DAY.--Fur solcae days past, Mr. Hitchens, the 01.0
tor this district, has been engaged in investigating !',lO
circumstances cons ected with the death of Mary
Melton, a young won:an, aged 19, a servant in the 6.-:r
ploy of Mr. Hills, a large farmer at Nucton Heath, 11,-t
this city, who, it was alleged, had been poisoned by
fellow servant, by whom she was pregnant, in order ce
prey, nt 11, r giving birth to a child. From the evidefid
which had been adduced, it appears that the decel,
who had been for some time past in the employ of At,
Hills, was on Monthly fortnight taken very ill, an 17,01
Snow, a surgeon, was sent for. She continued very ito
until the following Thursday, when she tell into a sled
of collapse. Miss Hills told Mr. Snow that the dceeil,e
hal confessed to her that she had taken some white P;ori
der in a little milk, and that she did so by the direetg.
of John Clark, the shepherd, by whom she was Pr ha
nant, in order to produce a miscarriage, That .I„the
Clark had advised her to do it, "in order to kill ilg
little devil within." He mixed the powder in the "-the
and made her take it. On his examination hoforeoic
coroner, Mr. Snow said, from the severity of the Ot:',00,
he considered that the deceased must have taken Pe'.;,ea
and he told her she had better confess, as he should ',;00
know what to prescribe for her. After some hesito"o•
she acknowledged that Clark had given her a tea-sP°Se
full of arsenic, but she denied that she was to
he
family way. She shortly afterwards died. Whecntt at!
made a post mortem examination of the body be,"butto
sufficient arsenic to kill any person. The decease"
been pregnant fr about seven weeks. Her death vi
t, er!
caused by arsenic. Mr. Hills, the deceased's etl3Pl°Led
said Clark, on the day deceased was taken ill, i',1"10
him for some money, and he gave him 101. He ht ";11111
seen him since. The jury returned a verdict of " 11'd
murder" against John Clark, and the coroner isslie
warrant for his apprehension. 60
