BOY ACCIDENTALLY POISONED.-A Case 01 ac-
cidental poisoning occurred at Little Clacton last week, a
boy named George Jeffries, aged eight years, the son of a
rat-catcher of that place, having drunk in a mistake for
beer from a bottle containing a solution of arsenic used for
destroying rats, which his father had incautiously placed
within reach in the house. The child was immediately
seized with the usual symptoms of poisoning, front the
effects of which he died on Saturday, notwithstanding the
exertions of Messrs. Manthorp, surgeons, to save his life.
On the 6th inst, an inquest was held by W. Codd, Esq.,
coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of " Died from
incautiously drinking solution of arsenic."--Essex Herald
