the passage to the back of the premises, when they heard
faint cries for help. Shovels and pickaxes ware soon ob-
tained, and by the great perseverance of those present, under
the direction of an inspector of the F division of police, nine
persons, males and females, were removed from under the
ruins to the surgeries in the neighbourhood; but they were
all so much more or less bruised, that it WPS found necessary
to convey three to Charing-cross Hospital, rnd the other six
to St. Giles's workhouse.

Harriett Sharpley, the unfortunate ladies who attempted to
themselves to death corsequ9nt on their being reduced
to the most abject want. The ladies had been examined
professionally by Mr. °bre, of Lisson-grove, surgeon, but
who expressed a strong conviction that, although upon some
points they were extremely obstinate in opinion and strong-
minded women, they were not insane; end he, therefore,
could not certify. Mr. Squire-, the chief surgeon of the in-
firmary, held quite a different opinion. The Misses Sharp-
ley were brought before the magistrate, and on being in-
terrogated, stated in the most reesonable manner that they
refused public charity because there was a proper channel
from which they were entitled to relief as a right, they
both declared that, when they were reduced to their very
lest resource, they themselves asked llrs. Te,ner, their
landlady, to apply to the workhous- for relief. The Magis-
trate positively refused to sibs the usual form for their re-
moval to a lunatic asylum, and they will now remain in
Marylebone workhouse, rnd be passed to their own parish,
Windsor, in due course,
