I'9B worthy Magistrate then . informed the prisoner that h duty to remand hint, for further investigation. Yesterday, Thomas Fontzick underwent another examina tion. Edward Collier, a master of the Gntvesend boats, 1? years ago, den used to his knawledge of a scuffle, but never heard any mention of the murder, and he believed the story devoid of foundation. Charles Bowtill, the. young Min mentioned as be ing the cause of the quarrel, explained the circumstance of his being enlisted by the se: jeant .putting a shilling into his hand, which was given to him to pay for some beer. I'he serjeant in sisted on carrying him away, when he resisted, and Fontzick came to his assistance. A scuffle ensued ; the serjeant was knocked down i:tto the ferry; hut the witness stated that see ing the se jeant the morning following, and fearing he was in pursuit of him, he ran away, and never saw him since. James Uraters corroborated the testimony of the last witness. When • this event happened it .was dark, the serjeant was knocked down, drew hi, sword, which was broke, and thrown overboard. and Fontzick jumped on him, but stated that he raised himself up, went ashore to seek redress, saw him next morning, but ne-' ver since heard what became of him, nor heard of the supposed murder. Aft - er the worthy Magistrate had attentively considered the evidence of the IA ittle , ses against the charge made by Ashburn, tie declared that the duty he owed to himself, and the faithful discharge of his situation imperiously demanded his strict hives tigation into the alleged Murder. He had written to the Go vernment Offices to make inquiry, but having at that time re ceived no answer, and being satisfied tik wns no positive I , roof of guilt, he should hold the prisoner to bail, himself in WI. and twp sureties of ‘2:::1. each.

TO POISON —The servart of a Noble Lord was charged with having infused a poisonous drug into a mug of beer, with intent to poison a res;.ectable family in St. ,latines's parish. It appeared, by the depositions of the several witnesses, that Lord occupies apartments in the house of a mill;ner and dress-maker, in the parish of St. James, where revrral rung females are employed, and the prisoner, his Lordship's . valet, also resided in the house. The dress-maker's servant lrad placed a pot of beer on the kitchen-dresser, whilst she laid the cloth up stairs, and during her absence the prisoner infused the poisonous drug into it, as appeared by his volwitary confession to Hamilton ;.nd Foy, who apprehended him, and which was corroborated by the testimony of a foot-boy who was present, and to whom the prisoner imparted the secret. The beer was taken up stairs, and some of. the young females partook of it. It was found offensive, and subsequent symptoms ind the mistress of the house to seek professional aid, and on analyzing the remains of the beer, it was found that it had been adulte- rated with poison, sufficient to have killed every one in the house. Powerful emetics were primiptly applied, and no life has been lost. The prisoner accounts for his conduct rather upon the ground of ignorance than of malice. He was re mantled for another examination. He professed to hav_e an at tachment for one of the young females. LONDON : Printed and Edited by E. ROCHE, and Published by J.
