THREE BROTHERS POISONED BY A SISTEII.—The
Wexford Independent of Wednesday states that an Friday last three
brothers, named James, John, and Michael Cullen, residing at Kyle,
died from the effects of arsenic,, which they had taken that morning
in their breakfast. An inquest was held, and the jury returned the
following verdict:—" We find the deceased came by their deaths in
consequence of having taken poison in stirabout, but how or by what
means administered we are unable to say." On Tuesday, however,
the mystery was cleared up by the confession of Mary Cullen, the
unmarried sister of the unfortunate young men deceased, that she wait
the pergon who pat the poison into the food by which they came by
their deaths. Suspicion of her guilt having arisen, head constable
Nicholson, and some of the police under his direction, proceeded from
Wexford to make inquiry. In the mean time, George Le Hunt.
Esq., J.P., and Samuel Tench, Esq., J P., were brought to the house
to examine her. In reply to the questions put-to her by the magi*.
trates, In the presence of bead constable Nicholson. she confessed
that the had put the poison into the water in the pt. t, before the meal
was put on to make the stirabont. She did so, she said, at a time
when her mother had her back turned. She stated that she had
procured poison twice for the purpose—first in last March, and again
more recently. She had procured it on both occasions by baying she
wanted It for the destruction of rats. The magistrates, having re-
ceived her confession, immediately made out her committal, and she
WAS forthwith brought in custody to Wexford gaol, and ftlly coin-
mitted to abide her trial at the uex assizes.

the Cheshire side, and outward bound the Lancashire side. It was agreed that a communication should be made to the dock committee,
and also to Sir G. Clerk, who is about to bring in a Bill as to the
regulation of steam-vessels. There was a dividend of 2001. given
against the Sea Nymph in Liverpool, thus making a total deodand of
7001. This will, there can be little doubt, decide the question also as
to the repair of the Rambler, and it is rumoured that there is an in-
tention on the part of the owners of the Sea Nymph to resist the
claim. Both vessels are now ready for sea again. About 1601. have
been subscribed for the relief of the sufferers who survived the
collision.
