A SoN rvrV MITTID TOR POINONINO lIIS
An adjourned inquest on the body of Mrs. 8011, aged 66, a
lady of proverty residing in North-street, Lewis, who it
wee had been poisoned by prussic acid administered
to haeirrylher son, Mr. George Bull, a sin n, was re-
mised before Mr. Gill, the coroner, at t tzsart
Lewis, on Friday. From the evidence adduce) ,it
that the deceaMul lady was much afflicted with sickness
in her stomach, for which her son prescribed pentode acid,
awl which Mrs. Bull was in the habit of takiog daily. On
Wednesday last, Mr. George Bull purchased a bottle a
prussic acid, containing sixty minims Scheele's strength, at
a chemist's in the town, and in the morning administered
three minims, the general dose. It would appear that dur-
ing the day Mr. George Bull bad drunk somewhat freely,
and returning home in the evening from a walk Mrs. Bull
complained of a return of the sickness, and requested her
win to give her some more medicine, when be wont into the
kitchen, and getting the bottle of prosaic acid, poured some
into a gLr of water, soli handed it to his mother. She
drank it off, walked up stairs, fell down on the carpet in the
drawing-room, and in twenty minutes was a corpse. Mr.
Bull denied that he poured out the acid in the dark, and
states that he gave only seven drops- about three minims
and a half. Dr. Stream and Dr. Marshall, who were caned
in, stated that they found only twenty-five minims el
prussic acid left in the bottle, so that Mrs. Bull must have
taken thirty-five minims in two doses, a quantity sufficient
to cause death. The jury found a verdict, "'That Sarah
Ann Bull came to her death by prussic acid incautiously
given her by her son George Bull, he being at the time in
an intemperate Mete, and unfit to judge of the proper quan-
tity to be administered." The Coroner—" That is a verdict
of manslaughter." The coroner issued his warrant, commit-
ting Mr. Bull to Lewes gaol to be tried for killing and slav-
ing his mother. intimating that bail would be taken, himself
in VOL and two sureties in 2304. each.
GliomTs or COTTON IN INDIA.--011 Saturday
a memorial was presented to Sir Cherie' Wood, her
Majesty's Secretary of State for India in Council, on the
part of the Cotton Supply Association, which stated that
the correspondence between the Secretary of State for India
in Council, and the Madras Imgatiou awl ('anal Company,
subsequent to the presentation of their former memorial to
the Secretary of State for India in Council, the
proposal made by that company to raise, in Eng
sufficient capital to construct throughout the province of
Orima and the adjacent territories works of irrigation and
means of water transport, has been brought to the notice of
the memorialists, who have given the some the most careful
consideration. Looking to the extensive natural capabilities of
the territories in question for producing a large awl con.
brumes supply of cotton to this country, if provided with
the proposed works ; and considering, also, the important
sail additional fact that such works will, when executed,
form the most convenient and advantageous outlet to the
coast for the produce of other districts notoriously adapted
to the growth of that srticle, they view with considerable
interest the proceedings of a company seeking, without
material aid from government, to open up to the consumers
of cotton in England a field of future supply of so large and
so promiiiing • character ; and they submit that it is of
vital importance that the most prompt and liberal en-
couragement and support should be freely given by
ment to such au enterprise, not only on account of Craw;
peculiar merits, lint because its success will inevitably be
the mesas of attracting to the rapid and complete de.
velopment of the resources of India, and the COO-
sequent benefit of England, the surplus capital el
the latter country; and by thus securing the social
and material welfare of the former, create firm and lasting
feelings of loyalty on the part of the native population,
based upon their prosperity and contentment. In conclu-
sion they prey that her Majesty's Secretary of State for
India in Council will forthwith conclude with the Madras
Irrigation and ('anal Company an arrangement for the con-
struction by the latter of works of irrigation and water
transit in the province of Grier and adjacent districts,
based upon the terms which have been mutually considered
proper for that purpose, without referring the mine to the
government of India at Calcutta, and that he will also afford
to such company every encouragement and support neces-
sary to enable them to curry out those important works with
stICCOSA.
