AND SUICIDE IN MAN. CHESTER.  An inquest was held on Monday, by the city 'coroner. Manchester, respecting the death of Annie Garlin, widow, aged 2% lately residing at 36, Cross street, Thompson street, Manchester; and also respecting the death of her daughter, Ada Millicent, aged 2, years.—Ann Lawrence, of Rochdale road, I said that she Was mother to the deceased woman. I The latter had for some time past been in a melancholy state of mind, and fretted very much about her husband, who had died about eight months I ago. She had said, at times, that she would like Ito poison herself and her child. About ten o'clock on Saturday night the witness left her daughter and grand-daughter together in their usual health, , but on Sunday morning, on entering their room, she found them both dead in bed.—Police-constable W. Hawkins produced a bottle and a spoon which he found on the floor of the room described by the previous witness.—J. J. Jordan, druggist, Shndehill, said that a fortnight ago the deceased woman asked him to supply her with an-ounce of 1 prussic acid, saying it was for her husband, who was a photographer. The witness refused to let her have the poison without proof of her statement, when she went away and shortly after returned with a woman named Mary Walker, who 'said that her statement was true. The witness I then gave the deceased what she had asked for. She seemed perfectly sane.—William Walls, surgeon, Oak-street. said that be raw the deceased woman before her death, and from her conduct he judged that she was not right in her mind. He had made a post-mortem examination of the bodies, and the symptoms showed that death bad been caused by prussic ticid.—The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the mother had died from poisoning herself whilst in an unsound slate of mind, and that the child had been poiaoned by its mother. They also censured the woman Mary Walker, and expressed an opinion that proceedings should be taken against her.

SCENE IN A POLICE COURT.—During the progress of the business at the Bolton Police Court on Saturday, a fishmonger named Michael Fitzgerald, of Derby street, made a most determined attempt to commit suicide. Hehad been apprehended under a warrant for assaulting his wife, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, and was placed in the warrant-box. According to his own admission he had been drinking heavily for some time, and was evidently labouring under delirium tremens. He kept muttering in Court that he was not going to be scandalised by the Superintendent and his men, and eventually an officer named Gaskell was placed beside him to keep him quiet. Suddenly a prisoner who sat on the other side of Fitzgerald exclaimed that he had a knife in his hand, and the same instant the spectators were horrified by seeing the man sawing away at his throat with a large open clasp knife. Gaskell at once wrested the knife from him, and after a severe struggle conveyed the man down stairs. He there became so violent that it was deemed advisable to envelope his hands in the leather gloves usually placed upon deranged persons, and to buckle his arms to his sides. Dr. Howarth was sent for, and on examination found that the man had inflicted a wound about three quarters of an inch in length on the left side of his throat. Fortunately it was not of a serious character. Later in the day Fitzgerald was brought up on the charge of assault, but as his wife failed to appear the ease was dismissed, the Bench telling the man that he would have to be taken care of.  Mrs. Lloyd, wife of Mr. Lloyd, grocer, High-street, Mold, Flintshire, while eating her dinner on Sunday. the 19th ult., swallowed two of her false teeth with their fastenings. Medical aid was unavailing, and she died on the following Sunday. It is supposed the fastening had penetrated the intestines.

Carter, one of the coroners for Gloucestershire, on Saturday held an inquest at Maisemore, a village near Gloucester, touching the death of Mr. Henry Clement Hartland, a farmer, of Dunswater, near Kington, Herefordshire, who committed suicide on Friday morning. The deceased was a young man, had not long entered upon his farm, and was about to be married. Latterly, however, he appeared to be in a very despondent state of mind, an I, thinking the change would be beneficial, had on Friday week gone to visit his uncle, Mr. Thomas Morris, of Maisemore Court. There he was seen by a Uloucester physician, who advised Mr. Morris to keep constant watch upon his movements. On Friday morning the deceased was talking with his uncle in the sitting room at the Court ; but on a friend calling about ten o'clock, he left the room, without saying a word as to where he was going. A few minutes afterwards the deceased was found lying on his back in a store-room, bleeding profusely from a large gun-shot wound in the head, and lifeless. A breech-loading gun was found lying by his side, having blood upon the muzzle stock. The gun belonged to Mr. Morris, and was usually kept in the room unloaded, the; gh cartridges were kept in a box near. The July wit. nesses examined were Mr. Morris and the physician Dr. Wii hbourne, and the jury then returned a verd bat the deceased had committed suicide while in a state of unsound mind.
