LOVE AND SUICIDE.—WORCESTER, MONDAY.—A fine
young woman, named Mary Hall, Niece of Mr. Jeremy, land-
lord of the Angel Inn, in this city, put a period to her exist-
ence at her uncle's house, on Friday evening last, in conse-
quence, it is believed, of a disappointment in her affections;
and an inquest has been held on the body before Mr. Hide,
coroner, and a respectable jury. A number of witnesses were
examined by the coroner, and from their testimony we glean
the following facts :—lt seems that an ardent attachment
had sprung up between the deceased and a printer en-
gaged in the city, named Dennis, but that the attach-
ment was not approved of by the fated girl's relations.
A short time since, a proposal of marriage was made to
the deceased by another suitor, whom she rejected, and at
the same time she expressed her determination never to
marry any other than Dennis. On Friday evening the de-
ceased, having forgotten (in her capacity of barmaid to her
uncle) to give one of the customers frequenting the house his
change out of some money handed to her by him, Mr.
Jeremy's son went up to her room, whither she had retired,
for the keys of the bar-till, for the purpose of giving the
customer his change. Mr. Jeremy, junior, found the de-
ceased standing on a chair, and, having procured the keys,
he retired. Half an hour elapsed, ai.d the deceased not
having come down stairs, young Mr. Jeremy again went up
to her room, and on entering it lie found, to his horror, that
his cousin had hung herself by a scarf or shawl, to a staple in
the wall of the room. He instantly raised an alarm and cut
her down. Surgical assistance was sent for, but it was too
late, the deceased being quite dead. There had been no
quarrel between the deceased and her lover, the parties having
been on the best terms when they last met. The latter,
when examined at the inquest, seemed deeply affected at the
tragical event. The Coroner's jury having duly considered
the evidence of the witnesses brought before them, returned
a verdict of "Temporary insanity.
