Tavern, Cromer-street, Gray's-inn-read, respecting the
suicide of Captain Frederick Lloyd, aged 33 years, late of
the Bengal service. Mr. Skinner, 4, Mecklenburg-street,
said that deceased had lived in his house for the last three
months. On Tuesday last witness saw him with a pair of
pistols which he said he was going to Clean. The witness
went out, and on his return found that the deceased was
dead. He had sometimes said that he wished he was dead,
as he had nothing to do. Ho was in very comfortable
circumstances. The witness was not aware that he was
about to be married. He used to go to the Haymarket to
see Miss C. Hill perform, but the witness believed that
he had no correspondence with her, and that he had
never seen her off the stage. Israel Reed, 20 G, said
gentleman Tuesday had shot himself. The

hour. Ho was nearly naked. Mr Skinner said that it was
