A man named Charles Clifford poisoned himself by taking laudanum on Sunday morning last. [S2] Sydney Morning Herald, Sat 12 Mar 1864 Page 3 CORONER'S INQUESTS. 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.'

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.

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.
