POISONING AT BERMONDSEY.

Yesterday morning, Mr. W. Carter and a highly re-
spectable jury re-assembled, for the third time, at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, Bermondsey, to investigate
the extraordinary circumstances connected with the
death of James George Trump, aged six years, the son
of James Trump, a plasterer, residing at 9, Princes-road.
It will, no doubt, be recollected that on the 21st of
December last the deceased child died, after partaking
of a paste prepared by its mother, in some hashed mut-
ton, and that the whole family were afterwards seized
with very violent sickness, and from several suspicious
circumstances the inquiry was twice adjourned for the
purpose of an analysis of the stomach being made. It
may be as well to state that an infant, aged 17 months,
did not partake of any of the paste, and was not taken

ill. -
Yesterday it was proved by a medical gentleman, that
the stomach of the deceased contained arsenic. The
same poison was also found on the remains of a pudding,
of which the deceased had partaken. It also appeared
by the same evidence that both father and mother had
partaken of the poison.
The Coroner, in summing up said—Since I have bees
in office, have never had such a case before me. There
is no doubt that a great wrong has been committed, but
where to attach the criminality I am at a loss to say.
You, gentlemen, must consider where the suspicion lays.
The father buys the flour, and the dumpling is made by
the mother. The flour has no doubt been tampered with
by some person. The mystery is not the death of the
deceased, but the fact of the mother being taken ill, and
arsenic being discovered into their vomit.
By order of the Coroner, the court was cleared of all
except the jury, and, after about an hour's consultaton,
the public were re-admitted, and the father and mother
were called into the room.
The Coroner, addressing the father and mother, said
—lt has been found by the jury that your son has died
from poison, but by whom administered there is no evi-
dence to prove ; but I hope it will not be long before
the matter is brought 0 light, for whoeier has adminis-
Vred it has been guilty of a most heinous murder. From
the evidence there is no charge against either of you ;
but I can only repeat that the case is fraught with the
greatest suspicion, and that a moat foul wrong has been
done. The jury have also requested me to read their
verdict to you, and it is this— " That the deceased child
died from poison, arsenic being found in the food of which
he partook ; but we have no satisfactory proof how it
became mixed therewith."
At the conclusion of the inquiry the Coroner said he
hoped the police would not lose sight of the case, but
endeavour to bring to justice those who had committed
go foul a crime. •

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JAN VARY 6, 1854.

PREFERENCE SHARES.

THE SNOW STORM.

not arrive at London-bridge until after 6 a.m., being
nearly two hours behind its time. This delay was caused
more from the slippery state of the rails than snow, the
latter having been almost cleared away. The line be-
tween Margate, Ramsgate, and Canterbury, which re-
mained blocked throughout Wednesday, had also been
cleared, and a train reached London-bridge late on
Wednesday night, many hours behind its time. The
trains continued to arrive yesterday somewhat late, but
no serious delay took place. The down trains were des-
patched as usual, after the rails had been covered with
gravel. The passengers were fewer than usual during
the day.

Yesterday London experienced a continuance of the
serious interruptions to its business which occurred on
Wednesday, owing to the non-arrival of the mails, and
an extensive stoppage of railway traffic, in consequence
of the great fall of snow which took place on Tuesday
night throughout the midland, northern, and north-
western districts of the kingdom, and over the metro-
polis itself. The appearance of the streets yesterday
was in some respects even more uncomfortable than on
Wednesday. During the night a second, fall of snow
had come down, to an average depth of three inches,
the wind having shifted from east to south-west,
with a thaw, gentle in the morning, but increasing in
rapidity during the day, accompanied by fog, which
settled down over the city between three and four
o'clock in the afternoon. The fog continued to hang
about during the whole evening, and about seven
o'clock a smart shower of sleet or bail—it was diffi-
cult to say which—fell for about half an hour.
Omnibuses were more numerous than on Wednesday
—in fact, the supply was much as usual ; but the
great majority were still drawn by three or four
horses, and making slow progress even then. Of cabs
the supply was also greater than on the previous day,
and of those out fully one-half were drawn by two
horses, some being tandem, many, however, having the
leader mounted by a boy. Other cabs had their horses
in pairs. The Paddington, Hampstead, and other long-
stage omnibuses generally carried a placard addressed to
the public, stating that in consequence of the incle-
mency of the weather the proprietors had found it ne-
cessary to increase the fares. Cabmen having two
horses made their own terms, seldom running for less
than ls. per mile, and frequently getting more ; in fact,
the shilling was always asked, and generally cheerfully
given where only a single horse was driven.
The snow which fell on 'Wednesday appears to have
extended far over the country, but not to such an
amount as to create additional obstructions upon the
railways, some of which, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing account, have been snow-blocked to an extent
unknown in the previous history of railways.

IN THE MATTER OF HENRY CLARKE.

This insolvent, an attorney, on Fish-street-hill, was
opposed by Mr. Pulling, the barrister, on the part of a
Mr. Scott. Mr. Sargood supported.
The point raised in the case, which occupied the court
some time, was whether there had been a ♦exatious
defence to an action, brought by the opposing creditor,
who had been a client of the insolvent, and in respect
to whom there had been proceedings against the Great
Western Railway. It appeared that there had been
cross proceedings between the insolvent and Mr. Scott,
and all matters had been referred to arbitration. The
arbitrator was Professor Creasy, the barrister, and he
had made his award. Mr. Scott was a creditor on the
schedule.

Mr. Pulling raised the question of a vexatious de-
fence.

Mr. Sargood said there could not be a vexatious
defence, as all matters in difference had been referred,
and, according to the practice of the court, that was a
sufficient answer.

Mr. Commissioner Phillips concurred in the opinion
expressed, that there could be no vexatious defence after
a reference.

Mr. Pulling urged the point, and a long discussion
took place, and evidence was given. The learned counsel
contended that there had been a vexatious defence.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips held that there was no
case against the insolvent, and ultimately ordered him
to be discharged.
The insolvent, who it was stated had been attacked
with cholera, and was now in a very weak state, was
accordingly discharged.

SHALL WE GO THIS

MORNING?"

Such is usually the query over the breakfast table with visitors to
London. Let us answer the question. If you can admire the most
beautiful specimens of Papier Mache manufacture which are pro-
duced in this country, displayed in the most attractive forms —if you
want a handsome or useful Dressing Case, Work-Box, or Writing
Desk—if you need any requisite for the work-table or toilet—or if
you desire to see one of the most elegant emporiums in London, then
you will go to MECIWS, 4, LEADENHALL-STREET, near the
Irdia House, in whose show-rooms you may lounge away an hour
very pleasantly.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
• Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were on
a very limited scale, and the show of samples of both rod
and white was trifling. Owing to the closing of tho in-
land navigation rendering it impossible to deliver, the
amount of business doing was limited ; nevertheless, fac-
tors were very firm, and needy buyers were compelled to
pay an advance of is to 2s per quarter on Monday's prices.
The import of American wheat has been good ; yet the
sale for all kinds was steady, and prices were fully is per
quarter higher. Floating cargoes were held at a rise of 2s
per quarter.
We were very moderately supplied with barley, which
sold steadily, at is per quarter more money.
Malt was in good request, and is dearer.
We had a good demand for oats, at Gd per quarter more
money.
Beans, peas, and flour were held at enhanced rates.

.The supply of beasts in to-day's market was very mode-
rate as to number, and deficient in quality. Prime breeds
moved off steadily. at full prices ; otherwise the beef trade
warn in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's currency. With
sheep we were fairly supplied. The trade was by no means
active, yet we have no change to notice in prices. Calves,
the supply of which was limited, moved off slowly at late
rates. In pigs comparatively few transactions took
place.
Mulch cows were dull, at from 14/. to 18/.. 5s each, in-
cluding their small calf.

R. HOWARD, SIJRGEON-DENTISt, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,

as not to be distinguished frora the orl,inals by the closest observer ;
they will never change or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp )rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loos,' and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed' teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.
