vouring to throw herself into the Thames from Waterloo-

1 a gentleman residing in the Cornwall-road, Lambeth, was
on Waterloo-bridge at half-past ten on Friday night, whero
he saw the defendant mount the balustrade, and turn her
legs over towards the water. She exclaimed, " God for-
give me," and was about to make a spring, when witness,
who was close to her, seized. her, by the arms, and dragged
her from her perilous situation. Police constable Mathews, 1
29 F, come tip and conveyed her .to the station-house, where
he fOund upon her a bottle. which had contained laudanum,
and a letter, explaining shortly, her reasons for determining to
commit suicide; and bequeathing a ring which she had on
her finger to a particular friend which she had named. She
had stated in the letter that she was in despair, and must
quit life. The cause of her despair, it appeared in evi-
dence, was the elope:ucnt of her daughter with a married
man, and her refusal to leave him and return home.
Mr. MlNsttur.t., after adinonishing Mrs. Moore, con-
signed her to the care of a respectable woman until further
steps could be taken.
