Sarah Garner deposed, that she was servant to the deceased, and had lived with her about nine years. On Tuesday about one o'clock, she heard a violent knocking at the street door, when she got up, opened her window, and saw two watchmen at the door. They called out that there were thieves in the house, and wished to come in and search it. She was going down stairs to let the watchmen in, when the deceased called to know what was the matter? She told her what the watchmen said, and the deceased went in an apparent fright to her chamber. Witness opened the door, and the watchmen searched about the premises, but could find no one, though a gentleman said he had seen a man get over the railings of the area. Witness returned up stairs, and the deceased seemed greatly frightened; she endeavoured to pacify her, but her terror was so great that she fell down on the floor, and soon became senseless. She died in three hours af ter, and her death was produced, in witness's opinion, by excessive fright.-Verdict-" Death by excessive fright.” ABERDEEN, proceedings respecting the late Anecdotes of the Fife gypsies, 14, 393.- Of Philoxenus of Cythera, 652.
