SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FEMALE.—Yester day an inquest was resumed before Mr. W. Cartter, Coroner, at the Coburg Arms, Webber. street, Lambeth, on the body of Sophia Wallis, aged 20. Mary Deans, residing at 3, Newstreet, said that deceased lodged in that house, occupying the first floor. On the morning of Tuesday last, she came home about one o'clock, accompanied by a man named Chivers; she was then very tipsy. Between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, she was called up by Chivers, who said he thought Susan was dead, and on looking at her, she appeared to be so. Chivers immediately went for a surgeon, and Mr. Sewell attended. The previous week I heard deceased expressed her regret at the course of life she was following, and wish herself dead. She was much attached to Chivers, who has recently enlisted in the 10th Hussars, and wished to go with him to Dublin, where the regiment is stationed. Mr. J. Sewell, of the New-cut, surgeon, said he saw the deceased about eight o,clock on Tuesday morning last, and found her quite dead. He had since opened the body, and found an effusion of serum on the brain, sufficient to account for death. On analysing the contents of the stomachs, he found it strongly impregnated with oxalic acid. The man Chivers was here called, and, after being cautioned, briefly stated the different places where they had been drinking on the previous evening ; and the Jury returned a Nerdict—" That the deceased died by poison, but whether taken by herself, or administered by others, there was no evidence to show." The IN'etherby steeple chase, we hear, is fixed for Tuesday next, and will take place within a mile of the town.— Leeds Mercury.  of Surgeon. APPOINT E N —COMMalltiers P.
