The Poisoning Case in Norfolk.

!DOCKING, Thurs,

Further proceedings took place to-day in regard to flag 1
charges of poisoning illegitimate children, preferred against 1
four persons, named John Grief, Susan Grief, Mary Grief,
and Sarah Grief. John Grief and Susan Grief are husband
and wife, and the two other prisoners are their daughters—

custody from Norwich
Castle, Wymondham Bride-
z

Bride-

Mr. Wilken, of Lynn, appeared for the prosecution;
and Mr. Ford, banister, instructed by Mr. Spanton, of
Hunstanton, for the prisoners. The magistrates present
were—Major Hare, Major Hollway, and Mr. C. F. N.
Rolfe.
Mr. Wilken, in commencing the proceedings, said he had
given the matter the best consideration, and he was not
prepared to press the charge against the prisoner John
Grief or his two daughters ; but he should ask for the com-
mittal of Susan Grief, the grandmother of the deceased
children, on the charge of poisaning them. These remarks
applied to the children Ann Maria Grief and Alfred Grief.
It was important to show a motive for the act imputed to
the remaining prisoner, and in this case the children who
had died were &burden to the household, in which there were
already eight legitimate children ; they had also never been
affiliated. As regards the third child Jemima Grief, who
died in 1860, little more than a quantity of mould had been
found in the coffin, and the analysis would be a work of
considerable time; it had not yet been completed by Mr.
Sutton, and he should not refer further to that branch cf
the subject at present. As regards the remaining prisoner
he should be in a position to offer very strong evidence.
The depositions of various witnesses examined on pre-
vious occasions were read over. The first deposition was
that of Mrs. Pitcher, of Shernborne, who stated the cir-
cumstances which attended the death of the child Alfred
Grief, which she attributed to poison. The seconddeposi-
tion was that of Mr. T. . Kendall, surgeon, of Lynn, who
confirmed the conclusion. The third deposition was that
of Mr. Sutton, analytical chemist, of Norwich, who stated
he had found arsenic in the body of the deceased child.
The fourth deposition was that of W. Howard, policeman,
who said the prisoner Susan Grief had said to him, with-
out his saying anything to call for the remark, "I know
you suspect me of poisoning the child, but if I have to suf-
fer for it 1 don't care a about it." This witness also
said that he found a packet of arsenic lying on the top of
the bed in which Susan Grief and her husband slept.
The prisoners Sarah and Mary Grief, and John Grief
were then set at liberty. Svi3h Grief wap told, however, to

remain in the neighbourhood, in order, if necessary, she
might be called as a witness.
Mr. Groom, registrar, proved that the death of Alfred
Grief was registered on Nov. 7. Death was attributed to
diarrhoea, and it was registered accordingly, with the re-
mark, "No medical attendant." On April 16, 186,1, he re-
gistered the death of Ann Maria Grief, child of S.trah Grief.
The cause vas attributed to inflrmmation of the lung

Mrs. Pitcher, on bring further examined, said when site
went to register the death of Sarah Griel's child in April,
Sarah Grief accompanied her. Witness was not told to
assign any cause of death. Sarah Grief 'described the
symptoms, and Mr. Groom said, "Do you think it was in-
flammation ?" Sarah Grief s tid "Yes, it was." Witness
supposed that inflammation of the lungs was meant by
this. Witness wont to register the death of Sarah Grief's
child by the prisoner's direction. _ _ _

Mr. Rose, superintendent of police for the Docking dis-
trict, said he was present at the coroner's inquest on the
body of Alfred Grief on the 12th and 22d of Nova The
prisoner was present and made a statement. The coroner
duly cautioned her, but she made and signed the follow-
ing statement, which was put down in writ'ng:—" I am
mother of Mary Grief, and the grandmother of the child
Alfred Grief, whosa body the coroner and jury have seen.
I remember the child being taken ill on Saturday evening.
I found him sick when I went to look at him that night
as ho was in bad with the other children. I never gave
him, or any of the other children, any:medicine whatever.
I was present when the police found the parcel of white
powder now produced. I don't know how it came there.

I never saw it before. I never knew my husband to bring
arsenic unto the house. He is occasionally employed in
dressing sheep for other people, but he always mixes the
stuff at the house of the people where he is employed. I
sent my daughter some time since to Mr. (lowing's, the
chemist, for some arsenic to kill mice with, but she did not
get it there, and I never got it from anywhere else."
Tho deposition of MissMarriette Morden, schoolmistress
at Sherborne, taken at a previous stage of the inquiry, was
read. It stated that the child Alfred Grief suffered from
frequent sickness on the last day he attended school, and
that he was sent home in consequence. The child seemed
pleased on the same day with a new frock which he said
his mother had given him. Miss Mordon also deposed
that she sent the child home—that is, to the prisoner's—
but to her surprise he returned to school in the afternoon,
when he was again very sick.
Wm. Wicks, of Lynn, deposed—l am groom and coach-
man to Mr. Kendall, surgeon, of that town. I took a jar
containing viscera to the Lynn Hospital. My master gave
it to me. It was a sealed jar, and I took it to Mr. Wilson's
bed-room at the hospital, as he was not out of bed. Mr.
Wilson is house-surgeon at the hospital: This was some
time in November, on a Monday. On the previous day I
had driven Mr. Kendall to Sherborne and back. On com-
ing away he put into his carriage the jar, which I after-
wards took to Mr. Wilson.
Wm. Howard deposed—The prisoner had told him when
he called upon her that she had sometimes given the child
a piece of something to eat—sometimes one thing and
sometimes another. She then made the remark as to her
being suspected of poisoning the child, and that if she
suffered she did not care for it.
Mr. F. Sutton, analytical chemist, of Norwich, deposed
—The arsenic which I found in the body of the deceased
child Alfred Grief could not have been mixed with any-
thing else ; certainly not with spirits of tar such as is used
in sheep-dressing. I analysed the powder found on the
prisoner's bed, and discovered it to be arsenic—the ordi-
nary arsenic of commerce. It was also precisely the same
kind of arsenic I found in the body of the deceased child.
I found three particles of undissolved arsenic in the body
of the deceased. We always look for undissolved arsenic,
and in this case I found it on the coats of the stomach. I
removed it with my finger and also with a feather. las-
certained the presence of dissolved arsenic in the stomach

by means of hydrochloric acid.
Mrs. Pitcher, recalled, stated that the prisoner was the
mother of 12 children, and they were nearly all at home in
November. There were also two illegitimate children of
the eldest daughter in the house at the time. Ono ille-
gitimate child of ono of the daughters is still living. Cross-
examined- - All the prisoner's own children had lived, and
all but three are earning their own living.
Superintendent Roso said, on the 12th of November,
when the prisoner was apprehended, she said, " I have
been troubled with children all my lifetime; they have
kept me in great poverty, and if you were to look in my
house now you would not find a piece of bread." Tho re-
mark was made quite voluntarily by the prisoner, and was
not the result of any observation made by witness.
The deposition of Mr. Gowing, chemist, of Snettisham,
taken at a previous stage of the inquiry, was put in and
read. It stated that on the 26th of October, William
Grief, commonly called " Valentine Grief," came to wit-
ness's shop and bought some arsenic. Mary Grief told
witness that her child died from cholera; and that she had
told the registrar that it was diarrhoea. She showed sor-
row for the death of the child.

Tho evidence was proceeding when this account was de-
spatched.

(By Telegraph.)
The prisoner Susan Grief was committed for trial on the
charge of poisoning both children.

The Late Gale.

TEIGNMOUTH, Jan. 9.

This morning (states Mr. G. P. 11. Rowell)
information was brought here that a large vessel
was on shore near the Parson and Clerk rocks. It
was blowing a heavy gale from the S.W. at the
time. The lifeboat China, belonging to the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution, was thereupon about to
be launched, when fortunately the vessel got clear,
and was observed to be standing out. Shortly after-
wards a bark made for the harbour with a signal,of
distress flying in the rigging. The lifeboat was
then launched and proceeded to the vessel, shipping
some heavy seas as she crossed the bar, of which,
however, she readily relieved herself. On arriving
alongside they found she was a Norwegian bark,
bound to France, with timber. The master had
' quite lost his reckoning, and, as his ship was rapidly
drifting tokleeward, he was of course anxious to get
into a port of safety, and a steamtug went to his
assistance.

HOLYHEAD, Jan. N.

Last night again this port was visited by a severe
storm. On the 3d the wind was west ; then it
veered gradually from west to south. Yesterday
and last night it turned to east and north-east,which
is its direction at present. Several of the large fleet
of vessels that left this port on Thursday last have
been lost on the Irish coast and the Isle of Man.
About 30 vessels reached the harbour of ref lige yes-
terday and last night.
FERRYSIDE, CARMARTHEN BAY, Jan. 9.

Intelligence was received here yesterday (says
Capt. Arengo Cross) that a ship was on shore on
the Middle Match, on Carmarthen Bar. It was
blowing strong at the time from the westward, with
occasional heavy squalls. The City of Manchester
lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was
launched, and proceeded towards the wreck. On
nearing the spot it was observed that there was a
signal of distress flying on the only mast standing,
that her hull was underwater, and that two men were
clinging to the masthead. As there were portions of
wreck washing about in the vicinity of the vessel, the
lifeboat experienced some difficulty in getting along-
side, but after repeated attempts she succeeded in
effecting a communication and rescued the two poor
fellows, who were much exhausted. They were safely
anded on shore, and are now doing well. One of
them was the mate, who stated that his vessel was
the schooner Gem, of Hull, bound from Greenock
for Southampton, laden with pig iron and machi-
nery. Owing to the extremely boisterous state of
the weather the Gem had lost all her sails but one,
and, the master mistaking the Caldy light for St.
Anne's, she had gone on the sands about midnight
