SUDDEN DEATH. - The death occurred suddenly on Sunday afternoon, of Mr. Thomas TALBOT, aged 61, who lived at 6, Laburnum-street. The deceased had been in the employ of Messrs. HAMBURY & COTCHING, brewers, and on the 17th September he met with an accident while removing a sheet that had been put up as a sun-blind. He was standing on a barrel, and by some means the sheet fell on him. He received a blow on the head, and two of his ribs were fractured. Two days after the accident he suddenly lost the sight of one of his eyes. He remained in bed a fortnight, and appeared to be progressing favourably. On Sunday morning he complained of being unwell, and his wife made him some tea. He was then very sick, and died suddenly. No inquest will be necessary as the doctor was able to certify the cause of death.
