Sudden Death at Newton Abbot: A sudden death occurred at Newton yesterday afternoon. It seems that Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey, 48, housekeeper to Mr. W. S. Pinsent of High week-street, left home to attend a funeral, and on reaching the almshouses in Wolborough-street she could go no further. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Tucker, a brother-in-law and sister, who are on a holiday in the town, were with her at the time, and they removed her into the almshouse occupied by Mrs. Harvey. Medical aid was summoned, but on Dr. Scrase arriving he pronounced life extinct. The death has been reported to the coroner, it is improbable that an inquest will be held, as Dr. Scott had been attending the deceased for heart trouble for some time past.
