An Inquisition was taken on Saturtray at the
house of Mr. Caicot, Newington.ruad, on the body
of Ilartiet Hester Pranks, the daughter oft retired
merchant. The evidence went to prove that Miss
Pranks had taken a quantity of laudanum on Fri.
day night, and she died In consequence of it the fol.
I"ing day. She was an accomplished young lady,
22 years of age, and had been in a dejected state for.
the last fortnight, in consequence of a disappoint.
in her affections. As it came out in evidence, that
'he had taken the laudanum not with a view of de.
strilying liirself, but of lulling her cares, a servant
being present when she took it, the J,Jry returned
verdict—Accidental death.
