EMIT PERSONS POISONED BY EATING risll. —A very
singular occurrence took place oa Thursdry mornina last,
at the manufactory of 7tira. Armfield, button manufac-
turer, Newhall'-street. Some of the girls engaged in the
pressing-room haring agreed amongst themselves to have
a treat for luncheon, sent a man named Richards, engaged
upon the premises, and . whose wife is in the habit of
frying fish far-sale, horns to fetch sortie He returnel
:with some fried plaice, which he disposed of in twopenny-
worths to seven of the girls, each lying of a tolerable Am.
They partook of it heartily, but in a short time after the
meal they were all taken unwed, including the Man him-
self, who had also eaten some of •the fish. They vomited
excessively, and suffered much pain in Vae.stomach and. -
bowels.' Being conveyed home, roedleil advice was at
once sought, and the usual remedies were resorted to with
beneficial affect, and we are glad to state that most of the
girls, somewhat exhausted, are recovered, aad that no- fears.
are entertained• on account - of. the others. It- is difficult
•to account for the injurious effee's produced. by the meal;
but the greatest probability, as the fish are- said to have
been purchased fresh at a fishmonger's in the town, is that
the flesh of the animals was poisoned by pernicious food of
some description.—Birminghon Journal.
