On the eew4 (covered with fine black cloth and white nails) being pleceii in the hearse a general feeling of regret burst fovth from present, and several females shed tears. The Qrst or who entered the mourning-coach was an uncle so.v the de" ceased, Mr. Bowen (who attended the inquest), and" f other near relatives of the family.

He did not believe her, and after laughing at her went away ; about nine the same night he again saw her in a different part of Bethnal-green-road, and she repeated that she bad taken poison. Finding heOery ill he assisted her to the next doctor's shop, when it was recommended that she should be taken to the hospital immediately, which was done. During the whole of the time that witness had seen her she did not exhibit the slightest symptoms of a disturbed mind, or the least trace of insanity. In reply to a question from a Juror as to the mode of livelihood of the deceased, the witness said she was of loose habits, but saanetimes got her living by silk winding.

SUICIDE BY TAKING MURIATIC ACID.---°n Monday, at six o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr Payne, at the Skinners' Arms, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate, on the body of Thomas Cullimore, aged 67, a rag and bottle-merchant, in an extensive way of lrasiness, residing at No. .5, Union-street, who committed selfdestruction by taking a large quantity of mirziatic acid on Saturday morning last. Elizabeth Brinkman, daughter of the deceased, said she resided with her father. On Saturday morning last, shortly after the deceased had got up, she was sitting in the parlour, when he came through and passed into the s 1301). He returned in three or four minutes, exclaiming " I have done it." Witness said " Good God, what have you done ?" to which he replied, .‘ I have taken muriatic acid." She urged him to take some salt and water, and instantly sent for a medical man, who attended. The deceased continued getting worse, and died at six o'clock on Sunday evening. The deceased bad been in a desponding state of mind for som ! He drank, at past, but witness was not cognizant of the cause. e He was not in embarrassed circumstances.f at least, two ounces of the liquid. Thomas White, No. 28, Myddleton.street, spoke to the deceased's general desponding state of mind, but was not aware of the cause. Mr. Rance, the surgeon, who was called in, said be had, attended the deceased for four years. His raiod was much affected at times. 'He was sent for at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, and found that the deceased had taken a large 'quantity ohnuriatic acid: 116 administered an emetic, but without effect. He was much surprised death did not take place instantaneously on drink' ing the poison, and could only account for it by the acid not touching the throat, for had it done so strangulation would have immediately followed. By the Coroner,-.I have no doubt but the deceased drank it from +lie bottle produced. A quarter of the quantity would pro-duce death.—Verdict Temporary Insanity.
