THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEAT

OF MR. NELME IN HACKNEY.
Yesterday afternoon the inquiry was resumed for
the sixth time, before Mr. Baker, Church-street,
Hackney, on the body of Mr. Nelme, aged 73 years,
who died on the 27th ult , from the effects of arsenic.
Mr. Ballantine again attended on behalf of the
family.
Mrs. Mary Louisa Allnutt, a widow, stated that
she was the daughter of the deceased, and resided at
her father's late residence in Grove-place, Hackney.
Her son, William Allnutt, had a severe fall when he
was eighteen months old, and afterwards suffered
f; om inflammation on the brain. He had since had
bad health, and frequently complained of his head.
Witness had seen a great alteration in his conduct
during the last seven months. The witness then
repeated the evidence respecting the deceased being
shot at in his garden on the night of the 16th of
September last, which has already been reported.
She further stated, that about three weeks since her
son asked her what arsenic was like, and she told him
it was like flour. Witness vomited very much on
Tuesday evening, before the death of the deceased,
after she had sweetened some gruel with sugar con-
tained in the vase, and swallowed it.
By a Juror—The cupboard where the vase was
kept was generally left open. She recollected the
sovereigns being missed, and her son afterwards con-
fessed to have stolen them, for the purpose of buying
a watch.
By Mr. Ballantine—Her husband had been dead
about two years. He suffered very much from his
head, epilepsy came on, and he ultimately died in se
state of insanity.
Inspector Walker, in answer to a question put to
him by Mr. Ballantine, said that when he appre-
hended William Allnut, he said, "Pray forgive me.
I was tempted to do it." 'Witness asked him who
tempted him, and he said no person tempted him, but
a voice appeared to him to say, "Do it, do it, you will
not be discovered."
The CORONER then summed up at great length, and
said he had never been called upon to perform a duty
so painful as in the present case, when a mother had
been compelled to give evidence against her own son.
The jury retired, and, after a short deliberation,
returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
Allnutt, and the Coroner issued his warrant
for his committal to Newgate. The witnesses were
then bound over to prosecute.
