ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A GIRL.
[BY TELEGRATIi. —PRESS ASSOCIATION".] TiMARr, Thursday. At the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, a girl under 15 years of age, named Harris, was charged with attempting euicide by drinking carbolic oil. She explained that her parents had been behaving harshly to her for admitted misconduct, and she drank the stuff to give them a fright. When asked if she would behave hotter in future she made no reply, but to another question said she had no idea of taking another dose if her father behaves as he ought, to. Her alternative would be leaving bonie. Captain Wray, who was on the Bench, advised her to go home and be a better girl, and dismissed the information.
