AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH AT ARNOLD – On Saturday week an inquest was held at the White Hart, Arnold near Nottingham, before Mr Coroner SWANN, over the body of James SULLEY, the parish constable, fifty-two years of age, who died under the following distressing and somewhat remarkable circumstances. (The following is a very short version of the article) – On evidence of Mr SIMPSON of Arnold, and Samuel BARROW a wheelwright who was living on the premises of Mr SIMPSON, Mr SIMPSON’s groom had been conducting himself in a most eccentric manner so as to leave no doubt of the aberration of his intellect. It was decided to send for SULLEY and JOHNSON, the policemen stationed at Arnold. During the affray to subdue the groom, SULLEY walked away, reeled a little, then suddenly fell forwards on his face upon the ground. Mr ALLEN, surgeon, who was on the spot, examined him and said he was quite dead. Mr ALLEN said the deceased was subject to a disease of the heart. Verdict: “Sudden natural death from the Visitation of God, and not otherwise; supposed from disease of the heart”.

Last week a calf was slaughtered by Mr Stephen DENBY, butcher of Arnold near Nottingham, perhaps the most remarkable animal of the kind ever killed in this neighbourhood. It was ten months’ old, bred and fed by the Rev G.F. HALCOMBE of Sherwood-lodge, and weighed forty-one stone and ten pounds. It sucked until killed. The mother was also fat to an extraordinary degree, and was purchased by the same butcher.

SUICIDE – An inquest was held last week at Arnold near Nottingham on the body of Mr Nathaniel James DENISON of Daybrook-House. (There then followed long details of the case). At about half-past 2 o’clock in the morning a report of a pistol was heard, and servants ran into the yard to find the deceased sitting on a privy seat, with a pistol lying at his feet, his head being nearly blown off. His brother, Mr Mark DENISON, died about nine weeks’ ago, and a marked change had since been noticed in the condition of the deceased. He had been heard to say shortly after his brother’s death that the accession of the property which he had received consequent thereon, instead of being a pleasure, would be a burden. Deceased was seventy-eight years of age.
