POISONING IN SUFFOLK.—A case of poisoning
under somewhat remarkable circumstances is at present
undergoing investigation by the coroner for West Suffolk.
Mr. Nunn, a farmer of Genevieve, has in his service two
persons named Hawkins and Curtis, the former in the
capacity of farm bailiff, and the other a labourer. It would
appear from the evidence that Hawkins had gone, by per-
mission, to a flour-bag in Curtis's house, for the purpose of
borrowing some flour. On the following day, a pudding
having been made by Curtis's wife of flour from the same
bag, all of those who partook of it were taken ill, and one
poor boy died soon after. Arsenic was discovered by the
be
surgeon to be the cause of death, and the difficulty to
solved is how the poison came to be mixed with the flour.
Judging from what has transpired, it appears as if it h_d
been done deliberately and with a murderous desaig% _ In
the meantime an adjournment has taken place, to saw d an
opportunity of bringing forward further evidence. .

Rothwaite, in Borrowdale, and there encountered a sharp
shower of rain and hail, accompanied with excessive cold;
this, doubtless,. was the same fall which had covered the
higher mountain, but converted into rain by the warmer
temperature of the valley. This fact may be worthy of
notice, as the driver informed me that it was on the 22d of
October last year that he observed the first snow on Hel-
vellyn, and it was the 14th of June before the last vestige
had disappeared. This year it has made its appearance a
fortnight earlier; let us hope that its duration will not be
so long by some two or three niontlas.'.
