Suicide.

On Tuesday, the 14th ult., the family of ---- Wybrow, Esq., residing on Bromley common, were thrown into a state of excitement by the sudden disappearance of Hannah Hunt, the nurse. It appears that deceased had got herself and the child (nearly four years of age) ready, about two o’clock, to take their usual drive, but instead of going to the front, she went into the garden. Her long absence caused much alarm, and a strict search was made, but it was not till about seven o’clock in the evening that any tidings of her could be obtained; it was then ascertained that she had drowned herself in a pond adjoining the premises.

The body having been taken out of the water, was taken to the "Crown Inn." A surgeon was sent for, and every means were used to restore animation, but without effect.

An inquest on the body was held on Thursday, the 16th, before C. J. Carrtar, Esq., but the evidence adduced pointed to no motive for self-destruction. A marked difference in her manner which was usually cheerful had been noticed by her fellow servants, and others, of late, and at times she appeared very depressed in spirits. The jury entertained no doubt but that she had destroyed herself while labouring under temporary insanity, and gave their verdict accordingly.
