THE LATE CASES OF POISONING

AT KENSAL NEW TOWN.

From an early hour on Tuesday morning until late in
the evening crowds of persons continued to assemble in
front of the cottage lately tenanted by the unfortunate
sufferers. Mr. Abercrombie, the surgeon, has been in
constant attendance upon the survivors, and six o'clock
last evening Mrs. Hickman remained in such a pre-
carious state that little hopes were entertained of her
recovery. The eldest child Thomas, and also Mrs.
Hickman's sister, were, on the contrary, rallying rapidly)
and it was the opinion of the medical gentleman that
they are now out of danger. Caroline Bonemy, who
was the innocent cause of the calamity, states that she
was perfectly ignorant of arsenic or anything of a
poisonous nature being kept in the house; that on Sun-
day morning she wanted some paper to ight the fire,
and seeing the bag, which she imagined contained only
flour, she mixed the contents with what was used in
making the pudding.
It may appear most extraordinary that so large a
quantity of arsenic should have been kept in any house;
to account for which it is only necessary to state that
Hickman was formerly in business as a glass-blower,
and in his trade he used not only arsenic but nitrate of
silver in large portions. That which was mixed with
the pudding was the remains of a lot he purchased some
time since. When at his former residence he had the
poison placed in a bottle and concealed in the wa2hhouse,
but on removing to the present house the bottle got
broken, and the poison was then placed in the flour bag,
and deposited in the cupboard.
By some of the neighbours it was at first rumoured
that the unfortunate man had wilfully poisoned his family
and destroyed his own life. They were led to this con-
clusion from the fact of his long absence from home, and
his sudden return so short a time before the tragedy oc-
curred. It, however, appears that about four months
since, from some neglect of duty whilst in the police, he
thought it better to resign, and he accordingly sent in
his clothes with his resignation. It further appears that
whilst in the force he had contracted several small debts,
and being out of employment and unable to discharge
them, he kept away from home, only occasionally going
to see his wife and family, and thit by night when he
thought he should not be observed by his neighbours.
On the forenoon of Sunday last, whilst the pudding was
being prepared, he was engaged in his garden fixing up
for his wife drying poles. The occupier of the adjoin-
ing house is positive that from ten o'clock until past one
o'clock Hickman never left the garden; he, therefore,
could not have had any hand in placing the poison in
the pudding. Since his death a post mortem examina-
tion of his body, and also that of his son James, has
been made.

At eleven o'clock on Tuesday forenoon, Mr. Wakley,
M.P., and a respectable jury met at the Portobello Arms,
Mensal-road, for the purpose of inquiring into the cir-
cumstances connected with the respective deaths of
Thomas Hickman and his five children. The jury hav-
ing been sworn and a foreman chosen, they proceeded to
the cottage to view the bodies. A more appalling scene
has rarely been witnessed; in the front parlour was the
elder deceased, and by his side the five other bodies were
lyiThn.
ge jury having returned to the inquest-room, the
qoroner watrtnfofttiect that 'twr§nKof the bc.clevs?fief
been opened; lhattheiister or Mrs. HickmaU and_the
other boy were rapidly recovering, and possibly Mrs.
Hickman herself might get the better of the poison in a
few days.
The CORONER then informed the jury that he should
not at that period go into the case, but should adjourn
the inquest to a future day; and, in the meantime, the
bodies of the other children would be opened, and pos-
sibly by that time the two women would be in a fit state
to give evidence. At the present time he was quite sure
that they would not be able to get anything like satis-
factory testimony, for they appeared to be the only
parties likely to throw any light upon the affair.
The inquest was accordingly adjourned.

ELOPEMENT.—Last week great excitement pre-
vailed in the neighbourhood of Chapel-street, Luton, owing
to a report, which was industriously circulated, to the
effect. that a merchant of the town, a married man, had
eloped with a married lady. The gentleman, whose wares
consist of rags, bones, and old clothes, had succeeded, by
the extraordinary grace of six feet three inches, in in-
sinuating himself into the good opinion of the lady, who—
to show a woman's devotion for the man of her choice—
consented to bid adieu to a large husband and small
family, and share the fortunes of her paramour. Ac-
cordingly, the worthy couple proceeded en route for
the metropolis; and having reached a place where' the prying
eye of curiosity could not peer upon them, they halted to
recruit their strength and enjoy the novelty of their situ-
ation. The gentleman, whose organ of caution was in full
exercise, began to marvel at his temerity, and expressed his
determination of going back to Luton, and after showing
himself among his acquaintance, to return and escort the
lady onward. Acting upon this manoeuvre, in order to
prevent any disagreeable reflections being cast upon his
character, he entered the town, and to make sure that
his presence was known, he invited two companions to
join him in discussing the merits of a pot or two of porter,
but his feelings arising with the stimulus of the liquor, he
communicated the secret to them. The pot, which was the
bond of their friendship, had no sooner been left behind, than
the secret oozed out with the excitement of the liquor,
and found its way to the relatives of the lady. Two of her
brothers accordingly went in search of the delinquent, and
meeting him just as he was upon the point of taking his de-
parture to rejoin his mistress, they accused him of the act,
which he smilingly denied. Their indignation at his conduct
being too big for words, the parties assumed a threaten-
ing attitude, and six feet three inches was thereiipon soundly
thrashed, and knocked into the middle of the road, where be
boldly exerted himself in crying out murder, to the no small
amusement of a few spectators ; but a cart coming down the
road, the driver of which feeling inclined to put an end to his
cries by running over him, he jumped up, took to his heels,
and finally disappeared. A vehicle was then procured, and
the "lady" brought back to her family, after an absence of a
day and a night.—Herts Mercury.

STRANGE TASTE.—A water-wagtail has fixed upon
a strange position for its nest, near the Plumpton-station, on
the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. It has placed its nest
in a hollow beneath one of the permanent rails of the line, over
which trains are passing hourly. The nest at present con-
tains four eggs; and the birds do not appear to be in the
least disturbed in their domestic affairs by either the scream
of the whistle or the noise of the carriages.—Carlisle Journal.
THE POTATO CROP.—We have much gratification
in stating that the potato crops in this neighbourhood look
clean and promising. There is no indication at preient of
disease. We have heard from parties who sowed extensivelywenlast year, that by mingling lime with theirseed n
com-
mitted to the ground, and also when storing after the harvest,
they succeeded in resisting all disease, and preserving their
crop sound through the winter. Were this generally prac-
tised, much anxiety and loss might be avoided.—Canterbury
Journal.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
On Tuesday a Court was held in consequence of the
application of Dr. Lynch and a number of the inhabi-
tants of various divisions of the ward of Farringdon
Without, relative to the sanatory condition of that ward.
The galleries were crowed with the constituency, and, by
the direction of the Lord Mayor, crowds of strangers
were allowed to sit within the bar of the Court, the in-
terest excited by the notice of the discussion being so
great as completely to obstruct the avenue to the Council
Chamber.
The preliminary matter having been speedily disposed
of, Dr. Lynch was called upon to proceed with the peti-
tion of the ward of Farringdon Without.
Mr. King moved that the standing order, that " no
petition or memorial be received by the Court before
two o'clock in the afternoon unless the other business
on the paper be completed before that time," be read.
He objected to the irregularity which the consideration
of the petition before the stated hour, according to the
standing orders, was calculated to sanction, and sug-
gested the propriety of moving the suspension of the
standing order.
Anderton—Certainly, the Court was appointed
for the consideration of the particular subject. I shall,
therefore, move that the standing order be suspended, in
order that the subject of the petition be at once enter-
tained.
The question that the standing order be suspended
w s negatived by 61 to 30.
FRAUDS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE WINE DUEY.
The subject of the late extraordinary frauds in the col-
lection of the City's dues on wines, which has caused so
much excitement in the corporation, was then entered
upon.
The following are extracts from the report of the
committee of officers and clerks to whom it was Fefcrrea
to consider the nature, duties, and emoluments of the
office of collector of the City's dues on wines, and the
necessary regulation to be adopted for its future ma-
nagement
't We are of opinion that the following regniatizeaa
should be adopted:—
" That the person to be appointed be required to
attend personally te the receipts of the dues, and any
deputy on his part to act only in case of his unavoids,Lla
ab,ence; all such cases of absence to be reported to the
Chamberlain, and the receiver to give. security against
any misconduct of his deputy,
" That, inasmuch as the scale of charges heretofore
used for many years was computed as nearly as prac-
ticable in conformity with the Act of Parliament, the
same be continued. That the custom of giving credit
he abolished. That the collector be required to pay the
full amount of all moneys received by him into the
chamber once in each week at least; accompanied by a
statement in detail setting forth every particula. That
his accounts be audited by the Coal and Corn and
Finance Committee quarterly. That he be required to
give security with two sureties in the sum of 5001.
" Your committee are unanimously of opinion that
the salary to be allowed to the collector should be 4001.
per annum."
The report, after having certified as to the necessity of
the appointment of a person, to be denominated the
comptroller of the City wine dues, concludes with the
following paragraph:—
" And we, your committee, being of opinion that the
original statements respecting Mr. Fellowes' conduct
connected with his receipts and collections of the City's
dues upon wine have been fully borne out; we have, in
consequedce thereof, direettd Mr. Fellowes to be pro-
ceeded against criminally, for embezzling various sums
of money received by him; and true bills of indictment
have been found against him for the same."
Mr. BURN (the chairman of the Officers and Clerks'
Committee) moved that the report be agreed to.
Mr. SELSON called the attention of the Court to the
subject of the extensive frauds to the complete detection
o' which the inqairy entered into by Mr. Lart and him-
self had necessarily led, and moved an amendment to
the motion, by adding the following words, viz.—" Ex-
cepting that both elections, viz., of collector and comp •
troller, be with this Court.
Mr. R. L. JONES, as chairman of the committee to
which the subject bad been originally referred, declared
that there had not been brought before the committee
any evidence to show that the conduct of the accused
was criminal. The proofs of fraud were not produced
until the investigation advanced. The cemmitteOftid
acted all through with no object but the desire and the
determination to investigate the truth.—(Hear.)
Mr. LAWRENCE said that nothing could be more un-
just or absurd than the accusation of a committee for
not having acted upon evidence which was never brought
before them. 'the report, which stated the criminality
of the accused, was founded upon testimony got together
subsequently.—(Hear, bear.)
Mr. LART entered into a justification of the whole
course of his conduct, in detecting and exposing the
gross frauds committed by Mr. Fellowes, who had in a
few years actually received 12,5004 from the public more
than he paid into the chamber.
The motion was then carried, with Mr. Selson's
iiddi-
tion, by a vast majority.
The salary of the collector of wine dues was then
fixed at 4001. a year.
Mr. PRENDERGAST moved that the thanks of the Court
be given to Mr. Selson and Mr. Lart for their zeal and
perseverance in inquiring into and detecting the delin-
quencies of a public servant of the corporation.
Mr. STEVENS seconded the motion, which was carried
by acclamation.
Mr. J. Temple was unanimously appointed ball-
keeper of the corporation, and the Court was occupied
in appointing other officers until a late hour, so that Dr.
Lynch and Mr. It. Williams, of Farringdon Ward, were
obliged to walk out, the petitions for sanatory aid being
regularly burked till the 10th of June.

GUERNSEY.
(From the Guernsey Sun.)
The following correspondence appears in the Guernsey
Sun : (Copy.)

" Sir Francis Drake Steam packet,
" Stonehouse, 20th April, 1847.
"My Lord Duke,—l beg leave very respectfully to
lay before the notice of your Grace (as head of the
Trinity Board) a subject of immense importance to this
great commercial country. The subject to which lam
about to allude is thl necessity of placing a lighthouse
on the western seaboard of the island of Guernsey.
" I beg to state to your Grace that I have already,
pointed this out to the Secretary of the Trinity Board,
to Admiral Beaufort, hydrographer to the Admiralty,
and to the Committee of Management at Lloyd's, and
they all have acknowledged the positive necessity of
such a light, yet at the same time no measures are being
adopted towards carrying so desirable an object into
effect. The cause appears to be some conflicting interest
between the elder brethren of the board and the island
authorities.

" I assure your Grace that the annual destruction
of life and property is so great upon and about
the dangers which surround the Channel Islands,
that common humanity calls aloud on the par-
ties in whom the vested rights are placed to remedy
such a crying evil, and which has been so long
overlooked. This has induced several respectable and
influential individuals to recommend my bringing the
matter to the notice of your Grace. I beg, further, to
state that I have already furnished detailed statements
to the before- mentioned public boards. Also, that, since
my own personal knowledge of these islands, more than
100,0001. worth of property, and above 300 lives have
been sacrificed. In addition to these, many other
vessels have been lost, of whom nothing has been known
but that of dead bodies being washed on shore, and frag-
ments or4re4k,,,,picy'ed up by the natives after a preva-
lence or Beati_wetterlx gales during the dark winter
-nig= —Every nalfticla man is surprised and astonished
that such a serious barrier to the navigation of the Bri-
tish Channel as this island presents should have been
allowed to remain so long in total darkness, when every

" To trouble your Grace with a further detail of my
remarks on the subject would, I feel convinced, be un-
necessary; and I assure you that they are deduced from
my own personal experience, and that I can safely defy
contradiction from any one. I, however, take the li
berty of sending you (as below) a
copy of a statement
now before me, made by that eminent surveyor of the
Channel, Captain Martin White, RN., than whom
better authority cannot be found.

on the subject, when I assure your Grace that nothing
but humanity and a desire to serve my fellow-creatures
prompted me to do so. I beg most respectfully, your
Grace,

" Having been frequently referred to by certain par-
ties in the islands of Guernsey and Jersey for an opinion
as to the utility of a lighthouse on the south-western end
of the former island—vis., Ylemmont, for which it seems
a petition is in course of signature, and having, during a
period of 40 years and upwards, personally experienced
the vicissitudes which attend the navigation among these
islands, and along the French coast—particularly during
the long dark and dreary. nights of winter—I consider
the erection of such a building (on the heights above al-
luded to) to be of vital importance to the interests of
trade generally, and to such vessels as are bound to the
islands more especially, and equally conducive to the
safety of such of her Majesty's cruisers as may at any
time sojourn among this rocky group ; and I do, there-
fore, after mature consideration, earnestly recommend it,
adoption.

STATE OF THE COKi MARKET

IN FRANcJE.

The proceedings of the past,
week show a decided im-
provement in the general aspect of affairs. In no part of
France have we to report as advance in prices—in seve-
ral districts a slight fall has taken place—and, in the ge-
nerality of markets, matters are calm, and giving pro-
mise of lower quotations. The fineness of the weather
throughout the kingdom giving promise of an abundant
harvest, has had an effect on prices ; speaulators no
longer engage in affairs of importance ; a hand-to-
mouth kind of business at present prevails, the only
object in view being to get through the ten or twelve
weeks that must elapse before the new grain can
be in the markets. In 611 the markets of the interior
buyers now purchase as little at possible ; and the acti-
vity which a couple of moat is ago was perceptible in the
inland markets is II (17,/ removed exclusively to the sea-
ports, and partitularly to Marseilles and Havre. At both
these ports, particularly the latter, purchases have been
made during the week for England. Prices are at present
higher in London that at Havre. Wheat at the former
Pine is from 44f. to 5
f. the hectolitre, whilst at the
latter it is only 40f. to 42f. American flour is also sold
at London at 65f. to 67f. the barrel, whilst at Havre
it is only 55f. to 57f. This difference is so great
as to cause fears to be entertained of its per'
ducing an effect on prices in France. Bat
supposing a temporary advance was thereby caused, still
the position of France is superior to that of other na-
tions. Not only are supplies meeted to succeed each
other with regularity, ke.lt the harvest will be, in 010
usual course of tb';ugs, a fortnight or three weeks at
least earlier then in England, Belgium, or Holland.
therefore, PQ demand were to arise from England
tending to advance prices, it might be considered pretty
certain that corn and flour would go no higher !a
France before the new harvest, and that the supply
until then is assured. Looking at
the general /11
of affairs during the week, we find in all the mm
ark"'
ro I-'aris a slight decline ; the supply is not large.
but purchases are made so cautiouLly that sewers
are obliged to lower their pretensions. In Normandy
prices are firm at former quotations, and the same is tb
je
eeee in the north; the conduct of the socials
an- de pay',"
thas
ante, in attempting to supply the markets,
we
keeping away the trade, has in no small degree, as
have stated on fcrmer occasions, contributed to this re.
salt. In Alsace and Lorraine prices are stationary in
some markets, but lower in the generality. In the Irfsalda
a decided fall has taken place. In Champagne con-
Burgundy prices are the same. but the quanbLY "f°oc-
t e
slimed appears to have diminished; indeed, this be
of a dimunition in the consumption appears so
remarked in most parts of the kingdom, partly owing( IL
the necessity of economy being more and lanrya„,..l
and partly from the coming in in abundance 0' srinaa
vegetables. The south is stationary ; Marseilles has
large arrivals, but no small quantity of grain has keen
taken off to Belgium and to England. Bordeaux
Bayonne maintain their former prices, but the tends lin
is rather downwards. Brittany is also' unchanged•dot
Paris prices have fallen. Scarcely any thing was
in wheat—Galignani's Messenger.

BRISTOL COUNTY COURT" rj,
IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE SDI 4

DEBTS ACT.
(From the Bristol Mercury.)
On Thursday last a case was tried in the Bristol

Court, t,a s whichstio

plaintiff could not divide his cause of action for the
pose of bringing two or more suits in this court ; erg,
that, if he brought one action, which must be for 11v1
exceeding 201., that such action must be in full of 5"
demands.
His Honour the judge (Arthur Palmer, junior, Eso
however, ruled that the objection could not be Oa;
tamed ; for that, as every order for, and delivery o'*
goods formed a separate cause of action, ft:
man might divide his demand into as many parts _
there were causes of action ; and, consequently':
if a customer owed a tradesman 100 L, or any larger anw,
for twenty or any other number of orders, neither ?,
which exceeded 20/., he might bring as many actions in
this Court as there were searate orders, or sePall"
cause of action, each under 20L, however large the aft
gregate might be. His Honour then referred to the 3bu_i_
George 111., c. 25, s. 89, whereby it is provided that no
cause of action shall be split or divided, so as to a tradeass.
made the ground of two or more different actions 1
shall not be lawful for any plaintiff to divide any
two. c
while by the 9th and 10th Victoria it is enacted that it
cause of action, for the purpose of bringing
more suits—which two enactments appeared to the judge
.
to be in effect the same. The first was passed derregn_
late the civil bill jurisdiction in Ireland, and un thel
Act it has been held in the case " Hamblin v. Hamblin,
an appeal before Bush, C.J., at the Dundalk summer
assize of 1833, that where two gales of rent were due,
which, taken together, amounted to a sum ex-
ceeding the jurisdiction, but taken separatelYt
were within the jurisdiction, that the plaintiff might
split the two gales of rent, and bring one action
for one and another action for the other ; that it had
also been held by M'Cleland, Baron, at the Ortnagh
spring assizes, that where two processes had been
brought, even at the same sessions, each for 71., the one
for a half-year's rent, due May, and the other for another
half-year's rent, due out of the same holding, at Novem-
ber following, the plaintiff was entitled to a decree in
each case, and the Learned Baron affirmed both
on appeal ; so, at the Lifford summer assizes,
Pennetather, Baron, decided that where A lent
B a sum of money, and about four months after
lent him another sum of money, A might sue for each
sum in separate action, even after both the sums were due.
Thus, said his Honour, it is quite clear that, in this
case, the plaintiff is entitled to split his bill or account.
although amounting to upwards of 601., into separate
causes of action, not exceeding 201., and bring separate
actions in this Court for each part. But his Ilen°tle
observed that this law did not depend on Irish decisions.
for in England the same principle had been established
by Lord Tenterden, C.J., in the case of the Ifing
against the sheriff of Hertfordshire ; in 1 Barni:
well and Adolphus, 672, the case—A became the
debted to B in a sum not exceeding 40s. for
f
•
carriage of a parcel of goods, and in the month Aafte r
wards incurred another debt to B, not exceeding -"Or
to
the carriage of a second parcel ; A brought two sepal:6_o
actions in the County Courts, each for one of these
debts, and it was urged by counsel that these two itef'd''
must be considered as constituting one entire debt, 6ro.
that, therefore, the plaintiff had HO right to split the,ron
mand. But Lord Tenterden held that the causes of OP
were distinct, and that A was entitled to ato sere
rately for each demand. His Lordship
