Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest wAs held before COAnLEs J.EtM METT, Esq., at the Spread Eagle, Kennington-.lne, on view of the body of MIrs. Elizabeth Leggatt, aged 36, a mnoat respectable lady, who cut her throat on the 3d ijst., andl of which wound she died on Friday last, at her house, Guildford.terrdce, Kcnnington-cross. Mrl. Iary Leggatt stated, that she had attended her daughter-in- law for the last seven weeks, who was in a very low desponding way, occasioned from a norvous complaint. Witness about noon on Fri- day se'nnight went down stairs to get deceased some broth, ard on her retutrn she was sitting up in the bed, holding something to her threat, and a quantity of blood was upon theclothes. Witness being dreadfully frigltened, left the room, called for assistance, and s9onreturned again with MIrs. Clayton, when it was discovered that the decease(d had cut her throat with azazor, which was bloody on the mantel-shelf. AMedical aid was imriediately sent for, when Dr "oung promzptly arrived and sewed up the wound. The deceased lingered, after committing the rmsh act, for a week. She had been for two years past in a very low desponding way, and during the greater part of that time was incapable of attending tr her fanlly. James Forbes Young, Al.D., of Paradise-streot, Lambeth, was sent for on Friday, the 3d instant, to attend the deceased, and found her sitting up in the bed. A considerable quantity of blood was on the floor, bed, and bed.clothes. The deccased was holding a cloth to her throat, on removing whlch he discovered an incision in the threat extending backwards, with the windpipe conpletely divided: thte extent was two inches in length, and one in depth; he instantly col. lected the parts together, sewved it up, and dressed the wound. MWit. ness Iad known the deceased lady about ten years; had attended het from February last; sele was tlhan very low.spirited, and in April, after her confinement, there was every symptom of insanity daily increasing ott her. Witness has no doubt her death was occasioned by inflammation on the windpipe, caused by the incision. No furiher evi(dence being adduced the Jury unanimoualy re- turned the following verdict:-" That tIh unfortunate deceased lady carae to her death by cutting her throat while labouring under a state of insanity." The deceased has left a husband and five children to lament her lo5s, the youngest of which, is only fAve rnonths eld. St WCIDE.
