ILA The Committee of Shareholders dire.ct the attention of the
Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors
of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders
for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in
the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf-
ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im-
pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which
would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab-
lished dividend-paying company.
There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with
the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the
Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the
Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of
the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar-
rangement.
The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object,
and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the
meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the project to do so,
accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the
advantage of amalgamation.
It Is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the
meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a
friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the
Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H.

PhiHipps:No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before THURSDAY next
when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme•
diately after the meeting.

that a cause so great could only be adjudicated by the less

THE POISONING CASE AT BIR-

MINGHAM.

BIRMIIWHAM, MAY 25.—This morning Mary Ann Lawless
was placed at the bar, before the sitting magistrates at the
Public Oface, on the charge of attempting to poison her hus-
band and two other persons. The first witness called was
the husband of the prisoner, who stated that en Tuesday
afternoon last a Mrs. Murray called in at his house, and his
wife being then out, he asked her to sit down and. wait,
which she did. Shortly after that the accused came in with
some soft soap in her hand, and went up stairs, tell-
ing witness to make the tea. He refused, asking his
wife to do it, and at the same time invited Mrs.
Murray, who had a child about two years eld with
her, to stop to tea. A young man, a friend of
the parties, was also in the room. The pris m

tea, but, on making some more, witness observed his
wife take from her breast a small paper packet, which he
thought at the time was tea, and, having poured the con-
tents into the teapot, she threw the paper into the fire, and,
having poured some more water into the teapot, dealt out
another cup of tea to the other parties and herself, but did
not drink more than two spoonfuls of it. Witness and
Mrs. Murray, while drinking their cup of tea, found that it
burned their mouths and throats, and asked the prisoner if
she tasted anythingthe matter with it, to which she replied
that she had made it strong. In the course of a few minutes
the witness, Mrs. Murray, and her child, who had also
partaken of
the tea, were all suddenly seized with violent
sickness, pains in the stomach, and burning heat in the
throat.

to the state in which he found them, and the remedies he
applied.
Mr. Woolrycb, a practical chemist, deposed to having
analysed a portion of fluid ejected by the husband of the
accused, which he found strongly impregnated with arsenic,
and also found a small portion adhering to the sides of the
teapot,

An assistant to Mr. Brewett, chemist and druggist, said
he supplied the prisoner with a pennyworth of soft soap and
a pennyworth of arsenic on Tuesday afternoon last, a short
time previous to the administration of poison to the com-
plaining parties, the prisoner stating that she wanted it kr
the purpose of mixing it with the soft soap to clean bed-
steads with.

After hearing the evidence of the police officer who ap-
prehended the prisoner, when she said it was only a bad job
he (the husband) was not dead, the prisoner was committed
to take her trial at the next assizes for the county of
Warwick.

The only cause that can be assigned for the commission of
this wholesale attempt at poisoning is the unhappy way in
which the prisonerand her husband lived together.

COMFORT in SHAVING depends on the

The engineering evidence wag proceeded with.

Mr. Bendel, engineer, examined—The whole cost of the line, with
its branches, was 67 miles, 1 furlong, and the estimate of the whole
works was 806,0321. There were no engineering difficulties of any
magnitude, and in his opinion, the estimates were quite sufficient to
construct the works.

witness.

GROUP XXXI.

The Committee recumed the investigation of this scheme this
morning, and were occupied during a considerable portion of the day
in hearing discussions on various clauses in the Bill. No feature of
any public interest was elicited, as the opposition was confined exclu-
sively to the clauses, and involved only local claims.
