ATTEIMTEI ♦T SUICIDE —Sarah Freeman, a woman of
the town, aged 28, and reeiding at No. 2, Glasshouse-
street, or buildings, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, Vk her.i
many robberies and outrages have been committed, was
brought before Mr. Yardley charged with attempting
self.•lestrcetioa.
It appeared that the prisoner, who had been drinking
freely and quarrelling with some companions of her own
class, had, after making an ineffectual attempt to throw
herself from the window of the house where she lived,
gore to the Hermitage-lock of the London Dock, in
Wapping, and after getting over the rails on to the quay,
where she raved delirious in a fearful manner, swore she
would drown herself, and gave an hysterical laugh.
She advanced towards the edge of the luay, and bef ire
Holmes, a police constable, could seize her, she plunged
into the waters of the lock which is upwards of 20 feet
in depth. The drags and grapnels were immediately
procured and thrown into the lock, and after the lapse
of a few minutes the prisoner was taken out of the water
in a perfectly insensible condition, and was recovered by
the application of friction to the body, and stimulants.
The prisoner appeared to be in a languid condition, and
to have suffered much from her immersion in the water,
and the means adopted to resuscitate her.
The prisoner made no reply to the charge. She made
an attempt to speak but was unable to do so, and it was
evident the wretched creature was suffering both men-
tally and physically.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner to the House of
Detention fur a week, and said she would be taken care
of in that prison, and the Chaplain would look after her
spiritual welfare, and he hoped would convince her that
she had committed a most rash and wicked act.
Jane King, aged 24, a married woman lof No. 1,
Greenfield, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Yard-
ley charged with being drunk and disorderly, and caus-
ing a mob to assemble in the Canal-road, Mile-end, by
attempting to throw herself into the Regent's-canal.
It appeared from the evidence of George Gray, a police-
conetaide, No. 302 K, that hi, attention was ca'led to a
disturbance at the aide of the canal, and he found the pri-
soner there in a most excited state and declaring that.
she would drown herself. He removed her and told her
to go home, which she refused to do, and continued
haranguing the mob, shouting and declaring that!' her
time was come and into the water she must go. She
made several attempts to throw herself into the water,
and he was compelled to take her into custody.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner described herself as a
married woman. The number of married women brought
before him daily for drunkenness and disorderly conduct
was perfectly shocking. He sentenced the prisoner to
seven days imprisonment.
