SUSPECTED POISONING OP Two PENSONS.—CHEL-
TENIIAM DIURSDA —A good deal of c fliinotion exists
here at this moment, in conAquenee of the sudden illness
of a whole lawily alter part sing of a dinner of broad
and cheese, cucumber, an apple dumplings, land the sub-
sequent death of two of the persons. The wafter has
been for two days under inves-igation before S. Maser,
Esq., ow kcal e,tron. r, and now stands adjourned to to-
morrow (this day, Friday ) From thfe depositions of
the several witues:qi, exatainr,d upon the ii,quiry up to
this time, we take the folh.wing brief summary of the
circumstances attending this my steiioui occurrence:—
Mrs. Gregory, a widow, lived with no-r family at 13,
Chapel-street. a lab. uring-men,nained Bennett, lodging
with them. On Friday the parties dined on bread and
cheese, cucumwera, *Mt some apple dumplings. for which
the flour had ben provided by Bennett. While yet at
dinner the whole or the party were seized with violent
retching and spasm 4, and the two dece Elizabeth
Gregory.and a yi.unger brother, sufferedmolt,
they aged
retrained2l in this stab. of
MOM
the throat an Lcute pain in the bowels, Etc-
burning in d
companied by vomiting, until seven o'eloek its the event
ing, when Pr. Brookl aa. sent for. ito pr,,,evib,d for
ihe family, and gave a decided of Won that the disoreer
was not cholera, but considered the symptoms more like
those produced by an irritating poison. It was observed
at dinner that some of the dumplings tasted hot, as if
cayenne pepper had been sprinkled over it. The girl,
Elizabeth Gregory, died on the same night at ten
o'clock, and her brother on Sunday, atter excruciating
suffering. The contents of the stomachs of the deceased
have been forwarded to Mr. Herapath, of Bristol, the
celebrated analytical chemist, for analyzation, and the
result has been the apprehension of Bennett and his
wife, who ore now in gaol pending the verdict of a
coroner's jury.
