Death from Poison. — The inquest on view of the
body of a caneworker named Charles Frederick Clifford,
begun before the City Coroner on Monday, was resumed
and concluded on Tuesday. The evidence showed that de-
ceased was gambling at a skittle ground in Castlereagh-street,
on Saturday afternoon, but it was not clear that he lost any
money by his bets, or that indeed he had any considerable
amount to lose. He went home sometime before daylight
on Sunday morning last, and at about 7 a.m. his wife found
him lying ill in bed. Dr. Hansard was sent for, and he
was of opinion that the patient had taken landnaum.
There was no smell of the poison, or any other indication
to lead to the presumption beyond the symptoms mani-
fested by the deceased, and these corresponded with
symptoms exhibited by the unhappy man three years
ago when he attempted to destroy himself by taking laud-
anum ; at that time he hid the bottle under the flooring
boards of the room. Dr. Roberts also saw the deceased on
Sunday morning, but it was obvious that there was no like-
lihood of his recovery, and he died at half-past eleven
o'clock. The post mortem examination revealed no suffi-
cient cause of death other than the appearances compatible
with the supposition that deceased had died from the effects of
a narcotic poison. Verdict: 'Deceased, aged fifty-nine years
died from the effects of a narcotic poison, but of what kind
we have no evidence to say ; and whether he took it himself
or not we have no evidence to say.' Some of the witnesses
were persons from the skittle ground, and parts of their
evidence had reference to the betting, card playing, and
drinking carried on there. Respecting this place, the jury
added the following to their verdict : ' We condemn the
skittle ground kept by John M'Guinness, Castlereagh
street, as a public nuisance.'

Mr. Charles Clifford, a well-known and high
ly respected resident, ot Windsor, passed
away at his late residence, Mileham-street,
on Friday evening last at the age of 67
years. .The late Mr. Clifford had been em
ployed for many years in various tanneries
in Windsor, and was considered a fine
tradesman. Of late years he had been em
ployed by Mr. F. B. Anschau, at his Penin
sula tannery, and worked there till illness
overtook him some three or four weeks,
ago. He was a man who took an intelligent
interest in all the political problems of
the day, and was well-informed on the va
rious subjects. Steady, quiet, and inoffen
sive, and withal a very industrious man, he
was greatly liked by all who knew him,
and no man in the district was more esteemed
than the late Charles Clifford. He married
Miss Mary McMahon, daughter ot the late
Cornelius McMahon, of Tennyson, and their
family numbers four boys : (Harry, Frederick,
Charles, and Oscar), and, two daughters
(Iris and Tessie). The three younger sons
have enlisted for the war, and one, Charles,
has gone the front. 'The deceased had
been laid up for a couple of weeks, and
the cause of death was heart failure. The
funeral took place on Sunday, and was
very largely attended: About 100 Oddfellows,
of which Order deceased was a much re
spected member, walked in front of the
hearse, which was followed by a long con
course of people. The pall-bearers were
Messrs. F. B. Anschau, J. Birch, A. Tucker
man, G. Davis, and C. Dean. The service at
the grave was conducted by the Rev. Father
Cassidy, and Mr. J. W. Chandler carried out
the funeral.
