DUNEDIN.
This day
Philip Davis, a plumber, aged about 30, and a single man, who is living with his parents, took some spirits of salts used in the trade on Tuesday night, and yesterday he died. He had been drinking very heavily, and coming home drunk was reprimanded by bis father, whereupon he went and took the poison, and stated that he had done so. A doctor attended, but although the drug was removed, the effects of it and of habitual drinking killed him.
