The Alleged Poisoning Case at HULL

On Thursday Augustus Wells, assistant to Mr-
Day, surgeon, and George 1. Wright, landlord of
the Tynemouth Castle public-house, Osborne-street,
charged with attempting to get poison administered
to an illegitimate child, were again brought up at
the Hull Police-court before Mr. Travis, the al'
pendiary magistrate.
Mr. Gresham appeared for Wells, and Mr. Stead
for Wright.
The witness Woodmancy was recalled, and, in
answer to Mr. Gresham, said—l know a rullyruan
named Robert Norris. I remember meeting Wellll
in Wellington-street some time ago, and asking hiln
for the 23s Alice owed me. I never asked him t°
give his watch up. I never spoke to Norris about
having seen Wells in 'Wellington-street on that occr
sion. I know a person of the name of David Deltou,
a rullyman, and if he says that I told him I had
asked Wells for £3 he is not speaking the truth'
If Norris says I told him I had asked Wells for his
watch he is not speaking the truth. The box in
which the two bottles were kept I bought in Len"
don, when I was up in London at the Exhibition
year. It cost 91 or ls., in the Lowther-arcade'
(The box was produced in court and identified hi
the witness.)
Mrs. Woolmancy was also recalled, and in answer
to Mr. Gresham, said—l remember the police-een.
stable coming to my house last Friday to fetch the
box in which the bottles had been. (The box svel4i
again produced and identified.) I told him I iveulau
get the key and empty it of its contents if he wen
wait. He replied that he was in a hurry, and I 087
bring it down to the Mansion-house. The box had
some money and papers in it. We have had the
box about seven years. (Sensation in court.) 11.de
stipendiary said if the persons in the gallery ul
not restrain their feelings he would have the court
cleared, as it should not be turned into a bear gar;
den.] Witness continued—My husband bought I'
for our little girl, who is dead. It was a morel'
box, and when the child was living she used to Put
her money into it. After the child died the hoe
was put away, and none of the other children were
allowed to have it. About three months ago 01
husband wanted a box to put his papers in, e°
brought out this one, and it has been in use since'
We have no other box in our house like this ove.
I was not at the Exhibition last year, but my hi*.
band was. He brought home a doll a-piece for the
children and a cruet-stand for me. He brought
neither myself nor the children a box like the olle
produced. Of this lam quite positive. My hue'
band never told me that he had purchased a box
the Lowther-arcade. I never heard him 09 °lje
word about having brought anything of the kind'
He could not have brought the box home with°t
my knowledge.
The Stipendiary—l shall give no further opinioll
about the case, but discharge both prisoners for tl0
present. (Applause.)
The prisoners were then set at liberty.
