DEPTFORD. Melancholy Suicide of a Young Woman.

On Friday, Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner, held an inquiry at the "Rosemary Branch," Upper Lewisham-road, On the body of Eliza Ann Constable, aged 24, who committed suicide by hanging herself on Wednesday last.

The deceased it appeared came from Yalding, where her friends reside, and entered the service of Mrs. Parkhurst, of 7, Clarence-terrace, in the above neighbourhood. For the past three weeks she had complained of pains in her head, and had been under medical treatment, but without any favourable results. On Wednesday morning last she asked a young woman named Elizabeth Hall, living servant in an adjoining house, whether people who went mad committed suicide, but nothing particular was noticed in consequence. In the middle of the day her mistress, who was going out, called to her, but receiving no reply she proceeded upstairs to ascertain where she was, when the first thing that attracted her notice was seeing the legs of deceased hanging below the upper staircase banister. An alarm was immediately raised, and Mr. Walburton, builder, ran in and found deceased suspended by the neck to the staircase railing. She was instantly cut down, and Mr. Sargent, a medical gentleman, who was attending in the neighbourhood, endeavoured to restore animation, but all to no avail. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide while labouring under temporary derangement.
