ROMANTIC SUICIDE OF TWO
LOVERS AT LEEDS.
(Abridged from the Leeds Mercury.)
A case of double :suicide, which has excited great
though melancholy interest, has occurred in thle town
during the past week. The affair is singulatty ro-
mantic. The two suicides were named Joseph Bolland
and Maria Wilson, the former 19 and the latter 17
years of age, both residing in Lincoln-field-place, New-
town, and standing in the relation of lovers. On Wed-
nesday morning, it seems, they left their home, and made
a round of visits to their friends. They breakfasted
with one relative of the deceased female, took tea with
another, and spent a cheerful evening with a party of
young companions. These they represented as farewell
visits to each, alleging to their r• litions that they were
going on tramp to Harrogate, and to their companions
that they were going to France, where employment
had been offered them. With the latter they seem
to have had an evening of unbroken enjoyment—eat-
ing, drinking, and sinAing, with all the indications of a
merry -reaklng. In the morning they intimated to their
relatives a probable farewell for ever; in the evening
they leave their companions with embraces of affection
and pledges of friendship, and within half an hour rush
together to a watery grave, and are tound on the mor
row clasped in each other's arms, and bound together
by handkerchiefs that had previously been the recipro-
cal tokens of affection. There was nothing in their cir-
cumstances reconcileable with so painful an event, ex-
cept the want of employment for a short period; but
even this did not seem to have either exposed them
to the apprehension of want, or to the pangs of dis-
, pleasure.
On Thursday morning the two bodies were taken from
the river Aire, near Knostrop, and in the afternoon J.
Blackburn, Esq., held an inquest upon them at the Court
P House, when the following evidence was given:—
, Martha Wilson, sister of deceased young woman.—
I reside at Mabgate-green. My sister lived at Joseph
Rolland's, father of the young man who is drowned. She
was 17 years old. She had lodged with them five
months. She worked at Messrs. Hive and Atkinson's,
but has been out of work three weeks. My sister would not
come to live with us ; she would rather live with Josepa
Bolland. Joseph Bolland had not worked for many
months. He was 18 years of age. They had sweat-
hearted for about three years. It was know to all of us.
I saw my sister alive yesterday morning. She asked
me to make her a cup of coffee. I could net make her
one, as I had not time. Joseph Bolland was with her.
They both washed themselves. They had gone out
unknown to the father early in the morning. She
had bought some print to make herself an apron
of. She said she would give it me to make my
baby a " slip." She afterwards kissed the baby, and
bid it rood bye, saying that it would never see
her again alive. In answer to a question I put to
her she said they were going on tramp, I understood to
Harrogate. She was not in the family way that I am
aware of. They seemed both low spirited. She said
nothing except that they were going to Harrogate. On
Tuesday morning I saw her, and she seemed low spirited
then, and told me she would do away with herself if she
did not get work. Told her to get away and hold her
foolish talk. This conversation took place in our house
at about ten o'clock. She had plenty to eat and drink,
notwithstanding that she was out of work. She was
always in good spirits. They both cried on Wednesday
morning, especially my sister. I was not surprised to
see her cry, as I have often seen her do so before when
she has seen my baby.
Mrs. Bolland, mother of the deceased young man, gave
similar evidence.
Harriet Hellowell, aunt to Maria Wilson—They were
both at my house yesterday, at three o'clock, and they
remained until five o'clock. She asked me to make her
a cup of coffee. He had been getting a pint of beer
and some bread before I came in. He also got a pint of
beer while we were getting our coffee, and they joked
together. At five o'clock they went away, both as
cheerful and kind as could be, and she promised to
call again, but did not. Neither of them were low
spirited. There was nothing said about being out of
work, except that Maria said she would be in again
next week. I live in Brussels-street. They left at
five o'clock, and went down Bridge-street. She had no
bonnet on, but had a handkerchief on her head—the
same that is now round their bodies. She told me she
was going to b married on Whit Monday, and he re-
plied, " Yes, we think of being married then." I said,
there will be time enough in two years, and he answered,
.• Sooner we get married the better."

respectable house. There were five of us in the house.
Another pint was sent for afterwards. We all drank
of it. She talked about their buth going to France
together, and said we should never see her again. She
gave me a pocket and velvet purse to take care of for
her. She never at any time told me she would drown
herself.

John Imison, of Upper Somerset-street—l walked
with the deceased down to the water-side at about
half-past five. The principal talk was about their
going to France. They said they were going on
the water at about three o'clock in the morning by a
fly-boat, and would leave Leeds at half-past ten o'clock
that night. They were both cheerful. He said he
had pledged his trousers and waistcoat for 3s. 6d., and
had then 6d. left. He did not say where he had pledged
them. He said he had bought something to eat and
drink with the other money. He said he did not want
any money to go to France. He said he should get a
pass-note to go with. I left them at Wilson's at about
nine o'clock. Maria was then asleep. They at no time
seemed low spirited whea I was with them. When I
left he asked me to shake hands, and said he would not
see me any more.
Policeman Marsden—l commenced searching for the
bodies this morning at seven o'clock. I found the bodies
in the river, near Mr. Howard's carpet manufactory, at
the bank. They were fastened together by two hand
kerchiefs. Both of them were tied at his back, and they
were in each others' arms. I found them at a quarter
past eight. This jacket was found about twenty yards
off, on a stoop, and this csp and her slip were also found
there, at eleven o'clock last ❑ight. The bodies were
found about a yard and a half from the side. It is pro-
bable they dropped themselves off the old foundation of
a house at the river side. The foundation is a yard or
more higher than the water.
At the conclusion of the evidence,
The CORONER made some remarks upon the case,
which, he observed, was the most remarkable he had ever
investigated. Though the circumstances could not be
reconciled with their going into the river and drowning
themselves, yet the position in which they were found,
being tied together by handkerchiefs, and their clothes
being near the water, negatived any presumption that
anybody else had been accessory. It was clear they
destroyed themselves, and the only question for the jury
to determine was, whether at the time they committed
self-destruction they were insane or not. Their whole
conduct, from the first thing in the morning to the last
thing at night, seemed to be inconsistent with any inten-
tion to destroy themselves ; and that, to his mind, nega-
tived any notion of their being insane.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect—" That the
two deceased persons destroyed themselves, and here at
the time in a sane state of mind."
