Some Selected Reports from The Windsor and Eton Express
22nd March 1834
A woman named Fair, residing in Peascod-street, swallowed a quantity of laudanum on Wednesday last with the intent to destroy herself,
but the act having, fortunately, been discovered, a surgeon was instantly sent for and the poisonous drug removed by the means of the stomach pump.
The poor woman, although she has suffered for her rashness is now considered out of danger.
At the Monthly Meeting of the Buckinghamshire Magistrates, held at the Christopher Inn, Eton, on Wednesday last, a man named Chipps was committed to hard labour,
in Aylesbury gaol, for one calendar month, on the complaint of his master, Mr. Piner, a farmer at Fulmar, for misbehaving himself in his service,
by getting drunk whilst out with the team. A woman named Charlotte Finch was also committed to the above gaol for twenty-one days,
on the complaint of Mr. Stanbrook, governor of Langley workhouse, for coming home intoxicated a few days before.
