| On Saturday 17th December
1853, landlord John Whitby went out with a friend, returning home in the
afternoon in a state of intoxication. He retired upstairs. Later his
wife discovered him fast asleep, and making an unusual noise. Having
three weeks previously discovered a bottle of Laudanum in his pocket,
Mrs. Whitby again examined his pockets and found an empty bottle, which
had evidently contained the substance. When the doctor arrived, Mr.
Whitby was in a state of coma and expired some hours later. The deceased was a cripple from birth, was 30 years of age and was considered a very intelligent person, but lately given way to excessive drinking (supposed from pecuniary embarrassments). He left a widow and four small children to deplore his untimely end. |
