THE SUICIDE OP A PRETENDED CLERGYMAN.

An inquest was held on Saturday at Northanap-
=la view of the body of Richard Williams, otherwise
Hayward Grove Williams, the pretended clerp-
roan, who committed suicide, ea reported en our journal of
Friday hut.
Mr. Bedford, of the London and North Western Railway
Compa, attended to watch the proceedings.
Mr. henry Webb, • detective of the City of Loudon, said
he had charge of the deceased under the following circum-
stances :—The Rev. Hewitt Linton. of Newingtca, in this
county, advertised for a curate. The demand answered the
advertisement from Copenhagen-street, Islingtes, at the
seine time giving as referee the Rev. Mr. SoUy, if No. 7,
Catherine-street, Thornhill-square, which wan the hones
where the deceased himself was living. Mr. ,Linton
answered the deceased's letter, believing the reference
to be correct. He was accepted as • curate, and
he went to Newington and remained there, performing
the services at the church as curate. After he had
been at Newington about three weeks he wrote to Mr,
French, • watchmaker in the Strand, and also to another
watchmaker, and obtained three gold watches, stating that
they were to be about 25f., as they were for a testimonial
to • clergyman. One gentleman from whom he had ob-
tained watches had a friend at Newington, and. suspecting
all was not right, wrote to his friend, who snceeeded in get-
tiser two of the watches back. The deceased then left h
similes, absconding with Mr. French's watch, worth 25/.
Mr. Linton then made inquiries, and it was found that the
deceased was never in holy orders, and that he was not a
enisid. er. Having performed the marriage ceremony of Mr.
Llaton's daughter to a gentleman in London, the
was illegal, and the lady ham since been re=
These facts being laid before the Bishop of Peter-
borough, a warrant was Mined for the apprehension

the Rev. Moeda Jones. Deceased obtained that dtuation
by applying to a schobstic array in Tavideek.street.
While at Woburn he was continually in a state of intoxi-
cation. On the 17th of September be had two gallons of
brandy and two osßoas d ram from London, which he
drank in a abort time. He likewise obtained two suits of
clothes and several boxes of cigars from London. He be-
haved in such • diegraceful manner that the police were
called is, and be was turned out of the house on the 21st '
instant, Traced him to London, and learned that
he had been applying to scholastic agents in the names
of John Ferguson and John Morris, giving his address
as Sams Hotel, Strand, which was false. On Wednesday
he was arrested and locked up at the Moorgate-lane police-
station
for the night. Witness brought the deceased away
by the half-put 11 train on the London and North Western
Railway from London on Thursday morning, with the in.
tention of taking him to Oundle, to be examined before the
magistrates. On the journey deceased was very sociable,
laughing and joking, and saying how he had gammoned the
old people at Nassnngton. Amved at Northampton about
1.20, and were told they would have to wait half an hour.
Deceased said he should lice to have some refreshment, and
bad cold bed sad bitter ale. Afterwards went back to the
station, and wen waiting on the platform for the train.
Just before the train came up deceased rid, " What do
you think will be my sentence if I am convicted!"
Told him that he could not inform him. Decesaed said,
"If it is for any long term I am sure I shall not live through
it." Deceased was then standing close to witness on the
right side. The train came in less than a minute afterwards,
when the deceased sp in front of the engine. Witness
caught him by the left but could not hold him fast
enough to stop him. He fell between the rails with his
right foot across the rail nearest the platform, and the
engine went over it. He then deliberately turned himself
over upon the other rail and the wheel of the next
:=e went over his body. On searching the de-
he found a letter on him which he had written,
giving himself a good character. Believed deceased had
before been in custody for horse stealing.
John Genders, a polioeman at the Northampton station,
said he beard • scuffle on the
sfolatform, and the deceased
rittlest him. Tried to him, but could not.
then stepped down into the " four feet " in front
of the engine. The tender was first, and knocked him
down, and the last wheel of the engine took his heel off.
Witness called out to him to lie still, as he lay between the
rails, and nothing could have hurt him if he had kept quiet.
Instead of doing so, however, he, as he was lying on his
face, turned round, and, with a spring from off his hands
and knees, threw his head and shoulders across the rails,
and the carnage wheels went over him.
Mr. Maxon, surgeon, said he examined the body of the
deceased, and found the right heel lacerated, and the train
had apparently passed over his breast, the ribs and chest
bone being both broken.
The comber summed up, and the jnry returned a verdict
that " Deceased committed suicide while labouring under
temporary insanity, and they thought that no blame was
attached either to Mr. Webb or the railway officiate."

SPORTING.

TATTERSALL'S—MoNDAY.

A full attendance but speculation was pursued with much
caution, and was principally guided IT the doings in
the city. Barabbas was made the first favourite, whilst
Starke was driven quite out of the market. The ranee of
the latter'. retrogression was attributed to a rumour of his
having broken down. Comforter was in good demand, and
was supported at 100 to 6, odds which were at one time
taken about Optimist, who, however, declined to 20 to 1 at
the close. A " spurt " was made in favour of Newcastle,
despite the hostility he encountered at Newmarket, where
his owner betted 50 to 1 against him, even giving his
backers • start for their money. After 25 to 1 had
been booked about him those odds were scarcely obtain-
able at the close. Both Conscript and Bevis were
backed at the prices quoted. Golden Pippin was much in-
quired after, and 2.0 to 1 was taken about her to some
money. The following twelve were backed against
the field for 5001.:—Comforter, Cape Flyaway, Stapleton,
The Brewer, Weetherbound, Plumber, Optimist, Conscript,
Ihuslabia, Newcastle, Moorcock, and Golden Pippin; 14 to
1 was taken about Sutton for the Cambridgeshire. Closing
