THE SUICIDE ON EPPING FOREST
On Saturday evening last an inquest was held at the
King's Oak Inn, High Beach, before Mr. C. C. Lewis,
the coroner for South Essex, on view of the body of
Alexander Scott Grove, Esq., aged fift years of age,
who committed suicide at mid-day on 'Wednesday last,
in Epping Forest. The circumstances attendant on the
death of the deceased, seemed, for two or three days, to
be enveloped in considerable mystery, and the report
current in the neighbourhood was, that on Wednesday
morning he arrived from town, at the establishment of
Dr. Allen, at High Beach, on a visit to one of the female
patients there, and shortly afterwards was found hanging
from a tree in the forest.
From the evidence adduced before the coroner and
jury on Saturday evening, it appeared that the deceased
gentleman had been a patient in the asylum of Dr.
Allen for five months, and left in perfect health.
The week before last symptoms of his former disease
having presented themselves, his medical attendant in
town recommended another retirement to the
asylum of Dr. Allen, and on Monday last he was
taken there by his brother. There being no certificate
of his insanity, he was not placed under any particular
restraint. On Tuesday night his malady seemed in-
creasing, and in the presence of Dr. Allen himself let
drop some hints about his intention to commit suicide,
but the Doctor rallied him, and he subsequently joined
in a game of whist, and his mind seemed more at ease.
Dr. Allen, however, felt it necessary, from the symptoms
that presented themselves, to write to the brother of the
deceased, and request his attendance at High Beach
without delay. On Wednesday morning deceased was
allowed to walk about unrestrained, and had been seen
by many persons in the neighbourhood of High Beach.
About one o'clock ho was found by two men, named
Clark and Morgan, suspended by a white silk handker-
chief from the branch of an oak, in a thicket in the
forest. They immediately cut him down, and carried
the body to the King's Oak Inn, where Mr. Scool, a
veterinary surgeon, made several efforts to restore ani-
mation, but without effect. The body was hardly cold
when the brother of the deceased had arrived at Dr.
Allen's establishment, where news of the melancholy
discovery had but a few minutes before reached.
Dr. Darling, a medical gentleman, under whose care
and treatment the deceased had frequently been, deposed
to his being subject to occasional attacks of insanity, and
said that Mr. Grove had latterly expressed his fear of
laying violent hands on himself, and he (Dr. Darling) in
consequence recommended him to go back to Dr. Allen's,
and keeping himself quiet there, and he should soon
recover from such a feeling.
The CORONER expressed his regret, after what fell
from the deceased gentleman himself about his intention
to commit suicide, that he was not put under some re-
straint or surveillance. Had such been done his life
might have been spared, and he considered that the con-
duct of Dr. Allen was not altogether free from blame in
the unfortunate affair.
The jury expressed a similar opinion, and returned a
verdict that the deceased had committed the act of suicide
while labouring under temporary insanity.

FUNERAL or DR. ABERCROMI3Y.—The funeral
of this eminent physician took place at Edinburgh, on
Wednesday, and was attended by the members of the
Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, amounting
to about ono hundred and fifty, and a great
number of other gentlemen, friends of the deceased.
His remains were interred in the West Church-yard,
CHARITABLE FUND AND DISPENSARY' FORE-
STREET, CITY.—On Sunday two sermons, on behalf of
this Institution, were preached at the church of St. Law •
rence and Mary Magdalene, morning and evening
respectively ; that in the morning, by the Rev. Charles
Marshall, M.A. ; and that in the evening, by the Rev.
A. M'Caull, D.D. In the course of an eloquent appeal,
it was stated that within the past year no less than
1,000 patients had been relieved and cured. The sum
collected amounted altogether to 201. 13s. 4d.
REXTRAORDINARY BIRTIL—A poor woman of the
name of Mumford, residing in Angel-alley, Bishopsgate-
street, and whose husband earns about Os. a week, was
yesterday morning delivered of two boys and a girl,
living and likely to live. They had four before this event
made them the parents of seven, all in ono room, and in
very deplorable circumstances. This case is a very
lamentable one, and is represented to us as one well
deserving the charity of the public.
On Wednesday a large brass mortar, weighing
about nine tons, was landed at the Dockyard, from the
Cornwallis, and is to be sent round to the eastward. It
was brought from Trincomalee, said to have been taken
by the Tartars ; it was found buried in the mud, and is
supposed to have been there about 200 years. The orifice
of the piece is about 2ft. 3i in., and it appears to be of
good workmanship. —Devonport Independent.
