The LATE MARQUIS of LONDONDERRY. CORONER'S INQUEST: Yesterday at a few minutes before three o'clock a Jury of the most respectable inhabitants in the vicinity of the estate of the late Marquis of LON DONDERRY was empanelled, to inquire into the cause of the death of the above Noble Lord, The Coroner was Mr. JOSEPH CARTTAROf Dept ford. The Inquest was held at the house of the deceased Lord, and to the credit of the indi viduals . who were appointed to superintend the arrangements attendant upon this melancholy occasion, not the slightest attempt was made to keep the proceedings secret. Directions were given to the domestics to admit every person who desired to be present at the inquest.—ln deed publicity seemed rather to he courted than otherwise.—The Jury were immediately sworn in ; the following are their names : WILLIAM MATTEN, Foreman, William Meade, Robert Merrefield, John Johnson, Harry Allen Wyburn, ; John Masters, John Cookson, John Cook, Thomas . Preston, John Storor,' Thomas Harmar, Henry Dean, George Stone. The CORONER addressed them in nearly the following terms :—" Upon no former occasion in the performance of his duty had his feelings been so excited as by the present unfortunate event. He was indeed so much affected that they must perceive he could hardly express himself as he wished. Upon this account he trusted they would excuse any trifling errors which he might commit in the exercise of his duty.— The Gentlemen of the Jury were summoned and sworn t 0... inquire into the causes of the death of a Nobleman, who stood perhaps as high in the public estimation as any man in the country. That his Lordship had met his death under particular circumstances, they doubt less must have learned. But it was his duty to inform them that they must remove from their minds all impressions which should not be borne out by the evidence. The gentlemen whom- he addressed being neighbours of the deceased, were better able to form a just estimate of his character than he was. As a public man, it was impossible for him to weigh his character in any scales that he could hold. In private life he believed the world would admit that a more amiable man could not be , found. Wh e th er the important duties of. the great office which he held pressed upon his mind, and conduced to the melancholy event which they had assembled to investigate, was a circumstance which all probability never could be discover ed. .He understood that his Lordship had for some time past been so. unwell as to require the assistance of a medical attendant. This Gentle man would be examined on the Inquest, and would doubtless be competent to describe the disease and affliction under which his Lordship laboured. That the dreadful blow which de prived the Noble Lord of life was inflicted by his own hand, he believed the Jury, when they came to hear the evidence, could not doubt. He understood it would be proved that no person in the house, except his Lordship, could have com mitted the act. When the Jury should examine the situation of the body, and hear the evidence that Ivould be submitted to them, he was convinced that they would he perfectly' unanimous in that part of their verdict which went to declare the manner in which the deceased met his death. He felt that it was a matter of delicacy to allude to the other part of the verdict, and he would not presume to anticipate what it might be ; but he trusted the result would be that which all good men desired. If the facts which he had heard were proved in evidence, he thought no man could doubt that at the. time he. committed the rash act his Lordship was labouring under a mental delusion. If, however, it should unfor tunately appear that there was not sufficient evi dence to prove what were generally considered the indications of a disordered mind, •he trusted that the Jury would pay some attention to his (the Coroner's) humble opinion, which was, that no man could be in his proper senses at the moment he committed so rash an act as self-murder. His opinion was in consonance with every moral sentiment, and with the informa tion which the wisest of men had given to the world. The Bible declared that a man clung to nothing so strongly as his own life. He therefore viewed it as an axiom, and an ab stract principle, that a man must necessarily be out of his mind at the moment of destroying him self. The Jury, of course, would not adopt his opinion upon this point, unless it were in uni son with their own. He would not longer oc cupy the time and attention of the• Jury than to express his pleasure at seeing so respectable a body of Gentlemen, and to add a hope that they would acquit themselves of their important duty to the satisfaction of the public, as well as of their own consciences. He must apologise for saying a few words more. The body was lying up stairs, and in the room adjoining to that in which it lay, the Marchioness at present was, and from thence it had been found impossible to remove her. To picture to the imagination any thing like the state of that noble lady's mind, was altogether impossible. The partition which divided the room in which the body lay from that which the Marchioness at present occupied was so thin, that the least noise being made in the former could not fail to he heard in the latter. The forms of law, however, required that the jury should view the body, and judge from the external marks which it might exhibit, of the causes which had produced death : he therefore had only to request that the gentlemen would be as silent as possible. He was almost afraid that the creaking of their shoes might be the means of . , .." • • /a .r - 1 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1822 exciting ideas which would wound the feelings of the unhappy Marchioness. Ile was sure, under these circumstances, the jury would do every thing in their power to prevent the least noise, and he might observe that it would be desirable to abstain from talking in the room where the body lay, because any conversation must certain ly be heard through the almost, he might say, paper partition. After the jury had satisfied themselves by viewing the body, they would re turn to execute the remaining part of their duty." During this address of the Coroner, the domes tics of the unfortunate Nlarquis who were in the room, for the,most part, shed tears; indeed, the love which the servants of his Lordship bore towards him was highly creditable both to him and the individuals who composed his household. Before the Jury left the room for the purpose of seeing the body, one of them suggested that his colleagues, as well as Itimserf, should take off their shoes, in order to prevent, as far as pos sible, any noise that might be occasioned by them in walking. This hint was immediately acted upon, and the Jury left the room. The Jury, with the Coroner, then proceeded to the. dressing-room where the corpse of the deceased Nobleman lay. A description of the particular situation of the deceased must give pain to every person of whatever political ereed,and will excite no ordinary feelings in the breast of all. The body lay oit the floor on the right side, with the face inclined to the carpet. There was a stream of , gore that. had run from the window of the apartment to the door, perhaps not less than three or four quarts of blood in all. His Lordship's right hand was dyed in blood. The body was in the precise situation it was placed on the morning of the melancholy occurrence. It 'had not been touched by any person. A cap was on the head, and a long morning gown on the body. Slilipers and stockings were on the feet and legs. The countenance was very pale and ghastly ; the eyes were open. The melancholy scene was truly appalling, and will not be forgotten for a long time by those who witnessed it. The Jury returned to the dining-room, and their names being again called over, they received the follow ing evidence : The first witness called was ANNE ROBINSON, who being sworn, deposed as follows : " I wait upon the Marchioness of Londonderry : I knew the Alarquis of Londonderry : his body now lies up stairs. In my opinion he has been ill during the last fortnight, but parti cularly so sine Monday week. On Monday morning he rang the bell ; I answered it : he inquired why my Lady had not been to see him. Her Ladyship had been with him all night, and I told him so. Her Ladyship at this time was not in the room. I then went away. The bellrang again. When I an swered it he asked if Dr. Bankhead had been to see him ? I told him that Dr. Bankhead had been with him about two, hours and a half in the evening. It was about four in the morning when he asked me this queStion. When I told him that Dr. Bankhead had been with him, he asked what he had said to the Doctor—whether he had talked any nonsense to him, or any thing particular, as he had no recollection on the subject. I replied, that I was not in the room during the time that he talked with the doctor. I then left the room. lie rang again about seven o'clock. I went to him. He then asked me what I wanted there. My Lady was with him at the time. She had been with him since 4 o'clock, and she answered, that my Lord wanted his breakfast.' My Lord and Lady were in bed at the time. I left the room and brought the break fast up. He sat up in the bed and tasted part of it. He found fault with it, and said, ' it was not a breakfast lit for him.' He said there was no butter there : the butte*, however, was on the tray, as usual, and I pointed it out to him. . The man. , ner in which he spoke struck me as being uncommon ; it was in a sharp tone, which was unusual with him. I left the room after this. The bell rang again in about half an hour ; that was about half-past seven. My Lady was in the room at this time, and I cannot tell who rang the bell. When I entered the room he asked me whether Dr. Bankhead had come from town. I told him that Dr. liankhcad had slept in the house.' He then said that he wished to see him. My Lady then got up and came to me at the door, and said something to me. I went to Dr. Bankhead, and gave him my Lord's m essage . I went back to my Lord, and told him that Dr. Bankhead would be with him in two minutes. When my Lord saw me speaking to my Lady, before Heft the room to go to Dr. Bankhead, he said there was a conspiracy against him. My lady at that time desired me to tell Dr. Bankhead that he was wanted as soon as he could conic. 'When I returned and told my Lady that Dr. Bankhead would come, my Lady got out of bed and retired to her dressing-room.' At this moment my Lord also got out of bed, _and turned to the right into his own dressing room. [Several questions were here put to the witness to as certain the precise situation of these rooms. From the answers which she returned, it appeared that the common sleeping room opened into a passage, on either side of which was a dressing-room, Lady Londonderry's on the left, his Lord ship's on the right. At the extremity of the passage was another door, behind which Dr. Bankhead was waiting;.] I had just opened the door of my Lady's dressing-room, into which she had entered, when my Lord rushed past me into his own room. I opened the outside door, and told the circum stance to Dr. Bankhead, who immediately followed my Lord into his dressing-room. I cannot tell. what passed there, but I heard my Lord open his window before the Doctor entered his room. Immediately when the Doctor entered the room he (the Doctor) exclaimed " Oh, my Lord !" or " Oh, my God !" I cannot recollect which. I heard no reply to this from my Lord. I instantly rushed into the room, and 'saw the Doctor with my Lord in his arms. I remained in the room till I saw the Doc tor lay him with his face upon the ground. I saw the blood running from him while Dr. Bankilead held him. I saw a knife. I heard my Lord say nothing. I was - Certainly much alarmed. The knife was in hi s right - hand.—(A penknife with an ivory handle, and upon which there was no appearance of blood, was here shown to the witness.)-1 believe that to be the penknife which 1 saw in my Lord's hands. After staying a few minutes in my Lord's dressing-room, I followed Dr. Bank head to my Lady. 1 had previously raised an alarm, and it was now general throughout the house. To the best of my be lief, my Lord, did not live four minute s af ter I saw him. I did not perceive any wound nor any blood while he was in his bed room. No person was with him in the interval between his leav ing his dressing-room and his death but Dr. Bankhead. His state of mind appeared to be very incorrect for the last three or four days of his life. He appeared to be very wild in dery thing he said or did. He wanted from me a box which he said Lord Clanwilliam had given to me. His Lordship, however, had never given me any. He also asked me for his keys, when he had them aboutthim. During the last fortnight he was accus tomed to say that everybody had conspired against him. He was very severe in his manner of speaking, which I never no ticed before, he being in general mild and kind. When he saw two people speaking together, he always said, There is a con spiracy laid against me.' A great many circumstances induce me to believe that he was out of his mind a fOrtnight before his death. He scolded my Lady on Sunday afternoon, because, as he said, she had not been near him all day, she had entirely forsaken him. Her Ladyship, however, had been sitting with • him all the morning." The witness, in conclusion, repeated her belief that his Lordship had been in a state of mental delu sion for some weeks previous to his death. The second witness examined was CHARLES BANKHEAD, M. D., of Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square. " On last Friday afternoon, at 5 o'clock,, I received a note from Lady Londonderry, de siring me to come as soon as I could to see the Marquis of Londonderry, at his house in St. James's-square. Her note stated that she was very anxious about his Lordship, as she thought he was veey ill and very nervous; that they were to leave tower for *North-Cray at seven o'clock in the evening, and that she hoped I would come before that hour. I arrived in St. James's--square at six o'clock, and found my Lord and Lady alone in the drawing-room. Upon feeling his pulse I conceived him to be exceedingly ill. He complained of a severe head-ache, and of a contusion of recol lection. Ile looked pale, and was very much distressed in his matinee-. I told him that I thought it was necessary that lie should be cupped, and that I would stay and dine with his lady and himself whilst the copper cant: The cupper soon arrived, and took seven ounces of blood Akan the nape of his Loidship's neck. After the operation was performed, he stated that he was very much relieved, and I advised him to lay himself quietly down on the sofa for half an hour; and as he had scarcely eaten the whole day, to take a cup of tea beebre he got into tue car riage to return to North Cray. He followed my advice, and laid himself down on the couch, where he remained very tran quil. After this he drank two cups of tea. I waited until I saw my Lady and himself get into the carriage in order to re turn to North Cray. Before his departure his Lordship said that as I must be sure he was very ill, he expected that I would come to North Cray and stay all-Saturday night, and if possi ble, all Sunday. I sent with him some opening medicines, which he was to take early on Saturday, in order that I might know the, affect they had produced on my arrival. I know that he took these powders on Saturday. I arrived at North Cray about 7 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. I understood that his Lordship had not been out of bed all day, andl immediately proceeded to his bed-room. On entering his bed-room, I ob served that his manner of looking at me expressed suspicion and alarm. He said it was very odd that I should come into his bed: room first, before going into the dining-room below. I answered that I had dined in town, and knowing that the faraily were at dinner' down stairs; I had come to visit hint. Upon this he made a reply which surprised me exceedingly. It was to this effect— that I seemed particularly grave in my mariner, and that something must 'have happened amiss. He then asked me abruptly whether I had any thing unpleasant to tell him ? I answered, 4 . No ; that I was surprised at his question, and the manner in which it was proposed.' He then said, 4 the truth was, that he had reason to be suspicious in some degree, but that he hoped that I would be the last person who would engage in any thing that would be injurious to him.' His manner of saying this was so unusual and so disturbed, as to satisfy me that he was at the moment labouring under men tal delusion. I entreated him to be very tranquil, and pre.: scribed for him some more cooling and aperient Medicines, confined him to barley water, and allowed him slops only. I re mained with hint during Saturday night, and till one o'clock on Sanday morning. Though his fever was not very high dur , ing any part of this time, yet the incoherence of his, speech and the uncomfortableness of his manner continued un altered. During Sunday I visited him frequently and con tinued with him in the evening till half-past twelve o'clock. I advised him to be as tranquil as possible, and told him that 1 would endeavour to persuade my Lady to come to bed: —I slept in a room very near to that of his Lordship. On Monday morning, about seven o'clock, Mrs. Robinson, my Lady Londonderry's maid, came to my room door, anti asked if I was dressed, telling me, 4 my Lord wished to see me by and. by.' I answered, that I was ready to come that moment ; but Mrs. Robinson said, that she did not wish me to come then, because her Ladyship had not left the bed-room. In about half an hour, she returned again, and said, that his ' Lordship would be glad to see me immediately, as her Lady ship was putting on her gown, in order to go into her own dressing-room. On walking from my own room to Lord Lon donderry's bed-room, I observed that the door of the latter was open, and could perceive that his Lordship was not in it. an instant Mrs. Robinson said to me, His Lordship has gone into his dressing-room.' I stepped into his dressing room, and saw him in lila dressing gown,. standing with his front towards the window, which was opposite to the door at which I entered. His face.was directed towards the ceiling. Without turning his head, on the instant he heard my step he exclaim ed, " Bankhead, let me fall upon your arm —'tis all over." A-s quickly as possible I ran to him, thinking he was faint ing and going to fall. I caught him in my arms as he was falling, and perceived that he had a knife in his right hand, very firmly clenched, and all over blood. I did not see him use it : he must have used it before I came into the room.— In falling he declined upon one side, and the blood burst from him like a torrent from• a watering pot. I was unable to support him, and he fell out of my arms. 1 think the wound must have'been inflicted as seen as I put my foot on the' threshold of the door, as its nature was such that the extisnction of life must have followed it in the twinkling of an eye. I think that not less than two quarts of blood flowed from him in one minute. I am satisfied that a minute did not elapse from the moment of my entering the room until he died, and during that time he said not a word except that which I have already mentioned. It was impossible that any human being could have inflicted the wound but himself. Having known him in timately for the last 30 years, I have no hesitation in saying that he was perfectly insane when he committed this ace had noticed a great decline in the general habit of his health for some weeks prior to his death, but I . was not aware of the mental delusion under which he was labouring till within three or four days of his decease." The gentlemen connected with the public press, and the noblemen and gentlemen spectators of the melancholy inquiry, were requested by the Coroner to withdraw from the room whilst the Jury conferred together as to the necessity of more evidence being produced, or whether they were satisfied with the evidence that had already been elicited. The Jurors were discussing the question for a quarter of an hour, and at their re quest the Coroner drew up a special verdict. The doors were then thrown open, and the per sons were again admitted. The CORONER. said that the Jury were satisfied with the evidence that had been adduced, and returned a verdict, which he then proceeded to read, and was in substance as follows : " That on the 12th August, and some days previously thereto, the Marquis of Londonderry was in a state of derange ment of mind, and that on the morning of the said 12th August, at the house of the said Marquis, at North Cray, his Lordship being in a state of insanity, did, with a certain knife made of iron and steel, stab, cut, and inflict a certain wound of the length of one inch, and two inches in depth, on the left side of his throat, from which said wound, and the loss of blood occasioned thereby, the said Marquis, on the said morning, came to his death." After the verdict had been returned, the Jury proceeded individually to sign the presentment of the inquisition, and strangers retired ; the Coroner very politely sent a message to the Gen tlemen connected with the press, stating, that the business was not entirely finished. On their re turn to the inquest-room the Coroner proceeded to address the Jury ;• he said, that in a case like the present he should not be travelling out of the line of his duty if he offered his opinion upon the decision that had been come to by the Jury after their investigation of this very melancholy and lamentable case. After the evidence that they had received, he felt assured they could not have come conscientiously to any other verdict than that which they had done. lie trusted that no one would charge him, in the discharge of the duties of his office, with improperly giv ing his opinion ; but, if it was any satisfac tion to the Jury or to the public in general, he must say that the mind of the deceased was at the time he committed the act, ar►d previously, in a deranged state. A number of witnesses could have been produced, who would have given testi mony in proof of his Lordship's mental defection prior to the 9th of August ; but as his Lordship diitil , 1 0 : 1 4 , _ . ~_0,04,:, • :. w,...„- -; ----- -_- - ;'•,N.*;ln ___ 17 ,, ,iW • ~/,s,,b, ~ // it . r i 1 . \ I Pt, ( 1 31 T u lic'''PtI PRICE S nvtloENct. . . been in public since that period, it . was thought best to take only' such evidence as re. ferred to his Lorclship's 'state oS t ibinfi subsequent to that period till the day ofh:s dra.tit. The CORONER then complimented the Jury . upon the up r i g ht and honest manner in which they had discharged their duty to the country, and he e xp resse d hi mse lf particu j arly' pleased' with their decision. .Dr. ilankhead then produced a letter from his pocket, which he delivered into the, hands of the Coroner. The CORONER again addressed the Jury and. auditory. He stated that the document he then held in his hand he considered to be of great im portance, and which, had it been considered ne cessary, would have been produced to the Jury. It was a letter written by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, respecting the deceased Marquis prior to the commis:loll of the fatal act,i and it chewed that such had .been the ..unusual con duct of the deceased„ that suspicion had been excited in the, mind of his Grace that the Mar quis's intellects had been consideyably affected. The follnWing is a copy of the letter:-- Apsley pbtlsc, August 9. " Dear Sir,—l called upon you with the intention of talking to you on the subject of the health of Lord Londonderry, and to request of you that you will call on him. I told his Lord ship that, he was unwell, and particularly requested him to send for you ; but ltist he should not, I sincerely hope that you will contrive by some pretence to go down to his Lordship. I have no doubt he is very unwell. He appears to me to have been excessively harassed, much fatigued, and over-worked during the late Session of Parliament ; and I have no doubt he Tabours under mental delirium ; at least this is my impression. I beg that you'll never mention to anyone what I have told you respecting his Lordship. I am, &c. " WELLINGTON.. " To Charles Bankhead, M. D., &c." After the above document had been read filo Jury expressed their thanks to the Coroner, and stated, that the letter just rend tended to shew the propriety of the decision they had come to by their verdict. The Jury were then dismissed. The knife with which the fatal deed •was per petrated bylas - Lordship, was larger hi size than a common penknife. It had a w hit e handle, and was a clasp'-knife, with the.blade bent or hooked like a scimitar. It was viewed with great minuteness by the Coroner, the Jurors, and many persons who were present during the above inquiry, which was attended by many Noblemen and Gentlemen, political friends and supporters of the late Nobl , - Martinis. It was stated that several of the Op position were present also. We are happy to hear so favourable a report last evening of her Ladyship's health. She was said to he much more composed, and, under all circumstance, was as well as could be expected. Last night, after the Jury had returned their verdict, the body of the Marquis was laid out on a bed ready for placing in a coffin. The preparations for the funeral, which it is said will take place as pri vately-as possible, are in great forwardness. We observed Lord CLANWILLIAM, Lord G.
