Hospital at 9 o'clock last night of Mrs. Hetty Simpson, who was admitted to that institution on May 30 suffering from shock and scalding. On the morning of that day a neighbour of the deceased lady, Mrs. Yates, heard what she took to be sounds of suffering, and npon making investigations found Mrs. Simpson lying on the pathway of her garden badly scalded by boiling water, which she had apparently drawn from a hot spring in the garden. Mrs. Simpson was subject to fits, and it is surmised that she was overcome by one of these attacks while carrying the water. She was taken immediately to the hospital, and remained there in a serious condition until the time of her death. She is survived by her husband, but leaves no family.
