ISUICID6 al • CELL —During the petty utieloll6. on
Friday, considereble excitement was caused in the Court
by nee of the policemen hurrying in and calling out the
Deputy Chief Cenobitic, and several of the staff, and also
Mr. Parkinson, the surgeon. This arose from an attempt
baying been made by • prisoner in custody in the cells to
commit suicide by banging bunsellf. Fortunately, assist-
▪ was so soon at hand that his attempt was frustrated,
ghsegh he remained in an alaripiag condition. The
verses was Henry Williani Brine, formerly residing
at Twrant Crawford Fenn, who was apprehended on a
warrant for using threatening language towards his
brother, Richard friend Brine, of Gummy St. Michael,
at avows times within the past two months, at Geneses,
and alas at Fresteeeum-erawford, whereby he was put in

Incensedboth against Ids brother and his wife, and
the followed the latter on bOrseirack with the inten-
tion, it would appear,.( shooting her. He did not, how-
ever, /tiered in overtaking her, and he Shen rent to his
brother's house at Guards, keying on him a sixclber
revolver. This his brother sierdeded in wresting nnu
hint. Ile 14011 after returned to lbswford, the arm
hawing been token by Mr. Drake Nu,., and managed,
unobserved, to est into the house, and was found in
• bed with a double-barreUed gun loaded, and with Den
additional cape by his side. There is no doubt but that
kis mind has IMell deranged for some time, and • rertiti-
.osits signed by two medical loss, was put in, upon which
this Magistrates made an order Isr his removal, as soon as
lie was sufficiently recovered, to en Asylum. Mr. Parkinson
enolled that in the interim he should lw removed from
the Ils to an inn, and this was at once acceded to
by the Mach.
