CORONERS' INQUESTS.

AFFLICTING SUICIDE OF A MARRIED FEMALE AT LADY"
ANSON'S HOUSE IN CURZON-STREET, MAY FAlR.—Yes-
terday afternoon an inquest was held at the Pitt's Head,
Little Stanhope-street, May Fair, before Mr. Gell and a
most respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Char-
lotte Tooth, aged 48. Thomas Fellows, under-coachman
to Col. Anson, of No. 32, Curzon-street, May Fair, knew
the deceased, who was the wife of the coachman to Lady
Anson, mother of the Colonel. The deceased resided with
her husband at her Ladyship's. On Sunday night last wit-
ness was out with the carriage, which was driven by .the de-
ceased's husband ; they returned home with her Ladyship
and the Colonel. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the
same night, witness was engaged in pulling up the carriage,
when he heard the deceased's husband call out, " Oh, my
God, my wife has hanged herself." Witness immediately
ran up stairs and discovered the deceased suspended by the
neck to one of the posts of the bedstead by her handker-
chief. By the assistance of her husband, who held her in
his arms, witness severed the handkerchief; but life ap-
peared to be quite extinct. Several domestics in the ser-
vice of Lady Anson spoke.to the deceased having been in
a low dejected state for some months before her committing
the rash act, but they were unable to assign any cause for
such. The deceased lived on the most happy terms with
her husband. The Jury returned a verdict —" That the
deceased destroyed herself in a state of temporary mental
derangement."

The inquest again sat on Tuesday upon the body of W.
Saundrey, at Woolwich, who it was reported had come to
his death by flogging. A post mortem examination had
taken place, attended by ten medical gentlemen, who stated
that they believed the deceased had died from the effects
of fever, and certainly not from flogging. Four of the
Jury came to the conclusion that the deceased would not
have died but for the flogging he received ; but the re-
mainder expressed themselves of the same opinion as the
medical witnesses. The following verdiCt was then delivered
to the Coroner by the Foreman :—" That the deceased
died by the visitation of God, and not by the bands of any
person or persons whatever."
_ _

On Mon-day evening the inquiry touching the death of Wil-
liam Adolf Ries, a Polish refugee, was resumed in the Vestry-
hall of Christchurch, Newgate-street, before Mr. PAYNE,
when the further evidence of the surgeon (for which the in-
quest was adjourned) was taken as to the cause of the death
of the unfortunate gentleman.
Mr. Hay, Surgeon, of Newgate-street, stated that since
the Jury had last met he had opened the body or the deceased,
and, after a minute examination, was fully prepared to state
that death was not occasioned by poison, but by water on the
chest, arising from natural disease. •

The Coroner observed that after such a communication lie
imagined the Jury would feel satisfied. From the habitual
melancholy of the deceased, as well as from the documents
found in his possession, there certainly was sufficient ground
to suspect that he had destroyed himself by poison ; it was,
however, gratifying to think that the unfortunate gentleman,
although weighed down by such a series of misfortunes, had
not had recourse to so dreadful an alternative to rid himself
of them.

A verdict was then returned of " Died by the visitation of
God." •

WIFE WANTED.—An advertisement lately ap-
peared in one of our county Journals for a wife, which tempted
the mischievous propensity of a Lincoln she and her accom-
plices to reply to it, inviting the advertiser to meet her in the
Minster-yard—when lo ! a lanky animal, in rusty black habili-
ments, having a most rueful cadaverous countenance, appeared
at the time appointed, and amused a number of spectators by
stalking backwards and forwards for about an hour before he
detected the grinning hoaxers. Another malicious hoax was
attempted by the mischief-makers, which, however, did not
succeed; they having separately informed two other persons
that an appointment was fixed at the same place, with the in-
tent of making each believe that the other was the advertiser.
