EVIDENCE AT AN INQUEST. ißv TeleeraDh.—l'ress Aeeociation.l Auckland, May 10. An extraordinary death was described bv a doctor who was giving evidence respecting, a post-mortem examination of an old man named Robert French, who died suddenly in his bed at Mount Roskill. The doctor, Mr. J. Howard Lawry, said that he found air in the man's heart,. which was weak, and in tho blood -vessels of the brain, and in different places in the circulatory system. His theory was that the deceased in attempting to rise from his bed caused a slight lesion in one of his lungs, and that the air, aided by the low blood pressure caused by a weak hcaft, invaded the circulatory system, and the man had died instantly of embolism or stoppage of the circulation. Tho doctor said that so far as he knew thero was no record of a similar case. The Coroner accepted the theory, and returned a verdict accordingly.
