Coroners Inquests. Yesterday.. Another inquest was held at the Three Tuns Tavern, on the body of Esther Slade, then lying dead in the infirmary. It appeared that the deceased was a very feeble person, about 75 years of age. She had been separated from her husband during the last three or four years, and resided with a family named Boulter, in George-street. Dr. Mac Ewan gave a description of the deceased, after her decease. The jury returned a verdict - Died from pre-existing disease. Empire Sydney, 5 Jan 1852. FUNERAL.—The friends of Mrs. Esther Slade are respectfully invited to attend her funeral, which will move from her late residence, George-street, near Market-street, at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
