Wardley, Timothy

Licensed Whiskey's Work.
On Sunday morning our citizens were startled with the intelligence that Timothy Wardley was dead. On Saturday Mr. Wardley - who was employed by Mr. R. Creech, market gardener - went to Ospringe with a load of vegetables. Here he visited the hotel and imbibed freely of intoxicants and then continued his journey to Usherwood's, on the Guelph road, where more liquor was partaken of. A short time afterwards he was found by the roadside in an insensible condition and was brought back to the hotel. Failing to return home in reasonable time, Mr. Creech went to look for him and found him still insensible. He brought him to his boarding place, Mr. W. Carroll's on the third line, near Acton, where he was put to bed. On Sunday morning Mr. Carroll went to him, thinking he would have recovered from his drunken state, but was appalled at finding him dead. Deceased has been in this vicinity for several years, and during that time has only occasionally indulged in the intoxicating cup. He was 67 years of age, single and friendless, but in comfortable circumstances. Had the Scott Act been in force in Wellington County Timothy Wardley would undoubtedly have been alive to-day.
