SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.--Early on
Thursday evening a woman, named Chippenham, threw
herself, together with her daughter, a child about four
years old, from the Sun Pier, at Chatham, into the Med-
way. A son of Mr. Robertson, surgeon, who witnessed
the circumstance, flew to their rescue, and by his heroic
conduct was the means of preventing their being carried
away by the tide. On the bodies being brought ashore
several medical men attended, and every means was used
for their recovery, which, in the case of the child, fortu-
nately succeeded, but the mother died about two o'clock
on Friday morning. Deceased was the wife of a man
formerly in the Ro) al Marines, but now the keeper of
the Royal Marine beer-shop, close to the barracks of
that corps. Family differences are said to have led to
the rash act.
