SHOCKING AFFAIR.—A vessel has just ar-
rived at Leith, from a foreign station, having lost a boy at
sea under the following painful circumstances. The boy,
for some misdemeanour, real or supposed, had, it appears,
been severely flogged ; and on being released, either from
terror of further punishment, or indignant at the disgrace,
he leaped overboard, and immediately went down. We
hope this case will be investigated..—Caledonian Mercury.
A WOMAN STRANGLED BY TIER BONNET
STRINGS.—An extremely dissipated, drunken, and disor-
derly woman of the name of Elizabeth Kenchen, met her
death on Wednesday night last in the following novel
manner :—She had been all day drinking gin, and at night
went to bed intoxicated. It appears that she went to bed
in her bonnet, but that in that unrest which intoxication
often creates she fell out of bed, and her bonnet becoming
fastened between the bed-stead, or bed-post and the wall,
she was so drunk as not to be able to unloose the strings,
gind was in consequence strangled.
