EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
An extraordinary case of loss of memory occurred the other day at South Melbourne. Two ladies walking in Park street saw a well dressed lady leaning against a fence with her hand up to her forehead. The ladies questioned her, and as Jier replies revealed entire ignorance of her identity and surroundings, as well as great mental distress, they took her to the nearest shop, and communicated with the police. A constable conveyed her by tram t.o the local watch house, where she was again interrogated without ayail. The unfortunate ladj, complaining of agonising pains in her head and chest, walked about the room wringing her hands and piteously entreating to be told who she was. She fainted, and after some time she slowly came back to consciousness. As her eyes fell on plain clothes constable Cobbledick, who had just come in, she gave a start of surprise. It. afterwards transpired that she was acquainted with that officer, and the sight of him was the first thing that recalled her to herself. Gradually her memory came back and she remembered coming to South Melbourne to see her sister there, but her mind was a blank as to her subsequent movements.
