The Opettator

DECEMBER 14, 1833

AN inquest was held on Saturday, in the House of Correction, on the body of William Early, aged thirty-two. About half-past twelve in the morning, the deceased was working on the tread-mill, when he suddenly fell upon the stage lifeless. The surgeon, on being called in, found him quite dead. His liver was in a dreadful state, and it appears that he was a confirmed sot. About half an hour after he had been set to work on the mill, he said to a fellow-prisoner, "The wheel gives it me here," pointing to his stomach. Verdict—"Died by the visitation of God."
