Inquest Proceedings
At Croom Hospital on Friday 23rd inst.,
Dr. Clery, Coroner, opened an inquest
touching the death of Michael Casey,
Cloughakeating, Patrickswell, who suc-
cumbed on that morning to injuries
sustained by being knocked down by a
car
Supt. Cooney intimated that he did not
intend to give any evidence other than
evidence of identification and medical
evidence, as papers were being sent to
the Attorney-General for his instructions.

WIFE'S EVIDENCE
Mrs. Christina Case, wife of thes de-
ceased, giving evidence of identification,
stated her husband was a farmer, and
was 50 years of age. On Wednesday last
the deceased left the house and went in
the direction of Patrickswell, carrying a
barrel of water. When he returned he
remained indoors until 5.30 p.m., when
he went out on a bicycle to Patrickswell
to feed the caves at Faha, where he had
grazing taken. He was in good health,
and had no drink taken. Later, witness
saw her husband in Croom aCounty
Hospital , where he was unconscious.

MANY INJURIES
Dr. James Hogan stated the deceased
man was unconscious when admitted to
the hospital on Wednesday, and died on
Friday. he man was organically sound,
and on examination it was found that he
had injuries around the left eye, with
sub-conjunctional haemorrhage, lacera-
tion of the face and legs. He was suffer-
ing from fracture of thebase of the skull,
and never regained consciousness. Death
in witness;s opinion was due to
and haemorrhage, following fracture of
the base of the skull, as a result of
violence. The injuries could have been
caused by being struck by some object
such as a motor car.
The Coroner then adjourned the in-
quest indefinitely.
