SHOCKING DEATH. - The Body of a man, named Gilbert Marshall, was found burnt to a cinder among the remains of a tent on the Richmond Flat yesterday morning. It appeared that the deceased was a resident of some forty miles up the country, and had come to Richmond for the purpose of collecting his rents, a good many of the dwellings on the Flat being his property. He occupied the tent alone, and went to bed in a state of intoxication, having attended a wake. The tent was discovered to be on fire at half-past two in the morning, and when the neighbors went to the spot all that remained of the occupant of the tent was a charred and lifeless mass. An inquest was held on the body yesterday before Dr. Wilmott, City Coroner, when a verdict in accordance with the evidence was returned.
Gilbert died in Richmond but was buried at Whittlesea, Victoria in 1855.
