SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN CHELSEA. —About 5
o'clock yesterday morning Mn. Sadler, late barmaid to
Mr. Brookbank, licensed victualler, and renter of several
large taverns in the metropolis, attempted self-murder by
severing her head nearl from her body. Pink Sadler
had recently married, and her employer had placed her
with her husband as manarress of the Roebuck Tavern,
Leader-street, Chelsea, which they only opened last Satur-
day. The excitement of the time, it is feared, was too
much for the unfortunate woman's nerves, and, getting
out of bed yesterday morning, she seized her husband's
razor, and inflicted a deep gash in her throat. The has
band, as may be imagined, was horrified on discovering the
fact. Dr. Wrench being called in, be had the sufferer
removed to St. George's Hospital in a cab, and on the way
the poor creature attempted to reopen the wound closed
by the surpon. No hope is held out of her recovery.
WHAT IS AN INCUR/MANCE I—The matter was
discussed by the Chester board of guardians last week.
The board advertised fora porter " without incumbrance,"
and when the applications came in a member asked what
an incumbrance was. Of course there were present those
who were ungallant enough to say " wives !" But here subtle
distinctions were made between wive' with families and
wives without. Mr. Weaver thought • " good wife one of
Sits greatest blessings a man had upon earth "—a speech
which was received with laughter. The Rev. G. Salt solved
the difficulty by calling incumbrancee " wives who were
dependent on a maa." Mr. Wadley suggested that a
4
I tooth er dependink ona man for support might be deemed
an incumbrance, • statement that was received with a
chorus of " noes."
