SINGULAR SUICIDE.

- - - -
(From the Shrewsbury News of Saturday.)
Yesterday week afternoon an inquest was held in
the large room at the Rodney Inn, Coalbrookdale,
before John Hinton, Es q. Coroner, and a highly re-
spectable Jury, of whom the Rev. W. Yate was fore-
man, over one William May bury, a youth of eighteen,
who had placed his head under a forge-hamtner,
for
the purpose of self-destruction. David Williams,
elderly man, employed at the forge, deposed that ell
the previous Wednesday, he and his fellow workmen,
who were the deceased and his father and brother,
had done some work for one William Jenks, no 'lli
gineer, for which he had given them two gallons °f
ale, over which they spent their evening in the forge,
and had drank some six quarts at ten o'clocka
that the deceased was " fresh, and very random,
Yung
took several liberties with one John Salisbury, a Youll
man who was with them, such as biting him by th:
nose and the like ; that the witness chid hint,
did likewise his father ; that he shed tears, anel
muttering something, suddenly turned round, sell a
the "gate" which disengaged the water that noot
the machinery of the hammer, set the forge to wr„or,"
and immediately threw himself upon the anvil. -1-"c3
hammer struck several blows before they could stop
it. Thought the deceased a very daring young we
John Salisbury corroborated the evidence of Williams,
and said that on hearing the forge go to work, he
turned round, seized the deceased, and pulled
him
from under the hammer quite dead, his head being
crushed to pieces.
After some further evidence, the Jury, cor.sulted f
about twenty minutes, and returned a verdict 0
" Temporary Insanity."
