GEARY
Coroner Horton held an inquest, on Friday, the 16th, at No. 47 Fulton street, upon the body of a child about one year old, the son of Francis and Mary Geary, which, from the evidence, it appeared had died of star vation and exposure. The family arrived in this country from Ireland in June, and took up their residence at Yonkers. They came to New York about the1st of July in the hope of fluding employment. Being unsuccessful they were compelled to seek food and shelter where they could find it. Some says since Mr. Gamble, residing at the above number, found them in from of his door. He provided them with food and shelter. The child being very sick soon died. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that it died 'of cholora morbus, produced evidently by want and exposure.'
