Coroner’s Inquest.
A coroner’s inquest was taken at the "Fleur de Lis tap," Canterbury,
before T. T. DeLasaux, esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, on view of
the body of John M'Gowen, formerly pavier, of this city. It appeared by
the statement of Mary M'Gowen, daughter of the deceased, that she and
her mother left home at half-past six in the morning to go hop-picking,
and having occasion to return a short time afterwards, found the
deceased in bed. She called to him to let her in, when he complained of
being unwell, but hoped he should be better soon, and he would follow
after them. When she got home at night, to her great surprise, she found
deceased in bed, and to all appearance life had been extinct for some
few hours. The jury having viewed the body, and found it in the state
described by the daughter, the coroner briefly summed up, an an
unanimous verdict of "Died by the visitation of God" was found. Deceased
was 72 years of age.
