SCANDALOUS INSINUATION. —Oll Saturday
night Mr. Baker, the Coroner, and a jury assembled at the
vestry-room of Whitechapel church, to inquire into the
circumstances attendant on the death of Mr. Richard
Nelme, a merchant of considerable eminetce, who has re-
sided for many years in that parish, and whose body had
been deposited in the vaults of that church on Christmas
eve. On the day of the funeral of the deceased. Mr.
Baker, the Coroner, received a letter, signed J. M. Mit-
chell, Great Prescot-street, in which an improper intimacy
was imputed to exist between Airs. Nelme (the widow of
the decersed) and a Mr. Daniel Mathias, one of the sons
of the Rector of the parish, and urging the necessity of an
inquiry into the death of Mr. Nelme, from the fact of his
being a corpse in less than two hours after he had been in
the company of his wife and Mr. Mathias, jun. When the
jurors were sworn, Mr. J. Nelme, a gentleman of fortune,
residing in Hackney-grove, and brother to the deceased,
addressing the Coroner, said he had taken the utmost, pains
to discover the writer of the letter, but without success.
He felt bound to tell the Coroner and Jury, that his brother,
in his lifetime, had received several anonymous letters, im-
puting impropriety of conduct to Mrs. Nelme with Mr. D.
Mathias, and other young men who were in the habit of
visiting at his house, but so satisfied was he of their
gross calumny, that he treated them with indifference.
Mr. Andrew Gibbs, of Devonshire-street, E'lgeware-road,
bad been on terms of intimacy with the deceased and his
family for some years. On the evening of that day fort-
night he called on the deceased between five and six o clock,
and remained there until o quarter or half-past ten o'clock.
The deceased, who had recently been complaining of ill-
ness, appeared in better health and spirits on that night
than usual. He was perfectly sober, and all he saw him
drink was one glass of wine. Miss Balsh resided opposite
to the house of the deceased, and had been on the most
friendly terms with him, and had frequently visited him
and his family ; Mr. Mathias was in the habit of frequently
visiting at the house of the deceased, but she never ob-
served the slightest impropriety in his conduct towards Mrs.
Nelme, nor did he pay her more attention than ordinary
courtesy required ; the deceased and Mrs. Nelme had re-
ceived several letters of a similar tendency to that pro-
duced and read by the Coroner, which at first gave both
much pain and annoyance ; but afterwards, knowing
the imputations to be unjust, they treated them with in-
difference. Elizabeth Melling, a servant to the deceased, was
in the bed-chamber when her master entered it, and made
a remark upon the dimness of the" night-lamp which was
placed there ; she did not observe anything particular in
his manner then ; on going to her bed-room, and before she
had time to undress, she heard something heavy fall on
the floor, and instantly her mistress called out for assistance ;
witness in consequence went down stairs, and saw her mas-
ter lying on the bed-room floor, with his eyes closed, and
his face deadly pale. Messrs. Graves and Merrett, two
surgeons who had attended the deceased at the time of
his death, and who had subsequently seen his body, gave it
as their joint opinion that dissolution had been caused by
apoplexy. The Jury, to most of whom the deceased h;.d
been long known, after expressing their reprobation and
abhorrence of the baseness of the individual by whom the
letter to the Coroner was written, returned a verdict that
the deceased died by the visitation of God.
