In his opinion deceased died from valvular disease cf the heart, accelerated by shock.—The Coroner, in summing up. said that had he been aware of the facts he might not have thought it necessary to hold an inquest at all, but as the deceased had died so suddenly, perhaps it. was as well that there should be an enquiry.—The jury returned a verdict, in accordance with the mdical evidence.
