His features were not in any way distorted. On the dressing table were found two memorandums writ. ten in French; the one containing the following words, "I have enjoyed the world long enough, and find there is nothing worth living for?' and the other, "I owe Mr. Dickens three weeks rent, and he can take my clothes for payment. My body I give to the surgeons." The medical evidence showed that death had been caused by strangulation, and there was no doubt but that the act had been committed by himself. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased had destroyed his life while in a state of temporary insanity." On the verdict being given, a medical man who had been called in applied to the coroner for his order that the body might be given up to him, in accordance vrith+b desire expressed by the deceased in one of the notes found on his table.
