charged wilt administering strychnine to Miss Emily
Sophia Blake, dat.ghtcr of Mr. Blake, surgeon, of Salis-

poisonous dregs, with the view, it is supposed, of cow-
inittiag suicide. He wrote out a prescription, under an
assumed nsme, and, addressing a letter to Messrs.
Savory sad Moore. of London, succeeded in inducing •
newly-engage i turnkey to post it for bits, a further
arrangement being also made for the "medicine," on its
arrival, to be left at the turnkey's house. Messrs.
Savory and Moore, finding that the prescription included
a dose of. morphia more than sufficient to destroy life,
immediately put themselves in communicatlin with the
Salisbury polioe, the remit of whose inquiries was fully
to establish collision between the turnkey and the pri-
goner. The turnkey was at once suspended, and a
further inquiry into the matter has been entered upon
by the visiting justices of the county gaoL A meeting
of the visiting jasmine, of the county prison was held on
Friday to enquire into the matter, the result of which

WA RMINST E R.
FATAL AOC'DINT.—A. vary shookieg occurrence bap.
paned on the afternoon of Tuesday. Mr. Corson, the
well known implement manufacturer, drove out in a four
wheel, on Tuesday afternoon, soco:npauied by his wile
and • young lady Mend, intending to proceed through
Longleat park. On arriving at the top of the hill
descending into the park, Mr Carson alighted, givh.g the
reins to the young lady. The horse made a shy at
some object, and becoming alarmed Mrs. Carson ende.i-
voured to descend. Her dress caught either in the harness
or in some port of the carriage, and the horse getting
f Tightened bolted. The unfortunate lady was dragged
along a distance of about two hundred yards when her
clothed were released and the home stopped. On coming
up her husband found that she wee dead, her skull having
received a severe fracture. Kr. and Mrs. Carson had not
bees married more than a few years and we need hardly
say the bereaved husband has the deepest sympathy of
his neighbours in the awful afillettor.
