the Melbourne Hospital, where he was
found to be suffering from -the effects of
drink and a cut head. The deceased
died on the night of his admission.
The Coroner was not satisfied at his
preliminary inquiry that deceased had
been accidentally hurt, and accordingly
adjourned the inquiry.
Constable James Strachan, stationed
at East Melbourne, stated that about
3.45 o'clock on the morning of March
20, while on his beat, he discovered the ;
deceased lying on a lawn in Gipps :
street, at the back of the Public Offices. !
He shook the deceased, but could not j

found it covered with blood. Witness

Dr Cole, remarking that even . after
the adjournment of the inquiry the evi

wish, recorded the following verdict: —
I. find that in the Melbourne Hospital
on March 20, John Albert Coate died
from compression of the brain, the result
of hemorrhage from fracture of the skull,
due to violence. There is no evidence
to determine the exact nature of the
violence.
