THE CASE OF POISONING A.T

- -
BROMLEY.
The inquiry into this mysterious affair was again resumed
on Friday, at the Swan inn, Bromley, by Mr. Climax. th•
Coroner.

Before any evidence was adduced, the Coroner made a
private communication to the jury, and the particulars were of
course not allowed to transpire.
When the public were admitted, Sergeant King, of the R.
division of police, was examined, and he deposed, that shortly
after the death of the deceased, he was summoned to attend at
she chapel, after the service, and he had a communication with
the Rev. Mr. Verrell, and some other gentlemen belonging to
the chapel, and they gave him the names of some persons whom
they believed might know something of the matter, and be
said they appeared very anxious to give him all the assistance
in their power.
Mr. Bergley was re-called, and he said he wished to state that,
although when he was before summoned, he had denied that
any meeting of the heads of the chapel was held upon the sub-.
ject of the death of the deceased, he now wished to state that
he recollected that there was such a meeting, and that Sergeant
King was sent for.

The Coenstea said that both the witness and Mr. Verrell
had stated most positively, on the previous occasion, that a
such meeting took place.
Mr. Bergley admitted it was so; but he was now equally po-
sitive that there was a meeting.
Sergeant King, in answer to a question from the Coronet:,
said he had frequently seen the deceased walking in the town,
and on a Sunday evening shortly before her death he saw her
walking with a man, but he could not identify that person.
Mrs. Field deposed that she was on very intimate terms with
the deceased, and that she was in the habit of visiting at her
husband's house in London. In the course of the year 1813,
she obsers ed that the deceased appeared to increase in size, but
she had not the least suspicion that she was in the family way.
The CORONER asked the witness whether the deceased had
ever informed her of there being any intimacy between her and
any young man ?—The witness replied that she did not.
Mr. Field, her husband, produced a letter which he received
from the Rev. Mr. Verrell on the 9th of November,three days
after the death of the deceased. The letter was read. It was'
to the effect that they had been plunged into the depth of
'''trouble by the death of their dear young friend, Itarriet Monk-
ton !wing found dead under such circumstances as to require
a coroner's jury to he assembled, and that they had adjourned
in order that there might be a post-mortem examination to as-
certain whether she had taken any drug to produce her death.
The letter went, on to say " We are of opinion that her death
was occasioned by a fit. caused by the. oteitement of her having
obtained a situation after havi% been so long without one.
The enemies of the cross in this place of abounding
infidelity and high thuseniarn are alert, and in the event of it
turning out that she 1119 taken anything improper, we hope
you will pray that the blame may not fall on our dear Zion's
cause." The letter then went on to say that the writer had
evidence to give of the strong mental excitement that the de-
ceased had exhibited for some time, but of course he should
not giro that evidence unless lie was called upon to do so.
The reading of this extraordinary document oteasioned con-
siderable sensation in the court.
The CORONUR asked Mr. Field what he understood by the
words " The enemies of the cross," and he replied that he was
not able to give any explanation, and the Coroner was as able
to form a conclusion respecting the meaning of tbem as he was.
At this stage of the inquiry the Coroner held a long private
communication with Mr. Superintendent Pierce, who pre-
viously had the case in hand, and upon, his return to the in-
quest-room, the further proceedings were shortly afterwards
again adjourned; and, upon the, next inquiry, it is expected.
that some important evitlene, will be adduced.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. Howley had
a dinner party, on Thursday last, at Lambeth Palace. The 'Venerable
Archbishop completed his 10th year that day.
A petition, praying for total and immediate repeal of
the corn-laws, and signed by upwards of 300 watchmakers of Clerken-
well, was presented last night by Mr. Wakley.
Sir Benjamin Brodie has resigned his place on the
Examining board, and, we presume, the Council of the College of
iurgeons of England.—Chronicle.

LONDON FEVER .I.IO6PITAL.-011 Friday the general
meeting of the supporters of this hospital was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, the Earl if Devon in the chair.
From the report made by Dr. Southwtmd Sinith,jt appeared that
the number of patients remaining under treatment on the 31st of
December, 1844, was 63, since which time '359 had-beep admitted.
making a total of 610. Of that number 451 had been discharged,
77 had died, and 14 bad been sent to other hospitals, leaving under
treatment 68. Fever had not been so prevalent in the metropolis
during the past ea in the preceding year, when the number of admis-
sions was 686, More than one fifth of the patients had been received
from the City of London Union at Peckham, which, being the most
eccessible of the poor-houses, was crevrded to excess. The number
of deaths was rather higher than in 1844. The subscriptions, Ste.,
in support of the hospital amounted to 1,2541., and the expenditure
to 161. lOs. The report having been adopted, and the Earl of Devon
re-elected President, the meeting separated.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM AT NORWICH GAOL.—Captain
William.s, the Government inspector of prisone, has during the past
week paid as a visit ; and having found out. in the inspection of the
city gaol, that the dietary which the Government had recommended
to N adopted, was net adhered to, has informed the magistrates,
through the clerk of the peace, that a mandamus would issue against
them, because they had not enforced it. Whether the _Norwich
magistrates will try the question as to the authority of Captain
Williams or the Secretary of Mate to interfere in Norwich remains
to be seen. They threaten to detend themselves if a mandamus
should issue, and they will plead that the reason is, the
1, dietary recommended by the Government is not suitable, and
would destroy the health and jeopardise the lives of the
1 prisoners. This, it seems, is the opinion of Mr. Nichols, the
surgeon of the gaol ; and the magistrates refuse to adept the
1 dietary, as it is in the face of the opinion of their surgeon. It.
I should not he forgotten that the eounty magistrates, two years
I since, had similar objection', but they have given way some twelve
months ago ; and it is perhaps remarkable, that Slone of the pil-
-1 Boners in the Castle are yet dead from too much food ! Captain
Williams's report of this visit may, when it appears, be interesting iu
I another respect. The governor of the Norwich gaol, Mr. S. Wilde,
received a severe reprimand for the treatment of some convict girls,
who a few days since were sent away to the receiving prison in Lon-
' don. They were altogether unmanageable, and by their manners
amid disgeating conversation, drove the matron and female turnkey
from the ward. At length, when it could be borne uo longer, and they
having refused to go to their rooms when ordered, the male turnkey
took the cat-o'-iene-tails, rushed upon them, and gave them
several suniewhat severe lathes, driving them into their day-room.,
and then confining them in different cells. Here the shrieks
per-
eons
hallooing, shouting, &c., alarmed the neigbourhoods,elver.
