Howard, Coroner, on a view of the body of John Tucker, a seaman, who was discovered hanging to a bed post, at the Neptune and Mars, where lie had taken lodgings for the night. It appeared in evidence, that he went into that public house on Tuesday evening, being a stranger. and siting himself down in the tap-room, lie called for i plot of beer, with which he was supplied ; that lie placed himself in the darkest part of the room, and although several persons were drinking and conversing in the same room, he did not appear to take any notice of them, but sat in a melancholy mood, with his elbow upon the table, and his bead resting upon his hand, for more than an hour, when lie went to bed, previously to whieb, however, he bad booked his name, and paid ten shillings and sixpence to Mr. Parnell, the landlord, (who is a partner in the packet) for his passage to Plymouth. On the following afternoon, the servant, on going into the bed-room to make the bed, found the deceased suspended by a black silk handkerchief to the bed-post ; she called assistance, and the body was cut down, but it was quite cold ; he appeared as if he I ad been dead some hours; on searching the deceased's pocks '9, :here were found between six and seven pounds in money, two silver watches, a red morocco pocket-book, aid several papers, one of which was the certificate of the discharge of John Tucker, from his Majesty's ship Spencer, on the Ist inst. when that ship was paid off, to which it appears lie bad belonged upwards of three years, as an able seaman.
