SUICIDE OF LORD' CONGLETON.
it appears that the unfortunate Nobleman had for some
time past been in a low, desponding state of mind, and
lisfl inconsequence been under medical treatment ; but
the causes of his mental depression were supposed to be
purely physical, for it did not appear that there existed
any others which could account for his thjeetion ; and
us his Lordship contiuutd to take his regular exercise,
and obs/rve his accustomed hours and habits—which
were remarkable for their punctual regularity—no sus-
picion eve: entered the heads of any, of his family, his
friends or domestics, that he contemplated laying violent
hands upon himself:
llis Lordship had retired to bed on Tuesday night at
his usual time, and rose yesterday morning between
eight and nine o'clock. A barber attended to shave him
Shortly after nine, and on his departure his Lordship was
left alone in his dressing-room, as it was supposed en-
gaged in the act of dressing himself ; but the butler,
some short time afterwards, having gone into the room
was horror struck at discovering his master suspended
by the neck, and quite dead. The alarm was instantly
given, and medicull assistance procured, but it was of no
avail, for life's subtle spark was extinct.
It is difficult to say whether the melancholy occurrence
more excited the feeling of surprise or of horror when
this discovery was made ; for, as was remarked by some
of the family, he was the very last moan who could have
been supposed likely to have committed such an act,
being a person of FAnguiar equanimity and mildness of
manners. The ]hind had, however, doubtless lost its
Wance, awl lie had ceased to be master of his own
actions.

INQUEST ON THE BODY.
Ar. inquest, which did not terminate until four o'clock
afternoon, was held before Mr. Wel(ley, the Coroner,
f.,,nd a Jury consisting chiefly of County Magistrates,
upon the remains of Henry Brooke Parnell, Baron Con-
gieton, at his Lordship's residence, No. 43 Cadogan-
place, Chel.zea.
The Coroner having taken evidence of the deceased
Nobleman being found suspended to the bed post in his
sleeping chamber at half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
by nis valet Manning, and of prompt medical assist-
ance having been called in, he proceeded to examine
the Hon. John Parnell, his Lordship's eldest son, as to
the state of the deceased Nobleman's mind. The witness
stAted that in the early part of the month of April last
his father had a severe attack of fever, which brought on
delirium, and from that period his Lordship had been
attended by Mr. Bolton, a surgeon, and occasionally by
Dr. Clambers.
The Coroner asked the jury if he should adjourn the
inquest for the attendance of Mr. Bolton, or if they
would like to have the second son of the deceased Noble-
man examined ; but, as they made no reply, be briefly
summed up, and observed that it was their duty to in-
quire in all cases, when a person was found hanging,
whether it was the act of himself or not. The Coroner
then expressed, at some length, his abhorrence at the
barbarous state of the law in providing punishment upon
the dead, in cases of self-murder, and after some further
observations, the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
Imanity."
