street. Mr. David Dickman deposed that the deceased was
his wife, and had been married to him about six months.
For the last eight or ten weeks she. had laboured under a
nervous excitement, and would occasionally express her ap-
prehension that she should lose hi r reason, at which times
she would desire every sort of weapon to be kept out of her
way, or otherwise she
might destroy herself. Witness last
sa v deceased alive a little after ten o'clock, on Saturday
morning,when she appeared calm and composed. About
half-past twelve o'clock he had just
_returned from visiting a
patient, when his female servant informed him,
that missing
the deceased, she had been to her
room, and found the doer
locked. Witness, whose fears were greatly heightened, judg-
ing the worst had happened, hastened to the room,
and re-
ceiving no answer to his repeated knockings he b,.vest
open
the door, and on entering the room he beheld deceased lying
on the floor, deluged in blood, which was ;
flowing from a
frightful wound in her throat. Witness, at one glance, saw
that life was quite extinct. The Jury returned a verdict of
" Temporary Insanity."

a finnan having been published, forbidding the use of the
European costume, except by public functionaries.
