A FATAL CHARIVARI.

The Prince Albert charivari, which
took place last week, and resulted
fatally, may appropriately enough be
utilised 10 call attention 10 the stupid
practice which, under tho guise of
harmless fun, has caused the death Of

AWKWARD PRE94CAMENT OF LAND-LADY.-
About II o'clock on Friday night, P. c. Stot-
hard, who was on duty in Berwick street,
Sun lerland, called to public house, the land
lady being in an awkward predicament. 1t
appears that the hostess and her spouse had
been quarrellng IN an upstairs room, and
threatening to commit suicide, she, raised the
window and jAmped out. Herhnsband caught
her by the dress just as she got outside, and
prevented her from falling, but the heavy
weight of his better half rendered it impossi-
BILE to drag hers back again. The officer on
the beat was summoned, bat the united
strength ofthe two men was unable to pull
her up. The distance to the ground was
about fifteen feet, and to let her go would
probably Involve aAbroken limb. There the
young landlady hung suspended, like Moham-
med's coffin, betwixt heaven and earrA, un-
able to go backward, and afraid to drop. A.
last two feather beds were brought out, and
the woman was allowed to fall, alighting with
out any damage, and probably deferred by
her fright from attempting another leap of the
same kind.
