Adrriarrvau SVICIDE —Ross Hunt, sged 19, was brought
Worn Alderman Clibbo, on a chug* of having .ttempted to
comma: salt-destruction.

It appeared that the unfortunate creature bad been for
four yeses living a wretched life of prostitution in the eastern
parts of London. Her binary is a very deplorable one,
and presents • melancholy example of the way in which the
streets of London ate replenished with victims.
Rota Hunt states (as the Rev Wm. Cohen, the enlightened
chaplain of Oiltspur-s.reet prison, observed to the alderman)
that she is the daughter of a penes who once kept a re-
spectable inn is a county town, but who, by various leases,
has become so reduced as to be now dependent upon paro-
chial relief. About 4 years ago, when only 15 years of age,
the defrodant met a young woman at a fair in Suffolk, who
eodeavoured to win her goofideoett, and afterwards abused
lit for the very worst purposes. By means of this female she
was istrocueed into a house of ill-fame, seduced, and
eventually brought by her to London. She was taken to a
low court room in Tower./ ill, and kit to a course of pros-
titution amongst the lowest class of the • steroids district.
About 91nos ha ago, as site wandered about one Sunday after-
room, she sew the door of • chapel open, and went in to re t
What she there heard of mercy for the vilest sinners, made
such an impression as to render her mot unhappy under
the course of life site had been pursuing. At last, existence
became intolerable, and she resolved to put an 4[4 to it.
The poor unhappy girl said she had bed frequent conversa-
tion with the chaplain since her life was saved, and that she
abet vly lamented the horrible attempt she bad made to get
riot of her misery by a deeper plunge. She informed the
alderman that the woman who caused her ruin was at
pet sent in the City of Norwich, punning the same course
with other poor thoughtless girls.
Alderman Gibbs—l have been told by the chaplain that
you are truly pinkest, and that you detest the life you have
been lesdiog.
The defendant—l would prefer death at this instant.
Alderman Gibbe—V.ry well. You shall be protected. I
shall refer you to the Ladies' Patronage Committee, with a
view to year reception into the Elisabeth Fry Refuge for
the present. I trust it will be stated in the newspapers, that
the wretch who was the cause of all this calamity is now at
Norwich, engaged in the same dreadful traffic of seduction.
The defendant—May God /doss you for saving me.
