Sudden Death.—News was received with general regret on Tuesday last, when it be came known that one of the earliest diggers on Cullen's Creek, Mr John Walker, had, about noon of that day, fallen dead whilst visiting the residence of Mr Chas. Whebby, also a miner of Cullensville. The deceased, who was 72 years of age, and a native of Cumberland, had, from the opening of Cul len's Creek as a gold-field, followed the life of a miner in that locality. Becoming pre vented, by the loss of vigour, some twelve months ago, from continuing the heavy work of a miner, he obtained light employ ment at Mr Bruce Thompson's, the Grove, which he left a fortnight ago, to obtain medical treatment at the Picton Hospital. In order to spend Easter with his friends at Cullensville, deceased obtained permission from the Hospital authorities for such pur pose. On the morning of his death, de ceased was visited by Mrs Wm. Thompson, of Cullensville, who, finding him in a weak state, requested to be allowed to prepare some sustaining food. This deceased de clined, and shortly afterwards called at Mrs Thompson's residence, but also declined the request that he should stay. From there, deceased made his way up the Creek to the residence of Mr Whebby, and had barely passed the threshold, and asked for a cup of tea, before he was death-stricken. Special Constable F. Coombe was immediately com municated with, and he had the body re moved to the Mahakipawa Hotel, trom whence it was brought to Havelock, yester day, for interment. On communication with the Coroner and Dr. Claridge, of Picton (under whose treatment deceased had been whilst an inmate of the Hospital), an inquest was deemed unnecessary.
