PINOT-11R ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CHEMIST'S SHOP.
limey Bali, 19, a young man of respectable
appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of
laudanum, at the shop of Mr. Rackham, chemist and
druggi,t, 119, Lower-marvh, Lambeth.
Mr. Rackham said that the previous afternoon, about
3 o'clock, the prisoner came into his shop and re-
quested to be supplied with some laudanum, handing him
a small phial to put it in. Re said he required
it for the tooth ache. Witness only gave him a drachm,
the largest quantity allowed by law, and as soon as he
placed it on the counter, and asked for the money, he
snatched it up, pulled out the cork, and got it to his
mouth. There was a female in the shop, and witness
called on her to prevent him from swallowingit. He was,
however, too quick for them, and swallowed the greatest
portion. lie then called in a constable and gave him into
custody.
In answer to the magistrate, witness said he put sixty
drops in the bottle, and if prisoner had swallowed the
whole of it, it would ive sent him to sleep, and might have
injured him.
The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he intended to
do when he swallowed the laudanum.

He replied that he did not know. He came from Coven-
try about a mouth ago to look for work, and was unable
to find uuy.
The Magistrate remanded the prisoner for a few days to
enable the countable to make inquiries about him.
