goods of selling tea in response to grocers' selling beer and wine. (Click

Gravesend Reporter, North Kent and South Essex Advertiser, Saturday 19 January 1867.
Inquest.
On Friday (yesterday) evening week, an inquest was held at the "Two
Brewers Inn," before C. J. Carttar, Esq , coroner, on the body of a man
named John Rumley, aged 64, who dropped down dead in Mr. Sibley's
stable, Lowfield, on the day previous. It appeared from the evidence
that the deceased was a labouring man and much addicted to drinking. A
year or two back he became a teetotaller, and kept the pledge for twelve
months, but at the expiration of the time he broke it and resumed his
old practices. There was no post-mortem examination, but Dr. Hoare, who
saw the deceased, gave it as his opinion that the deceased internally
was much diseased, and that death arose from natural causes.
Verdict accordingly.
