state that he did not know the offensive matter in question

An inquiry was held by Mr. W. J. Payne, the
coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, last night, at
the Bowyer Hotel, Manor-street, Clapham, touch-
ing the death of Mr. James Christie, aged 66 years,
a gentleman who was alleged to have committed
suicide in consequence of losses incurred through
the city panic.

had any reference to the defendant.

Mr. Hawkins then made an ample apology, and the jury,
under his lordship's directions, found a verdict for the

plaintiff of .£5 ss.

Mr. Thomas Christie said that the deceased
was his father. He resided at No. 141,
Manor-street, Clapham. Up to within the last
three weeks he was in good health and spirits.
Since that time he became very depressed in conse-
quence of having lost a great deal of money through
the panic in the City. He was a shareholder in the
Bank of London, and he held a number of shares
in it. He was always talking about his loss, and as
he was a shareholder in the bank he did not know
the full extent of his loss, and that preyed upon
his mind. He used to go daily to the bank for the
purpose of seeing whether the doors of it were going
to be closed. He did that in consequence of find-
ing the shares depreciating. He had a great many
shares in the bank, and he was afraid of a further
eall, and he did not know how to meet it.
Wm. Oakerp, 2, Chip-street, said that on last
Wednesday morning, about 10 o'clock, he was pass-
ing No. 141, Manor-street, when a servant ran out
of the house and called him in. Upon proceeding
upstairs he found the deceased lying on his back on
the floor of his bed-room. He was dressed in his
drawers and night-dress, and he was quite dead.
A piece of broken bell-rope was hanging from the
pole. of a French bedstead. Witness saw a lady
standing near the deceased.
After some further evidence, the jury returned a
verdict of " Suicide whilst in a state of temporary
insanity."
