SUICIDE OF THE REV. WHIT-
WORTH RUSSELL.
Yesterday afternoon a highly respectable jury was em-
oannelled in the B iard•room of the Milbank Prison, be-
fore Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, to inquire
into the circumstances attending the death of the Rev.
Whitworth Russell, aged fifty three, one of the inspecters
ef prisons, who committed self-destruction under the
:Arcumstarices detailed in the subjoined evidence.
The jury having been sworn proceed with the co-
roner to view the body of the deceased, which lay in the
same position as it was found. It was lying on the
door of a narrow passage leading out of the board-
room, and c imenunic sting with the armoury. The head
was very much shattered, and the door was deluged with
blood.
Mr. Crosby Dawson, secretary to the prison, stated
that the deceased was one of the visiting inspectors of the
prison. He visited the prison on the previous day about
one o'clock, and on speaking to him on prison matters the
deceased said that he felt very unwell, arid totally unfit
to transact any prison business. Tee do ceased, whist
speaking;, frequently placed his hands to his head, and
complained of great pain. He was looking wretchedly,
slid very depressed inspirits,
CORONER— WAS he more than usually depressed ?
Witness—He was, but very rational in his conversation.
Evidence resumed—l left the deceased alone in the
Seard-room, but visited him several times up to four
o'el,ck. In the interval he was engaged in writing letters
his private affairs.
By the CORONER—Was it anything unusual in the
leceased visiting the prison on that day? Witness—No;
it se ,s his usual visiting . day,- 'and my only reason fin-
i'requently visiting him was on account of his illness.
['he last time I saw the deceased alive was a few minutes
after four o'clock, when he came into my private office,
eear the board-room, unit after drinking some water from
a glass which awed on the table, ho told me he should
not detain me much longer. He shorly afterwards left,
and I heard the door of the board-room shut. In about
halt an hour afterwards I heard the report of fire-arms,
out as there was a regatta on the river, and guns going
off' frequently, I took no notice of the circumstance
rurther than mentioning it to some of the officials, who
said they had also heard the noise, but they attributed
it to the slamming of a door in the building. About
five o'clock I directed the prison orderly to go and in-
quire of the deceased if he had any letters for the post.
t'he messenger returned, saying that the deceased was
not in the board-room. I then went myself, and seeing
deceased's hat lying on the table, 1 called him by name;
but receiving no answer, and smelling powder in the
room, I opened the door of a small passage leading to
he armoury, when I saw the deceased lying extended on
the door, covered with blood, and quite lifeless. I ins-
s.ediately dispatched a me,:seliger tor the resident medical
officer, who promptly attended.
The CORONER —Do you know to whom the letters
were addressed, whicli the deceased was writing? Wit-
ness—One was addressed to Mr. Grey at the Home-
offi a., a second to a guntlernau in the country, and a
(hied to myself.
The CORONER—Was there anything in the letter you
received flow the deceased, aliu•ang in any way to his
cottunii ring self destruction? %Vit.:less—Yes
The CORONER —Have you the letter here? Witness
—No, I left it at the Home-office last nicht, but I can
give you the substance of it. The di ceased, after
alluding to the cata=trophe he contemplated, begged of
me to keep it a secret, if possible, until his relatives
were in possession of the facts, and ended with the
following sentence:—" It is my dying request. W. R."
CORONER—It was quite conclusive to you from the
letter that the deceased contemplated destroying himself?
Witness—Quite so. Of late his spirits had been very
much depressed, which he attributed to being over-
whelmed in business. •
Mr. Davey, the resident surgeon of the prison, stated
that he had known the deceased several years. About
five o'clock on the previous afternoon he was sent for
to attend the deceased, in the board-room. On his
arrival he found the deceased lying extended on
his back on the floor, which was deluged with
blood. On moving the bady he found a pocket.
pistol, which had been recently discharged, lying
under his right arra, and close by a piatol case, with one
pistol in it. -Oa examination he found ay brad been ex-
tinct for some time. 'roe pistol had been discharged in
the mouth, and the ball had passed upw.rds. The head
was extensively shattered, but the ball bad not passed
out. Death must have been instantaneous. From the
Emilio.. of the body he jud ;ed that the deceased must
have been in a sitting posture when he discharged the
pistol.
Mr. James Collins, gun•tnaker, stated that about
twelve o'clock on Monday forenoon, the deceased, whom
he knew by supplying him with goods, came to his
shop and inquired for a case of pistols. After looking
at several, he purchased a pair in a case, and at his re-
vest it was tiited up with a flask of gaup and six
outlets. Tne case was wrapped up in brown paper, and
the deceas .d took it away in a cab. The deceased did
not say wnat ho wanted the pistols for, bat, from con.
versation, I thought he wanted them for a present to a
young gentleman going out to India. Deceased ap-
peared Tate well and collected in his manner.
Joseph Pearce, the deceased's butler, said that for
several days past the deceased had been ailing, and on
Saturday and Sarelay last he kept his bed.
Coaoemt —Was your master attended by any medi-
cal gentleman on the occasion ? Witness—lie as as not,
but on Saturday the psge fetched him some medicine,
which he took. Oa Monday morning the deceased got
up at halF-past eight. He appeared very dull, and, con-
trary to his usual ,custom, he went into his study before
dressing himself; wherii-he stopped writing for more than
three quarters of an hour. He left the house shortly
after Mlle o'clock.

CORONER—Do you know what it was the deceased
complained of on Siturday and Sunday ? Witness—On
Sunday morning the deceased tad the his head was very
bad, and complained of .niViibl.vels. He was no subject
headache. Ou Monday morning ho particularly noticed
the change in his manners.

Henry Knight, page to the deceased, had also noticed
the change in d• cessed's manners for several days
past. Ile appeared excessively depressed in spirits.
On Saturday morning he complained of his head, and
he sent me wiih a note to Mr. Squire, chemist, of
Oxford-street, woo sent him a draught, which he took.
On Sunday he said he felt no better, and he fetched him
,ome pills.
William liradihaw, the principal porter to the prison,
said that he let the deceased into the prison about one
o'clo..k on Monday, and he noticed an unusual, strange
appearance in hi. manners. He asked deceased if he
was net well. The deceased replied he was very ill, and
applied his hands to his head, saying he felt an awful
pain there. Witness asked him if he sh..uld stop long ?
when deceased replied, with a marked emphasis, " Yes,
very long."
Mr•. Molton, the deceased's medical attendant, was ex-
amined, and stated that at certain periods the deceased
suffered greatly from pains in the head, and he had cau-
tioned him riot to labour too much, or it would have an
injurious effect on his brain.
Ti .e CORONER summed up the case, and after a brief'
interval,
The Foreman of the Jury, addressing the Coroner,
said, that the whole of the jury were satisfied that the
deceased hail committed the act himself, hut many of
them were not so satisfied as to the state of his m nd at
the time, and they wished to know whether they could
return a verdict to that effect.
The CORO.IRR said that unless they excused the act by
finding the deceased was insane at the time he com-
mitted the act, it was a felony equally as much as if they
said felt, do se in their verdict. He ha i the highest legal
authority for giving this opinion, and he regretted that
some functionaries did not view it in the same light, as
such inquisitions he was quite sure were illegal.
Eventually the jury returne I a verdict that the de-
c•.ased deAroyed himself, being at the time of unsound
mind.
