Omelette Goddard than depend that she was cook to the
dammed, who was, she believed, about 35 or 36 years of
sge. Oa entering the bedroom, after being called by the
page, she found her master lying cm his back, with a book
at his side as though he had been reading. The book was
a bible, which he always used in his bedroom. She had
lived with him a year and nine minim She saw him last
alive in the hall on Monday morning, about 11 o'clock,
when he had just returned from the country. While speak-
ing to her he held his hand to his head.
[The witness here imitated the action ] He did
not complain to her of pain in his head. He ap-
peared very much altered after Mr. Cooper's (his
father-in-law's) death, about last Christmas. Within the
last month he had not been like the same man. This change
formed the subject of remark between herself and the last
witness. When he ordered anything, he appeared after-
wards to have forgotten that he hat done so. Instead of
telling witness to co anything he would point, and when she
did sot appear to undsntand, he would say, "Dear me,
can't you see ?" His conduct altogether bad been different,
within the last four or five weeks, from what it had been pre-
viously, Sometimes he would forget to order his dinner,
and he was afterwards surprised at the emission. His habits
were sober. The boy told her, on Monday night, that
he thought his master bed angered : to which she replied
that he might be giddy, that helooked unwell, end that he had
put his hand to his head that morning. He usually rang
the bell at seven o'clock In the morning, but he did not uo
so on Tuesday morning. Be mast have been down stain, for
the shutters is two rooms had been opened. He was quite
maraud when witans found him in bed ; he had gone to
bed again. At one time he used to talk and seem cheerful,
bat lately that had not been the can. He usually got up
before herself and the boy, at about six er half-put via
o'clock. Two letters were found by witneu on a slab in the
lull after his death, ore addressed to Mrs. Morton and the
other to Mr. Atkinson. These letters were produced, and
the witness stated that she believed the address on both to
be in Mr. Morton's handwriting.
James Powell, a member of the College of Surgeons, de-
posed that he had known the deceased, who was about 36
years of age, for several years. The deceased was surgeon to
the Queen's Bench Prison and to University College HOB.

was a distinguished man in his profession. Witness was
sent for on Tueseay moraine at half-past 9, and on going into
deceased's bedroom be found him lying in the k d on his
back, perfectly straight, under the bed-clethes, which
reached es high as the chess, while the eyelids were half
closed. The body was nearly cold, and witness at once pro-
solaced the deceased to be dead Discovered • smell bottle
amongst the t idol( thee. An ounce glass stopper bottle was
then produced as the bottle rehired to, and the witness, on
smelling it, declared that it emitted a strongi smell of prussic
acid.
John Erichsoo, assistant urgent of University College
Hospital, stated that he had examined the brain of the de-
ceased. He had found considerable venous congestion of
the sinuses within the skull, also congestion of the surface
of the brain end of the membranes generally. The blood
was Suitt and dark, and emitted • stroirg odour efpnissic acid.
The membranes of the brain were slightly adherent, mote so
than usual, on the upper surface of both hemispheres. There
was a alight opacity of the araehnoid. There was •
email quantiey of lymph evidently of long etaniinp.
Alfred Baring Garrard, assistankohyucian at University
College Hospital, deposed to his having examined the con-
tents of the deceased's stomach, and discovered in them
about halt an ounce of prussic acid of pharmacopoeia
strength. He bad not the least doubt that the deemed died
from taking this poison. (The witness then produced
the prussic acid which he had obtained by analysis.)
The Coroner raid that the evidence which they had hurl
Must hays satisfied the jury that the deceased had lost his
life from the effects of prussic acid, and also that the taking
of it was his own set. It now became necessary to ascertain
what was the deceased's state of mind at the time of, or im-
mediately before, the taking of the poison.
The Foreman intimated that the jury were satisfied as to
the fact that prussic acid had been taken by the deceased.
The Coroner said that, before proceeding fru ther with the
inquiry, he must express his regret that the state of the law
war such as to require this inuoduction of circumstance.,
which must leave • painful impression on the minds of role..
tivn. He sincerely hoped they would live is see the time
when the law would in that wspect be altered.
Mr. Erlcharn, Mr. Powell, and Mr. Steadman. then gave
evidence as to the low spirits under which deceased labours d
and deposed to other circumstances showing the disordered
state of Mr. Morton's mind.
The following letters, found in the hall, as mentioned
above, alter the deceased's death, were then reed. The

The Coroner thought that, under the circumstances, the
jury would be jostled in coming to the conclusion that the
downed was of unsound mind. His death wee muck to be
deplored. He MU a promising men, had a fine mind, and
was universally respected in his profession. It appeared from
his own memoranda that his feelings were often suicidal.

wsed tionunitted suicide by taking pewit; acid, while in an

MANCHUTER MINIMAL ELECTION.—The eleo-
tion of tows-councillors to day has paned wra. rather

quietly. In four of the 15 ward; a new Councillor has taken
the place of a retiring one, by arrangement, and without
contest. In all nine wards have gone uncontested. For six
wards only have Mere been contests, and though there has
bees a fair " infusion " of what is termed " now blood, " by
new men in most of thee*, there was nothing of a political
Miramar fa the contests, and very little enticement was
created. It is expected that Mr. John Potter will be re-
elected mayor without a *utast.
LICENSED CUSTOMS' AGENTS.—A public) notice
board has been placed in the entrance lobby of the Custom-
lumen stating that a list is subjoined of the names of the
several parties licensed and authorised by the Lords of the
Treasury or Commissioners of Custom. to act as agents for
the public, as well as of lightermen and careen licensed for
the several pupaes attaching to their occupation by the
same authorities. The notice states the name and situation
of the office of the registrar of the privileges appertaining to
thy several parties mentioned.
THE NEW BANKRUPTCY Acr.—A case occurred in
the Exeter Banktuptcy Court on Wednesday week lut.which
shwa the advantage of the new law over the old. A trader
being about to sell his stock in trade and furniture, with a
view to leave the country, as it was supposed, had advertised
the sale of the whole of his property to tale place on
Wednesday last, at one o'clock, At 11.50 on that day, that
is, about 1 hoar and 10 minutes before the sale was to take
place, a creditor came into the court and filed a petition for
adjudication against him, the trading petitioring creditor's
debt, and an act of bankruptcy was proved, within au hour
from filing the petition, the sale was stopped, the man ad-
judged bankrupt, and the manager being in possession the
property was saved for the crediton. Under the old law it
would have taken three or four days at least, and then this
would have bean sold and the party out of the wsy, the resi-
dence of the bankrupt being eight miles from Exeter, and
not approachable be railway.
FUZTLIER ATTEMPTS AT INCENDIARISM.—On the
night et Thursday, the 25th inst., another and novel at-
tempt was made to burn down the farm premises of Mr
William Young, farmer and grocer, of Cheveley. It ap-
pears that abort itor r o'clock, as Mr. Young was in the
farm-yard he heard something fall near the barn, and shortly
after a fire was perceived to be breaking out in some loose
straw and sedge which were lying round the barn. As
s:stance was con on the spot, and the fire fortunately
extinguished without having done the slightest injury
whatever, otherwise the destruction of property must
have been great, as many buildings and cottages are
standing close by. The fire was afterwards proved to
have been caused by a ball of lighted tinder and linen
rags, which, with a stone placed in the middle to
facilitate its motion, was thrown out of the street
over the buildings, a distance of about thirty yards, into the
farmyard. A lad named James Cos was seen opposite the
premises about Ike same time, and suspicion having fallen
on him, he was immediately taken into custody, and the
next day brought before the magistrates at Newmarket,
when he was remanded till Tuesday.—Bury Herald.—
The same journal also states: Just as we were going to
press, inteUisenee reached us of an extensive fire, the
work of an incendiary, at Dutton, upon a farm occu-
pied by Mr. John Westrup. The fire broke out about
half-past nine o'clock on Monday night; up to the present
time a barley stack, large straw stack, bean stack some out-
buildings, and two colts have been destroyed. The barns,
stables, and new buildings were saved. Lord Thurlow's en-
gine, and that belonging to the parish of Stradishall, were on
the spot—the former engine having been wt at fires for three
consecutive nights, via., at Hendon, Wickhsmbrook, and at
this place. The tenant is insured in the Norwich Union of-
fice. The fire at this time (1 o'clock, Tuesday), is still burning.
We hear that another fire was seen raging in the direction
of Nam during the progress of this conflagration.—
Amerime outbreak happened shortly after 10 o'clock, at
Liellelllllll, on some property belonging to Mr. Sturgeon.
loads 100 combs of barley, two stacks, and a barn were
diellteyed.—On the night previous (Sunday) the village of
sear Clare, was the scene of a calamitous fire.
Beeson 15 mad 9 the rear of the premises of Mr. 0. &asp
WIN diserweeed to be in flames, and ere they could in any
way be subdued a menus sacrifice of property had takes
place. The dwelling-house, tea barns, cow-house, and
some outbuildings, with a portion of the stacks, were burnt.
—Oa Saturday evening some farm property at Wickham
Brook, belonging to Mr. T. Webb, was ant on fire. The
flames were discovered raging in an oat-stark, but fortu-
nately, by the early arrival of the neighbouring labourers,
two barns filled wkh_grala whisk were nigh were saved.—
On the Uteruses of Wodnesiay great damage was date on
the farming premises of Mr. R. llamford. at Cowes; and
.boat the same time a similar disaster betel the property of
Mr. T. Tilbrook, at Cowlings. Most of the sufferers were
insured. The constables are instituting searching inquiries
into the circumstances connected with these outbreaks.
THE MURDER or Mn. ClEldriES.—On Monday
afternoon a man named Banks underwent • private arum-
Ratios before oar local magistrates relative to a suspicion
entertained against him of having been concerned ut the
murder of the late Mr. George Stenhetuie Griffith. The
ef that examination have not transpired; but the
owing facts are current. Beaks is a notorious diameter,
a native of Freasfield, who has been loitering about in
