PETERSFIELD.
At the WANDSWORTH POLICE COURT, on Saturday, ANNIE WALTERS, a young married woman, who gave the address of Westmeon, Petersfield, was charged with attempting to drown herself. Police-constable Wilson, No.241 V., said that on the previous night he was on duty on Wandsworth-common, when he heard the cries of a woman for help. He hastened to a piece of water called the ‟Black Sea,” where he found the prisoner. She was reclining in the water with her left arm and head above the surface. He went into the water and brought her to the bank, when she appeared to be getting exhausted. He remained with her for a few minutes, when he took her to the station. She told him it was on account of her husband, and she meant to drown herself. In reply to the magistrate, the constable said she could not have been resting on her arm, as the water was up to his breast. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she should like to speak when she more composed. Mr. Dayman remanded her for a week.
