However, I found this in Daniel Johnson's Newspaper Extracts: ----- Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 98 Number 949 Date July 24 1895 County Westmorland Place Moncton Newspaper The Times The language of the text is the original used in the newspaper entry and as transcribed by Daniel F. Johnson. Records acquired by the Provincial Archives are not translated from the language in which they originate. The inquiry into the death of Betsey PETLEY was concluded by Coroner Wortman yesterday morn. (see original for testimonies of Charlotte BOWSER, Margaret NELSON, Edward SCOTT, Christie McDONALD, Leonard WILBUR. We find that the immediate cause of Betsey Petley's death was consumption probably caused by the dissolute life she had and the abuses received from Leonard Wilbur while living with him. The coroner's jury: E.C. COLE, Neil McDOUGALL, A. McKINNON, James C. STEWART, Thos. GLENDENNING, H.H. COLPITTS, G.R. SANGSTER. ----- Not sure if that's the right Leonard Wilbur or not, but I'll take a look at the full text in the library later today and let you know what I find.
