Abstract:
In January 1878, Mary Anne Fogg's evidence at the inquest of the death of her infant daughter, Louisa, was recorded as follows: My name is Mary Anne Fogg. I am the mother of the deceased infant. The deceased seemed sickly for the last two days. Yesterday afternoon she got worse and took fits. I gave her two doses of castor oil at an interval of four hours. I also gave her two warm baths one in the afternoon and one in the evening … I thought she was getting better. This morning between two and three I laid her down gently beside me and fell asleep. I was completely worn out for want of sleep. Yesterday evening I gave the deceased a teaspoonful of honey. When I awoke I found the child was dead beside me.
