Saturday 01 Feb 1845 (p. 2, col. 8) The wife of Joseph HORNSBY, of Friar Street, Penrith, cut her throat on the morning of Tuesday last, in a violent manner. She still (Thursday) lingers, but there is no hope whatever left of her recovery. This is about the 9th time she has attempted to destroy herself, and yet, notwithstanding this, no attempt has been made by the authorities of Penrith to get her placed in an asylum.
