EPITOME OF SUFFOLK NEWS .... An inquest was held at Butley, on Wednesday last, before C.C. BROOKE, Esq., coroner, on the body of Joseph GOWEN, laborer, aged eight years. It appears that the deceased was employed to frighten birds off a corn field of Mr WEBB's, and was last seen alive on Monday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock. About quarter-past five Mrs CROSBY was taking some chips from her yard to her house, and saw deceased lying on the ground on the other side of the field ; he was lying flat on his face, with his head resting on one of his arms. She thought he was asleep, but as deceased had not moved for about three- quarters of an hour, she sent her little boy to wake him up. He came back and said he could not wake him.She sent him back again to shake deceased, and he returned and said there was stuff running from his mouth. Mrs MALSTER, who was at Mrs CROSBY's house, went across and lifted him up; when she found he was dead. There was a little froth issuing from his mouth and nose. From the appearance of the ground he seemed to have fallen and died without a struggle. Mr W.W. KETT, of Hollesley, surgeon, having given his opinion that deceased died from apoplexy brought on by the rupture of a vessel in his head, the jury returned a verdict accordingly.
