INQVIIST ON FLANAGAN IN NEmOATE.—Yesterday
an inquest was held in Newfrate, before Mr. W. Payne,
coroner for the City, end in the presence of the sheriff., on
the body of henry Martin Flsnapan, whose death by suicide
was recorded yesterday. The deceased, it will be recol-
lected, had been committed to the above prison on a charge
of obtaining money on a false pretence of providing legal
assistance for a prisoner at the Middlesex Sessions. It ap
peered from the evidence of I)evonshire and Humphrey',
turnkeys of the prison, that shout 7 o'clock on Monday morn-
ing the deceased was seen crossing the yard and entering his
cell, previous to which a pail of water had been placed in his
cell at his request, for the purpose of washing himself. A
few minutes afterwards Humphreys had occasion to visit
the cell, but finding some obstruction to his en-
trance, forced open the door, when he discovered
the deceased on his knees, bending over, with his head
immersed in a nail of water. A handkerchief was tied
round his neck, but not so tightly as to cause strangulation.
Witness gave the alarm, and the deceased was instantly con-
veyed to • warm bath, being thin to all appearance quite dead.
Medical aid was sent for, and on the arrival of Mr. Wilder,
of Ilattoa-garden, that gentleman, after attempting ineffec-
tually to bleed him, pronounced life extinct. The turnkey
further stated, that he had observed no difference in the
manner of the deceased from the time of his admittance to
that of his committing the fatal act. The wife and son of
the unfortunate man were also examined, and both I
ascribed the commission of the act to a feeling
of depression, caused by the desertion of his friends,
who had not visited him once in the prison
since his confinement, which seemed to be felt by
him the more severely on account ef his having been
previously addicted to drinking habits, lie had also ex-
fear that he should not be defended on his trial,
CliZed a
unnequainted with the fact that Mr. Swan, solicitor,
of eiray's-iiiii.placie, had taken means to secure the aid of
counsel. Letter., which had been found in the hat of the
deceased when discovered, as stated, in the cell, were read,
one of which, addressed to his wife, was as follows :
" My dearest Eliss,—l am no more, after thirty-three years
being happy together. My love and blessings to all to
family. Farewell, for ever, my dearest love. If you will
write to the Duke of Richmond, Lord Brougham, and tke
Marquis of Anglesea, who were intimately acquainted with
my brother, they will put you in the way to do something
to get our property in Ireland. It is in both Journals of
the Houses of Parliament. If you will write to the lion.
Mr. Ellis, my friend, he will kelp you. I should like
Mr. Hayden end all my friends to follow me to the grave.
Bury me with Henry. The Lord have inerey on my soul.
Don't fret, we shall meet in Heaven. Two other
letters were addresevil to the Queen, Prince Albert, and
the public, in which the dereased strongly protected his in.
nomnee, and expressed a hope that his wife and family
would he t leen rare of. After the evidence of the surgeon
who was summoned had been %skin, the coroner briefly
called the silent' of the jury to the melancholy facia of
the case, and a verdict of "'temporary insanity" was re-
turned.—While the inquest was proceeding the widow of
the dammed we tolled in by the direction of the sheriffs,
who, after amprokag their commiseration, presented her
with a 6J. note.
