CORONRR'S I N QUEBT.—An inquest was held on Wed-
nesday afternoon lase, at the Crab Tree, Fulham, on the
body of an interesting female, under twenty years of
age, named Caroline Welsh, who destroyed herself by
taking about two ounces of arsenic, while labouring, as
it was supposed, under a depression of spirits, occasioned
by her lover deserting her. It appeared front the evidence
of Mrs. M. V. Dize, who resides in t'rab Tree White
Cottage, that deceased had lived in her house between
four and five years ; when at the early age of fifteen or
sixteen, she unfortunately became acquainted with a per-
ton named John Collins: a regular intimacy subsisted
between them near four years, and she considered that
the union of the parties would be the result of their at-
tachment. This she was fully confirmed in when she
received iatelligence that the marriage was to have
taken place in last October. tier fickle minded lover,
however, changed his determination, and was actually
married to another. From this time the poor girl had
been very dull and low spirited ; the disappointment she
had received seemed to hang most heavily on her mind,
and she was wholly al:ered en her confiner. On Tuesday
morning sloe got up rather early, and went to [homer.
. smith ; on her return, she compl lined of great pun in
her stomach, and the witness advised her to he down.--
In a short time she went into the room, and toned bra
siting on the side of the bid, complaining of beirg eery
cold : some wine and water was given her, when the
witness left her in the care of leer mother, who had thee
arrived front Hammersmith. On her return she found the
deceased in her mother's arms, pale, shivering, acrd coo•
plaining much of the cold. Empties and some ho: eater
were given her, but she refused them, saying she meld
not take any thine, but wished to be left, and to die
quietly. In this manner she lingered until four o'eleck
ie
the afternoon, when she expired. In answer to some ilsee
lions from the Jury, the witcese said, she had lasts
poison for mice in tne drawer, on the wrapper of Ouch
was written " poison ;" this percel was found in ber bed.
Mr. John Sellers, of Hammersmith, chemist, said on re!
ing to Mr. !Age's house, on Tuesday morning, he was r'
formed the deceased had Liken poison. On going into her
room he found a paper pace% in her heti, with the word
" poison" written on it, a portion of which the ark Orr•
ledged she had taken. She then laboured under gratrio.
in her stomach, site died in consequence. The Ci.rener
and
Jury equally lamented the fate of the unfortunate geri.asel
felt convinced that the conduit of Collins bad operated to
some degree upon her mind, and re-turned their vercn,::3t--,
" That the deceased poisoned lieri.elf, labouring at I
time under a state of mental deliriuni."
