MURDER at NOCTON HEATIL—LINCOLN, SATE'S'
DAY.--For some days past, Mr. Hitchens, the coroner
for this district, has been engaged in investigating the
circumstances connected with the death of Mary Ann
Mellor), a young woman, aged 19, a servant in the env
ploy of Mr. Hids, a large farmer at Nucton Heath, near
this city, who it was alleged, had been poisoned by her
fellow servant, by whom she was pregnant, in order to
prevent h. r giving birth to a child. From the evidence
which had been adduced, it appears that the deceased,
who had been for some time past in the employ of Mr.
Hills, was on Monday fortnight taken very ill, and Mr•
Snow, a surgeon, was sent for. She continued very bad
until the following Thursday, when she tell into a state
of collapse. Miss Hills told Mr. Snow that the d, ceased
had confesect to her that she had taken some white pow'
der in a little milk, and that she did so by the direction
of John Clark, the shepherd, by whom she was preg-
nant, in order to produce a miscarriage. That Joni'
Clark had advised her to do it, "in order to kill the
little devil within." He mixed the powder in the milk
and made her take it. On his examination before the
coroner, Mr. Snow said, from the severity of the attack
he considered that the deceased must have taken poison,
and ho told her she had better confess, as he should then
know what to prescribe for her. After some hesitation
she acknowledged that Clark had given her a tea-spoon-
full of arsenic, but she denied that she was in the
family way. She shortly afterwards died. When 11
made a post nwrttin examination of the body he found
sufficient arsenic to kill any person. The deceased had
been pregnant for about seven weeks. Her death Wag
caused by arsenic. Mr. Hills, the deceased's employer:
said Clark, on the day deceased was taken ill, asked
him for some money, and he gave him 101. He had not
seen him since. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder" against John Clark, and the coroner issued ti
warrant for his apprehension.
