He had applied to the Alendicity Society and the parish of St. (like's. From the latter he had received • shilling, upon which he had rusted for the last three days.

Unwin, Esq. the Coroner, on view of the body of Elizabeth Mills, who terminated her existence on the preceding day, while under the influence of a paroxysm of insanity, produced by jealousy of the conduct of a young man who had been paying his addresses to her.  Mr. Sitllnow—l am a surgeon, and reside in the Hamlet of Ratcliffe. Yeterday morning, about mix o'clock, I was called on to attend the deceased, who had been a few minutes before taken out of the Canal. I went. in consequence. to the place where she lay, and used every means to recover her. My exertions succeeded. and I restored her to reopiration and sense. She contested to me that she had thrown herself in, and accounted for doing so front a jealous feeling. She complained of the misconduct of Henry make, who paid his addresses to her, and who she said she had seen keeping company with another female. 1 entertained certain hopes of her recovery, and left her for a short time. I returned back in about half an hour: during my absence she had had an itnerview with Blake, which I think was too great an exertion for a person in her debilitated state. Site survived about two hours, and died from the effects of her immersion. She appeared about twenty years of age. Mr. Bennington. one of the Jury, said, he went to the Canal, and saw deceased taken out. She was brought to that house, and I medical assistance was procured ; the only mark of violence per. reptible on her person was a graze near the eye, occasioned by the drags. Site was not above five minutes in the water. Henry Blake, the person who caused this calamity, said, I am a atone-mason, and live in Stepney. I have been acquainted with the deceased about three months; during that time she told me that I she had another Krim. I saw her alive the night before she threw herself into the Canal ; she then appeared as well as usual. The Coroner briefly summed up, and the Jury returned a ver. diet of " Suicide." committed while labouring under insanity. The deceased, who possessed much personal attraction, was the daughter of a moat respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood. Yesterday forenoon another Inquest was held at the White Sean public-house, Great Dover-street, on the bialy of Catherine Keaton, whose ease was fully detailed on Friday in our Union. hall report. The surgeon, who examined the deceased's body, deposed that there were three bruises on the angle of the left eye ; that he had opened the heart, and discovered that they had not pro. duceti death ; but that her dissolution was occasioned by a tit of apoplexy. A verdict to that effect was then returned.
