A WATERSIDE WORKER EXPIKES AT PAY OFEICE. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Feb. 20. Mr J. R. Bartholomew, S.M., held an inquest yesterday at Port Chalmers touching the death of George Frederick Robinson, a waterside worker, aged 37. Deceased was a returned soldier and suffered from the effects of gassing. On Friday he was working on the steamer Canadian Explorer at Port Chalmers, and when he went to the pay office to receive his wages he fell down at the door and expired, despite restorative measures by a doctor and others.
After hearing the evidence the coroner decided to order a post mortem examination, as a question of strain at work might be raised in connection with compenstion, and tho inquest was accordingly adjourned.
