Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was a case of begging
without any excuse.

The Rev. W. Smith said the prisoner had been
before Mr. Knox several times, and on two occa-
sions Mr. Knox had given him (the Rev. Mr.
Smith) money to procure the prisoner clothing and
situations, and he had done so, but the prisoner
would not stay in his situation, preferring to lead
the life of a beggar. The prisoner had been in
prison for felony and several times for begging, and
nothing could be done with him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month
with hard labour.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH THE Loss OF A
CHILD.--Sarah Billow, a married woman, residing
at No. 19, James-street, Kensington-square, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to
commit suicide at the Serpentine.

Henry Smith, a young man, living at knights-
bridge, said that passing the.Serpeutine on Saturday
night he heard a voice from the water, and on going
to the Serpentine he saw the prison er lying on her
face in the water. He took her oat, and hearing
her say something about a child, he looked into the
water to see whether there was any child there, but
could not see one, and directly afterwards the pri-
soner said that the child had been dead a month.

Mr. Tyrwhitt sad the young-mail had acted very

properly.

The husbancle of the prisoner stem )el forward and
said that the child was a grandchild, and that ever
since its death his wife had fretted very much, and
her mind had become affected.

The prisoner said that her husband had had some
words with her daughter, and told lier to pack up
her things and leave the house, and ,she went after
her daughter, feeling it was her duty to go where
her daughter went. Sie did not Ithiuk she could
have been in her right mind or she w ould not have
gone to the water, as she had a dread. of it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt seeing the excited condition of the
prisoner said the best thing would b to remand her
to a place where she would be taken care of.
The prisoner here became stilt more excited,
calling out " Don't send me to priqou. I shall go
mad. I shall go mad." With some difficulty the
prisoner was removed from the court, the magis-
trate giving directions th it she ;should be carefully
looked after.
