Death of a Woman Unknown.

About 5 weeks ago a fine looking middle aged woman went into the "Union Flag" public house, Chatham, and inquired of the landlady, Mrs. Ward, if she could have a lodging. The answer was in the affirmative.

On Thursday morning last she gave birth to a full-grown female child. She seemed to be doing very well, and every comfort and attention was paid to her by the landlady that the circumstances of her case required; she however complained of pains in her back, and the landlady procured some medicine for her.

On Tuesday morning she went into a fit and instantly expired.

To a question which had been put to her by the landlady as to who she was and what was her name, she said she would not tell anyone; but be impressed she said her father's name was Ray, and was a captain of a collier in Cornwall, and she had a sister living in London.

After her death her boxes were searched and some letters were found, from her lover, whose name appears to be John Bullock, a private in the 56th company of the Royal Marines, and who is on board her Majesty's Ship Winchester, dated Portsen. In one of Bullock's letters it stated that if she (the deceased) would apply to his uncle, Mr. William Hay, Little Ponton, near Newark, Lincolnshire, she would be well-received - dated July 17th, 1839.

The marine directed his letters to Louisa Robinson, "Little George," Chatham, a public house. The poor woman was buried on Wednesday, in Chatham churchyard. The child is doing well, and is placed in the Union.
