SANDBANIC.S.— What appears to have been a deliberate attempt to commit suicide took place at the Sandbanks on Saturday evening. Finals Ltrownen, aged 28, of Christchurch, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Jolhiffe & Flint, Dornmemouth, attended the office on Saturday moriiiiug, but walked down to the Sandbanks at about 11 a.in., and met with two luau DalliPti White and Coombs. He had some drink with them in the Haven Hotel, and appeared to have taken away a bottle containing some spirits, in his pocket. During the afternoon he was asleep in a hut belonging to Whit.?, at the Sandbanks, being there until five o'clock in the evening. When he went into the hut to go to sleep one of the men took a razor outof his pocket and put it away, but when he was aroused at five o'clock the veil back to hon. About nine  ! o'clock in the evening it was promised that all three should go on to Poole, but owiug to some dispute Coombs and Drownen walked on together. When they had got about half-a-mile on the road, Brownen said he should not go iuto Poole and turned back towards the Sandbanks. Just before four o'clock on Sunday morning, Browuen appeared at the Coaotguard station applying for assistance. He was taken in, and Dr. Philpetts, of Parkstone, sent for. Supt. Mains was telephoned. Tiie moon,- Well; angi oardnzpd a wound in the throat, whilst Supt. Hains took steps to get Brownen removed to the Cornelia Ha.pisal. Later in the morning he was removed to that institution and Dr. McNeil treated him, lie was suffering from a nasty wound its the throat, the windpipe Leine severed. It is conjectured that the 111.0 returned to the Sandbanks, cut his throat, and laid down on the sands. At any rate, he must have remained there until the tide saine and washed over Mai and aroused him to his senses, for his clothes were very wet. The coastguard station is nearly from the place where he is supposed to have attempted to take his hie. The wound is .healing, and there is every prospect tilos he will iecover. He refrains from speakuog of the act he has been guilty of, though he is very buoyant in spirits. Remarks wade by him tend to show that his mind is affected just now, and that absolute quiet and rest are needed to ensure a complete recovery.
