A Chemist Censured.
— 0 — I Per Press Association. | Wellikgtoj», Novemb«r 14. Some rather unusual proceedings were disclosed at the inquest to-day on Jeremiah Brosnau, a Permanent Artillery man, who was admitted to the hospital Buffering from diabetes. His case was regarded as hopeless, but ho died much more suddenly than was expected, and an inquest was ordered. From the evidence given it appeared that a chemist named Brittain at the request of deceased had supplied medicine which was taken to him by friends without the knowledge of the Hospital doctors. This medicine contained opium, and some of it was found concealed in the clothes after death. Tho jury, while not finding that death was caused by this, added a rider to tho verdict that the conduct of the chemist was deserving of the severest reprehension.
