It appeared that the deceased, who was a very disorderly character, addicted to thinking and various other vices, was allowed a weekly sum by her husband, but not sufficient to gratify her passion for ardent spirits. She hail been lately liberated from pris,m, and since then annoyed the husband very much for money, and not succeeding in draining the poor man of every penny, she attempted to destroy herself by taking laudanum, and ultimately, by way of rendering him comfortless, and `Ting revenged of him for his firmness in resisting her sitmands, she avowed her determination to drown herself in his presence. For this purpose she went on :Monday night, while in liquor, to his watch-box on the quay : there having abused him, she deliberately pulled off her shawl and bonnet, and having exclaimed " You barbarous wretch, my spirit shall haunt you," she plunged into tl.e lock. The poor man gave an alarm, but before proper assistance could be obtained to rescue her, st.e was drowned. The Jury returned a verdict —That the deceased committed suicide while in a state of derangement brought on by excessive drinking.
