife's face, but no evidence was
adduced to show that death ensued from the treatment she re?
ceived from his hands. The coroner summed up the evidence,
and the jury found that "Death ensued from natural causes".
The coroner, at the request of the jury, had James Keech called
in, and gave him a severe reprimand, which he appeared to treat
with perfect indifference."
