tirely accidental, that the poisoning (arsenic, of vibied
Page used a quantity for sheep-washing, &c.) was lard lo'
closet in the kitchen, where the tea-things used to stall 00
thus became, probably mixed with the sugar, tbe
being disturbed in looking for something else. Alic,„,oft,
arsenic, which Mr. Page's shepherd had given to hts
in October last, was found in this closet. Provide
there have been no more deaths.—Norfolk Chronicle.
