Details:
A graduate of St Andrews; practised at Assembly Row, Mile End, London, E, where he was found dead in bed on the morning of August 6th, 1857, and a bottle containing hydrocyanic acid was on his dressing-table. Shortly before he had complained of severe headache and insomnia, and had been unduly harassed and fatigued. The coroner's jury found that death had been caused by an overdose of hydrocyanic acid, taken as a sedative in order to procure relief from violent headache and sickness, and not with any intent to destroy life.
