lately a patrol belonging to the parish of . t. Pancras.who
came by his death under the following eireninstances. The
investigation continued until a late• hotir..and 1 of
the Commissioners of the parish atteaded,i4l consequence of
a report tt,at they had behaved improperly towards the
decease,l. •
Mr. John Cotbett, Secretary to the Watch Committee'
was sworn. • From his evidence it appeared,that the deceas-
ed had in his life time filled the office of patr-1 in the
parish. but, latterly became so nervous and debilitated
'that he. was rendered incapable of doing his duty.—
Varlone complaints had been made of him to the Co:nmis-
stoners, who called a meeting to investigate the matter.
fad ultimately came to a conclusion, that lie was unfit for
that office ; but in consideration of the deceased and
family, he was • suffered to bold a %tidier(' situation ; the
duties of which were not so important, and the, frivolous
reduction of 3s. fid. was taken from the usual salary. The '
deceased became extremely dejected and injured in his
mind.and whenever a Committee was called,he conjectured !
that it was to inquire into his conduct ; and he was fry
quently heard to say. that he was suspected of all the
burglaries in the parish, and setting fire to houses. I n
this deplorable condition he-remained until Mouday morn-
ha last, when his wife beard the report of a pistol proceed- •
lag from the bed room of the deceased and she called three
dames, and received no answer ; but as soon as she heard I
the groans of her husband saying. "My Hear,
come up, I have shot myself," she instantly raised
an alarm. and on entering the room the de-
erased was found laying on the bed which
was covered with blood ;•a pistol was lying by his side
,with which he had shot nianself through the throat, the
'entente having gone through the head, and beaten away
the base of the scull; the blood was Bowing profusely from
the wound.
De. Knsk attended, and by Its directions the unhappy
WO was carried to the above hospital. This witness said
that a report appeared in one of the newspapers, casting a
degree of unwarrantable odium on the commissioners for
having discharged the man ; but he was not discharged.
he *se allowed a salary, the reduction of which had evident,

corrected.
Oserge Collins corroborated the above statement, and

thought he was deranged.
