A STARTLING SIGHT. ,
This day week (Friday), as a man named Lambley 1.11",
returning from Foxhall, to which place he had been to getu:
watercresses, he saw a man's hat lying upon the pathway'
near a place called Brook-hill, in the parish of Rushe3e.hre't
about two and half miles from Ipswich; he looked over ,
hedge, and was much frightened at seeing the body of a T.--
suspended by the neck from a cord, which was attached t°t
the bough of a tree; he stood gazing at the body for a she
time, and then ran down the road for about a hundred yfil
and seeing a shepherd in a field, he told him of what be bi.
seen. The shepherd accompaiiied him to the spat, and War
as much frightened as himself, neither of them being eb,',,,e;
through fright, to cut the body down. After gazing `"
•ome time at the body at a respectful distance (for they e',7 4,
afraid to approach too near), the shepherd suggested, e"'
saying, Poor fellow, we can't do him any good, let WTI
hang where he is," that Lambley should run to the Ips,wicA
station-house and tell the police of what he had seen. im?,,
singular to relate, Lambley followed the advice givens
stead of going to a house close by to obtain assistance.
shepherd, too, returned to his work, as if nothing had her;
petted. It is hard judging, but from the facts stated a,
the inquest we think it not improbable, as was express;
by the jury, that if the deceased had been cut down Whoa
first seen by Lambley his lite might haVe been spared.
bhe
the day following an inquest was held upon the body at .
Ship Inn, St. Clement's, Ipswich, before Mr. S. B. Jackaa'-'
coroner for the borough. It appeared from the evidence at
duced that the deceased's name was John Lawrence, sn_,,
that he had left a widow, residing in St. Clement's
greet, in this town, but no children. Deceased was an .
gine fitter, and had been in the employ for the last
months, with the exception of the last six weeks, of Thuin.
wood and Co., steam-engine manufacturers and iron f
eu
ders, of Ipswich. He had at times been in a desPae
state of mind, but had not until Sunday week been
peered of having contemplated such a dreadful act ;'
„".7
which day a fellow workman, named Brazier, who lodges 110-f
the house of the deceased, on his return home from a place,
worship, discovered the deceased standing upon ellased
the passage with a piece of cord in his hand. The dec ,
was accused of having made a hole in the wall, but
denied having done so. Other circumstances also gave r2,';
to a suspicion that he intended self-destruction. On
following day (Monday) deceased left his home, telling
wife he should return in half an hour; he did not re"
turn, and although sought after he could not be f°"`L
It was proved, that on the night previous to his committing
the rash act, he slept at the house where the inquest Was
held, leaving on the following morning shortly after twelve
' o'clock, and about one o'clock his body was seen hangw,
upon the branch of a tree by Lambley. Evidence was also
given corroborative of the facts we have previously stat°Al
and the policeman said, that when he saw the body, 14.'
between three and four o'clock, a short time after it had bee:
cat down, it was quite warm. The Coroner, addressing the
witness Lambley, said, he hoped that if he should everaga!
have the misfortune to find anybody hanging, as he bad see
the deceased, he would pluck up resolution enough to do
was proper in such a case, by cutting the body down. 11};
jury expressed their astonishment that the shepherd and''ut
witness Lambley had acted as they had done, and, witu.e..o
hesitation returned the following verdict:--"That
deceased had destroyed himself when in a temporary sta;
of derangement." One of the witnesses stated, that had pg
a young lady, named Neall, of Newbourne, who was Ptht,
the spot, been very much frightened at the ghastlY agbe
the body would not have been taken from the tree uetiedicel
arrival of the police. The deceased had been under Ing,sex
treatment for some months previous to his death."'''
