toor a week before her death she had

she would rather kill herself than endure her suf-
ferings longer. On Friday, about the middle of
the day, witness found the bed-room door fastened,
and on bursting it open be found her hanging by
a rope from the tester of the bed. He called assist-
ance, and she was cut down, but was quite dead.
Mr. Gayton, M.R.C.S., said that the deceased
had no doubt been deprived of reason by her suffer-
ings from affections of the nerves.
The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity.
The same coroner held another inquiry at the
White Hart Tavern, Kingsland-road, respecting
the death of Wm. Berry, a youth of 18, who com-
mitted suicide also on Friday last, by hanging him-
self to the balusters of his father's house. id

that, if at all practi able, a metropolitan site should be
