  John Mann - Inquest: Fatal Carelessness SOURCE: ‘National Library of New Zealand.’ https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz . Grey River Argus, 20 MAY 1884, Page 2. FATAL CARELESSNESS. Christchurch, May 18. At the inquest on the body of Falvey, at Rakaia, John Mann, by the advice of his lawyer refused to give evidence, but the other witnesses showed that he had acknowledged having mixed strychnine with vinegar in a jug some time ago, for the purpose of killing rats or birds. Subsequently he had thrown the contents of the jug away, but had not washed it. When taking whisky from a jar to put it in a bottle, he used the same jug. The medical evidence was to the effect that if vinegar was weak it would not dissolve the crystals of strychnine, which would adhere to the jug, but strong spirit would at once dissolve them. The opinion of the men who drank the whisky was at first that Mann had played a practical joke. The jury returned an open verdict.
