An inquest was held yesterday afternoon on the
body of Gee All Choy who was found dead in a
corner of a horse shed ON the Wyllie premises,
corner of Chaplain lane and Nuuanu street, having
very deliberately hanged himself. From the evil
dence given at the inquest, 1t appears that the
man had been sick for at least three months past.

as he had neither friends nor relations, Mr.. Ahlo
took compassion upon him and let him live on his
premises, and told his cook to give him something |

and about a fortnight ago, had said TO Apo that
he had an incurable disease, and would be better
to be dead. Yesterday morning about Z O'Clock, he |
was found by Kahue hanging III the little apart

had been living. William Sea who was informed
of the suicide by children, Immediately after the
discovery by Apo, testified that the man was cold
and stiff then, and his eyes and mouth full Of ants, |
showing that he had been dead some time. This
fact was the excuse given for leaving the remains
of the unfortunate man hanging where found, a
spectacle visited during the day by crowds. 1t APP

any account. Some native police saw the man
when William Sea saw him, and the matter was re-

acting as Interpreter on board the Monarch, and
there was no white policeman at the Office. When
the case was reported to the Deputy Marshal, a
