The Coroners report states that James Edward Charles LECKIE identified his sons body.

www.lynly.gen.nz


James Edward Charles LECKIE being sworn saith: - I am a butcher at present unemployed and working on relief works. I have identified the body of my son James Stewart LECKIE lying at the Wellington Morgue. Deceased left home, No 92 Austin Street at 7.15am on 5 May and he was then in his usual spirits and state of health. I have no recollection of him ever being under medical attention. About a fortnight ago he went to the Public Hospital with the view of getting an exemption from going into the Unemployment Relief Camps. I under stand that he was told there that he would have to go under a light operation before he would be fit to go into the above mentioned Camps. Deceased was a single man 35 years of age and he has resided with his mother and me all his life. I have never heard him complain of feeling unwell. Owing to the fact that the working members of the family have all been on relief works, I am of the opinion that he was not getting sufficient of the proper food to sustain him while he was engaged in the heavy work that he was called upon to do. He was also worried over the fact that the rest of the family were not able to get the necessaries of life. Taken and sworn this day of May 1932 at Wellington in the Dominion of New Zealand, before me, T Ballwell (sic) Coroner.

Included in the coroners report was a letter from James’ father, which reads:

James Edward Charles Leckie being sworn saith:- I am a butcher at present unemployed and working on releif works. I have identified the body of my son James Stewart Leckie lying at the Wellington Morgue. Deceased left home No 92 Austin Street ay 7.15 am on 5 May and he was then in his usual spirits and state of health. I have no recollection of him ever being under medical attention. About a fortnight ago he went to the public hospital with the view of getting an exemption from going into the Unemployment Relief Camps. I understand that he was told there that he would have to go under a slight operation before he would be fit to go into the above-mentioned Camps. Deceased was a single man 35 years of age and he has resided with his mother and me all his life. I have never heard him complain of felling unwell. Owing to the fact that the working members of the family have all been on relief works. I am of the opinion that he was not getting sufficient of proper food to sustain him while he was engaged in the heavy work that he was called upon to do. He was also worried over the fact that the rest of the family were not able to get the necessaries of life. Signed J E C Leckie Taken and sworn this 11
