Yesterday morn., Coroner Earle held an Inquest in the Public Hospital on the body of William McFARLANE who died in the Hospital the previous night. Deceased had always been a hard drinker and on Tuesday was taken to the Police Station, apparently in the horrors. A post mortem examination showed that death had been caused by congestion and effusion of the brain. (see original)
