South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail (Adelaide, SA : 1868 - 1881) Sat 1 Mar 1879 Page 9 CORONERS' INQUESTS.
The City Coroner (Mr. T. Ward, J.P.) held an inquest at the Old Queen's Arms, Wright-street, on Thursday morning, February 20, on the body of Pauline Margaret Lenk, infant daughter of John Lenk, of Wright-Street. Mr. Wm. Bending was chosen Foreman of the Jury.
Eliza Brodie, married woman, living in Selby street, said she had seen the body, and recognised it as that of Emma Lenk's child. It was born at her house in November last. It was a healthy child, and remained healthy up to three weeks after its birth, when Dr. Gardner was called to see it. Thought that the mother had not a mother's feeling towards the child, and the father was not very fond of it. Mr. Lenk stopped at her house till the day after Christmas Day. The child was weaned a week before then. Had had the child under her charge, and the doctor said it was improving with her. By Detective Hammill - Could not say whether deceased would have lived under her care. By a Juror - Had not had words with Mrs. Lenk about the child. William Gardner, medical practitioner, said he first saw deceased about December 9.
He was suffering then from profuse diarrhoea. Recommended the mother to begin artificial feeding. She gave it cow's milk and Neave's food, and it improved for some time. Last saw it alive on February 3, at his consulting-room. It was then more emaciated than when he first saw it. Gave the mother very little hope of its recovery. Made a post-mortem examination that morning, and found the body frightfully emaciated, but there were no external marks of violence. The lungs were perfectly healthy. The left side of the heart was full of blood. The stomach and the intestines were empty. The cause of death was "syncope" or failure of the heart's action, either from inability to digest food or from artificial food being substituted for the mother's milk. By a Juror -The mother exhibited as much anxiety for the child as was consistent with her phlegmatic disposition.
Elizabeth Cook, married woman, said she kept a lodginghouse in Wright-street. Mrs. Lenk went to her place about eight weeks ago as a general servant. Her husband came a week afterwards. The baby was brought six weeks ago. There was no difference in it up to the day before it died. It took its food well and slept in a cradle by its mother's bed. No doctor attended it for 16 days before its death. Saw it last alive on Tuesday night about 11 o'clock. The mother seemed very fond of it. There had been words between Mrs. Brodie and Mrs. Lenk. Emma Margaret Lenk, mother of deceased, said she last saw her child alive on Wednesday morning, at about 20 minutes to 8. Went to look at it, as Dr. Gardner had told her to watch it. The child was alive then. Went out of the room, and returned again in three minutes and found it dead. It had had the bottle. Gave it food on Tuesday night, at 11 o'clock, and brandy and water through the night. The doctor ordered her to do so. Always gave deceased plenty of food. Thomas H. Morbey, living with Mrs. Cooke, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. The Jury, without retiring, returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence.

Notes
General:
Ada was born at the Union Workhouse in Church Stretton. Her mother was Anne Bright domestic servant, and no father's name is given on the birth certificate
At the 1901 census, Ada may have been living with her grandparents, if it is Ada she is named as Edith A Bright Granddaughter on the census. The age and place of birth are correct for this person named Edith. At the address was living Charles Bright Age 55, Ann Bright Age 65, Elizabeth Bright daughter single Age 21, Ada F Bright daughter single Age 18, Edith A Bright granddaughter Age 6, John Bright Age 1 grandson. It seems the names of Edith and Ada may have been mistakenly swapped on this census as in the 1891 census the daughter of this age is named Edith not Ada.
In the 1911 Ada is a domestic servant living at The Cottage, Lower Wood, Ch Stretton, All Stretton, Salop with Herbert Oakley Age 30, Mary Ann Oakley Age 27, Annie Louisa Oakley Age 5, Frances Mary Oakley Age 3, William Herbert Oakley Age 1, Ada Bright Age 17.

We observe, with some pleasure, that Mr. Naylor has withdrawn from the contest for Evelyn, in favour of Captain Dane.
Mr. Alexander Brock, of Preston, an old and much-respected colonist, intends to contest the election for East Bourke. If he enters into the contest with anything like spirit be will probably succeed. Mr. R. D. Ireland's nomination for North Gipps Land is quite certain. He purposes visiting the district during the next few days. His presence amongst the electors of that constituency will be sufficient to insure him a large majority. Mr. A. K. Smith intends to offer himself as a candidate for North Melbourne. The Beechworth people are determined to have two representatives in the Opposition interest, for which object a strong committed has been formed.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
7th December.
Another old colonist has gone from amongst us. Mr Alexander Brock, whose name will be familiar to most persons who are at all acquainted with the early history of pastoral settlement in Victoria, died this morning at his residence, Oak Hill, Preston, after, a brief illness. Mr Brock arrived in Tasmania with his father and family in 1835, and a year or two later came over to Port Phillip in the wake of the late Mr Faulkner, and took up land in the Western district. Subsequently, I believe, the deceased gentleman was engaged in squatting pursuits in partnership with Mr W. J. T. Clarke.
