LATE SUICIDE AT A SHOOTING
GALLERY. —INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
An inquest was held this morning at Green's Shooting
Gallery, Leicester-square, before Mr. Bedford, the
Coroner, on the body of William M'Donough, who shot
himself in the gallery on Tuesday afternoon.
It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. John 11.
Holmes, who bad known the deceased for many years,
that he had been for a long time unfortunate in sporting
transactions, and for twelve months at least was observed
to be in a desponding state of mind.
The person with whom the deceased and his family
lodged said he had exhibited every symptom of despair
for some time back.

John Bell, gymnastic teacher at the gallery, said the
deceased came into the gallery between one attil two
o'clock on Tuesday, asked some questions about the
gymnastic machinery, and then walked out. He re-
turned after three o'clock the same day, and had a
couple of pistols loaded for him, which he discharged;
two others he loaded himself, and fired off at the target;
and then sent a messenger with a note, addressed to E.
G. Clarke, Esq., Clifford street, Bond street. He then
reloaded the pistols. Witness heard a report, and on
looking in the direction of the deceased, saw him stagger
backwards and tall quite dead.

Mr. Lenton, a surgeon, described the nature of the
wound. The ball was still lodged in the brain.
The letter referred to above was as follows:
" Two o'clock.
" Clarke,—Before you read this I shall be a corpse
lying at the Shooting Gallery, Leicester-square. My
last request is, that you will see to my poor wife and
children. Allen will be in town this day.—Yours, &c."
The jury found that the deceased had shot himself,
being at the time of unsound mind.
