The following story is current in Boulogne, but its •
authenticity is doubtful :—An elderly man met a few days since
a ploughman, and requested him to take care of a large heavy
basket while he went a short distance, promising to return im-
mediately. The ploughman being tired of waiting, carried
the basket to his master. On being opened, it was found to
contain a fine healthy infant, which he proposed his master
should take care of, hiving already eight children of his own
but on the master refusing, and not knowing how to act in the
affair, he resolved upon consulting his wife, who fortunately
consented to receive the foundling, and on taking it out of
the basket discovered a large sum of money, a quantity of fine
baby-linen, and a note, written in the following terms :
" Take care of this child till it is twelve years old, when it
will he reclaimed, and you will be rewarded for your pains."—
Galignani's Messenger.

The village of Hornsea was, on Wednesday last,
thrown into a state of fearful excitement, arising from a case
of poisoning in the family of Mr. Thomas King, an individual
well known and highly respected [as a carrier between this
town and Witherwick for many years, and latterly occupying a
small farm at Hornsea Burton, under the Trinity-house at this
port. On the morning of the above day, after being out at
work, he went home and ate, as usual, a hearty breakfast,
which was, on this occasion, composed of cake and tea.
Shortly afterwards his son, a lad of eleven years of age, came
in, and was about to help himself to part of the breakfast which
his father had left, but Mr. King :prevented him, saying he
felt ill since breakfast, and such a burning heat at his stomach
as he had never felt in his life before—he was sure the cake
was not all right. The servant girl, who was present, ap-
peared to be offended at the remark, and having asserted her
confidence that it was very good, sat down and ate also a
hearty breakfast of the same. Mr. King persisted in his for-
mer statement, and prevented his son from partaking of the
cake. Himself and the servant soon exhibited such symptoms
of illness that it was considered advise to send for the sur-
geon, Mr. Denton, who accordingly came ; Dr. Alderson was
also sent for from Hull, but the man expired about five mi-
nutes before his arrival, and the girl in about ten hours after.
On examination of the remaining portions of the cake they
were found to contain arsenic, and a dog, which had eaten of
the same, died about an hour and a half after doing so. Mr.
King employed a man who sat down to breakfast with him,
but as he expressed a wish to have some cold pie and ale,
rather than tea, &c., he did not eat of the cake, and he and
the boy remained unhurt. An inquest was held on the bodies
yesterday, and adjourned to Monday, at nine in the morning,
for the purpose of allowing the contents of the stomach to be
analysed. We understand that there is strong suspicion that
the poisoning was wilful, and information communicated to the
constable at Hornsea as to the purchase of poison by any per-
son under questionable circumstances, or of any other fact
tending to elucidate the affair, would be desirable.—Hull Ad-
vertiter.
