SUICIDE. '!'his morning, about half-past
seven o'clock, as Sergeant Godfrey of the Ndivision, was
passing the Adam and Eve public-house, Hoxton Old
Town, IL.. Davis, landlord of the house next door, in-
formed him that a female was hanging ih the skittle-
ground at the back of the Adam and Eve. He at once
proceeded to the spot through Mr. Davis's premiSes, and
discovered her suspended by 'a rope to the rafter. He
promptly cut her down and alarmed Mr. Holloway, the
proprietor of the Adam and Eve, who observed that the
unfortunate young woman was his own niece. Mr.
Coward, a surgeon of the neighbourhood, was sent for,
who stated that she had been dead some hours. She had
struggled much, as her mouth and hands -were smeared
wia-bloOd. The act was most determined, as she
had placed the rope twice round the beam and twice
round her throat. She had provided herself with a-chair
to effect her purpose, and previous to doing the dreadful
act, she put out the candle, by putting the lighted wick
in the socket. She was only seventeen years of age. It
is stated that a love attachment was the cause. The ob-
ject of her affection was a young man in the country, but
she was removed from there a few weeks ago by her
friends; who are most respectable, with the intention of
breaking off the connexion.
