SUICIDE ON A RAlLWAT.—Yeaterday, Mr. Wilclev,
M.P., held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, 4t.
Pancras, on the body of James Young, 3.5, Augustin-
street, Regent's-park, who committed suicide on Tuesday
last, by placing his head under the wheels of a train which
was coining by Victoria-bridge. The accident was wit-
nessed by a policeman on the line, who afterwards removed
the body, which was of course quite lifeless. Several wit-
nesses gave evidence as to the moody state of his mind pre•
vious to the committal of the act. The principal of these
stated that he last Raw him on Monday afternoon, when the
unfortunate gentleman said he felt so low spirited that he
would give a thousand pounds to any man who would cut
his throat. Witness endeavoured to cheer him by obacry.
ing that as the summer advanced his spirits would rise
but deceased continued to talk in a very gloomy manner,
sod at parting said, "God bless you; I shall never be
happy, but I hope you will." Deceased never gave any
reason fur his state of mind. Verdict—" Temporary
insanity."
CITE MCRDER ON LATELY-COMMON, LANCASHIRE
—The adjourned inquest on the body of George Green, the
man who is supposed to have been murdered on Lately-
common, near Leigh, on the night of Wednesday week,
and afterwards thrown into a pond, was held yesterday
at the Greyhound public-house, in the little village of
Bedford. Scarcely anything has transpired to throw light
on the shocking transaction, beyond what we stated on
Monday. A man named Thomas Hilton was appre-
hended on Thursday night, by the county police at
Leigh (under the superintendence of Mr. Fowler),
on suspicion of being concerned in the murder,'
but the facts against him at present are unimportant.
Only one additional witness was brought forward at the ad-
journed inquest yesterday, and that was Green, the beer-1
house-keeper at Marsland Green, Astley. His evidence, !
however, did not tend to unravel the mystery which hangs
over the case. The police having stated that they had no
further evidence to produce, the coroner left the jury to de-
termine whether they would close their proceedings "ith a
verdict now, and leave the matter for further investigations
before the magistrates or further adjourn the inquest.
After a brief consultation, the jury took the former course,
, and returned a verdict of •' Wilful murder against some
'person or persons unknown."
