| Notes |
- Shocking Murders and Suicide.—A most melancholy circumstance occurred on the evening of the 10th in Southampton. Ann Staden, wife of Edward Staden, labourer, in the employ of Messrs Saunders, brewers, in fit of insanity, strangled her only two children, (both fine boys,) one seven years of age, and the other three, after which she hung herself on the cellar door. This tragical event has excited the deepest sympathy for the husband and father; who, on opening the front door of his house, was the first to discover his eldest child, Edward, a lifeless corpse the floor of the passage. Struck with horror and amazement, he flew upstairs, when, on turning down the bedclothes, he saw there his youngest child stretched out a corpse! Then, as a climax to the whole, his wife, hanging a corpse, in the cellar ! [2]
