INFANT BAPTISSI.—A case occurred the other day
at Buckland lictunachoruns which ought to be placed before
the public. A child died, and was to be buried in the
churchyard at Bucklana ; but the friends of the deemed
having stated to tie incumbent that the child had not been
baptised, he said that he could not bury it, nor could be
allow of any service being performed at the grave over in
most unfortunate remains, though, io far as "the church "
is concerned, for want of the performance of this ceremony,
the innocent child was deprived of Christian burial. Litre
is in the parish, however, a dissenting chapel, and thither,
on Christmas-day, the friends of the child carried its
remains, and a service was performed there, after which the
body was taken to the grave, and quietly deposited therein
without ceremony of any kind.—Plymouth Journal.

SUSPECTED POlSONlSo.—Yeaterday an inquiry was
commenced before the borough coroner of Liverpool, arising
out of the following circumstances : On Friday last •
gentleman called upon the coroner, end stated that a relative
of his, a Mr. John Walker, a broker and commiseion agent,
of this town, residing in lodgings with a person named Lunt,
at 66, J errard-stratt,ll ad died, in his opinion, under very sus pi-
giOlalcircumetsoces. From the statement then made inquiries
were immediately tit On foot, when it was ascertained that
the deceased, tour or five days Wore his death, which
occurred on the 7th inst., was observed by a fri.nd in a very
drunken state some distance from hie lodgirgs. This
individual immediately procured a cab, in which he placed
deceased and accompanied him home. In doinz so he
observed that be had in his possession a bag containing
money, which he ascertained amounted to 521. During the
night the deceased was taken very ill, and the persons ha was
lodging with tent for a surgeon, who treated the deceased ior
denrium Irinssetta, and on calling the next day found
him getting better. The surgeon was then informed that he
need not call any more, as they could get *dispensary doctor
gratuitously. On this day the relative above mentioned,
Mr. James Smith, of Ashley-street, accidentally called upon
the deceased, and toned him apparently suffering from the
effects of drink. In a day or two after this gentleman again
called to ask atter the health of his relative, when he was
informed that he was dead, and found that preparations were
making for the funeral. Hie suspicions were then aroused,
and on making inquiry from • female,who lodged in the same
house, and was witn the dee. ased up to the time of his death,
he ascertained that toe coffin had been ordered before death
had taken place. The account given respecting the de.
ceased's money was also very unaatisficiory, his landlady
first saying she found 101., then 81., and various other
amounts. The coroaer on learning these particulars on
