Sudden Death.----This has been a fatal week, no less than three cases of sudden death having occurred in Brisbane alone.

On Wednesday morning, a resident passing along the bank of the river near the Hospital, saw some clothes lying on a rock by the river side,
and they proved to belong to a boy named Andrew Barter, in the employment of Mr. Eldridge, of Milton.

On the same day Mr. John Samuel Goode, formerly carrying on business as a pastry cook and baker in Brisbane, was found lying in a lane near Queen Street, in convulsions, and quite insensible.

He had left his lodgings about an hour before, apparently as well as usual.
Dr. Bell was promptly in attendance; and, after other remedies, were tried,
took about six ounces of blood, which seemed to relieve the deceased.

The fits, however, continued, and he died in the evening.
It was proved that he had been in the habit of drinking, without taking necessary food.

Verdict, died of Epilepsy, brought on by previous habits of intemperance.
