DISTRESSING SUICIDE BY A MISER.—An inquest
was held on Wednesday, at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Lloyd-
street, Holme, touching the death of Mary Bailey, aged
63 years, widow of Henry Baileys of Manchester,
confectioner, lying dead at 55, Hargreaves-street, Holme,
before Edward Herford, Esq., coroner for the city of
Manchester, and a respectable jury. William Lund, druggist,
stated that he lodged with the deceased. The previous morn-
ing abont 9 o'clock, he left her in the house alone. Nothing
particular passed between them, but he told her about what
time he should be at home for dinner. He went home about
past one o'clock,when he knocked at the door, but no answer
was returned. After trying to get in without avail, we
borrowed a ladder, and got in at his bedroom window, which
was the only window unfastened. He got in, and found the
deceased with a hankerchief round her neck, and fixed to the
bed •post. On seeing that, he did not cut her down, but went
down stairs and let in a man below. She was taken off the
bed-post and laid on her own bed. .Deceased complained of
her chest being bad on Sunday: • • She seemed -in great trouble
within the last fortnight, as,. (she had told -witness several
times) she could not get in money that was owing to her, and
that it was enough' (she said) to drive any• one crazy. She
took nothing to speak of in the way of drink. She was short
of the necessaries of life, in consequence of not having money.
Her son lives at Ashley, in Cheshire, and wanted her to go
over and live with him. She was short of food in the house
several - times last week, and .was unsettled in her mind.
Walter Bailey, of Ashley, stated that• be was a shoemaker, and
that. lie had not seen the deceased, his mother, for 3 weeks.
She told him-she was in, great distress, owiitg to money due to
her-not coming in, and he wanted her to come and live with
him. She had money, in the bank, but was miserly-minded,
and pinched herself because she could not get her debts in.
That-seemed to prey upon her mind. Sh,e,W;-al.puncl or
two in the house; and'she had' iii Ore thee—hOuse than would
pay her debts. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
