EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A FORBIO!! GENTLE-
max.—Yesterday a thole inquiry was gone into before Mr.
Caster, at the Whits Hon lon, Oodatone, as to the shavolar
death of a foreigner under the following circustatthoss :—On
Saturday evening a gentleman meet fashionably dragged went
to the boy of the White Hart lon, and asked if he could
have a bed for the night, as he was going by the train in the
morning to Brighton. The landlord told him he could be
accommodated, and the servant lighted him to his bedroom.
As he did not get up by nine o'clock the next morning. the
landlord went to his room to tell him the train would soon
start, but he obtained no answer. Tit,: door was broken
open, and an appalling sight there presented itself. Every part
of the room we. spotted wi'h blood, and he was lying cm
the floor with his carpet beg under his head as a pillow. A
pool of blood surrounded him, and by his sine an open
razor covered with blood. On the ezeinination of the body
by a burgeon who was called in, it was found that with the
left hand he bad cut through 'Wiry artery and muscle in the
right arm, the mark of the mew being evident on the bone.
Ile had then attempted to Inflict a similar wound an his left,
but it was not so effectual as the other, wet probably from
the want of physical power. In hie peke! was found a letter
from en eminent firm is Feat kforr, in which he was stand
to be John Pall, and there wee also • certificate of his haying
biseome • eitisth of America by neturalisation. He had but
four farthings of English money in hie pothrodos, but a
number of French and Garman silver toine.—The Coroner
maid it was a most extraordinary case, and nose but an open
verdict amid be returaed. He undmtood that the rtetor of
the parish would write to the firm at Frankfort, mad the
body would not b• buried uatll an answer wee received. The
jury returned a verdict, "That the &erased deetroyed
but they had no evidesee as to the state of hie mind."
