THREE CHILDREN POISONED BY ORNAKIIIETED
Cassa.—Yeeterday Mr. Wakiey, M.P., held an inquest at
1 the Hunter's Arms, Compton-street, Brunswick-square, on
' Bridget Tyreby' aged four years. James Treby,leeeassd's
father, deposed that on Oood Friday deceased received from
a relative, amongst other Easter present., a large oaks sar-
i mounted by variegated sugar ornaments of different colours.
Deceased divided the Cae amongst two other of his chil-
dren, who with deceased partook heartily of the cake and
its ornaments. Soon afterwards all of them became den-
gerously ill, and were seised with violent retchings and
spasms. lie instantl7 (idled in Mr. Hopton, surgeon, who
exerted his utmost akill to save their lives ; but despite his
efforts, deceased died in dreadful agony last Monday. The
I other children, although better, continue very ill.--Mr.
Hopton, surgeon, Judd-street, said that he found the
' three children suffering from all the symptoms of an
active poison. lie applied ever, possible antidote, but
without effect as regarded deceased, who had eaten more
than the others of eke poisoned ornaments, and she died
on Monday. Upon a post modem examination he found
that deoraied had been very healthy with the exception of
the effects produced by poison,. which manifested them-
, selms in the stomach and intestines. He made en analysis
of the stomach, which led him to the conclusion that Iced
`was the poison that destroyed life.—The coroner, in sum-
ming up, regretted that many similar cases of death,
!caused under such circumstances, had come before him,
and expressed a hope that a stop would be put to the
sale of cakes ornamented by, suet poisoned materials.—
Verdict, " Accidental death.' Hopes are cnti rtsined
Mr. Hopton or the ultimate recovery of the two other
children.
