good spirits, but complained of pains in the leg. ller
sister purchased a pennyworth of pills for her, which
she took, and then retired to bed. At six o'clock the
following morning deceased was very ill; her husband
got up, and brought deceased into their bed, when she
placed her arms round his neck, and said, " Oh! father,
let me die," and expired soon afterwards. Witness

light upon this mysterious case, and the jury returned a
verdict, " That deceased died from arsenic, but how it
came into her stomach there was no evidence to prove.'
