INQUEST BY THE COUNTY CORONER
An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon at Whitfield before
the County Coroner, T. T. Delasaux, Esq., on the body of Edward Clover,
a labourer, aged 32 years, who committed suicide by shooting
himself.
Mary Clover, wife of Joseph Clover, deposed: The deceased was my son.
Yesterday morning, about half-past eight, I went into the shop and there
found the deceased lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and a gun
which belonged to the deceased was in the room. The last time I saw him
alive was about a quarter to nine on Thursday evening. I have fancied
him to have been a little strange in his behaviour. The gun was always
kept in the room in which he lived, and was there on Thursday evening.
It has been shot off, but i do not know that it has been loaded with
anything else beyond powder. He has also been low spirited since the
death of his uncle, who poisoned himself a few weeks ago, and upon whom
I heard an inquest was holden at the "Royal George."
This was all the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the deceased had shot himself whilst in a state of
temporary insanity.
