SUICIDE AT GEORGE TOWN
14th May 1836
A person of decent address and attire, stating his name to be B. BURBEROW, arrived here on the 6th instant in company with a man named SWEENY, from Cape Town, on their way to Graham’s Town, and put up at Mr. BROWN’s public house, where they remained till the Monday following; while in conversation with his fellow traveller after dinner he suddenly accused him of stealing his money, and immediately took up a knife and attempted to stab him. SWEENY then went out of the house and was followed by BURBEROW when SWEENY, for protection, struck him with a stick, when he desisted from his intention. BURBEROW was immediately taken into custody; when on the following day, being brought before the Resident Magistrate, he stated himself to be NORTON, brother to Mr. John NORTON of Messrs. NORTON & Co, Graham’s Town. The Magistrate having heard the case, dismissed it, considering it a drunken spree. He, however, cautioned the Canteen-man BROWN against having such a disturbance on his premises, and told him he would not grant him his certificate if it again occurred. BROWN said the man was not drunk, but he did not think him right in his mind, and was sure he did not know what he was saying. They then left the Office. But BROWN being afraid to take him in after what occurred, the stranger went away to the doctor, as he said he wanted medicine as he was not well. From the doctor’s he went opposite to Mr. DAWSON’s, with a note from the doctor to Mr. DAWSON, advising him to give spiritual aid to the bearer of the note, as he appeared to the doctor to be in a depressed state of mind. Mr. DAWSON not wishing to receive the stranger on his premises on account of a suicide having been recently effected by the late James ORMISTON, accompanied the stranger to Mr. R.O. SCOTT, who seeing him a well dressed and decent looking man, took him in for the night. He ate his supper well, but Mr. SCOTT suspecting by his language, and having been informed by Mr. DAWSON that he was not in his right mind, determined to watch him the whole night, and having taken all his knives and razors, one of which he had out of the case in one of his pockets, from him, and even his neck cloth, let him retire to rest, leaving two boys to sleep at the door of his room to watch him. Towards morning Mr. SCOTT heard a noise, and on going into the room found the rod of the curtain had fallen down, upon which he assisted Mr. SCOTT in putting it up again. Mr. SCOTT asked him if he would have some coffee, and being answered in the affirmative, he went and called the girl to bring some. The girl took the coffee into the room and saw the stranger kneeling on the bed. She ran and told Mr. SCOTT, who immediately came into the room and found he had strangled himself with a yellow silk handkerchief fastened to the rod of the bed, not two feet from the bottom of the bed, with a running knot in the handkerchief. He was immediately cut down, but had breathed his last. The deceased was a man of short, stout and robust stature, and stated that he left Algoa Bay in the “Courier”, Palmer, in September last, for England, where he remained five weeks and returned again to the Colony.
