Fatal Effects of Intemperance.

An inquest was held at the "White Lion Inn," in this town, on Saturday last, on the body of a gentleman named Mr. J. Worth, a commercial traveller, from London, who died at that inn on the day previous, after only a few hours’ illness. He arrived at the house on Thursday evening last, and appeared tolerably well; he engaged to take supper with a few other commercial gentlemen at half-past eight. On the supper being served he declined taking any, stating that he felt unwell and would go to bed; he retired accordingly. The landlord or his servants visited him at intervals during the night, and in the morning finding he was worse, the landlord called in his medical attendant, who paid him all proper attention, but without any good effect, for he died soon after six the same evening.

From the evidence elicited by tavern bills found in his possession, together with that of some of the innkeepers at whose houses he had previously stopped, it appeared that he had been drinking very freely, and that his illness was the result of his excesses. The jury, after a short consultation, brought in a verdict of "Died from the effects of excessive drinking."

Verdict, "Died by the visitation of God."
