A shocking occurrence took place at Liverpool, on
Friday. The circumstances are as follow :—About
half past ten o'clock, on Friday morning, Mr. Wil-
liam Wilson, of Cord-street, a tallow-chandler,
dropped from the top window of his house, inio his
back yard;, he broke one of his thighs, one, of
arms and his breast. He survived only about an
hour. An Inquest was held the same day on the
body, at the Town-hall, before Dr. Gerrard one.of
the ISoroner3, It appeared in evidence; from the
testimony of Daniel Wilson, the deceased's brother,
that the deceased was very much given to liquor,
and when he left off drinking for any length 'of time,
he became melancholy; and they were obliged to
• have a person to take care of him, to prevent his
doing mischief to himself, which he frequently at-
tempted; and having lately left off drinking again,
on Friday ‘norning, he was observed to be more
dull than usual, and be went frequently up stairs.
The shopman and servant girl of the deceas,2d con-
firmed the above statement. A journeyman baker
proved the manner in which the defendant dropped
/tom rite window. The Jury roamed a verdict of
