THE TAKAPUNA FATALITY.

DEATH CAUSED BY CEREBRAL HAEMORRHAGE. (Per l'ree.2 Association-^ Auckland, April 28. The supposed poisoning case at Takipuna proves to have been really a care of death from cerebral haemorrhage. The medical evidence at the inquest on Mrs Nicholson showed that a p n st mortem had disclosed a rupture! cerebral artery. The deceased had a definite heart history extending over many years, and the conditions were such as might have caused her sulden death at any time. Dr. Fairclough said that he did not consider that taking any particular food or drink had any direct influence in causing her death, though possibly a gaseous liquid such as hop beer fat first supposed to be the cause of death) might have caused distension of the stomach and so affected the heart's action. Cornelius Little, the husband of Mrs. Little (Mr. Nicholson's sister), who was also taken ill in the same way, stated that his wife was subject to heart trouble, and that lier brother recently died from a condition similar t.) that described by Dr. Fairclough. Commenting on this evidence, Dr. Fairclough said that the statement bore out his idea that arterial degeneration often runs in families. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. Mrs. Little was still in a serious condition tli's afternoon. Her case is also one of cerebral haemorrhage.
