From the Kentish Chronicle, 14 May, 1864.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Last week a man named Graham, a chimney sweep, jumped into the river Stour, near Mr. Cannon’s mill, Canterbury. He had previously expressed his intention to drown himself, and he would doubtless, have accomplished his object had not one of Mr. Cannon’s sons jumped in after him. Other assistance was at hand and the intended suicide was rescued but not till he had been in the water some time. He was subsequently removed to the Workhouse, where he has since remained under the care of Mr. Callaway, surgeon. Graham had been drinking for a week continuously.
