Hosking, aged 66, the verdict was as follows:—"That Mr. Hosking died from heart failure, caused by exhaustion, from the effects of ptomaine poisoning, through having eaten tongue prepared by & North Island bacon company • The presence of the poison in the meat seems, from tho evidence, to be purely unaccountable, and no blame is attachable to anyone.
