    In relation to his death there is the following note:-
    The cause of death was suicide. It was reported at the inquest that he had been in low spirits before and that two months before had had an attack of paralysis. On the night in question he was reported missing and a search was started which very quickly found his body in a cowhouse. He had cut his throat with his own knife. The jury found that he had committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.

    Now New Cavendish Street - the name changed from Upper Marylebone Street in the late nineteenth century.
    Nearby public house 'The Ship', 18a Upper Marylebone Street, Marylebone, London - also listed as 22 Saville Street in 1881.
    The address of this pub is now given as 134 New Cavendish Street, W1, following street renaming.
    Hence 24 Upper Marylebone Street is most probably now 140 New Cavendish Street.
  • Morning Post - Tuesday 24 February 1852
    MARLBOROUGH-STREET.- Robbery by a House- keeper.- Eliza Nash, housekeeper to Messrs. Charles and John Rippington, butchers, Upper Marylebone-street, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having robbed her masters to a considerable extent. Charles Rippington said he placed 16l. in silver in the till on Sunday, about 12 o'clock. About 7 or 8 o'clock the same evening he came home to his tea, and he then noticed that one of the bearings of the till had dropped, so that the till could be pulled out. He examined the till, and missed about 3l. He suspected the prisoner, who had been in his employ as housekeeper for about five months, and he asked her it she bad any objection to have her boxes searched, the prisoner replied, " No," and prosecutor went into her bed- room, and, in her presence, examined her boxes. Nothing of a suspicious nature was found in the boxes. Prosecutor seeing a tea-caddy on the table, asked the prisoner if it was hers. The prisoner said it was, and she unlocked it, saying she had some silver in it, about 20l. she believed. When the tea-caddy was opened, prosecutor found several parcels of money in paper. One parcel contained 3l. 6d. in silver, the sum missed from the till. A second parcel contained 7l. 3s. in silver ; a third parcel had 7l. 7s. 6d., mostly in half crowns; and a fourth parcel bad 14l. 10s. in gold. The prisoner remarked if he, prosecutor, could identity any of the money, he was welcome to take it. Several cigars were also found, which corresponded with cigars prosecutor was in the habit of smoking. Robert Poole said he was at home on Sunday afternoon. He saw the prisoner in the parlour where the till was. He went to the door for a few minutes, and on his return he found the prisoner had left the room. Police constable, E 79, said, when he took the prisoner into custody, the prisoner said she had drawn some money from a bank at Clifton before she came to town, and that not liking bank notes, she had afterwards changed them for gold and silver. The prisoner was fully committed.
