leaving his wife in bed. After being alb
sent from the room few minutes he re-
turned, when his wife asked him for a
glass of water. On handing it to her she
did not take it, and noticing there was
trouble, Mr.. Poulette struck a light, when
he found that his wife had procured a
razor in his absence and made two horrid
gashes in her neck. He gave an alarm at
once, and surgeons were sent for, but be-
fore they arrived the woman had bled
fearfully. 1t appeared that Mrs. Poulette
had first procured q common jack-knife
with which she had made deep stab in
her neck close down 10 the breast bone.
Afterwards she took a razor and cnt
twice across her throat, making an incis-
ion into the windpipe. The wounds
were properly dressed, and although she
had lost much blood and was in Ca
taleptic state, it was thought she might
recover. The case is one of pure insanity.
