In a Tuesday inquest at the glass room of the Compter jurors heard that Mrs Jane Sworth aged thirty four died by her own hand in prison on Sunday morning. She was the daughter of a tradesman from Houndsditch and had married against her father’s wishes. Her life was marked by intoxication and dissipation after working at bonnet making in Charterhouse Street and the loss of her situation may have driven her to rash acts. A verdict of temporary insanity was returned. Also on Tuesday Norman Ramblo, forty seven, was found dead in his No 3 Jamesia Street back room by strangulation after tying a neck line to a bed canopy iron spike. In another case Mary Ann Dixon a widow aged forty two was found hanging in a Bow kitchen after washing and dressing her nephew for school. The jury returned that she had destroyed herself with no clear evidence on her state of mind.
