.EXTRAORDINARY CONF.ESSION.

At Newport, ;Monmouthshire, on Friday, a boy named
Charles Gritt made the extraordinary statement that he
poisoned Miss Emily Collier, the daughter of Mr. Collier,
oil merchant, Dock-street, Newport, on Easter Monday
last. So far as can be ascertained, it appears that Gritt
was taken from the Caerleon Industrial Schools by Mr.
Collier, and on Easter Monday be offered Miss Collier
some wheat, a portion of which she ate. She
told her mother the boy had given her some wheat,
and said it tasted very nasty. She was told to throw it in
the fire, which she did, and it was noticed that it emitted
A peculiar flame. In the evening she was taken ill,
and next day Dr. Brewer was cent for, but be at once
pronounced her case hopeless, as paralysis of the brain
bad set in, and on the following Thursday she died. Mrs.
Collier, it has transpired, had an idea that her daughter
did not die a natural death, still not the remotest suspicion
ever crossed the minds of the family that she had been
poisoned. Mr. Collier had some fowls in his possession,
all of which died in a very strange manner just about
the same time. Gritt said en Friday that he
managed to get some poisoned wheat from the
Caerleon schools, which Ile gave to Miss Collier,
and he also admits having poisoned the fowls.
There is no doubt that he also attempted to poison the
eldest son of Mr. Collier, as he was ill for about a week
about the time his sister died. The medical man who
attended the deceased has been consulted, and he says
her symptoms were such as might result from poison.
The boy has absconded since making the confession, but it
is expected that the police will secure him in the course of
a few days. No motive is assigned for his conduct, Mr.
Collier and his family having always behaved most kindly
to him.
