Gelman ()Ricer, belonging to • ship which was lying sad'
Graven-oil fur upwards of a week, Wand fur North America,
went to. inquire for lodgings in the New Road, Gravesend,
and the poson oho kept them oat agreeing in let them at
the terms he offered, he weal away, bat in a short time re.
. turned and offered more, which being accepted be took pos.
siessleo of his apartineuts immediately. All the evening be
appeared very restless, cud was continually going is and oat
Jolt he room. The mistress of the house ibtmeting he intended
lu rob 111 f as she takes in washing, she therefore locked her
things op at night sod went to bed, hat was unable to
sleep. lot she noddle of the night hearitig him move about,
she dressed herself, wrist down to his room door, and silted
him if he wanted Nosy thing; he raid he wanted some water;
she told him there was some in his room ; he said he could
riot get at it as he bad dune something 11101 could not get so
far, but would take the key and posh it ander the dour,
by which means she let herself in. On enteriag sine saw
him sitting on the bed will • dagger in his head, he had
stabbed himself in three or four places. He said, ° Look
