are administered to the convicts by the hands of the
night watchmen, men whom they never see, lest they
should harbour • feeling of vengeance against the men
who had inflicted the punishment, and attempt some
day to revenge their sufferings, though deserved. The
doctor stands by at the time, noting what the culprit

unable to bear mare at that time. in Englemd the
authorities are more merciful than in Russia, where it

WTR E REGIS.
CAZITION TO DROISKLIOD6.— Another great sensation
wee created In Wyke on Saturday last, by • report that
• lIIIIM bad poisoned himself. Dr. Simeon was sent for,
and, after the treatment proper for such eases, all
Unger of the man's dying was declared to have past. It
appears, on enquiry, that this person. whom mune we
conceal in hopes he will emend his ways, is not unfre-
qcently "on the soak," and on Saturday be got into
mob • low state that ho declared be would poison him. '
solf. Shortly after, bed symptoms mum on, and the
neighbours feared be bed done it indeed, acid sent for
the doctor. That gentleman did not believe way poison
had be, u taken, except the commou one—aloolaol, but
, took the promotion to give • poeceful emetic. The
1 nasty drench brought the drunken fellow into • most
unpleasant state, to which common les-sickness would
he • trifle. and about& quart of strong drink, 'wallowed
before the time when the poison was said to be taken,
was got rid of. Y.S. Pitfielel was on the look-out, to
arrest the fellow, m we suppose, for the attempt at
suicide, but he was punished enough In the winking of
the powerful medicine and the oonWmpt of those mound.
end we should hope will never venture on such • trick
again.

SUICIDE FROII GRIEF AND LONELINESS.
The inhabitants of Wyke Regis were deeply widened
on Thursdsy last, on finding that Mrs. Elisabeth
Whitby, wife of a wok on board the Achilles, and who
bee been in a melancholy frame of triind for months
peek bad succeeded in destroying herself In • most
determinod way. The facts will be ptbered from the
evidence at the inquest. This took places! sin o'clock
in the evening at the Sun Inn, before H. Lock, Esq.,
deputy-coroner, and • jury of whom Mr. Wm. Barbidge

was foreman.
William Lovell. • carpenter, said he was nephew of
deceased. That morning he went into the house where
she lived, about eight o'clock, and she appeared to be
very well, and talked reasonably. lie stayed about five
minutes, and left her with her little boy. She was
getting breakfast. and her other boy was upstairs.
About eleven be went again. bat found the front door
locked. lie went round to the back door, which was
unlocked, awl went in. Not seeing lits aunt down-
stairs, he called oat at the foot of the stairs, lie
received no answer, buil went to his work again. At
twelve o'clock he went :titan. The front door was still
locked, and the key inside. This made Lint afraid
something was the matt. r. and he went down again,
and called at Mr. Edwards'is for • ladder. This being
lent, he went op to the bedroom window and looked in,
end saw doces,edi hanging to the will by • rope. On
this he went down and told Id:. Edwards, who was at
the foot of the ladder, and went to call lrs, Talbot, his
mistress, She borrowed ft knife of Mr. Edwards, and
when they had gone up and burst i.pen the door, Mrs.
Talbot out the rope, but deceased was onite dead. She
had been living in the same house ILI witness for tWo or
three days, end on Wednselay night et:reeved to the
Louse where the event cmourreil. Deceased had been
about two months in the workhouse and was taken
from there on Monday last. On Tu. ;lay Idle wined
in a sery 'twilit° slate. and talked and worked well all
day; hot on Wednesday morning she was sullen and
low, and did not seem to care abent wark till she was
ai.ked. She had beer: living at Weymouth with her
snottier, before she went into the workhouse. Witness
did not know of his own knowledge that she had
attempted before to destroy herself ; but had heard so,
and had seen her put her bands behind her ueek, and
apparently try to strangle herself.
William Edwards said deceased went into his house
three times that morning, after ten o'cloek, to ask time
time. After that he did not WO her again, till the was
feund In her room dead. She scorned vet y well, and
told his wife ohs hoped she should be better.
Anthoey Whitby, cook on bortrd the Achilles. and
husband of deceased, said his wife was In lieland in
June last, at a pier* en the Shannon, called Toyno. She
Was there confined, and the child dicd when forr days
old. At that time witness was at home; but be kit
about •we kilter. The lows of the child appeared to
press heavily on Ler mind; Wituese was away six
weeks, widen his return found her not so well. There
WY
nothing the matter with her beyond being nervous
and low-spirited. The loss of her child and being so
much alone were the imolo nausea of her affliotion.
Shortly afterwards he brought her to England, and she
lived at Weymouth with her mother and aiaterdn-law,
while witness was at Portamouth. She became worse,
and he was sent for, and put her into the Union, and
be
went before the Beard of Guardians, and had to pay so
much per week for her maiatenatme. flis sister told
him that she had attempted to strangle herself. and be
noticed that she was very strange aud low, and very
different from what she used to be. Hs came down
again about three weeks ego, and saw Dr. Griffin. who
said she was not in her right mind, and ought to go
where she °paid be taken care of. This was before she
was put in. When she had been in the house • fort-
night or three weeks, he sew her stain, and thought
she was getting Letter. At different times since he saw
her, and she wished to emus out, and on Monday
teat he took her nut.
Dr. Reginald Filigrees Simpson said he was* medical
officer of the Wevmouth Union. Resew deceased first
on her admiesion to the workhouse, on August 17. She
had been takeu into the house tori months trial, pre.
dons to being sent to an asylum. She was suffering
from great depression of spirits, and melancholy; but
began at once to improve, becoming more cheerful,
talking with the other patients, and busying with sew-
ing. and other employment. For • month she improved,
rind was put to herder work, which she most cheerfully
performed. Then she had rare of • ward under the
nurse, end performed her deities very well. She answered
all questions in a perfectly rational manner, and he
promised that if she sontinued improving, she should go
oat in • fortnight. She never, to his knowledge,
showed any symptom, of • suieridal tendency. He
had dot seen her since her removal that morning.
The Jury retuned • verdict of "Temporary
Insanity."
The Coroner expressed an opinion that it was not the
proper course to reeeive lunatic patients into a Union
Workhouse. At an asylum everything was provided
for their treatment, and that was the proper place to
send them to. Dr. Simpson and the Jury, however,
agreed that before sending pauper lunatics to an
asylum, it was the rule to send them on trial to the
workhouse.

RADIPOLE.
Devrfl THEOCGH THZ ?nth WATZ."—k good
lady in this village, no doubt well known for her
prudenee and forethought, ha been very much die.
ruched by the gossip about the "tidal wave."
Varions heights were sarigned to the ooming
intim of melt water, and one prophecy curiously enough
flied it at the height of the church tower. This good
dame believed • part of the story, and, allowing for
e]uiggeretion, settled it in her mind that the tide would
enter the ground floor of hor house, but not ins 1,10
upstairs. A good pig wed snoring in the sty. and her
thoughts were directed to her supply of winter bacon.
Provoking enough it would be to have that turned into
carrion, if not to "food for the fishea," and cc, although
the grunter was scarcely fat enough for the knife, the
good dame, considering that half-a-pig is better thin.
DO pork, had the animal killed last week, so that when
the water came in, she might remove the bacon upstairs
where she rightly judged it would be too close quarters
for the family and • living pig.
