Mrs. Pinsent of Buckland, Newton Abbot, Devon, has committed suicide by taking prussic acid. She had over-drawn her account, and her brother had come to the house to see her about it. The matter, however, had been arranged with her mother when Mrs. Pinsent was sent for. Instead of going to her brother she entered her bedroom, where she was found in a dying state: At the inquest yesterday a verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane was returned.
