A doublebarrelled gun was lying alongside end there was a shot wound in the head. The District Coroner (Mi- T. Brown), held an inquest on Saturday, when the evidence showed that the young man had been seriously ill in November, and the illness had ifcft him in a despondent condition, though he had never at any time given reason to think he would take his own life. The Coroner, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict that death was the result of a gunshot wound, self-inflicted, while in a state of unsound mind.
