On the day, previous so this melancholy af

Miss Broderick refilled at Kennington,
and frequently employed a Chairwoman to
affid in the cleaning of ~he houfr. On the
Chairwoman's being called, (he ft&ted^ that
Miss B, asked her, wrhieh she thought was
the easiest death ; that she tofaf thought
drowning was the eafiett j that her convcra

dwelt much on the circumfUnce of the
prisoner's laughing after she had fired
the piftof, and represented it as a cir
cumftauce so very common so cases of
infinity, that it had been ofton the fob
jed of theatrical representation. The
letter the learned Judge observed, was
not descriptive of an, derangement,
but was perfect, tool and tenfible;
but the words and the manner in which
she expressed herfelf to Mr. Button,

; her to take it into her own possession,
left it (hould be evidence against her,
(hewed a derangement, and a total ia
fenfibilin to any consequence that
might tefule from it.
