SUSPICIOUS DE.4TII.

An inquest ras held on Saturday evening, at the Black Horse,
Vine-street, Chandos-street, Covent-garden, on the body of Wil-
liam liable, aged 32 years, who was found suspended in a common
brothel, No. 4, Vine-street. Pram the evidence, which was of
very great length, it appeared that the deceased was a watch-
finwLer, residing in Old-street-road ; latterly his conduct was ob-
served to be much changed, and his spirits had been much de-
pressed, in consequence it was supposed, of his ill success in busi-
ness, and which rendered him incapable of supporting his family in
the manner he intended ; he, therefore, resolved to leave his home
and family of eight children ; and on Wednesday night last sent
his a its_ on an errand, when he dressed himself in a somewhat re-
; speciable manner, and taking a watch, which beionged to one of
his customers, went away. Ilia first step, it appeared, was to
pledge the watch in the neighbourhood of Smithfield for 21; he
then went through the neighbourhood of Chandos-atrect, where he
was accosted by one of the fair Cyprians who frequent that part of
the town. Scarce had they begged the favour of a treat, when his
purse was ready, and consequently a host of the ladies flocked
around him ; he, however, singled out the first, and accompanied
het home, yin. to the house No. 1, he:Ore mentioned; there he de-
posited a sovereign as a surety for his appearance, and changed the
other to treat the fair nymphs; gin and beer were supplied to them
in great plenty from AVednesday to Saturday, and according to the
statement of his fair lady, they retired to rest each night halanzes
Friday morning at length came—his finances were exhaust

also sent, by his desire, and it is supposed one of his costs, which is
at present missing. Vet, this soukd not pay all the expcuses at

less. He then concerted a plan, either to endeavour to ob-
tain some money, of get his lady out of the way, while
he committed the act of self-eestruction. Calling for pen,
ink, and paper, he wrote the following:—" Dear loving
wires" after that was some attempt at writing, but nothing could
be understood until we came to the postscript, when there were
these words, "send me some money immediately by the bearer, as
I intend to give something." Nothing more could he Lnderstsod;
the ignorant girls, who could not read writing in its purest form,
took the letter as directed, upon the assurance that it was to his sin-
ter, who owed him 3L ; judge, however, of their surprise, when, on
arriving at the house, they found it to be his wife ; the poor woman
painted to these callous mortals the distress she laboured under for
NCI husband, and then besought him to return, as her doors were
again open to receive him. They therefore returned, intending,
there is not the least doubt, to eject the unfortunate man, sans cert.
monk., from their misembledwellit g. Their plans were, however,
frustrated t on entering the room they found him suspended by a
beck handkerchief limn the bed-post.
The Jury were at a loss to agree upon their verdict ; they con-
sidered that if they returned a verdict that the man hanged himself,
it would put an end to all further inquiry, should anything trar.:7

strung as they intended at length they agreed upon the follow-

means be became ro suspended, or in what state ut mind be pre.

FATAL Acct NT.—Leeds, Feb. 7.—A fatal and most
melancholy accident took place in our river on Moi:day evening.
As the Sarah and Mary. Captain Liveaey. a Leetla su! Liverpool
trader, was passing through the second lock opposite the Nether
Mills, the Captain inattrerrendy opened the sioice too soon. in
consequence of which the water rushed with such impetuosity into
the vessel as to cause her instantly to sink. The wife of the Cap-
tain and hia two buys, one tour and the other two years of age,
were in bed. Tne mother I: as with greet difficulty saved I but
' the eiiildrcn, we regret to state, were both. drowned. (►n the
following day an inqik-st was held to investigate the circum-
stances of this most distressing occurrence. ‘'erdict—"Aecidental
