°DEN DriarH.—We regret to record the sudden death
of Mr. William Fookes, yeoman, of Launneston
last Friday morning. Having given directions respecting
his labourers, he said to the foreman that he felt unwell,
and should go and lie down. He did in, and told 3lni.
Foolres of his illness, asking her to send for a doctor.
Going down stairs to do no, she heard a peculiar noise
proceeding from her husband, and, hastening back into
the room, found him dead. Medical assistance was
obtained, but it was of no avail. Mr. W. Fookes was a
well-known agriculturist, and his sudden death will be
read of with universal regret.
