Beccles Paper 16 Jul 

STRANGE BEHAVIOUR - Some excitement was occasioned amongst the inhabitants of Newgate
Street on Wednesday evening, by the strange behaviour of a young woman named Kate Simmonds.  
Between eight and nine o’clock Simmonds declared she would drown herself, and ran down  
Ravensmere in the direction of the river, followed by a small crowd. Some of her friends and  
neighbours tried to persuade her to act like a rational creature, but she implored them to leave her
alone, that she might drown herself, and finally her well-wishers were obliged to use physical  
violence to take her home. It is thought the woman was mad drunk.
