STRANGE OCCUERRENCE.

Some sensation was caused in Lower Hobson-streefc yesterday afternoon by a report which gained currency to the effect fchab a woman was suffering from the effects of poison in a boarding-house. The circumstances as near as we can ascer tain are these : Late yesterday afternoon, the woman in question went to the boarding hon.se under the influence of liquor, and in a maudlin state declared that Saturday next was her birthday, and that she would not live to see it. The landlandy then ob served that she had in her hand an empty phial labelled "Poison," and concluding that she had drunk the contents, she at once sent for a doctor. In the meantime, an unopened packet of rat poison was found in the woman s pocket. Dr. Purchaa was subsequently in attendance, but found no trace or symptom of poisoning, although the woman was suffering from the effects of having been drinking. The sequel of the affair was subsequently disclosed, and proved to bo very humorous. The woman went to Mr Gilbert, chemist, yesterday, and asked for rat poison, but as she was under the influence of liquor he refused to supply her. She then declared that she must have poison of some kind, and if lie did nob give it she would procure it else where. Believingifc possible that she might succeed, Mr-Gilbert filled a phial with coloured water and labelled it poison." Sub sequent events point to the conclusion that the woman drank the contents, and believed that she had poisoned herself. Probably Mr Gilbert's expedient saved her life.
