pending, and had latterly evinced a lowness of spirits
and eccentricity of manner resulting, as was supposed,
from his too close application to study. On Wednesday
evening last, appearing poorly and desponding, he was
prevailed upon by his sister to retire to bed at the early
hour of six o'clock. About nine his mother went to his
room, when h. e requested her to fetch him a glass of
beer, for which purpose she left him, but on her return
found the door fastened. She knocked, and called to
deceased by name, but, receiving no answer, she raised
an alarm, and on the door being forced open by an as-
sistant in the shop, deceased was found lying on the
Boor in a pool of blood, with a frightful gash in his
throat, nearly severing the head from the body, death
from which must have been instantaneous. Deceased
was considered to be wealthy, and no cause, beyond that-
of great nervous excitement, can be attributed for his
having committed the suicidal act. Verdict—" Tempo-
rary Insanity."
Dr. Phillimore and family have returned to town
from the baths of Wiesbaden.
