September: At Newland, on the body of Mr BENJ. NICHOLSON, aged about 55 years, who hung himself with a halter to the bedpost in his bedroom; the deceased had been for some time much distracted in his mind, and was, for change of air and scene, on a visit to his brother, where every kindness was shown him. The Jury being perfectly satisfied, from the evidence, of his insanity, returned a verdict accordingly.

Unable to trace a burial.
