On Friday evening a girl went into 'Ali-. Milner's,
Apothecaries-hall, High-street, Edinburgh, and asked for
a pound of vitriol, for the reception of which she presented
a beer-bottle, which, as appeared afterwards, contained a
quantity of turpentine. The person in the shop not detect-
ing the presence of this acid, proceeded to pour the vitriol
into the bottle, when an immediate and violent explosion
lock place,
sending the liquor up into his eyes, and break-
ing several bottles in the shop. Fortunately a medical gen-
tleman was present, who instantly applied ammonia to
them, which prevented the evil consequences that other-
wise must have ensued. From the fact of the girl having
fled when the explosion took place, it is suspected that
the act was intentionally done. The girl is not known.
