SUDDEN DEATH. - Mary Jane MULCAHY, a handsome-looking woman, 35 years of age, who lived in one of the most fashionable haunts of depravity on the north side of the city, and who passed by the name of Josephine SUTHERLAND, died suddenly at her rooms on Sunday evening. The deceased, who was, it is said, extremely fond of dress and jewellery (sic), and who was possessed of extraordinary personal vanity, was the wife of a medical gentleman in the South of Ireland - the County Limerick is stated as the locality. Her inordinate love of admiration and gaiety was so great that she is said to have abandoned a modest and respectable home in order to enjoy the greater attractions of city life. But her looks began lately to fade, and her health was lately rather delicate. She had, moreover, fallen lower and lower in her abandoned career until she had become the manager in partnership of a house of vice. On Sunday she went to visit her partner or employers, a woman named WILSON, then a patient in the Rotunda Hospital; and on coming home she died suddenly in her room. An inquest was opened on Monday at the Morgue, and adjourned till Friday for the production of some witnesses. - Dublin Paper. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
