largely and lost extensively in railway rbares. It was
difficult to ascertain the precise amount of his lo sses,
which was very great. In one transaction alone lost
2,0001. Although deceased was not what be would: call
a wealthy man, yet their trade was of a meat promie:rg
character. Since he lost so heavily by railway specula -
tions, he became an altered man, and wAs exceedingly
low and dejected in spirits. The manuscripts produced
were written by deceased after he cut his throat.
The following are the writings alluded to, and all bear
the date of the 24th of November, 1845.
"1. Dear Friends,—My fate is unfortunate. Do throw
a veil over my errors. °God bless you, and pardon me.
Ohl my good friend Scott."
"2. Dear Jackson,—My fate is unfortunate. Throw
a veil over my errors. Poor Scott. God bless him, and
pardon me.—G. G."
3. I leave all matters in your hands with other wood
advisers, Scott and Jackson.'
" 4. Agreeable to what is in my will in Wren's hands."
The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of
" Temporary insanity."
A solicitor who was present said, that he had to attend
that day the meetings of the creditors of two extensive
firms who, from losses in railway speculations, were
compelled to wind up their affairs and stop payment.
