LAMENTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.

CORON E Ix QU EST.—Saturday \afternoon, Mr. SHE L -
TON, the Coroner, and a very respectable Jury, assembled at
the sign of the Crown in Kent-street, Southwark, to inquire into
the cause of the death of a tine female child, named Elizabeth
Jacobs, aged only two years and three months.
Mrs. Hannah Gifford, residing at No. 6, Fisher's-buildings,
Kent-street, deposed, that she gained her livelihood by nianu-
factoring fancy and ladies reticule baskets rand occasionally
used oil of vitriol and indigo to colour the wicktr. On Tues-
day evening last, she being in ivant of such drugs, went to
a chemist's to purchase sonic, having previously intrusted
her little boy to the care of the deceased's mother whilst she
was absent. After she had procured the compound, she
returned to Mrs. Jacobs's house for her little boy and hap-
pened to lay the poison in a cup on the table, whilst she
wrapped her child up in a shawl, and at that moment the
deceased, who was standing near the table, thank about a
tea-spoonful of the poison, and in an instant its mouth and lips
were shockingly corroded. The mother of deceased took it
up in her arms, and poured some cold water down its throat,
and afterwards ran into the street, where she was met by a
neighbour named Carpenter, who took the child from her, and ad-
ministered some antidotes,which caused excessive vomiting, and
the ejected matter was of a blue colour. The deceased lingered
in the most excruciating pain till the next night,when she died in
convulsions. The Verdict was—" That the deceased's death
was caused by accidentally drinking poison."—Both the
Coroner and Jury deemed the conduct of Carpenter worthy of
their praise and thanks.

The Bill to prevent the cruel and improper
treatment of cattle, passed into a law last Thursday by the
House of Lords, enacts—That if any person shall wantonly and
cruelly beat, abuse, or ill-treat, any horse, mare, gelding, mule,
ass, ox, cow, heifer, steer, sheep, or other cattle, on complaint
to a Magistrate, within whose jurisdiction such offence is com-
mitted, within ten days after, he shall forfeit from 51. to 10s. as
the lowest penalty, and on non-payment be subject to be com-
mitted to the House of Correction for any time not exceeding
three months.
