MELANCHOLY SUICIDE BY A YOUNG GlRL.—Yester-
day, Mr. Langbam, deputy coroner for Westminster,
held an inquest at the Rising Sun, Charles-street, Gros-
venor-square, on Caroline Jane Redman, 17, who com-
mitted suicide under very distressing and determined cir-
cumstances. The deceased resided with her godmother
at 23, Chepstow-place, Westbourne-grove, and for some
time past she had been in a melancholy state of mind,
as she feared that her godmother, a very aged person,
would die and leave her, without any means of subsis-
tence, to the world. This so preyed on her spirits that
she was heard to say that she would commit suicide if
her godmother should die, as she herself had no means
of obtaining her livelihood ; but these and other such
observances were treated as idle threats. At length, on
the morning of the melancholy occurrence, she left 23,
Chepstow•place, at an early hour, but there appeared at
that time nothing particularly disturbed in her manner.
She must have at once proceeded to Hyde-park, and
wandered about sone time ; for it was net until about
half-past 11 o'clock she was found lying on the grass in
the park in an insensible condition. Medical aid was
immediately procured, but she died shortly afterwards.
The medical evidence distinctly proved that the poor
creature died from the effects of prussic acid, and a phial
which had contained that poison was found by her side
in the park, but it did not transpire where or when she
procured the deadly poison. The coroner having briefly
summed up, commenting upon the exceedingly distress-
ing nature of the case, the jury returned a verdict of
"Suicide while in n unsound state of mind.".
