This morning the neighbourhood of Somers•town
was throws iato a state of great excitement by its being
known that a woman was is custody on the chugs of having
poisoned me of her children, end that she and two other
rhildren ware still in very imminent danger.
The fens which can be relied upon appear to be three :
Let evening, about six o'clock, from a knowledge that
came S. certain persons a woman of the name of Jane
PalrAlsorpe, residing at 15, Northampton-street, Somer'er
tows, was inspected of having visited certain chemists?
and surgeons' shops, and purchased a quantity of laudanum,
knowing that she and her three children were in their room
by there're', and all being quiet, suspicions were
aroused, and information was forwarded to the police
station at Somers-toy o. Inspector Stokes, of the
S division, with commendable alacrity, at once pro.
needed to the house with Police•constable Abraham
Keble, 121 S, and found that the facts were too true. Mr.
Sottisen), the surgeon, of the St. Pancnieroad, was called
in, and found that not only the-woman, Jam Palethorpe,
who I between 35 and 40 years of age, and of
rather prepossessing feature", but her children, Richard
six years of age, Thomas, four years of age, and
Harriet, three yeah of age, were all suffering from the
effects of taking poise°, but their son Thomas was dead,
sad was then lying in her arms. The three parties who
were then alive were atilt in a very dangerous state, and
Mr. ilatheria at once directed their removal to the intimary
of the as, Para workhouse.

♦ ash kris( been procured, the unfortunate parties
were esaveyed to the St. Pancras Workhouse, and the
pewter (Owedman) at coos not for the assistant Louse
earrece, who, with the aid of Mr. Sutheriu, abstracted a
great deal et poison from all the parties, bat even now they

still in a very dangerous state. The woman is in the
eastaily al Impactor Stokes, who has directed that a police-
ceasishis shall he kept with her day and night.

was found addramsd to Mr.. Bent, of Northampton, which
mated that she (the unfortunate woman) was in great dis-
arms that she wanted all her goods sold, as she was about
leaving this world, and the proceeds she wished to be ap-
plirl towards paying her bread bill and other little inci-
dental expenses.
Prom the information that has come into theism& of
the polies, it appears that the husbani of the woman has
hese separated from her for about ten months, sod that
she has committed this rash act in consequence of its
Lasing been stated that her busload had gone to Australia
with another woman.

In her room was found two bottles oonteining poison, and
