WHOLE FAMILY POISONED.—The City of
Lincoln was pervaded on Saturday last with an alarm that
Nlr. Bruce had suddenly died, and that other members of his
family as well as himself, had been taken ill soon after taking
their breakfast. The Coroner accordingly summoned a jury,
who, after hearing a mass of evidence which went to raise
strong suspicion that an apprentice of the deceased had put
arsenic in the tea-kettle, the water of which his master used
for his own and family's breakfast, returned a verdict of Wilful
Murder against S. Kirkby, the apprentice-boy. The daughter
of the deceased and the other persons who partook of the tea
made from the solution of arsenic, suffered the ordinary painful
and distressing effects that follow the taking of arsenic into
the stomach ; but we are happy to learn from the Lincoln
Gazette, in which Paper the report of the poisoning appears,
that they are convalescent.

A GAOL BREAKER.—It is now between fire
and six years since Robert Heron, a thief of the most deter-
mined resolution, was apprehended on charge of housebreak-
ing, at the West Shore. He was examined before the police
court, and handed over to the Procurator-Fiscal for prosecu-
tion. On being taken from the police:office to the Steeple
gaol, by Charles Symon, Heron knocked the officer down and
escaped. About four years afterwards he was apprehended in
a fight in the Overgate, and committed to gaol. Shortly af-
terwards while Dow, the gaoler, was unwell, Heron made his
escape from gaol, deceiving the turnkeys by means of a suit
of women's clothes, that were brought to him by an accom-
plice. He was then committed for trial at the Autumn Cir-
cuit Court at Perth, where he was outlawed for non•appear-
ance. Saturday last he was apprehended in his mother's
house by the police officers, and will most likely stand his
trial at the ensuing Circuit Court on the 24th instant.—
Dundee Paper.
Or Friday last, a man of decent appearance, who
wore a blue great coat, over a black frock coat, entered the
parlour of the Cocoa Nut public-house, in Whitecross-place,
St. Luke's, and called for a pint of beer and a knife. It was
observed that he had some large hooks under his arm when he
entered, and when he went away, after having been some
time alone in the parlour, he had the books covered with his
handkerchief. Nothing had then occurred to excite suspicion,
but on the following morning when the servant went to clean
out the parlour, she found in a corner three large covers of
books, one of them was a very strong calf binding of a ledger,
another the cover of a journal, on which was the name of
Green, and the third was marked with the name of Caldwell.
The landlord having no doubt that they had been stolen,
called in a police constable, to whom he delivered them. The
constable, Painter, 16 G, has since ascertained that the books
had belonged to bankrupts, whose names appeared on the
covers, and lied born stolen from the offices of Mr. Gibson, of
Basinghall-street, official assignee of the Bankruptcy Court.
They bad not been missed, but it was discovered, after the
policeman's application, that various other books had disap-
peared ; by ivlat means has not been ascertained.
