A CARELESS, .POISON SELLER.,

Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner for Essex, has just cen'' •
eluded an inquest at the Railway Hotel, Martin-street,
Stratford, into the circumstances of the death of ThomaS
Ricks, who lived at 82, Angel-lane, Stratford, and who
died on Sunday, the 2flth of July. The deceased had been
for nearly thirty years in the service of Messrs. Volck-
man and Sons, the confectioners. His landlady, Mrs.
Smart, procured, as she thought, some milk of sulphur
from Mrs. Hills', a chemist's shop inHigh-street, Stratford,
some of which was given to the deceased, who was suffer-
ing from rheumatism. In the early part of the Sunday
he was found to be suffering from the effects, of some irri-
tant poison which corresponded with the effect of
nitrate of baryta on the human frame, and from which
ho undoubtedly died. As he had lived in the house
of a Mrs. Smart, whose daughter was jointly entitled
with the deceased to a considerable sum of money,
some suspicion arose as to the cause of death, con-
sidering its suddenness and his previous good health.
Mrs. Hills, who had previously stated that she had no
baryta in her shop, was recalled, and persisted in
her averment. After a lengthened deliberation, the
following special verdict was returned t " That the
deceased William Hicks died from the effects of baryta
Accidentally sold by Mrs. Hills to Mrs. Smart as flour of
sulphur. The jury are unanimously of opinion that Mrs.
Smart is entirely exonerated from all blame, and that
gross carelessness existed on the part of Mrs. Hills. The
jury also regret that Dr. Hamilton was not more prompt
in his attendance." The coroner very severely admo-
nished Mrs. Hills with respect to the statements she had
made as to her possession of green fire, or baryta, in any
form, and expressed his firm conviction of her unfitness to
keep a chemist's shop.

good work, looking and going first-class, but I think he
has too much to carry to have any chance of winning.
STANTON.-At Derby, in the Tradesmen's Plate, we have
Christmas Carol, Mrs. Allan, and Conundrum entered;
and should the first-nsmed be sent, he must be kept on
the right side. On Tuesday, Christmas Carol, Jezabel,
See-Saw, Fidelia, Batonnier, Mrs. Allan, and Stanton were
sent about two miles at a good pace. Salliet, Tarquin,
Lord of the Valley, Jove, Ben Block, and Palmitine west
a mile.

CHivrom.--On Wednesday Acts3a, M.A., Kicksy Wieksy,
and the Lifeboat filly went a good canter each of three-
quarters of a mile, all going free. Virginia Creep3r led
Tiger Tim the like distal:co twice, and then the old mare
was sent the two-mile gallop by herself, going bettor than
I ever saw her, the condition of the downs at present just
suiting her. 31. A. galloped half a mile by himself at his
best pace, and he will win a race before long. Clatford
has commenced work again by going acme rare mile
gallops, and I have no doubt ho will soon show us a bit of
his form.

EPSOM.—The Laird and Naming, from the Squire's,
continue to do good work, but until we have the weights
for the Cesarewitcb, and sea how they go on, it would be
unwise to say more. Nightingall is still busy with Perth,
Election, Little Go, and Glen Stuart, and; until they went
to Dover, Grand Duke, Otho, and Cecil. I think thi latter
will much improve on the form he showed in the Town
Plate. Northill, Lady Glencora, and Isabella have done
well from Potter's, and old Helice is gone to try lisq- for-
tune at Boulogne on Sunday. The Pitt Place team have
been very busy, and as several of them are ongagA at
Oxford, I expect they will be heard of to advantage in the
University city, particularly Faun, Heather Bell, and
David. At Canterbury we have Cecil and The Laird in
the East Kent Handicap, Bianca, Glenn:tore, and Nanny
Thormanby in the Two Year Old Stakes, and Queen E bba
in the Handicap Plate, on Tuesday; Isabella and False
Alarm in the Welter Cup, on Wednesday.

were maintained for a quarter of a mile, when The Spy
raced past Cap-a-Pie, taking a slight lead of Col. Pearson's
colt, the pair drawing clear of Blueskin, Viscount, and
Geant des Battailles, Charnwood being pulled into the
rear in company with Mysotis. Approaching the mile-
post Blueskin slightly headed Cap-a-Pie, and as they
traversed the plantation side he drew 'up to The Spy's
quarter, Cap-a-Pie going on third, Viscount next, with
the favourite and Mysotis still in the rear. About five
furlongs from home Blueskin got up to The Spy's head,
and Viscount simultaneously headed Cap-a-Pie, Charn-
wood at the same time threading his way out of the
ruck, so that when he entered the rails he occupied a
prominent position. When fairly in the straight Blue-
skin headed The Spy, the pair being now succeeded by
Viscount, Cap-a-Pie, Goant desßatailles, and Charnwood,
who were in compact order. Geant dos Batailles retir,rd
at the bend, Charnwood in the centre of the course then
drew up to Viscount, who took up the running as they
crossed the road, Lord Stamford's horse pulling double at
the head of the Whitewall representative for about 20
yards, when he suddenly retired, and it was afterwards
discavered that he had broken a blood vessel. Viscount
was now left with a clear lead of Blueskin and Cap a Pie,
the latter of whom headed Mr Savile's horse within the
distance, and the pair ran a good race home for second
place, Viscount having the finish to himself, winning in
a common cantor by two lengths, a neck only separating
Cap a-Pie and Blueskin, and a head the latter from The
Spy; Charnwood was fourth, Geaat des Batailles fifth,
and Hysotis last of all.
Immediately after the winner had passed the post 2) to

and The Spy, finishing fifth.
BUTLER.—The popular light-weight so prostrated him-
sef by sweating to ride Vex for the Stewards' Cup at
Goodwood that, after the conclusion of Lewes Meeting, he
was confined to the house for a week. It was only by
dint of caretul nursing that he was sufficiently strong to
ride The Spy in the Ebor Handicap on Wednesday, the
only race in which he has ridden for a fort night.
ADMIRAL R.ous.—We are happy to state that Admiral
Roue has not suffered materially from his accident in fall-
ing on the Doncaster platform while en route for York on
Tuesday night. The gallant gentleman was present, both
Wednesday and Thursday, on the course, apparently in
his usual health and spirits, but he quitted York, without
witnessing the last day's racing, about noon yesterday,
feeling somewhat shaken, and considering it advisable to
get away quietly before the excitement and bustle of the
evening specials.
