CASE 07 DI tirsKEN IDENTITY.—On
the 21st November, a man committed suicide by banging
himself, he being identified at the inquest (held before W.
It. Dunstan, Esq., at Nortbwirh). u Joseph liebbington,
of Calverley, Cheshire. (In Saturday week the supposed
selfouurden.r was discovered comfortably ensconced iu the
NlL:Attach Workhouse, where he now is, and apparently in
good health. At the inquiry into the cense of death, two
boatmeu deposed that they were intimately acquainted
with him "when alit')." A police-ordcer was there-
fore at once despatched in a conveyance a dia-
. tance of Mitten or eighteen miles, who tint called at
John Bebliitigton's, Calverley statioc, one of the con-
' coved brothers of the deeeesed, but he refused to have
anything to do with tho interment or expenses thereof, in
consequence of which the constable rode off to George BA-
bingtoo, another supposed brother of the self•murdered man,
who, on bearing of his unfortunate end, naturally exhibited
strong feelings of sorrow at the death of his brother, and
.dietely Proceeded to the spot where the r. is on. lay.
Du viewing the body he declared it to be that of his brother
Joseph, although the features were much distorted, and
the clothing not what be expected to Led on him; lie, however,

orders for a c.,ffin, hired horses and beanie, also bearers, to
deposit him in the ground. fixed the tune of 'element.,

eleven years of age) as mourners, repaired to the place
where the corpse 1 sy, and on again viewing the body,
George said that he believed it to be that of bin brother
Joseph, although his wife thought &trete:Ley, let on
the boy seeing it hod saying that it his " Uncle
Joseph:" she became satisfied, and the funeral rites
were daily performed, the expenses of which amounted
to nearly 7!., which were defrayed by George. t)u his
return home he visited his brother Jobe, and asked him
for his moiety toward. the funeral •IptOftS, when .lohn

it has now come to light that "Joseph" Lea not yet
parted this life, but is quietly installed in the Naetwich
Union Workhouse. Of crane the inquest held was over
some person unknown se yet, but. as already stated, it was
not over Joseph Belkington. The registration of Bet.
