inspecting the body and hearing the testimony adduced upon our oaths each and all do say that we
find the deceased was named John Givenney; was a native of Ireland, aged about 41 years; that he
came to his death on or about the 19th day of September, 1877, in this county from hanging by the
neck and that the hanging was by his own act willfully done with intent himself to kill. All of which
we certify by this inquisition in writing by us signed this 19th day of September, 1877.
