The police are satisfied that the body of a woman found on October ioth, in’Wroxall Woods, at Goring, in Oxfordshire, is that of a Sydney lady who disappeared in May, during a state of depression, owing, it is alleged, to the stoppage of her allowance. A relation identified a goldstudded hair comb, and two lady acquaintances identified a silver buckle and the clothes on the remains. Death is attributed to an overdose of morphia. A hyperderraic syringe was found on the body. The Daily Mail states that the body is that of Mrs Dolly Scott Harden, who is reported to have been the wife ot a Sydney solicitor. A friend of her’s says she has tried, but failed, to earn a living by her pen or on the stage, and took morphia to relieve acute neuralgia. Another friend received a letter from her on May 9th, stating that she intended to commit suicide, as she was terribly pressed, and reluctant to live upon her friends’charity.
