DEATH AT A MARRIAGE FEAST.

 

Mrs. Elizabeth James, a widow, aged 52 of Greenfleld-road, Tottenham, London, was a guest recently at a wedding in Braemar-road, Tottenham. The bride's mother found her resting nor head on the table. She said she was unwell. After being taken into the garden she died. The festivities were then abandoned. At the inquest the doctor ascribed death to heart disease, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect.
