Dr. Youl held an inquest yesterday, at Hotham, on the body of Cornelius O’Brien, aged fifty yeays. Deceased was by trade a carter, and has left a wife and nine children. On Friday last he was in his dray, conveying some empty casks along Flinders-street. One of the casks rolled off and frightened the horse, which became unmanageable. The dray was upset, and deceased thrown violently
upon the ground. He was picked up and removed to the hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from paralysis of the whole body, the result of an injury to the spine received in his fall. He died the next day from the paralysis. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts.

|---|
|
Chetwynd Street was once predominantly a residential street with single and two storey Victorian terrace dwellings, two churches, a school and two hotels known as the Queens Arms and the Star of Hotham. The Chetwynd streetscape today is characterised by a mix of multi-storey blocks of public flats, some modern commercial/industrial buildings, an ambulance depot, and a school. In 2021, only fifty of the original one hundred and twenty-nine Victorian heritage dwellings once found on this street remain, compared to the 1895 Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works map. |
