DEATH FROM PoisoN.—Yesterday, Mr. Baker entered into
an inquiry, at the White Swan, Wapping.wall, concerning
the death of Hubbard Broekwell, aged GO, a marine-
store dealer. residing in Star-street, Shadwell. It appeared
from the evidence, that the deceased was addicted to drink-
ing, and for some time past been labouring tinder symptoms
of deliriuns tremens' and his wife had left him in conse-
quence. This appeared to excite him, and he repeatedly
threatened to destroy himself. Ile would often place his
hand to his head and exclaim, " Oh my head, it is broken."
On Sunday evening last, he retired to rest as usual, and
about six o'clock the following morning, his wife, who had
not seen the deceased for seven weeks, went to his bed-room,
and found him lying on the bed quite dead.—A juror said
there were several repine circulated through the neigh-
bourhood that the deceased had died from the effects of
poison, and there was certainly a great deal of suspicion at-
tached to the wife, and that a pans(-mortem examination of
the body was necessary. The jury then journed accord-
ingly fur further inquiry.
