Hi Jean, recently I emailed the Huddersfield Examiner for any information on an attempted suicide of George FRANCE in Dec 1860 - I received a wonderful reply - 1)Our WEEKLY Examiner dated 8 December 1860 carried a brief report of Mr France's attempt to take his life. ( incident would be dated 4 Dec) 2)Our WEEKLY Examiner dated 15 December 1860 carried another brief report on his death and the subsequent inquest. ( death would be on 10 Dec ) I am unable to send you actual copies of these reports as I would have to enlist the assistance of another department and this would mean that our normal research/copy charges come into play. I will reproduce the reports as they appeared: 1)Attempted suicide - On Tuesday evening last, Geo.France, farmer, Deighton, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a blunt razor; but he only succeeded in inflicting a gash three inches in length, without severing the wind pipe. There is, however, no hope of his recovery. He is being attended by Mr Clough, surgeon, and another medical gentleman. 2) FATAL TERMINATION OF THE RECENT ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. George France,farmer, residing at Deighton, whose attempted suicide we recorded last week, expired on Monday night last from the effects of the wounds which he inflicted upon his throat with a blunt razor. The inquest was held on Wednesday, at The Woolpack, Deighton, before G.Dyson Esq, coroner, and a jury, when a verdict was returned that the deceased had committed self-destruction while in a fit of temporary insanity. I'm sorry that it is not pleasant reading and hope that its not too traumatic for you when you do read it. regards from a cold Huddersfield, England Stephen Carter Examiner Library/Archive. ******************** I hope this helps, happy hunting Annette WATSON Lismore 2480 At 07:23 PM 03/02/2010 +1030, you wrote: >The Huddersfield Chronicle had a detailed account of a suicide incident >and inquest in 1864.

Hi, Thank you for that information I will see what I can do. My husband and I ran a funeral business in our country town for 20 years (the numbers were so low that we both worked at other jobs at the same time but I'm not easily shocked.). I even managed to watch an autopsy on one person I took to the coroner. We live in an isolated area and covered huge distances. Nothing dull about my life!!!!! Jean in S.
