POISONING CASE AT LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
This forenoon the inquest upon the body of Mrs.
Ann James, who is said to have died from the
ffects of antimony, supposed to have been admi-
nistered by Thomas Winslow, who resided with
the deceased, was proceeded with before the borough
coroner.

The case is fraught with more than usual inte-
rest, in consequence of its being suspected that the
sister of the deceased, Mrs. Townshend, and two
nephews, also died from the effects of antimony, re -
s-pectiv( ly in September, December, and January
last. The will of the deceased, Mrs. James, was
made jointly in favour of Winslow and her deceased
relatives.

Mr. Cobb, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Wins-
low, and stated that '..te had only that morning been
retained. Ile therefore applied for an adjourn-
ment, in order that he might have an opportunity
of conferring with his client (who was now in cus-
tody, on remand, by the magistrates), or otherwise
to enable him to make an application to the magis-
trates to allow Winslow to be present at this in-
quiry.

After some discussion between the coroner and
Mr. Cobb (the former remarking that it was most
unfair for evidence of so serious a character to be
given behind a prisoner's back), Mr. Cobb retired
for the purpose above stated, and an adjournment
for a short time took place.
Considerable delay having taken place,
Inspector Horn, of the detective force, entered
the Court, and stated that the magistrates had re-
fused Mr. Cobb's application to allow Winslow to
be present, eves though in the custody of an officer.
Dr. Edwards, analytical chemist, Dr. Cameron,
and several other witnesses were present, including
a chemist, from whom the accused had purchased
antimony, but in consequence of Dr. Edwards
stating that he had not yet completed his analysis,
but would do so this evening, and it also appearing
that the chemist, although morally certain of Wins-
low's identity, still wished to see him before he
swore positively, the coroner said it was advisable
again to adjourn the inquiry until to-morrow, re-
marking that the necessity of adjournment arose to
a great extent from the absence of the accused.
The investigation was adjourned accordingly till
to-morrow. We learn that the authorities are in
communication with the Home Secretary, with a
view to the exhumation of the bodies of the sister
and two nephews of the deceased.
