The NINETEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING was
held on Monday, the 16th of December, in terms of the Act of
Parliament by which the Company is constituted—
GEORGE PATTON, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair.

The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company
submitted on this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected
with the Institution ; and the Chairman, iii an address to the Meet.
ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying
results:—

The number of Policies issued singly during the year is 562.
The Assurances proposed to the Company during the year exceed
the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the
Assurances effected being nearly 400,0001,, adding from that
source alone about 13,500/. per annum to the Company's
revenue from Premiums.
Large transactions have also been effected in other siepartments of
the business.
The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate
of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government
and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the
Company's funds, the return secured Oil; shows an advantage
of nearly 2'. per cent. in favour of the Company above the
rate calculated on in their Tables for Life Assurance.
The number of lives which have fallen during the year amount
only to one per cent, on the number of the Assured standing
on the books.
AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS,
-

If any gentleman has not received a formal acknowledgment
of the receipt of his contribution, he is hereby requested to com-
municate its amount, and when and to whore it was paid.
Contributions are received by the Members of the Committee;
by the Bankers of the Metropolis; and at the Temporary Office,
3, Crostu-square, where attendance is given from Ten till Four.

The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927
policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of

the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of ;
and the Chairman, after drawing attentio❑ to the important posi-
tion which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Insti.
tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never
saving disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu.
lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the
opportunity of calling attention to the important fact that the
THIRD DIVISION of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was
to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan-
tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before
the balance was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending
assurers, and he felt confident that there would be much reason for
further congratulation when they next met together.

The MANAGEMENT was declared to stand as follows for the
ensuing year :

MID RDER AT LEEDS.
An investii .tion before Mr. Blackburn, coroaer for
the borough c f Leeds, relative to the death of Elizabeth
Illingworth, ti te wife of William Illingworth, clock-
maker, Wortl ie y, Leeds, was brought to a close, so far
as concerned tl te coroner's inquest, on Friday evening
last, by the jt a y, who had been sworn to inquire into
the circumsta n ces of the case, returning a verdict of
" Wilful mull la .r against Ann Simpson," a woman with
whom the hui a sand of the deceased had long carried on
an illicit inter x •ourse, The facts of the case will be best
gathered fron t the following abstract of the evidence:—
Mr. M. Ha Il , surgeon, and Mr. West, analytical che-
mist, were camined ; and from the evidence of the
former, who had made a post mortem examination of the
body of the d e ceased, there appeared to be no doubt that
she had died fr em some irritant poison. Mr. West said
he kad found a rsenic in the contents both of the stomach
and of the i iii ostines of the deceased, and he had no
doubt that shes i had died from the effects of arsenic.

Isabella Hirt ison, the wife of James Harrison, dyer,
deposed that nix e lived near to Wm. Illingworth's house,
and knew both him and his wife very well. She had also
known Ann Sir a pson for fourteen years, who was a married
woman, but w ness did not know where her husband was.
Ann Simpson had lived at Illingwerth for two years,
but now had : & house a short distance from Illingworth's.
She slept in that house at night, but lived at llling-
worth's in the s daytime. She hadu child by Illlingworth
about a year and eight months since. It was born in Il-
lingworth's I rouse, and the deceased, Illingworth's wife,
waited upon her (Ann Simpson) during her confinement.
Up to that ti me, and three months after, Ann Simpson
lived at Illinl (worth's house. The deceased had been
ill for some iime, but at noon on Wednesday, the 11th
of December, the slay preceding her death, when witness
saw her in h er own house, she appeared better than she
had appeared .fi :r many a month, was in good spirits, and
complained o f ;no pain anywhere. Witness went again
to Illingwortl , about half-past three o'clock in the
afternoon, anal the deceased was then in bed. Ann
Simpson had
•)ne to hers. Witness went upstairs to
see the decease d , and she complained of being starved
and pain in hor head, but refused to have a surgeon.
Witness never saw deceased again till after her death,
when she saw I ber laid on a board at Illingworth's house,
about eight .o'4 d ock on Thursday morning, the 12th of
December. NN 9 tness went again the same afternoon to
Illingworth's h o use, where she saw Ann Simpson, who
told her that a n the previous evening the deceased,
after being in t e d a short time, complained that she was
ill, and she ask, st 1 her (Ann Simpson) to get her some-
thing to eat, for she was nearly " pined " to
death. She got, her a quarter of a pound of sausages,
about half of • which deceased ate ; and also gave
her some gruel w ith gin it, which she drank at the same
time that she ate the sausages. About two hours after
she had had the gruel and sausages the deceased began
to be purged anal to vomit. She then began to complain
of pain in her b o wels, and they bathed her with warm
water and flann al. Complaining of being cold, her hus-
band and she la 5 down beside her, and she moaned and
then settled a b h . Her husband then got up, and went
to the fire, and tthey found she was dead. Witness was
present when : he died, which was about two o'clock on
Thursday mon tying. Witness had known the deceased
have pains in I ter bowels before, and had been called up
at night to bat! to her. Ann Simpson was as much mis-
tress of the ho use as the deceased. Illingworth treated
them both alik ain point of kindness, but witness did not
think they all three slept together. About a fortnight
before her de: h, deceased and her husband were quar-
relling, and sh a said she would cut her throat and then
she would be tt tt of the way. She had heard her be-
tore threaten '4-c destroy herself, and she believes that
the woman Amu Simpson was the cause of her unhappi-
ness.nd 'peon, in his second examination said
thatM hr se
ldriadVinot 1 end any sausage in the stomach or bowels
of the doceasedL
William Guy,, cloth-dresser, Wortley-lane, stated that
his house was be n k to back with Illingworth's. In the
dead of the nigh t, when all was still, he could hear what
was said in Illir gworth's house. About one o'clock in
the morning, wh en the deceased died, while he was in
bed, he heard t he deceased cry out, " Oh, my belly, I
can't bide ; lam . killed with pain." He heard her cry
out twice. The, a she was still, for about a quarter of an
hour. He then heard her cry out again, but in a lower
tone, and as if ::he were weaker. On her crying out, he
heard Illingwor th, the husband, swearing at her. De-
ceased said, " Hill, I have such a pain in my inside, I
cannot bide." Ellingworth replied, " What the hell is
thou making thi's d—d noise about ?" and that " he
could not help her," or something of that sort. In
