He was employed as a storeman. The wife of the deceased gave evidence that he had been ailing for some time, and had been attended by Dr O’Neill within the last six months. His trouble was rheumatic gout. Her husband had been complaining about his health up to Wednesday night, when he grew worse, taking shivers and going into a high temperature. He went to work again on Thursday, but came home in the morning. He was complaining of shortness of breath. The deceased refused to stay at home on Friday, but he was forced to return to bed about 10 o’clock in the morning. Her husband looked very ill. In the afternoon she heard a thud in his room, and found that he had been endeavoring to get up to go to the lavatory. Deceased persisted in his attempt, and she and her son assisted him. At the end of the passage he collapsed, and she sent for the doctor immediately. Dr Moore gave evidence that he had been called to the house at 5 p.m. He found deceased partially dressed, lying on the bed. He had been dead only twenty minutes or half an hour.
