She was taken into witness's house. After having administered such medicines as were calculated to afford relief, she was removed by her friends to Castle-street, where he attended her. She confessed-to Lim that she had purchased two ounces of oxalic acid, and had taken about one. The remainder was found in her reticule.— Understood from her that she was enceinte, and in consequence of that a dispute had originated between her and her relations, which led to the fatal act.  James White, Edgeware-road, about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, saw the deceased in a dejected state in Cumberland-street, crying. As he was going home to his dinner, about twenty minutes before two o'clock, he saw her. again in Seymourplace, still crying. He passed on, and having had his dinner, on MS return was attracted by a crowd at Mr. Campbell's door. Upon going to the spot, he. saw it was the same young woman he had seen before; she was taken into Mr. Campbell's shop, where medicines were administered, but she seemed then in a dying state.  A Juror—Pray, Mr. Campbell, how far do you suppose the deceased was advanced in pregnancy ? Mr. Campbell—As far as I can judge, about six months; the paper containing the remainder of the oxalic acid was distirictly marked " poison."

She quitted her place on Friday last, as he understood, with a view to better herself:o She had no father or mother, and came to his house until she could procure another situation. Witness's wife was the deceased's sister : they.were not aware Of her situation until after breakfast on Tuesday morning, when witness's Wife taxed her with it; she confessed the filet, and named a young man who worked for Mr. Husband. Some high words ensued, and deceased shortly afterwards quitted the house. About four o'clock in the afternoon of the sane day he received information of the state in which the deceased had been found,; and witness's wife wentlimmediately to her. She was brought to witness's house; and from thence was removed to the Hospital. Juror,--Did the deceased quit the house in the height of passion, without taking her clothes ? Witness—Yes, she did.  , The Jury, having viewed the body of the unfortunate young woman, after a short deliberation returned a verdict of "'Temporary mental derangement."
