BLANDPORD.

DORSET COUNTY FRIENDLY ROO ETV. —The second annual
meeting of the Illandfonl branch of this anciety WU held
in the Infant Schoolroom on Tuesday evening. There are
Ei members in this young Mulch, and the balance sheet
shows well in their favour. _ _

iii-r....-.--A-ii—ia.;;;;C;Vas held at Mr. Burtitt's, the
Railway Hotel, on Monday, before Mr. W. 11. Atkinson,
coroner, on the body f John Henry Marshall, stonemason,
of Illandfonl, who committed suicide by taking poison,
.m the satunlay proi iota. Mr. Charles 'Hotting was
chosen foreman of the Jury. Mr. Charles Ingram,
1.1t.r.5., of Blandford, deposed: I have known the
diseased for many years and have attended bin, from
time to tune professionally. On Saturday last, about
halt-past four in the afternoon, I was sent for to am him.
I went and found I lying on the floor violently sick,
awl in an agony •f pain. I onkel him what he had done,
he is
dnted to the bottle prnluced and said "I have taken
that.' I asked him what WM in the bottle he replied i
" what is in the box in the brown bag." I gave him an
emetic. he mull scarcely speak, and was: then in a dying
date. I took the bottle and the powler home with tue and
analy,ed it, and found it to 1,11 an acetate commonly called
sugar of load ;itix a vindent poison. lieceased said " I
swallowed all that ;" which in my opinion would lie about
five ounces of fluid containing I should think half an
ounce of sugar of lead at the kast —half a dram would

him again two hours later, lie haft then just exulted.

I have seen him many tames previously. The
last them was about six weeks ago ; he then appeared to
In' in a very low, dejecte.l state. I attended him some
time ago, when he was thrown from his horse and
fractured his skull. Under the excitement of drink, he
wasl to put himself into most uncontrollable paroxysms of
rage, without any apparent cause. When I saw him on
Saturday h., was in such a dreadful state of pain he could
hardly steak: he jerked the words between his vomiting
, but he was quite coherent. FrOM the state of his mind
for some time past I should never have been surprised to
hear that he had cmninitted suicide or murder, aa he
frequently threatened to do no. From what I have seen
and hoed of him I do not think at the time he took the
poison mentioned he could have been in a right state of
mind. Mr. Ingram spoke roost feelingly of the state of
want and suffering which the site and seven children of
the deceased had endured in the most patient and uncom-
plaining manner, and expressed a wish that something
might be recommended by the juiT or coroner, to call the
attention of the benevolent to their great and urgent
necessities. —The coroner having summoned up the
evidence the jury returned a verdict of " Ten,
Insanity." The jurymen and Mr. Ingrain kindj. kit
their fen to the widow and ehiblren of docemiesi.
