CHARGE OF ADMINISTERING, A NOXIOUS

DRUG TO A FEMALE.

Mr Woolrych resumed an important investigation yes-
terday at the Thames Police-court arising out of a very
serious charge made against William Harding, aged
59, of administering a noxious drug to a married woman
named Isabella Tuson, better known as Miss George, of the
Alhambra Theatre and Music Hall, Shoreditch, with intent,
&c. The unfortunate woman a few days since gaffe birth
to a child at her dwelling, No. 28, John-street, Stepney, and
died immediately afterwards. The child was prematurely
born dead. The evidence only went to show the sudden
illness and death of the unfortunate woman, and that the
prisoner had visited her several times shortly before her
death, and that in her dying agony she took his hand,
pressed it, and put it cm her chest. A large quantity of
brandy was administered to the deceased on the day she
expired. The prisoner, when she was dying, said, "You
have loft it too late; you should have sent to me before."
When the poor creature died he said he should return, and
left the house, He never called afterwards. He was seen
in the Alhambra Theatre while "Miss George" was per-
forming. The deceased had been long separated from her
husband. John Cook, a detective of the K division, appre-
hended the prisoner inWindsor-terrace,City-road, on Tuesday
night. The prisoner was described as a retir3d medical prac-
titioner. Ho told him the charge, and he said nothing in reply.
Evidence was given of the ♦isits of the deceased to the pri-
soner at his house and to his visiting her at her dwelling ;
and that the deceased said to a Mrs Mitchell, after one of her
visits to the prisoner, in allusion to her pregnancy, " Oh, it
will be stopped ;" and it is believed she was then taking
some deleterious drug. Miss Laura Stevens, whose profes-
sional nom de guerre is Madame Lorenzya, said she was a
performer at the Alhambra, and deposed to the visits of the
prisoner to the deceased. Mr Stoddart, solicitor for the pri-
soner, maintained there was not a tittle of evidence to im-
plicate the prisoner in any immorality or criminality what,
ever. Gook, the detective, produced three powders ho found
in the room where the woman died, and a Dr Mahoney, who
saw the body after death, thought there was something
suspicious in them. Mr Woolrych: That amounts to nothing
at all.
