o'clock by two men. He wsa quite helpless. He died in
Lis chair between 8 end 9 o'clock. He appeared to be in
:eras pain, but he could cot speak so that she could under-
-4.,0d him. He did not vomit. The neighbours sent fur a
,i.stor, who saw him before death.
Wing, stoker, was then cautioned, bat he tendered

I.Huse. Irfor ers-Mittatioo. He said he was in the employ of
Messrs. Le bears's. He need a solution to keep the boiler
from corroding. He kept it in a four gallon tin canister. It

~.we of toe solution and he poured it into a
tie beer car. with a spout, in order to apply it
• a small valve, which be did. Just at that moment a
r..essage came to him that his child was dying from au ea-
. dent. It had been scalded, and wee now dead.
lie put down the can, aui ran home, thinking only
his child. When became back he found several of the
cm, very bad. Poor Herring complained that he felt very

I.lsa of what bad happened, ae he had drained all the
.)..ition out of the beer-can. afterwards be beard about
the men haw* got beer in the can, and he told Dr. Pope
aik.at it.

Its. the Jury.—The beer-can belonged to Mr. Webb,
;--.lblicin. Witness used it merely because it had got •
',out. The solution was labelled " Poison."
Bernard Healy, bricklayer. said that be wan employed
Iv Mr. Webb. who we. a builder and • publican. Deceased
as sent by witness, at a quarter pest four o'clock, for clay,
.nd be took the beer-can and got half a gallon of beer. At
r, re o'clock witaus drank half a pint of beer, and then eat
~me breed and cheese. He then took another half pint,
.red instantly felt hie inside dreadfully effected.
He vomited violently for three hours and a half.
Tte four men who drank the beer were for an
Lour vomiting and lying almost helpless. Wing then came
and witness said, "My God, Wing, we ere all poisoned."
Wing said, "Have you been drinking out of the can!"
witness said they had, and Wing replied that it would sot
poison them, it would only make them ill. He said the
inventor of it said it would not kill, but you would not want
to take a secoed does. (Laughter.) Witness therefore only
believed he would be sick, and he did nothing till afterwards.
He felt the effect, of the poison now in hie head. His
eating bread and cheese no doubt saved hie life.
Joseph JOINS rid that be saw Wiog pour the solution
into the valve, and be emptied the can altogether. Witness
drank a little of the beer and became cold and prostrate.
Wing took dammed home. Dese•eed had vomited.
Mr. E. Pope, M.R.C.S., said that he was called to the
decease' on Monday evening about eight o'clock. He wee
very ill and feeble. The place was in great confusion sad
was filled with people. Thee told witness that he bail been
drinking beer from a can which contained arsenic and soda.
WICOSSI was surprised that there was no vomiting. but he
,ion heard that there hail been vomiting at the dyer's. He
died from poison.
Mr. Le Liam said that the solution bad bees used for
yeas to purify the boilers. It was labelled "Peace," but
mime did not know what the ingredients were, as it wail •
patented article. He wt, not aware whether those on the
premises knew that thine was arsenic in it.

Wing, recalled, said that when he brought deceased
'come be did not tell his wife what he had been dnokieg,
but only said she should put him to bed. He was positive
Le drained the can out.

It was stated that one of the men was now in a very
premien' condition.

The Coroner having summed op, remarked that the
accident arose from the fact of IV ing's being called away sud•
doily by the calamity to his child, and he, therefore, was to
he commiserated ; but it was unfortunate that be did not
it once tell the men of their danger, so that medical aid
could have been got.
The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from the
effects of driuiricg beer which had been put into a can in
which a certain poisonous solution had been inadvertently
:eft, and the said death arms accidentally and by raider•
tine.
The proceedings then terminated.

Yesterday afternoon Professor Tyndall delivered
the third of his Christmas course of lectures at the Royal
institution. Having is the two previous lectures illus-
trated and explained the phenomena of electrical attrec-
tom and repulsion, sad the induction of electricity in bodies
at a distance from the excited electric, he yesterday pro-
ceeded to consider the excitement of electricity in larger
•cantities than can be produced by rubbing rods of gloms or
sulphur, and its condensation in the Leyden jar. For this
rarpose • more complicated form of apparatus was neces-
sary, and the powerful electrical machines end batteries of
the loyal Institution were brought into operation.
AN "INSURRECTION" AT WINcORSTERCOLLUAL—
It took plans on the 3rd of April, 1;93. Strict orders had
been issued by the warden that the boys should not atteed
the parade of the Bucks Militia ; that is the *vest of die-
, oedience on the part of any individual boy, he should be
inviiviclually punished ; but that if any numbers were seen
there. the whole school should have their "leave out"
5,1,,t0ed for the following I: tater Sunday, when many had
mitioes to dine with friends. One bye *ply —a prefect
—was detected and reported by Mr. Goddard, the mooed-
.aster. The warden not only severely punished the rodi-
valu.dh but stopped the leave of the whole school, moan-
pansies this with a quotation more irritating than aprro-
prate, Q,,idquiel deli rant earls rite, enter Aek.ri. The
:,..vs resented this as • breech of faith ; and after holding
a meeting, in which they hotted themselves by an oath (in
sr..-ch, however, the younger boys were not allowed to
s,in) to stand by each other in their resistance to the
..at, they drew up • series of resolutiess, of which they
rroceeded to put the first into executiot st once. A Latin
Lite was sent to the warden, submitting to the present
I,.nishment, but expressing a Lope that in future he would
Lot punish all foe the fault of one. To this note Dr.
limatiogford returned no answer. After three days a
--:std note was forwarded to him. very respectfully
worded, but requesting a repay. It was returned with an
endorsement charging the writers with "consummate
arrogance" and forgetfulness of their position and their
lutes. Then the storm broke out. The keys of the
ollege gates were seized. Wareing was sent both to
Ire head and Second masters not to make their appearance

toms profeseiotis of esteem ; he was weak enough to cam-
; and kept away. Goddard (though aware of his un-
.orr“larity vs the delator of the actual culprit) had a
appreciation of his duty. He was received on

.-wee of marbles from the yeueger boys-an act cee-
