DEWSTOE, Wesleyan minister, who was a supernumary in the Falmouth circuit.  He died rather suddenly on the 3rd April.  The deceased, who had been in delicate health for several years, was a preacher of considerable ability.  He entered the Wesleyan ministry in 1838, and from that date to 1874 he travelled in various circuits at Home.  In 1875 he went to Queenstown, South Africa, where...   SHOCKING SUICIDE BY A POST OFFICE OFFICIAL. A considerable amount of excitement was occasioned yesterday, not only in the Post Office, but also in town by the circulation of a report – which proved but too correct – that Mr W.T. INGLESBY of the Circulation Branch of the General Post Office, had committed suicide.  The news spread rapidly, and exaggerated rumours were set on foot which have not been substantiated.  It appears that Mr W.T. INGLESBY, who is connected with the money orders and Post Office Saving’s Bank Department, proceeded home on Wednesday evening in a disturbed state of mind and body, insomuch that his paleness was a subject of remark.  He appears to have remained in the room with his two children during the night and was left asleep in his clothes there when the servant girl put out the lights at about a quarter past eleven.  Shortly after six o’clock yesterday morning from her room the servant observed blood flowing from the closet in the yard and reported the circumstances to her mistress.  Mrs. INGLESBY at once went to the spot, where she found her husband, in a sitting position, dead, on the floor of the closet, covered with blood and brains.  A Martini-Henri carbine lying by his side, indicated the weapon with which death had been caused.  Mr INGLESBY was a member of Prince Alfred’s Own Cape Volunteer Artillery, and the carbine in question had only recently been issued to him.  He was quite dressed when discovered, with the exception that he wore no boots, having taken them off on proceeding to lie down with his children.  The body was in a sitting position upon the floor, with one leg doubled under it, and covered with gore and brains.  The nose and a portion of the face were carried away by the bullet, which passed through the face, passed out through the crown of the head, and finally made its exit through the galvanised roof above.  This hole in the roof and the direction of the wound are evidences to the fact that the stock of the weapon must have been resting on the ground when the shot was discharged.  A candle in the place would also appear to intimate that the deed was committed at an early hour in the morning.  The body was visited by Mr J.M. CROSBY during the morning after which it was removed to the Somerset Hospital.  The deceased was a steady man and never drank, so that it is difficult to account for the reasons which induced him to commit this rash act.  Up to the present, however, the examination of his accounts does not in the slightest bear out the rumours which were circulated reflecting upon his integrity.  His accounts were checked on Wednesday, the last day of the month, and they were then found to be substantially correct, though a trifling inaccuracy in totalling was discovered in one or two instances.  He was sharply reprimanded for these errors, and this reproach appears to have deeply preyed upon his mind, he being naturally of a very sensitive and nervous disposition.  He was a married man residing near the toll in Sir Lowry Road, and he leaves a wife and two children...- C.Time   Tuesday, May 13, 1884   BIRTH,- On May 8th, the wife of Mr. W.F.S.
