She was an amiable woman

The wife of Mr. Mattyear, an eminent market gardener, residing at Fulham, county of Middlesex. Mr. M. went to London early in the morning on business, and parted from his wife on affectionate terms, and she afterwards breakfasted with her children, without showing any symptoms of a distressed or deranged mind. Immediately after breakfast the unhappy woman retired to one of the outhouses, and cut her throat in so shocking a manner, as to occasion almost instant death. About a minute or two after leaving the house she was discovered in this dreadful situation by a servant, who immediately gave an alarm, and caused medical aid to be procured, but in vain. No cause whatever can be assigned-for this horrid act. She was an amiable woman, much respected by her neighbours and friends, and beloved by her husband and children.
