EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ATTEMPTED STARVATION.
—On Wednesday night, shortly after 9 o'clock, as John
Falling, police constable, 241 M., was proceeding up
King's-place, opposite the Southwark Police-court,
Stones-end, Borough, he heard some one groan in one of
the uninhabited houses near the end of the place. He
listened for a few moments, and being satisfied that tome
person was in great distress in the upper part of the build-
ing, he procured a ladder, and gained an entrance into the
loft, formerly occupied by Mr. Simpson, the extensive
ginger beer and soda water manufacturer. Having opened
his lanthorn, he was horrified at perceiving an aged female
huddled up in a corner, covered with rags, and a small
quantity of straw, and in a complete state of exhaustion.
He instantly descended from the place, and procured the
assistance of another constable, when they removed the
