When I got out of the haat, 1 ratne rap the stairs as far as the end of the bridge. I saw a man, appa rently intoxicated, and a dirty-looking w..man or girl.

" I wanted to deter her from it, but nos determined to do it myself, as I at•as out of employ, and had neither money nor means to procure any to support us. I wrote on a piece of paper, to put into my pocket, that I intended to drown toysrlf, and lift it, by accident, on the table. She got it and read it; and by that means she found I was determierd to make away with myself, and site took the same resolution, and would not he turned from it."
