      SUDDEN DEATH AT HEXHAM RAILWAY STATION
      Acase of cery sudden death occurred at Hexham railway station on Saturday evening last. A married woman names Mrs Heslop, 49 years of age, wife of Mr Thomas Heslop, lead miner, of Setlingstones, it appears came to Hexham with her daughter, (who was entering on a situation as a domestic servant in this town), on Saturday afternoon last. After accompanying her daughter to her situation, the deceased left to catch the train leaving Hexham for Fourstones at 5L45 p.m. It is surmised that she had hurried to catch the train; at any rate, on her reaching the general waiting room at the station she was taken ill. The attendion of Mrs Robson, who keeps the refreshment stall at the station, was drwan to the deceased, who she found lying on one of the fixed seats in the waiting room. The poor woman had vomited, but was so ill that she was unable to speak. Mr Wilkie was at once made aware of the case, and he despatched one of the company's servants for medical aid, but before Dr Farmer could reach the station the poor woman had expired. It was not until three hours late that the station officials ascertained who the deceased was, and the deceased relatives were made aware of the melancholy fact. A return ticket for Fourstones was found in the deceased's possession. An inquest was helf on view of the body on Monday afternoon, at Mr Thos. Riddle's Railway Tavern, by Mr R.UY. Green, deptuy coroner. The first witness called was Thomas Heslop, lead miner, of Settlilngstones, who identified the body as that of Jane Heslop, his wife. He said that his wife was 49 years of age, and for the last four or five months had been quite well and stout, indeed he never saw her more healthy. She had been subject to heart disease for some years, and was also subject ot bilious attacks. She did not complain of being unwell before she left home on Saturday. She left home with her daughter, who was entering on a place in Hexham. Elizabeth Heslop, daughter of the decassed, was next called, but she was so overcome with emotion, and wopt so that it was with difficulty that she gave her evidence. She stated that her mother accompained her to her place, and she seemed quite well when she left witness to return home. She tought that would be about twenty minutes to six o'clock. Sarah Robson, of Orchard Cottages, Hexham, the keeper of the refreshment stall at the railway station, stated that on Saturday night, about a quarter to xix o'clock, she went into the general waiting room at Hexham station. She found the deceased in that room, lying on one of the seats, and very ill. Deceased had been vomiting a little and was sick. She died about six o'clock, or it might be a few min utes past six. When witness went in she asked deceased if she was sick, but the woman was unable to spearl. She was very pae and paooid; in fact, she saw death picutre in her face. - The Coroner remarked that the deceased hadhad heart disease and probably that the coming down for the train and the excitement consequent on parting iwth her daughter had been too mcuh for her. Most likely heart disease caused her death. - The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from heart disease. [1, 2, 3]
