paper expressive of your smp-ithy towards me under
my late incarceration. Yin may probably not b., aware
that owing to the great reduction my health sustained
by that confinement, I was recommended to visit my
native place for a short season, as a means of record-
ing my health and strength ; in compliance with th t
advice I intend to stop here some weeks longer, and am

domestic necessities, will prev. nt nif- complying with ti

OF CARBURTON.

It is with feelings of the most painful nature that we

circumstance connected with . the brief but eventful life
of this depraved woman, far exceeds those detailed in
fiction. Young, handsome, accomplished, and of the
most captivating manners, apparently artless and inge-
nuous, her heart appears to have been " deceitful above
all things, and desperately wicked." The cool and sys-
tematic manner in which she for months kept adminis-
tering poison to an affectionate husband ; the pleasure
with which she witnessed his daily and nightly suffer.
ings, the gradual wasting of his frame, and the total
deprivation of the use of his limbs, appear too monstrous
for belief. But yet these are, unhappily, facts beyond
the possibility of a doubt. Nor does it appear that her
murderous efforts were confined to her unsuspecting
husband, for it has been also ascertained that poison had
been administered by her to the household servants and
farm labourers in his service. We feel it necessary to
make this preliminary statement lest any of our reader.
might be ignorant of the facts stated on oath upon the
inquest held in October last upon the mother of her
husband, when the corpse of the old lady was disinterred,
in order that the charge of having poisoned her mother-
in-"aw by means of small doses of arsenic might be in-
vestigated before the Coroner.
Mrs. H. Cutts bad been placed at that time under
the surveillance of the police at her husband's residence,
and inforrcation was brought to the inquest-room that
she had effected her escape from their custody. No-
thing was heard of her until July last, when Mr. Cutts
had intelligence of her at intervals. She was known to
be in the habit of taking exciting drugs. During her
residence at New-ferry, she had represented herself to
be the Hon. Miss Count?, and at other times as the
Hon. Miss A. Cooper, of Watnall-hall, Nottingham-
PRleatCsways shire. We are informed that she had previously lodged
