THE LATE DEPUTY CLERL OP THE PEACE

FOE MIDDLESEX.

At the meeting of the Middle's: magistrates, on
Thursday, the chairman, Mr. Pownall, said it was with
deep regret and sorrow that he had to inform the court,
that slum their last meeting they bad lost one of their most
efficient. officers, Mr. Arthur (key Maude, the deputy clerk
of the peace, who died, after a short ulcer, in fiwitserland.
Mr. Maude had held his responsible Milos nearly 16 years,
during which time the whole of the loudness appertaining
thereto was conducted with regularity, accuracy, and con-
stant attention. Strictly methodical in his way, the ar-
rainemente of his office proved/I the aptitude with which
those eugaged under him carried into effect his plans far
the transaction of the accumulated business of the county.
His voice was very weak, and could not bo heard
when he was reading reports, at any great distance,
a defect which was often more noticed than qualities of •
really sterling character. Than he, no noel could be
more 60er:eons, kind, considerate, and benevolent, sad the
poor el that parish (Clerksswsll) had often partakes of his
bounty ; he was amiable in temper, forbearing in disposi-
tion, as excellent scholar and lawyer, and the court, peril-
cu/arly the Assistant-Judge and himself, in respect of the
several duties they had to ' had lost • most valu-
able servant. His death was • to the county ; and
those in his office had lost • good, kind, and considerate
employer.
These remarks were listened to with deep attention by
the whole court, and there was but one feeling, that of
sincere regret at the loss of so valuable a public servant
as Mr. Mande.

SUICIDE THROUGH Diesels.—' esterday MOM-
ing Mr. Brent held an ioquest at the Duke of Cornwall,
Sherbourne-place, Blandford-square, on the body of Thomas
Barnes, aged 45, • bricklayer, who committed suicide
through the distressed state of his family. It
that the deceased had resided with his family irCifs.ct
'treat, and on Tuesday morning last he was left by his
daughter about eight o'clock, and on her entering the boa
kitchen about three hours afterwards she eaw her father
hoagies from the neck by a rope attached to an iron pia in
the wall. She immediately gave an a/arni, when a Mrs.
Smith, living is the house, with the posttest promptitude sad
rage, eat down the unfortunate man. The assistance of
Mr. l;errsse, surgeon, of Wyndham place, was then 0,-
1 Lined, but the deceased was beyond human aid. In the
coons of the evidence • letter was produced, evidently
written by the deceased shortly before death. It set forth •
complication of difficulties, with the groat distress of his
'family, sail obviously showed the determined state of his
rabid. It was further shown that on Saturday last be went
to Merylehone workhouse to obtain relief for his family,
which was refused, except on condition that he would go
into the stone-yard. which he could not do, being physically
disqualified. Mr. Tubbs. the relieving officer, showed con-
elusively that lie had advised the man on that morning to
get a medical certificate, stating his inability to work at
breaking stones, but it was said by the members of the de-
ceased's family that he had positively refused either to go
to the doctor's or to the stonevard. The investigation
having resulted in the opinion that no blame was attached
to any particular officer, the jury returned a verdict of
" Suicide while in an unsound state of mind." The extreme
distress of the widow and children excited the sytnpathy of
the jury, aid on a subscription being mitered into among
them for their benefit it was handed over and accepted with
gratitude by the unfortunate mother, who had bees de-
prived of her partner under each melancholy eiretunetasome. '
