HAMMERSMITH.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE B'
A FRENCH WOMAN.—Madelene Mohise, aged 29,
who was described as a native of Paris, with no fised
residence and in no occupation, was brought
before Mr. Dayman on remand, charged with at-
tempting to drown herself in the Grand Junction
Canal.
It appeared that on the evening of Friday, the
7th inst, the prisoner threw herself into the water
from the towing path at Kensal- green, but she was
fortunately rescued in time and taken to Paddington
workhouse, in the Harrow-road. She was unable
to speak a word in English, and after she had been
remanded it transpired that she came from France
with the intention of obtaining a situation, but los-
ing her passport and certificate of character, she was
unable to succeed, and she was reducei to starvation,
and she thought to end her misery by drovning. The
chaplain of the House of Detention kindly intere
withsted
himself in her behalf, and communicated
Fleury, the Consul-General for France, and he wrote
to Paris for a confirmation of the prisoner's
M.
ate-
ment. She was remanded a second time for an
answer from Paris, and yesterday Mr. Dayman 70'
ceived another letter from the chaplain, enclosing;
one frem M. Fleury, and also a certificate of charac-
ter fer the prisoner. M. Fleury's letter was to the
effect that the answer he had received from the gen-
tleman at whose house she was living on the 26th of
January, was, that he had nothing to say against
her, and that he hoped it would be a lesson to her,
He enclosed a certificate of character, in case she
was willing to look for a situation in London, M-
Fleury, in his letter, solicited the chaplain to speak
in her behalf, and, in the event of her being dis-
charged, her travelling expenses to Paris were to be
paid, if she wished to return ; or, if she wished
.to
obtain employment in London, ahe would rec,elllo
pecuniary assistance.
Mr. Dayman waited until four o'clock, before be
dealt with the prisoner, in expectation that some
person from the Consulate Office would attend to
take charge of her. However, no person came
and, as it appeared that the offices of the
Consulate closed at four o'clock, Sergeant
Warren, of the D Division, was directed to take her
to the Paddington Workhouse for the night, and to
take her to the Consul's office in the morning.
The prisoner, who appeared very poorly attired,
then left the court in the company of the officer.
