which allusion has been made. The oath that I admi-
nistered to you, and which is the same that is admi-
nistered to Jurors upon all similar occasions, is, that " you
shall diligently inquire, and true presentment make, on
behalf of our Sovereign Lord the King, how and in what
manner Lord Graves came by his death, and true verdict
give, according to the evidence, so help you GOD."
The Juror, however, contended that he was justified
in putting the question, and pressed for the answer.
The CORONER said he would raise no further objection
to the question. The witness might, if he pleased, give
answer.

The question having been put, the witness said, " I
cannot, upon my oath, take upon myself to state what
was the cause which produced that depression of spirits
under which his Lordship laboured."
The Juror said he should not put the question to any
other witness.

Mr. Charles Renaud was then examined. He stated:
Lord Graves has resided in my house only since the Ist
of January last; I have known his Lordship for the last
thirty years, and having heard the foregoing evidence ;
corroborate the same, as to the depression of spirits under
which his Lordship laboured. From my own observations
can state that his Lordship's mind was very much ab-
stracted, and I have observed it since the first of January ;
I had not seen his Lordship for six months previous to
the time he took lodgings in my house, but at that time
be had no lowness of spirits ; on the contrary, he was
very jocular, even under bodily infirmity, and I have no
doubt that he destroyed himself in a fit of despondency.
Sir James Anderson, of Dublin, M.D. was next exa-
mined. He said, I now reside at Uxbridge-house, on a
professional visit to the Marquis of Anglesey ; Lord
Graves consulted me en the 4th instant, for the first time,
en account of his bad state of health. It is my opinion
that his Lordship's mind was greatly depressed, arising
both from bodily disease and mental excitement, and I
have no doubt that in one of those flights of excitement
he destroyed himself. It is no uncommon thing, excited
to the extent Lord Graves was, to be sufficiently sound
in mind to do any rational act in one minute, and in the
next to be so lost in mind as to commit suicide, particu-
larly when the instrument of destruction was near him.
The two medical gentlemen who were called in to at-
tend the Noble deceased, were then called, but they only
proved that he was dead when they arrived.
A view was then taken of the body by the Jury ; and,
on their return to the Inquest-room, the Coroner briefly
addressed them upon the melancholy duty they had per-
formed.

The Jury, after consulting together a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict, " That the deceased committed suicide
by cutting his throat in a sudden fit of delirium."
His Lordship was born on the 28th of May, 1775;
married June 27th, 1803, Lady Mary Paget, youngest
daughter of the late Earl of Uxbridge, and sister of the
present Marquis of Anglesey. Eleven children, we un-
derstand, are the issue of the marriage, the whole of whom
are living. Lady Graves is 47 years of age. A month
or two since, one of the daughters was married to Mr.
Hawkey, son of the banker in Fenchurch-street.
