UNION HAL L.

Elizabeth Briggs, a good looking young female, was
charged with having attempted to destroy herself. A
P'
iliceman of the R Division, who hail been watching the
young woman along the banks of the Surrey Canal, rushed
forward from his hiding-place, and caught hold of her as
she was about jumping into the canal. The following
paper was found in her bonnet, which she had placed on
the ground—" Whoever finds this paper will, if they take
the trouble, find my body also in the canal. lam an
unfortunate outcast from all society, by my own miscon-
duct. My name is Elizabeth Briggs, and if any person
takes the trouble of inquiring after so unfortunate a per-
son, they will hear some part of my sad history at No.
52, Lie-need Victuallers' Asylum, in the Kent road. My
poor mother—my brain burns—thank God, there is no
child left behind to deplore the loss f its parent.
(Signed) ELIZABETH BRIGGS."
It appeared that she was the daughter of a licensed vic-
tualler and had been seduced.

Mr. CHAmazas said there was a great want of females
in the Cobmies, and a girl of her appearance would soon
get a hu-band.

The young woman said she would be thankful to be
sent away from this country, where she knew nothing
but misery.

Mr. CHAMBERS gave some din.ctions that she :nigh
be enabled to carry her wish into effect.
