ACCIDENT'S AND 0 FITYCE§.
•
ANOTHER FAMILY POISONED.
An event df a most melanilioly nature had nearly occurred on
Saturday last, in the family of a Merchant of the first: respktability,
in Aldersgate-street, from the fatal effects of arseuic.—On the day
abose !mentioned, time Gentleman in gue-tion hail a seleCt party of
friends (twb Ladies and two Gentlemen) to dine with him. The
dinner passed over, and Wine and fruit were placed on the table, as
usual, when in less than ten minutes, the Lady of the house felt her-
self so mitch indisposed, she was obliged to quit the Won, and was
instantly followed by the Other Ladies. The indisposition Of the
Lady was almost instantly succeeded by that of the Master of the
house and one of his guests, who were seized with violent sickness
and every symptom of being poisoned.—Mr.Wheelwright. of
square, was immediately called in, and On hearing the symptoms of
invalids described, declared, without hesitation, that they had taken
strong poison. The medicines proper ter expelling the poison were
administered, and an inquiry was instituted as to what they had
eaten. 'The kitchen was visited, and the cooking 'utensils were
examined, but nothing was discovered which could at all point out
the cause of the accident ; and what rendered the circumstance
more perplexing was, that the cook and housemaid, neither of
whom had partaken'of the dinner sent into the parlour, were both
at this period taken ill also. 1)r. Babington, who had arrived in
the interval, suggested that the deleterious ingredient must have
been contained in the wine which had been drank, and to account
for the servants being ill, charged them with having done that which
is too frequently practised, tasted their master's wine before it
reached his table. 'This was at first stoutly denied by both, but
on being told their lives depended on their speaking truth, they
confessed they had each tasted a very little drop before the Butler
took np his tray. This led to a discovery of the source from whence
the evil had flowed, the wine iii the-decanter was examined, and
was discovered to be a strong solution of arsenic; the bottom left
in the black bottle was also analyzed, when Dr. Babingion took
nearly a desert spoonful of the powder out of it, which from ap-
pearances had been in the bottle before the wine was put into it.
Two of the ladies and one of the gentlemen had fortunately not
taken any of the wine, and the rest of the company one glass each,
when the providential indisposition of the lady of the house pre-
vented any more being taken ; had any one taken a second glass, it
is the opinion of the medical gentlemen that the cfleet must have
been fatal. At present, the sufferers, thoitglt still: weak, are consi-
dered out of all danger.
THE BoLr, IN A CHINA SHOP —On Monday evening a drove of
bullocks were driving down the Minorite, and on passing by Mr.
Staine's glass and china shop in that street, a large bull turned out
of the drove, and walked deliberately into the shop : the two coun-
ters were covered over with valuable articles of cut glass and chins ;
and at the extreme end of the shop there was a lung glass ease filled
with superb Instres, and several other valuable articles of cut glass.
The consternation of the shopmen, at the intrusion of their unwel-
come visitor, cannot be expressed : as he advanced into the shop lie
smelled to the articles on both time counters, and walked tip to the
glass, which lie likewise nosed all over: when he had sufficiently
satisfied his curiosity, he turned round and walked very quietly out
of the shop, without his doing any further mischief than what lie
accidently done, by breaking three squares of glass in the glass case
with his rump in turning round.
INQUEST.---Friday there was an inquest held at Mary-le-bone
Court House, before G. Hodgson, Esq. one of the Coroners for the
County of Middlesex, on view f the body of -- Solomon, who
suddenly dropped down on Wednesday evening and expired.—The
deceased was a jew, and an eminent gold and silver refiner, residing
in Mead's Court, Lombard-street, and he came to see a friend at the
Court House, with whom lie was engaged in conversation when he
dropped down in a fit, and notwithstanding medical assistance was
immediately procured, lie expired on the spot. The surgeon gave
it as bet opinion that he died of apoplexy, and not having previously
complained of illness or even spoke since he dropped down, the Jury
'chimed their verdict, that he died by the visitation of God.
