The Cornwall Chronicle (Launceston, Tas. : 1835 - 1880) - Sat 16 Sep 1843 - Page 2 CORONERS' INQUESTS.—An inquest was held yesterday at the Britannia Tavern, Wellington- street, before A. Gardiner, Esq., on the body of a man named Richard Davis. It appeared from the evidence of Dr. Benson, that the de- ceased had been received into the Colonial Hospital about 6 o'clock on Wednesday after- noon, and then stated that his horse had fallen with and rolled over him near Carrick. The deceased was put to bed ; he then complained of great pain in his back and the lower part of his belly. When Dr. Benson saw him on Thursday morning he was much worse, and evidently sinking fast ; about three in the afternoon of Thursday he died. It appeared, on the post mortem examination of the body, that the intestines were ruptured and the con- tents effused into the cavity of the abdomen ; death being caused by that circumstance. The deceased was a ticket-of-leave man, in the service of Mr. John Archer. In consequence of no witnesses being in attendance, the in- quest was adjourned until Monday next, at 12 o'clock.

From the evidence it appeared that his death was entirely owing to the circumstance of his horse falling under and rolling over him, whereby he received so many fractures and contusions as to occasion his death only a few hours afterwards. - Verdict, accidental death.
