DOVER. Sudden Death.

On Wednesday Mr. Delasaux held an inquest at the "Canteen," Guston, on the body of William Collins. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the deceased was a labourer, and that on the afternoon of Monday he was working at Dover Castle, when he suddenly fell down, rolled over, and, without uttering a word, died. Immediate assistance was rendered, and a doctor sent for; but of course it was of no avail. During the morning the deceased had quarrelled with his son, but they had dinner together, and the affair appeared to have blown over. The evidence of the doctor, Mr. O. F. Heritage, left no doubt as to the cause of death, he stated that for many years deceased had been suffering from a diseased heart, and in the opinion of the witness death resulted from this, increased by excitement. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural Death."
