Lancaster, at the King's 'lead, Acre-lane, Clapham, to
inquired
47 into the death of Mr. Samuel BlackallerVenning.
age. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased
was a merchant in the city, and had a residence in
Atkins-road, Clapham New Park. On Saturday morn.
ing, about eight o'clock, the cook, hearing her mistress
scream, went to the deceased's dressing-room, and found
him sitting on the floor, with a loaded pistol in his left
baud, cocked, and one that had been discharged lying
in a pool of blood by his side. He appeared to breathe
but twice, and then expired. There was a large wound
uver the right temple and under the left ear. Dr. Ord,
of Brixton hill, attended, but could render no assistance.
The deceased had of late been in a very desponding
state, owing to the loss of his son, and exhibited signs of
monomania. Mrs. Venning had left him only a few
minutes before. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."

town of Keynaham, but all efforts to arrest the progress
of the fire proved unavailing, which was not extinguished
till the entire building and all the valuable machinery
were reduced to a heap of ruins. There was a large
stock of paper in the store-room, of which a good deal
was got out comparatively uninjured. The premises
and stock were both insured in the Sun and Imperial
