MYSri.mous OCCURRENCE.

Au investigation took liken yesterday at the
Three Jolly !hatchets, IVood-green. Totteidom,
before J. W. UNwtx, Esq. Coroner for !Middlesex,
on the body of Henry Webb, who was found is
the New River, near the Jolly' Butchers ptlhh4
house, with his throat cut.
From the evidence adduced it appeared, that
the deceased was about furry years of age;
he had lived in the service of Mr.. Elphinstn"e'
and since of Mr. Nichols, of Whetstone, es
a coachman, but he had been lately out of
place, in consequence of some imputation on
his character; and melancholy and dejection lisd
seized his mind. On his body being taken out 01
the water he was completely dressed, with his hat
on ; no appearance of blood was on his clothes,
bin on being taken to the public house and his
pockets searched, blood was discovered upon his
shirt, and upon untying his neck handkerchief A
:deep wound was found in his throat, which had
completely severed the windpipe, yet neither an
his.bandkerchief nor .on the external part of his
dress was there the least appearance of blood.
The witnesses, however, supposed,' that as his
person was completely immersed in the water, the
stains might have disappeared ; vet on the other..
hand the labouring man Who found him, and wild
worked in the employ of the New River Compaq,.
thought he had been in the water but a short time,
and to the view of the Jury lie seemed to have been
very recently dead. No money was found in hit
pocket, but. a Landon Hospital, ticket was taken
front him, by which it appeared .that in Febraary
last he ‘t as an out-patient there, and had received
medicines from that Institutitin. None of 61
witnesses not the Jury had beard any rumours a
suspicions intimated of any murder havult,heeil
committed, and it was proved that several of 111
,elution: had attended to see his body, and theY
expressed their opinion that he had destrqed
himself.

The' Jury, after a long deliberation, returned
the following Verdict, which leaves the case opo
to further investigation c—" That the decease('
was found dead in the waters of the New nivel.,
with a mortal wound in his throat ; but whether
the mortal wound was inflicted by himself; or-hr
some person or persons unknown, no evidena
appeal' to the Jurors."
