CORONERS' ZNVIZS'i S. POISONINi3.— DR CAUootsTION, TO CHEMISTS, • wrsate. An Inquest was held yesterday morning upon the body of Joseph Redworth, aged one year, the son of Mr. Red worth, baker of Mitcham-street , Padding ton,. who died ' from the accidental administration of a solution of arsenic, which was sold by mistake for Godire)'s Cordial. Mr. North, surgeon, Molyneuz-street, Edgeware road, who opened the body, in the course of his evi dence, deprecated in the strongest terms the impro per use of Godfrey's Cordial, Dalby'a Carminative, Syrup of Poppies, or other sleeping potions. He stated that the mischievous consequences arising from the abuse of such medicines was incredible ; and that medical men were daily and hourly in the habits of seeing the most deplorable consequences ensue from mothers administering sedatives very frequently — not for the purpose ot alleviating any complaint un der which the child might labour, but to pacify their own idleness by keeping their unfortunate infants in a stale ot pernicious drowsiness, the consequences of which are infinitely more prejudicial to their young and tender frames, than many ot the diseases inci dental in child He (Mr. North) said that on SaturNy jpoW last, between ten and eleven o'clock, hdrwas called to attend the deceaied, at the regimes: of Mr. Praile, chemist and druggist, King stree', Paddington. lie attended the child immedi ately, and footed all the symptoms upon it of having taken poison. He administered antidotes, but they had.not the desired effect, the dose being so strong. The child was in great asony till two o'clock t he same' afternoon; it died in convulsions. He had since opened the body, and found the bowels gan grened. He - was clearly of opinion that the death of -the deceased was occasioned by its having , had a quantity of solution of arsenic administered in mis take for Godfrey, Cordial. 'Eliza Redwith said that she was the daughter of Mr. Redwith, baker. Mitcham-street, Paddington. She was sent by her mother on. Saturday morning. about ten o'clock, to the shop of Mr. Pralle, chemist and druggist, King-street. Paddington, with a small vial, for two-pennyworth of Godfrey's Cordial—she was served by the shopman, he poured it out of a ge bottle, which was standing in a row with man y irthers—he tasted it three times before he helped her to it; she drank some of it as she was bringing it home t she thought it was very nice ; she was very unwell after having taken it, very sick, and vomited very much. She was very well before she took it. S ie was very ill three days in consequence of having taken the li id. She took it to her mother, and gave the de d, her brother, arsponnful and a halt of it. He h V not taken it more than a quarter of au hour when he was in great pain, and all the co lour lett his cheeks. Her mother tasted the contents of the battle, and sent her back to die chemist's with the remainder, to ask him it it was the proper medi cine ? She went to the shop, and SAW the person who helped her to it. When she asked him it it was the right stuff, he did not reply, but spoke to Ur. Pralle, and poured it out of the phial, and filled it with some fresh liquid, which she took to her mother. The de. teased grew worse, and died about two o'clock the . Mme day. Ann Redwith, the mother of the deceased, 44, that on Saturday morning, in consequence of the I* • ceased being troubled with a cough and with meal *his teeth, she sent the last witness, her daughter, to Mr. Pralle's shop for two-pennyworth of Godfrey's Cordial, to still his ciaigh and to make him sleep. She had not given it to the deceased more than a quarter of an hour when be was taken violently ill and very sick. She had given him the breast just after she gave him the liquid, and she thought she had done wrong to give him the breast so soon after his medicine. He grew worse, and she thought it was possible the chemist might have sent the wrong stuff; she seat her daughter back with the remainder to inquire, having previously tasted it herself, and could not distinguish any difference in the taste from that which she had purchased at one shilling per bottle. Her daughter came back with some fresh staff in the vial, but brcsight no answer from the chemist, whether the stuff was right or wrong. She, of course, felt satisfied that the deceased was not ill in consequence of having taken improper medicine. The child grew worse every five minutes, and she was upon the point of sending her daughter again, when Mr. North, surgeon, Molyneux-street, came in. Ile said that he had been seat by Mr. Henry Pralle, the chemist, to administer an antidote to the deceased, Mr. Pralle's assistant having accidentally sent a wrong medicine. Mr. North sent tome medicine in a very short time, and she administered them as she was directed. He fell into strong convulsions, and was in, that situation when Mr. North call ed a g ain t be said that he would send some more medicine di- 1 reetly, but the child died in a short time after he left the house, befoie the medicine came, in convulsions. George Keridge, chemist and druggist, said that he had been de years in his prefession. He had been about a week an assistant to Mr. Pralle. of King-street, Paddington; he had many times lately occasionally assisted him in serving in the shop— Mr. Pratte having succeede d him in that shop. On Saturday morning Miss Redwith came into the shop, and asked for two-penny worth of Godfrey's Cordial. He reached the bottle which he served her out of, s fu es the s pot in which the Godfrey's Cordial origi nally stood when he was master of the shop, and which bad always stood in that place when be had assisted Mr. Pralle before. He tasted the stuff three' times before hegave it to her, and he was perfectly satisfied that it was the proper medicine. Abius.e quarter ot an hour after Miss Redwith came again, and asked him if he had given her the proper stuff Mr. Prune was in the shop at that time, and he told him which bottle he had poured it from. Mr. ?falls told him it was solution of aneeie which he had given to her. He found himself Dowell. having • takes some of the solution himself at the time be helped Mis. Redwith to it. He therefore took se antidote, which recovered him. He went to Mr. North, the sureeon, and requested Mtas to attend the' deceabed immediately, and acquainted him of she untortui , , , ie accident. The bottle which he helped Miss Red% jib out of was half fully and the label was . worn off it. He believed that if he had not taken me. dicing to couriteract the effects elf the arsenic, it might have bees fatalto hit. He was illapiaios the the deceased's death was caused br r salad= of ars enic, being administered by militate itie GANA Cordial, . . . the Jory said, The Coroner, in addressing . that the present case was a most unfortunate one s, the liven of, three persons had been in g reat jeopardy ; sine had died by the accidental administrant* of poison. He bad beea particular in examining the last witness, whose evidence he considered the mo st important.— The law bad power to pun is h persons who admi nistered medicines without being fi qualified ; but it ap peared that Mr. Keridge was qualied. They had nothing to do with a civil action, which mighttbhe e brought against the chemist by the parents of deceased; It was for them to judge of the criminal part of the business. There was no doubt that it was caused by accident, and he thought the only blame was attached to Mr. Pralle, for not informing the last witness that he had placed the bottle of arse nic solo- Lion in the place where fernierly stood the Godfrey's Cordial. He thought that something ought to be done to prevent a recurrence of such an•untortunate circumstance; a short time ago a person was poisoned at the east end of the town, now at the west mid. He wished that apothecaries, Sm. would keep their poisons in one particular part of the shop, or in par ticular coloured bottles , and the word " Poison' to be written upon them. He hoped that this event would cause the profession to use such precaution as would prevent any such unfortunate circumstance again occurring. Verdict—Died in consequence of having a solution of arsenic administered to him in mistake for God-' frey's Cordial. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Vestry Room, Wapping, before J. W. UNwIN, Esq, on the body of a seafaring man, unknown, who was found drowned in the River Thames the preceding day.

The other apprentices have neither father or mother.—The prisoner WAS fully committed. The Secretary and some of the Members of the Social Souls' Benefit Society, held at the tot kshirc Grey, ir, Hart street, Bloomsbury, appeared to an swer a complaint why they suspended a man, nearly 60 years of age, from the benefits of the Society, as a superannuated Member I—The defendants said the old man had been found intoxicated ; and to prove this called a Mr. James, who stated, that he found complainant on the 25th of October last, (it being St. Crispin's Day), in a public-house, drinking with some coblers, who were singing, and that complain ant begged of witness not to take notice of it ; he however set kis name down. as unfit to receive allow ance from the Society.—Here a person exclaimed, •' How could you do that, when you can neither read nor write "—James—" No; but I can make my mark."—lo opposition to the foregoing evidence, several witnesses gave the strongest testimonies of the complainant's sobriety ; and the landlord of the house said, the old man had but half a pint of beer on the day mentioned.—Mr. BIRNIR said, intoxication could not be applied to such a case, and ordered the Society to pay up all the arrears due to the complainant. QuEas-seuatte.—Yesterday an information was laid under the 11 Geo. I. cap. 16. against Stephen Tor lor„the butler of the Hon.

The information was therefore quashed, and the informers bad to pay costs. HATTON Gastoets.—Yesterday JOAN Pearti, who acts as a kind of petty lawyer to poor people at Hicks's Hall and other places, was brought up for final examination, charged under the Pawnbrokers' Act. with forging pawnbrokers' tickets. purporting to be for articles he had pledged, and selling such forged tickets to other persons. There were several charges of the kind against the prisoner ; the only charge gone into was the following :—Hannah Phil lips deposed, that about a fortnight ago the poisoner called on her at her house, in the neighbourhood of Old-street Road, and asked her it she would buy the duplicate of a good leather bed ? she declined, owing to her having no money ; he told her he had pawned it himself, as he had no occasion for it, having received it for a debt ; be asked her then for the loan of 18d. on the ticket until next day, and if he did not call then and pay her, that she might keep the ticket and release the bed for herself ; it was the ticket of a feather bed, purporting to be pawned at Mr. Per kins', pawnbroker, No. 55. Tooley-street she gave re him the 113 d. and he came again the ne l b pres sed her to buy the duplicate, and offe i seven shillings ; she bought at of him for Ss. more, in addl. tion to th e lild. and she proMised him another shit ling when she released the bed ; she afterwards gave a man 18d. to go to the pawnbroker's and bring Fier home the bed, but the ticket was declared to be a forgery 1 it was in the name of Edward3.—Mr. Per kins proved the ticket to be a forgery. 'Fne prisoner, seeder the Pawnbrokers' Act, was committed for six week to Clerkeawell prison. semi On Christmas Day, the whole of the poor psi. soners in the Marshalsea Prison, amounting to near one hundred, were supplied with roast bee ', a loaf of bread, and one.pot of potter each, by the Deputy Marshal.

Two of the offenders bad been found guilty ; but the third was acquitted, through the doubts exprebsed by Sir C. ONMEST and Mr. Justice Moons, who differed in opi. nion; when the fourth having been arraigned at the bar; and the Judge proceeding to his charge, the FerElllllll of the Jury, to a distinct and audible voice, observed, that it would not be just to convict a poor ignorant woman upon their interpretation of the Act of Parliament.—" How aho*ld such a poor woman," said he, " understand these niceties of law, when you yoorselves art so divided in opinion about them 1" people Lathed heartily, and the Jury iastakatli returned a verdict—Not Guilty. s. . , Jo r===== ===zr ....e the deceased's death was caused_ bi r,ae ars enic, being administered by piscine CORONERS' INV:WS.
