SUICIDE.—On Monday an inquest was held be-
fore George Carttar, Esq., and a respectable jury, at the
Hope public-house, Loampit Vale, Lewisham, upon the
body of Georgina Caroline Death, who was found sus-
pended by a ribbon, in a bed-room of the above inn on
Thursday last. The jury were empannelled on Friday
evening last, in order to investigate the case, but stood
adjourned without going into any evidence, in conse-
quence of the person of the deceased being then un-
known. A number of witnesses were examined, among
others the brother of the deceased, an engraver, residing
at 83, Aldgate, and it appeared from their evidence that
the deceased had for some time been i▪ n bad health, and
was liable to great excitement from sli▪
ght causes. Tho-
mas Mee Dalby, surgeon, New Broad-street, City, at-
tended deceased last twelve months for hysteria. She
had taken large doses of laudanum for three years, for
(he considered) the purpose of destroying life. Suffered
frequently from hysteria mania. A. very trifle would
excite her ; was kindly treated at home ; a more united
family he did not know.—" Temporary derangement."
The father of the deceased was for many years a Common
Councilman for the wardof Portsoken.
BODILY STRENGTH.--A friend of ours says,
he is growing weaker and weaker every day. He has
got so weak now that he can't raise five dollars.
