purchased half an ounce of prosaic acid, at Hoopes's, Pail-
m•ll Bast, where he was known through his mammon with
Dr. Bainbridge, the greater pert of which he took to put an
end to his existence. A number of letters, books, and other
articles, were found upon hint when he was removed to the
dead house ; among them • letter addramad to the jury bed
should sit upon him, explaining why he committed ths act
of self destruction, and accurAng kW father of negligence.
ThM latter wee read by the Jury in private, and they de-
cided that It was desirable that its contents should not be
made public, as it involved matters wholly extraneous to the
Inquiry, end did not bear upon the question of the sanity of
the deceased.
