    1. [TRIVVIES] From the Carlisle Patriot Friday, August 13th, 1880-STRANGE SUICIDE OF A GIRL

    3. Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, August 13th, 1880 STRANGE SUICIDE OF A GIRL.—Dr. DIPLOCK held an inquest at Fulham Union on the body of Eleanor Ann HAYWARD, 13. The mother of the deceased said she had occasion to correct her daughter, who then flew into a passion, and rolled on the floor. She rose, went to a shelf, took up a bottle containing carbolic acid, saying "I'll take this," and drank the contents. The bottle contained almost a pennyworth. The witness added that about a month since the deceased stole sixpence from a neighbour and the children in the neighbourhood were in the habit of tormenting her by calling out "Thief." That seemed to upset her. -- Emily Smith
