Thursday morning,_ a few minutes after eight o'clock,
the family. of Arthur Gaywood, Esq., a gentleman residing
at Triesta Cottage, New North-road, Holloway, were
thrown into the utmost excitement and affliction, by their
eldest (laughter, Miss Amelia Gaywood, having attempted
to put a period to her existence, by discharging a loaded
pistol at her head. It appears that the unfortunate young
lady slept in the adjoining bed-room to her parents. At the
above mentioned hour, hearinr, a loud report of fire-arms,
Mr. G. burst the door open, when he discovered his unfor-
tunate daughter lying on the bed-side carpet, with a pistol
in her hand, in a state of insensibility, the ball having passed
the head of the furniture of her bed, and lodged in the
ceiling ; it is supposed from the great state of trepidation,
41 which she was, that she could net direct the deadly
weapon to her head, which prevented her receiving any in-
jury. The only cause that can possibly be assigned for the
committal of tip rash net, is the sudden departure of a.
young gantioinan for India, to whom she was ardently and
iaaWouate4 attached.
