SHOCKING DEATH OF A JILTED Lovau.
On Wednesday an inquest was bold at Exeter on the
body of • gentlein.n named John Siuman, aged about
45. The deceased was possessed of a considerable
private income, but vu of very eccentric habit.. He
lived in a large bones at Exeter, handsomely furnished,
but k. ph no servant', and would not allow any one
inside his house to do any domestic work, performing
it all himself: Some few month. ago he became
enamoured of • young girl of poor parentage. and
made her a number of valuable presents, bol 'after a
little while he was jilted. This seems to have preyed
upon he mind, and he became afflicted with • morbid
melancholy bordering on insanity. When friends
andeavounA to rouse him up from his state of depres-
sion he used to say that at night becontineally wrestled
with the devil, and that he generally overcame him
by quoting • psseage of Saiptare. He was last seen
alive on saturday morning, and a neighbour not seeing
him after that for several days communicated with the
police, and on tne house being forced the unfortunate
man was discovered in his bedroom, lying on the fi 'or
in a state of nudity, quite dead. He was fearfully
bruised on the shoulders, elbows, an arms, and in fact
his whole body was a mass of bruismi. Across his
lower extremities theist were marks of burns, as if he
had fallen against the fire.grate. There could be no
doubt that the poor fellow had been seized with • fit,
and that he had had an awful struggle with death.
The returned a verdict of "Found dead, but not by
violenoe."

of the pastryoook. The defendant came to the shop,
and thereby became acquainted with the plaintiff, and
she occompanied him to some places of entertainment-
In a short time she left the pastryoook's and went to
Bee as the housekeeper of the defendant. The
defendant's establisheneet consisted of himself, two
assistants. the plaintiff, and a girl. On Christmas
Fine( 1868 the assistants bad gone home, and the
tiff ano defendant were the only persons in the
ones. The plaintiff removed the supper things, and
the defendant gave her a glass of wine, which she
; drank. She left the room, and returned for some
articles. The defendant then gave her another glass
of wine. As soon as she had drank it she felt very
funny: She became insensible, and next monde'
found herself in the defendant's bed. She said she
would go immediately to Liverpool, but the defendant
persuaded her to remain, and said he would marry
her. This induced the plaintiff to remain. She lived
with LIM for 18 months after this. In October, 1869,
she was delivered of • child. She still reaiained with
him. In July, last year, the defendant became tired
of her, and treated her with violenoe, but in the pre-
vious month the plaintiff's mother came to town and
saw the defendant, who told her he would make the
plaintiff his wife. The plaintiff afterwards west out as
• wet nurse, bat afterwards returned and lived with
the defendant until his oonduot was such that she was
obliged to leave him. The defendant had told her
that he had £3OO. He refused to fulfil his promise,
and she brought this action for damages. The plaintsff,,
her mother. and other persons swore that the Wen.
dant had said he should marry the plaintiff. For the
defence it was argued that the charge against the
defendant was an abominable untruth. Defendant
had fabrioited a tale that defendant bad drugged her.
But if this had been the case would she not at ono°

was 30 years of age. The plaintiff had called at his

He had never gone out with her before she came into
his service. On the 'Obristinu night he was ill, and
she said "Go to bed, lite a good boy, and I will bring

that her mother said she knew a widower who would
