On Friday night last a Thames police-constable
named Richard Lane was on duty on the river in
a boat off Pelictu-stalra, Shadwell, and heard a
splash it the water followed by a scream. "There
is a woman overboard," exclaimed the constable.
to the other men in the boat, " Give way my boys," and
they polled as hard as they were able towards the spot,
where they saw the prisoner in the water. She disappeared,
rose again, and Lane at mice jumped overboard and kept
her afloat until the other constables in the boat managed
to laylhold of her sod brought her ashore. She was im-
mediately reknit° the Wapping statics of the Thames police
and stripped. A surgeon was called in, and perseveriog effort*
made to restore her, which proved sowiessful. Whet she
was restored to a state of consolossuess, she was asked why
she made the r 'eh attempt on her life, to which she made
no sayer. On the first esemioation of the prisoner, on
Saturday, she said sbe was a tiller-sea, and had been treated
with liquor by a friend. She lost her pewee, end did not
know wiry she came to do such a wicked thing. She was
very sorry, and would not repent the attempt os her life.
Lano said the prisoner was certainly intoxicated, and
I smelt very strongly et liquor when she was resuscitated.
° He had some difficulty in saying her.
Mr. Partridge said that a majority of the many
attempts at self-destruction by females from the
swivel-bridges of the docks, from the cartels, and it the
river, had been committed seder the influence of drink,
and it was a very shacking state of thine'. He remanded
the prisoner until Monday. The oonstable fano hod acted
I with math bravery, and to him the woman was inaleht-d
for her life. He should award lase 6s. from the poor-
box feed. None other was available from which he could
award him a gratuity for his galiantry.
This morning oa the prisoner being again brought up she
appeared to be quits recovered from her recent numeition
it the letter, and was very penitent. She bad behaved well
• in prison and profited by the instructions and admositien
of the chaplain. She made a solemn promise to the magis-
trate not to repeat the attempt on her life, and was dia-
lcharged.
