MELANCHOLY CASE OF POISONING. -011
Saturday an Inquest was held before Charles Jemmett, Esq.,
Coroner for Surrey, at the Noah's Ark tavern, Rotherhithe, on
the body of Susannah Baldwin, aged 16 years, who died in c3n-
sequence of taking poison. The deceased was a very pretty
girl, as remarkable for her correct conduct as for her lively and
amiable disposition. She had resided with her uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrs. Pitt, of Rotherhithe; for some years, and was
treated as one of their own children. On Thursday,' the 21st
inst., a quarrel took place between Mr. and Mrs. Pitt, during
which Mrs. Pitt insinuated to her husband that his affections
were estranged from her, and that he had formed an improper'
intimacy with her niece. Mr. Pitt replied, that he was not
surprised at any thing, however monstrous. which her jealous
disposiiion.might imagine. The deceased 'heard the dreallful
accusation of her aunt, and appeared overwhelmed with agony.
.—On the following morning she sent one of the servants to a
chymist's for two pennyworth of oil of vitriol; under the pre-
tence that it was to be used for cleaning-some of the culinary
utevsils. As soon as the liquid was brought, she wept to the
back of the house and drank it, and, on entering the house
again, she threw down the empty. cup. The servant said,—
" Gorr] God ! you have not drank rt ?" She replied,' " Yes, I
have drank it all ; I have been accused of what -I
am not guilty
of; I cannot prove my innocence—l must die, and I will die."
Her uncle 'and aunt were informed of the shocking event, and
they were inconsolable. A medical gentleman was called 'in,
who administered an antidote. She lingered till Thursday night
last, and then expired. On her body being opened, the coat
of the stomach was found to be -destroyed, and her intestines
in a state of mortification. The Jury returned a verdict of—
" Died from taking poison, being in a state of ,temporary men-
tal derangement at the time." ,

SWINDLING.—A number of inkeepers and wine
and spirit merchants of Southwark, have been the victims of a
scandalous fraud practised upon them during the last week..
A person took a house in High-street, Southwark, in a ficti-
tious name,. and opened shop as a seller of roasted corn, by
wholesale and retail. He made a great display, and, his stock,
which appeared to consist of between 20 and 30 sacks of the
roasted vegetable, were in fact nothing more than sacks filled
with saw-dust and shavings, having a little of the corn placed
at the top: A shrewd lad was put into the shop, who had been
well trained to the part he had to perform. the •corn-roaster
called upon the innkeepers, and ordered at each place two gal-
lons of gin, and one of rum, and said the money would be paid
on delivery;••When the liquor was sent, the lad in the shop
said his master was just gone out, but would be back in a.
short time, and requested the party to leave the liquor and call
again for .the money. The spirits being left,*they were carried'
away through the back door, and the publicans were laughed
at on:calling again for the money. Application was made by
the sufferers at Union-hall Police-office, but the magistrates
had no power to grant them redress. An officer was dispatched
to the shop, and at that instant six gallons of spirits were
brought by two publicans, who were happy•at receiving timelY
information of the fradulent transaCtion,- and carried their li-
quor back- The expose made to the police induced the swind-
lers to close their shop on Friday, and to decamp.—(Sunday
