‘Curse you! May you bo pa®alstpefl in your bed before morning.” These words were alleged at a Poplar inquest to have been addressed to James Haddrill, aged 63, of Bromley-by-Bow, a few hours before he was found dead in bed. It is stated that Haddrill, who was unmarried, lived at the house of a sister, and the family were greatly disturbed by intemperate lodgers in the house The sister alleged that one of the lodgers shouted the curse several times. Haddrill was found dead the following morning A doctor stated that death was caused by cerebral haemorrhage, and it was possible that the excitement and emotion of the previous evening had something to do with it. The coroner returned a verdict of “death from natural causes.” and suggested that the sister take proceedings in another court. Kiwi Essences give ronl dMinrfion To vour cooking.
