SELF-INFLICTED WOUND
CAUSE OF LABOURER'S DEATH.

Evidence was given bv George Joseph Fitzpatrick as to having found the deceased. Wheeler, he said, when asked whether he had inflicted the wound himself, had nodded his head in affirmation. He was then asked: “Did you do it on a bottle?” to which he shook his head, but when asked if he had done it with a. knife he had again nodded. Wheeler was a man somewhat addicted to drink.
