Sinews or A BOURNIGIOUTH TRADBAMAN'S The deputy coroner, Mr. J. Druitt, jun., held an inquest on Wednesday on the body of Mrs. Annie Whitlock, the wife of a greengrocer, living in the Commercial-road. The inquest had been adjourned from the previous Monday, as on that occasion the husband was too drunk t , be examined. The deceased was a woman between 40 awl 50 years of was, and her husband is some seven years r,unger. We believe she was his old master's widow when he married her, A one seven years ago. She seems to have been a woman of a very excitable temperament, but, although rumours speak to the contrary. according to the statement of the husband they had lived as happily as most married couples. On the Sunday morning the attention of some men was directed to the fact that lying on the steps of one of the bathing machines was a woman's hat and shawl, and there were footprints in the eand down to the water. About half-a-mile from there and to the eastward of the pier a boy found the body of the deceased floating face downwards.—The husband was called, and he said he last saw her alive "lunday afternoon at about a quarter to one o'clock, ohm she went out of doom, as he thought to go to her st.ter's, Mrs. Briggs, to dinner. The deceased had been unwell for the previous nine or ten day, and could take no solid food, but shortly before going out on Sunday afternoon she said she felt better, and that she could eat a good dinner. At about halfpast eleven o'clock she had some weak brandy and water—not more than a full wine glees She also had some strawberries. The little dog which went out with the deceased came back in the course of the evening. Finding that deceased did not return he went to enquire after her, first going to Mrs. Brigg's, but found that she had not been there, He then went to the house of Mrs. Coles where deceased was sometimes in the habit of calling, but could not hear anything of his wife. He did not make any further enquiries that night.—Questioned further by the Coroner, witness stated that his wife in no way had given any indieation that she was likely to destroy herself. When pretty well she was of a cheerful, lively disposition, but she had always been delicate. He had no misunderstanding with his wife on Sondes, morning. He had some brandy and water with her. She was not in the habit of taking stimulants to excess, aud only took them when unwell—she sometimes had a bottle of beer.— The Deputy-Coroner: Is there anything you know of which will throw any light on this matter?—The witness (after a moment's c viideration) ; Nothing. She certainly said she should like a nice bath, and how much good it would do her.—The DeputyCoroner : Then you have nothing to suggest to the jnry as a reason for the occurrence ?—The witness : No, n ,thing. Sometimes we have had a word or two, but it has been about businws transactions. The brother-in-law of the deceased, Joseph Briar., poulterer, told the jury there hod never been, to witness's knowledge, any serious differences between the deceased and Mr. Whitlock—nothing beyond what would occur from two excitable persons living together. As far an he had been able to observe the husband had always treated her with consideration. She was excitable at times, but it would be difficult to say whether it was caused through the use of stimulants or from her ailmenta.—A pensioner named Buckett, formerly in the employ of Mr. Whitlock, gave it as his opinion that they got on fairly well together. They occasionally had words, as most married people did; hut he had never noticed any serious difference. He heard her once say that she hoped Mr. Whitlock would be better, for if not she was afraid she would go out of her mind. That was five or six weeks ago.—And Elizabeth Elkin, laundress, said when she saw the deceased on Saturday afternoon she was lying on the sofa in her clothes, and seemed to be in great poi J. She was very sick, and said she bad had nothing to eat for three days, and could net eat. She talked senelblv at times, but at other times witness cool I got und,rstand her. Mr. Whitlock was very kind to his wife while witness was present. —Questioned by the Berney-Coroner as to any +works made by the deces.ed, witness said that on ,a t,torday afternoon site sail, while siiff-ring dreadfully I want to die out of my psio."—The jury returned verdict of "Suicide during Temporary Insanity."  1.
