Richard Vippaud

Obituary

Our Ballarat correspondent, writing under yesterday's date; says : — A working jeweller, named Richard Vippaud, in the employ of Mr Joseph Sleep, committed suicide this morning at his residence, Soldier's-Hill, by cutting his throat with a razor. The deceased, who had been living in Ballarat for many years, had for the last six months, since the death of his wife, been in despondent spirits, and during the last fortnight had been under medical supervision. An inquest this afternoon resulted in a verdict of suicide whilst laboring under temporary insanity.
