ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A BRIDE.—.,An aged
female, who had for some time been in receipt of 30s. a
month from some fund, attempted to commit suicide at
Devonport under the following circumstances : —lt appears
that on Thursday morning she was, to the surprise of many
of her friends, united in the bonds of matrimony, and by so
doing she forfeited her monthly allowance. After the wed-
ding ceremony was concluded she was made acquaintea
with the fact, and this so preyed upon her spirits that she
took a dose of poison. Medical aid was sought, and having
been attended to, she was removed to the hospital in a cab.
