Yesterday. a Coronet's Inquest WAS held at the
House of Correttme, Clerker well. before Joust
Wei OAT (lawaM. Esq. Coroner tor the County of
Mid 'lee% upon the body of ~/s4r. Mi4B, who was
found dead in his cell, in the said prison, on Sunday
evenii.g last •_

The deceased was the near relatlve of a respect-
able person of the same name, it siding in the
rvighbourtto.td i f Fieet Market, and had b'en ap-
prehended on 'Thursday last, and carried before Sir
NI *Tatum &ea:Hass. Kuight, the then Presiding
Magitittate at Guildhall Justice Hoorn, charged
with having committed an unnatural crime ; but
the fat alleged having been committed in the
county. the deceased was remanded foe further ex-
amination, on Mond:iy, t. this Ist Won.
It appeared, upon the evidence of roger Bridg.
man. and an. flier of the Turnkey,. that the de-
ce used. frrm the time of his arising inc the prison,
up to Cie time of his decra.e, had conJudted hizat
self and need in every manner like a national
reasonable person. Biidgman brougi.t him scene.,
porter about noon on Suntily, but on his return to
&bat r • litter from one of his relations, about six
o'clock in t-.e eve,iing, he found him lifeless. sus.
petaled by bin pocket handkerchief, a hich he bad
fastened rourot h s mfc k, and dicta to a beam which.
crossed the ca'.l; lee immediately cut hint dowel. 1
wail the assistance of another person, and found
his body warm ; but all appearance of anima-
tion was gone.
Thomas .Iditll. Esq. surgeon to the prison, de-,
posed, that to had visited the deceased on Saturday
last, when he appeared to him in a perfell state of
health in !witty and mind. Immediately aftr the
body was discovered in the manner betorwatten-
tiny ed. be examined it, and found all hopes of• re-
cutter y vain. Ile bad no doubt that he came by his
death by banging.
Janie: Poojay, a City Constable, had known the
deceased upwards of sixteen years, he lied lived in
his neighbourhood the whole of that time, and SAM
him almost every day; he cor.,idtreil him at all
times a decided lunatic ; he had always been foolish.
and his constant aniusentent was playing about the
id-mites Kith little boys; the Witness u,ed frequently
to give him pence and halfpence to buy rice pud-
ding or cokes—so tar did he consider him an idiot
or lunatic.
Sonic other Witnesses, who bad known the de-
ceased for upwards of 30 years, deposed to the same

After hearing this evidence, the Corona summed
up briefly. and observed to the Jury, that there
could he ni doubt of the inane sta." •d mmd of the
deceased when hr c mmitted this melancholy aft.
The Jury immediately broa‘lit in their verdt

Th. deceased was abont 50 years of are, and bad
lived many years as a messenger or servant to h.
brother.
