The following jury were sworn in : — William Hay (foreman), flonry Greenacre, Charles Knapp, George Olarkson, Henry Bull, George Godkin, William Blake, William Cossey, John Clarke, Frederick Molnnis, and Jamea Baker, after which they proceeded to view the body. Tho following witnesses were called :— James Thomas Cossev, deposed : I reside at Drury and am brother of the deceased. I saw him nlive up to ten minutes to one yesterday. He aud I had been working together, at this time he put his hand to his chest and screamed out Oh, James, "what a pain,' and ran to the door. I followed him and got him on my knees, he heaved three times as if trying to vomit, the first time he brought up a kind of water, the second time something the color of brass, similar to bile, and the third time a small portion of bread. When my other brother, who was out, came back a few minutes after this, I sent him off for Dr. Rayner. I then, with my wife, bathed my brother's temples with cold water. He never spoke after he called out " Oh, James," he was twenty-six years of age, he was never ill since he was in the colony, he seemed in excellent spirits that morning, he was in town on Monday and came back the same night. He was a teetotaller. When I was bathing his temples something came in his throat and seemed to choke him. The doctor came in about twenty minutes after I had sent for him. My brother was not in the habit of lifting heavy weights. I saw him at breakfast that morning and he ate an excellent one. He died about four hours after breakfast. Frederick Cossey, depoaed: The deceased was my brother ; it was about eight minutes to one yesterday when I left the shop, my-brother appeared to be in good health then; I had been working with him from seven o'clock that morning; I was away from ths shop about three minutes; when I returned my brother was insensible, I found him on my brother's knee, when I got back he was throwing up saliva ; I went for the doctor, but by the time I got my horse my brother William was all but dead. I have never heard him complain or seen him sick. _ William Blake, deposed ' About five minutes past one yesterday I heard that William Cosaey had fallen down in sickness. I ran down to the house to see if I could be of anyhelp. When I got to the house he was on his back in the passage of the workshop. I felt his feet—they were cold. I then felt his chest —there was a little heat. I advised them to apply hot water to his chest, it was done for ten minutes, but at that time he had no pulse, so I thought life was extinct. I have known deceased since I came to the country, and have never heard him complain of sickness. Frederick M. Innis saw the deceased at the same time as Mr. Blake. He was quite dead. Put his hand to his forehead and face—found them quite cold. William Rayner, deposed: I am a duly qualified medical practitioner and member of the Boysl College of Surgeons, London. I have made a peat mortem examination on the body of William Oossey. I have carefully examined the respective organs of the body and find them generally healthy, with the exception of the heart. The heart presented that form of disease known as atrophy of the heart, it being much below the normal standard in size. I regard that asthe predisposing cause, the exciting cause being a sudden attack of spasm, giving rise to a form of disease known as angina pectoris, to which I attribute the cause of death, producing immediate suffocation. I examined ilie stomach and found it perfectly healthy, but empty. I consider there is nothing inconsistent in the eridence I have heard read over with the cause of death. The Coroner shortly addressed the jury. The jury returned the following verdict:—"That. William Gossey, on the 10th day of June, died of disease of the heart (angina pectoris), by the visitation of God, in a natural way, and not by any violent means whatever."

Tho following witnesses were called :—

 

James Thomas Cossev, deposed : I reside at Drury and am brother of the deceased. I saw him nlive up to ten minutes to one yesterday. He aud I had been working together, at this time he put his hand to his chest and screamed out Oh, James, "what a pain,' and ran to the door. I followed him and got him on my knees, he heaved three times as if trying to vomit, the first time he brought up a kind of water, the second time something the color of brass, similar to bile, and the third time a small portion of bread. When my other brother, who was out, came back a few minutes after this, I sent him off for Dr. Rayner. I then, with my wife, bathed my brother's temples with cold water. He never spoke after he called out " Oh, James," he was twenty-six years of age, he was never ill since he was in the colony, he seemed in excellent spirits that morning, he was in town on Monday and came back the same night. He was a teetotaller. When I was bathing his temples something came in his throat and seemed to choke him. The doctor came in about twenty minutes after I had sent for him. My brother was not in the habit of lifting heavy weights. I saw him at breakfast that morning and he ate an excellent one. He died about four hours after breakfast.

I have never heard him complain or seen him sick. _

 

William Blake, deposed ' About five minutes past one yesterday I heard that William Cosaey had fallen down in sickness. I ran down to the house to see if I could be of anyhelp. When I got to the house he was on his back in the passage of the workshop. I felt his feet—they were cold. I then felt his chest —there was a little heat.

William Rayner, deposed: I am a duly qualified medical practitioner and member of the Boysl College of Surgeons, London. I have made a peat mortem examination on the body of William Oossey. I have carefully examined the respective organs of the body and find them generally healthy, with the exception of the heart. The heart presented that form of disease known as atrophy of the heart, it being much below the normal standard in size. I regard that asthe predisposing cause, the exciting cause being a sudden attack of spasm, giving rise to a form of disease known as angina pectoris, to which I attribute the cause of death, producing immediate suffocation.
