SHOCKING SUICIDE.—On Tuesday an inquest was
held in the Royal Infirmary, Manchester, before Mr. Iler-
ford, on the body of a girl named Martha Howarth, aged
19. Deceased had lived as a maid servant with Mr. John
Broadbent, a cotton manufacturer, at No. 18, Cuter-
street, for the last eight or nine weeks. Mr. Broadbent
went out of town on Saturday last, and whilst making
preparations for his departure heard deceased vomiting
in the back yard. She told him she felt relieved after
it, and he gave her a penny to buy some muscles,
of which she was very fond. Mr. Broadbent sent a girl
named Teresa Butler, to sleep with deceased whilst he was
absent. Dectased let this woman out soon after six o'clock
on Monday morning, without dressing herself, and she did
not then appear to be low-spirited. Mr. Broadbent re-
turned from Oldham about eleven o'clock, and was unable
to obtain an entrance except by a ladder through one of
the upper front windows. He saw some blood on the bed,
which made him think something serious might base hap-
pened. Ile ran back to get a surgeon, and, after a time,
on searching the bed, they were unable to find her. A
man nsmed Brown (mind deceased in the cistern, with her
knees upwards. Brown thought she might have slid her-
self in feet foremost, but he could not be sure of it.
He found a bread knife with marks of blood en it in the
room where she slept, and traced drops of blood from her
bed to the door. There was a severe cut on the right side
of deeessed's neck, and a scar on the other side. There
was not the slightest indication of a struggle having taken
place. It appeared as it she had attempted to destroy her-
self while in bed There was also some blood opposite to
the looking.glasa in her master's room. The bed was eery
little stained. The knife was found at the side of the bed.
She lied only a chemise on when found in the cistern. Mr.
Broadbent had not observed that she was depressed in
spirits, but understood she bad been talking about some
young man. Mrs. Ana Howarth, deceased's mother, said
her daughter had been low-spirited for about • fortnight.
On Sunday night she was at home, and said she felt sick.
She had never opened her mind to witness about anything.
The jury found a verdict to the circa that deceased de-
stroyed herself under the influence of temporary insanity.

new that recourse must be had to the ballot in this county,
the deficit on the whole amounting to about 600.—Lirer-
