DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yegerthlyllll inquest was
held before Mr. Baker, coroner, and a jury, at the Prince
of Wales Tavern, Stepney, on the body of Mr. James
Bevan, aged 67 years, lately residing in Fairfield-place,
Stepney. The deceased was formerly in the service of the
Hon. East India Company, and for many years was in the
receipt of a pension of 60/. a year. He was also the owner
of several houses. For some time past he had been in a
very desponding state of mind, caused by injuries which he
had received, and he sought consolation in a strict perform-
ance of his religious duties, and was constantly reading his
Bible. His depression had lately increased, and he often
complained of pain, in the head. On Saturday last a noise
was heard in his roam, and his servant, on proceeding there,
found her master with his throat cut, and a razor with
which he had committed the act lying by his side. The
wound was bleeding profusely, and the deceased expired
early on Sunday morning. It was stated that the deceased
once received a severe blow on the head from a marling
spike, which seriously injured him, and that there could bi;
no doubt whatever he was, insane when he committed the
act which deprived him of life. The jury returned a ver-
dict of " Temporary insanity."
SUICIDE FROM EXCESSIVE ANXlETY.—Yesterday,
Mr. William rapt:: held an inquest at the White Hart
Tavern, Ahchurch-lane, King William-street, City, on view
of the body of Mr. G. Eaton, aged 58, fishing-tackle manu-
facturer, Nos. 6 and 7, Crooked-lane. George Dyson, late
in the service of deceased, said he hail known him 20 years.
On the previous morning, about half-past 9 o'clock, he saw
him in the counting house. Near 10 o'clock lie heard his
daughter scream. She had found her father in his bedroom
suspended by a rope from the bedpost. Witness went then
immediately, and removed the body. Life was then ex-
tinct. Mr. W. Walters, No. I, Arthur-street-west, stated
that he had known deceased 40 years. He saw him on
Monday afternoon, when he was very low spirited. He
remarked that he had a great deal of trouble, and that he
was fearful he should die in the workhouse. This was a
! delusion on his part, as there was not the slightest cause for
such an apprehension. The deceased was a trustee to some
property, which caused attacks anxiety. Ile was suffer-
ing from a severe bilious and was very nervous.
Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
