SUICIDE.

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carte;
the Coroner- for Surrey, at the Angel Tavern, Rother-
hithe, respecting the death of Mrs. Mary Osborn,
aged 29, who committed suicide from Waterloo-
bridge, on Wednesday last.
The finding of the body on Monday last by a man
of the name of Henley, off Shadwell, caused much
notice. She was dressed in a black silk dress and
white satin bonnet. Round her neck was a guard
chain, and attached to it a handsome gold watch.
Suspended from her neck was a gold eye glass, and on
her fingers were four gold rings. She had also a fine
enamelled gold brooch.

Mr. Hunter, of 5, Bath-street, City-road, stated
the deceased was his sister, and he was able to identify
her by her clothes ; the body being dreadfully de-
composed. He saw her alive about a month ago, and
she seemed then in a sound state of mind, and in per-
fect health. Her husband had married her for her
property, and having ill used her left her, and went

Mr. J. Jarratt, of Bond-street, said he had known
the deceased for about five years. He had not seen
her for about five weeks before last Wednesday
morning, when, about one o'clock, he was taking
coffee at a coffeehouse in the Waterloo-road. She
came in and upbraided him for being there ; she was
in a very excited state, and although she did not ap-
pear to Lave been drinking he accounted for it by her
being a woman of very irritable temper. She com-
plained that be should be so near and not call upou
her. She sat down, but the landlady said she would
have no words in her house, and sent for a policeman.
The witness induced her to go with him, and they
walked towards the bridge, and having got. ()
