.SUICIDE AT TIIE BANK OF ENGLAND.--INQUEST.
—Yesterday, Mr. Sergeant Payne held an inqtbost at the
Ward School-room, London Wall, on the body of John
Bancott, aged 59 years, 23 years porter at the Ban2c of Eng-
land, who committed self-destruction by cutting his throat.
It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that the
previous morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the. water-
closet door was fastened, and on breaking it open -the
de-
ceased was found on his knees, with his throat cut„ and a
razor lying by his side. He had lately been in alo w state
of mind, in conseeuence of a desk belonging to the sc cretary
of the Bank of England having been broken open.. The
deceased hid the key of the office on the night of the rob-
bery/ but no suspicion rested on him. The incident I .ressed
on his mind, and no doubt led him to destroy himself:. The
jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed..hira-
vif while in a state of temporary insanity."
