An inquest was held last evening at No. 104 Maxwell street on the remains of Cornelius Cagney, a child aged 6 years, who received fatal injuries about two weeks since through being run over by a horse and wagon driven by his father. The child climbed on one of the wheels despite the father, and, falling, was hurt badly in the head. A verdict according with the facts was rendered.

Cornelius died when just two and half years old [not 6 years as noted in the Tribune article]. He was buried on June 2, 1871 but his actual date of death is not known. He was named for his uncle Cornelius Cagney.
