GARLAND, Furnishing Ironmonger, 51, 53, and 55, Bridge-street, Warrington.—Advt. Suicide at Nineteen—Coroner and " Unsound Mind " Verdict. At the Police Station on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. S. Brighouse, county coroner leld an inquest touching the death of Arthur Bentley aged nineteen, a forge worker, living at 3, Back Haydock-street. Theresa Bentley, deceased's widow, said deceased left home at five o'clock on Saturday evening when he appeared to be as usual. When he returned at 8.30 he was strongly under the influence of drink, and commenced to be quarrelsome because she spoke to him about coming home in such a cindition. Witness left the house, thinking deceased would go to sleep. She returned at nine o'clock and found the door fastened. Having forced an entrance she saw deceased hanging by the neck by a cord attached to a nail in the beam of the kit Chen ceiling. She called for assistance and Mrs. Thompson, a neighbour, cut deceased down. Dr. Hodgkinson was summoned and pronounced life to be extinct. Deceased had been out of work for weeks and had been very low-spirited, but he had never threatened- to take his life. They had been married nine months.--Mary Thompson, 26, Haydockstreet, deposed to cutting deceased down.—The Coroner remarked that the law assumed everyone to be of sound mind until the contrary was proved. The only evidence in that direction was that deceased was depressed. .If instead of hanging himself he had killed his wife, the jury would never have dreamt of saying he was of unsound mind. Cases of Suicide were becoming very frequent indeed. His view was that they would be more frequent if juries continually returned verdicts of "Unsound mind" when there was very little evidence to support that conclusion.—A verdict of "Suicide whilst of unsound mind" was returned.  e, - The British Medical Journal says— , : "Benger's Food has by its .
