DEVONPORT PENSIONER'S DEATH

Mr. J. A. Pearce held an inquest at Devonport Workhouse on Saturday on William C. Browning, 41 years of age, a naval pensioner, of Warleigh-avenue. He was admitted to the imbecile ward of the infirmary in October last. At times he was subject to epileptic fits, and would be very violent just before they came on. On these occasions he was placed for a short time in the separation cell. On Thursday night last, he was seized with a fit, and was removed to the cell. He was under the care of the night nurse, who looked into the cell from time to time to see how he was progressing. In the morning he was apparently better, but shortly afterwards he looked strange, and died within a few minutes.—Dr. Sandford, medical officer of the Workhouse, attributed death to meningitis, and a verdict was returned accordingly.
