DEATH OT A LADY FROM AN OVERDOSE OF CHLORO-
RoEm.—On Monday, an inquest was held at Doncaster, on
the body of Frances E. N. Mansell, wife of a commercial
traveller in that town. The deceased had been for years
in the habit of taking chloroform ; and notwithstanding
that both her medical attendants and her husband had used
all means to prevent her obtaining it from the druggists, she
was supplied with no lees than five ounces on Saturday
last. She used au ounce at • time, and on each occasion
she went to bed, her daughter, only ten years of age,
attending upon her, and removing the cloth (upon which
the chloroform was pouted) from her month when she
thought she had inhaled sufficient. The deceased took
the last dose at ten o'clock, having procured it a
short time before, and at 11 o'clock the children, who were
alone in the house, found her dead. The jury examined
witnesses at great length, and it was shown that the de-
ceased had procured the chloroform from Mr. Martin, drags
gist, against the wish of her friends. The jury returned •
verdict that the deceased bad died from an over-
dose of chloroform incautiously taken, and they further
added, " The jury cannot separate without strongly cen-
suring Mr. Martin for persisting to supply the deceased
with such a dangerous agent after the repeated warnings
of Mr. Moon, one of the medical men, and Mr. Mansell ;
and the jury further recommend that in any future bill for
the male of poisons, chloroform be included under the same
restrictions es other poisons."
THE Faxscn POLICE.—The enlargement of Parin
obliges the Prefecture of Police to make • considerable
Merano in the number of police offfoers. The government,
however, proposes to bear half of the expense, and in addi-
tion to allow in the budget of 1810 a sum of 9'33,000fr. to
complete the original subvention. A committee of the
Legislative Body haa consented to the payment of the half,
on the condition that it shall never exceed 3,847,000 fr., sad
that even year a detailed account of the expenditure be
ormunmaiested to the chamber.
