M.XTRAORDINARY BASE OF POISONING. liA
Thursday night last a whole family,. residing in Drury-
court, Strand, were in danger of being poisoned. It ap-
peared that the son of a mechanic named Nottage went
out for some beer, and when he was returning he and
another lad quarrelled, and the latter, having some red
precipitate powder in his hand, threw some of it into the
beer. Young Nottage went home, and his mother and
other members of the family partook of the drink. In a
short time Mr. Nottage was alarmed to find that hie
wife, his two sons, and a grandchild wore dangerously ill,
and he accordingly had them all removed to the hospital,
where remedies were instantly and effectually applied.
The matter is in the hands of the police.
