Dr. Cockell deposed that death was due to acute bronchitis.
Would she have recovered with medical attendance for a week before?—Yes.
The Coroner, in summing up, said there was no doubt Mrs. Dixon was grossly neglected.
The jury returned a verdict of "Death from acute bronchitis, accelerated by gross neglect by Mrs. D. and especially by Nurse H."
The Coroner: I am afraid that will mean manslaughter, which would be too severe. Will you alter it, gentlemen? The jury then altered the verdict to one of "severe censure on Mrs. D. and Miss H. for neglecting to obtain medical aid."
