UNREQUITED LOVE.—On Thursday evening
an inquest, adjourned from Wednesday for the purpose of ob-
taining complete evidence, was terminated at the crown,
St. Dunstan's-hill, Lower Thames-street, before Mr. Payne'
on the body of W. H. Sweet, aged 23, lately an occasional
porter at the Custom-house. It appeared from the aie,vnec:
of several witnesses that about two years ago decease"
with Mr. Owen, of 53, Lower Thames-street, and that he was
I
t
at first a steady, sober young man, but that in course
time he unfortunately became enamoured of his master s
sister, who encouraged not his passion. He subsequently
abandoned himself to drink. In his moments of intoxication
his whole discourse was of Miss Owen, and some person,
whilst the infatuated man was under the influence of lige°,
persuaded him to write a foolish letter to her. The conscious:'
ness of having written this letter, which he dreaded would
be offensive to Miss Owen and her brother, drove him,
he said in a letter addressed to his brother, mad. He "'-
last seen alive on Monday night, about twelve o'clock, sitting
alone on the waterman's seat, near the Custom-house stairs.
Next morning, at half-past eight, his lifele:s body was found
lying in the mud off the Custom-house. In the letter to his
t
brother he said he should drown himself there at the time °l.
high tide on Tuesday morning. On the re-
assembling 0,0
the jury several witnesses spoke to the unsound sell
of mind of diseased, and one of them who knew him vr,c.'o
attributed his insanity chiefly to Miss Owen having refuse,' '
marry him. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.
