SUICIDE OF A PRESTON BEERSELLER
This morning, Elias Ward, landlord of the
Lamb Tavern, King Street, committed
suicide by hanging himself. He has recently
several times been fined for serving drink
on Sundays during prohibited hours; and this
week he had to pay a penalty for a similar
offence. It was also thought that the person
owning the house wanted him out of it; and
these things seem to have driven Ward to
drinking. Early this morning he was found
in the house, with a rope tightly drawn around
his neck, and quite dead.

SUDDEN DEATH
At the Police Station, Coroner Gilbertson held an
inquest on Tuesday, upon the body of a man named
John Haighton, a twister, who lived at the Lamb
Tavern, Kind Street, and was 38 years of age.
The evidence showed that on Sunday, while walking
out, he was suddenly seized with dizziness, and that
afterwards he complained of heaviness of the stomach.
On Monday, whilst downstairs, he rose and went
upstairs, where he expired within about three minutes.
A verdict of "death from natural causes" was returned.
