By hanging herself

By hanging herself, Miss Ann Brown, a young person of respectability, residing as companion to a lady who occupied apartments at the house of Mr. Clemson, Bell Street, Paddington. Mr. C. had occasion to go into the back-yard, when he found the privy-door fastened. He waited some time, when he began to feel alarm, and a carpenter was sent for to force the door. He perceived a ribband fastened through two light-holes, which he cut and heard something fall. Mr. Turner, a neighbour, assisted in forcing open the door, when they found the deceased lifeless. Mr. Turner conveyed her to a room in the house, and, after leaving her, Mr. C. searched her pockets and found the keys of her bureau, which he opened, and found a letter, in the hand-writing of the deceased, folded up, and hearing this inscription, “Let the world know." The inside expressed the cause of the perpetration of this rash act; which was, that a young man had forsaken her.
