SUICIDE OF A JOCKEY.—Yesterday morning, at an
earlyMolyneux, aged 21, a jockey and
groom,
of Mr. Chandler, the well-known
extensive ale brewer, at
Epsom, committed suicide b
cutting his throat in one y
was
of the wards of Guy's Hospital.
The deceased
admitted into the above hospital on
4th September inst., having sustained a compound
hour,in the servicehn
fractureti of the knee, resulting from injuries he had re-
ceived on being thrown from a spirited horse belonging
to Mr. Chandler, which he was galloping on Epsom
Downs. Although immediate assistance was obtained,
and every attention paid to the sufferer, from the nature
of the injuries it was deemed advisable to send the do-
era-ed by the next train to Guy's Hospital, where he
received immediate and constrait attendance from the
house surgeon and medical officers. The fracture being
greatly reduced, the deceased for some .time went on
favourably, but from the fact that the deceased had been
in the habit of living too freely, it is supposed the in-
juries he had received preyed upon his mind, predis-
posing an attack of delirium tremens. No suspicion was,
however, entertained that the deceased contemplated
suicide, particularly in a crowded room, where nurses
and other officials were constantly passing. The deceased
must have secreted the knife and watched his oppor-
tunity, when all was quiet to commit the fatal act, as on
its discovery by the nurse, and the dresser and the
house surgeon being called in, it was found that the
injuries he had received were of so extensive a character
that Le died almost immediately.
