clitre,'• was Charged •by, , tv..r mi.trel-S; ' Mrs. Ann
Parker, of Tavistock-row, wiih adininistering poisen
to her -and two infant childten, with an intent to
murder ,them. The prison. r Underwent a more
minute examination before Mi. NAliza and Mr.
BIItNIE, in course of w:iieh it appeared she had
formed the plan mosi deliberately, :mit carried it into
effea with 'urkonnnon persk:veratice and!
She, had often complained to It!r rni.tresi that the
rats in the kitchen were so noisy and troub:esonie
that she could not, do her
•k, and nri.ted her to
buy scinie*poison to destroy them.'. Mrs. Parker did
not then get any, but placed some broken glasi in
the holes, and took- other preeautions still she
begged of her to get some poison, telling her they
were worse than ever, arid that 'their neighbours
had got some, which had answered the purpose.—
Mrs. P. at last consented, and gave her a v.-rittenmr-
der to her'apothecary,
,the prisoner saying that she
could. not get it without : this was in the aftei noon,
'about five. o'clock. The prisoner brought . two
ounces of. arsenic, and begged her mistress to be
6atitious in using it: , Mrs. P. was then
.going to
tea,
.and placing the packet on a writingide-k, de.
• sired the girl to take the teupet below, put- in the
water, and then•go for some mOrtar, intending to
stop up tl e.rat-holes after, tea. • She then made tea
for herself 2;•Id the two children, and. having drank
I one cup rather hastily, found herself-very ill; and
perceiving one of the children vomiting, she ran •
down to the Strand to the apothecary's, with the-
packet, and related her situation; h,- discovered
that the packet 'had been opened, and ab u. a quar.-.
ter of an ounce taken that, and on examining the
tea, found that arsenic had been. infused • into

A cause of considerable interest to country Ma..

Trimlett, a Scrivener, of Ottery St. Mary, against
fir William Pole, 13art.•cine of his 'Majesty's Justices
or the Peace forthe 'county of 'Devon, for false irn-
prisonuwnt. The constable of the parish Of Co{ ton
was also made a'party in this. case. It appeatEd in
evidence that the pkintitf'was required to produce
sureties for his good behaviour, for a supposed indig:

CIVIL•SIDE.

110TCHPIS V. 'ROVES.

TI lig 'was an 3a icni of slander. The plaintiff,. by
,Ins :declaration, complained that the defendant had,
in the presence of di...els good and worthy subjects
• of the King,. called him a thief and a Swindler.—
Th,2defendant had. pleaded a justification, admitting
than he stroke tile words, hut asserted that -they
were tme, for that Al: plaintiff had stolen a news-
. paper and two ponncß of inution,. the property of the
oefendant. -
Mr. Seijeant SturnElD, for ti:e plaintiff, opened
the case, and argued force `on the value
of character, aria R-ptcseitt.d the thing, the most
-trivial,in itself, of the g,'.tatest itnportance, by the
plea of the defendant, oihica imputed a serious le=
li.ny to-the plaintiff, which,
.if it had not been fat-
. the deliberaye plea of the dci,endant, might have •
passed as were words of beat and anger. IPe then
called the . oitnessea to prove the fad, and in -the
'•,event it turned out oneot the most ridiculoustories'
that 1/44 as ever made the subjet of legal inquiry: It
appeared that the.-plaintiff was an old gentleman 'of.
retired fortune, living at Newirg-on, and the de-,
leudant kept a publir.:-honse, in ttfat neighbourhood,
'where the plaintiff and titany others took their. S -
- cial cup of ale. Otie day in May la,a, a travelling.
• tear-herd came. wi,i) a-dancing bear to the door of
the defendant's public-house, and Bruin was exlii-
b:ted in all .tits paces to please the company.
The,dete4datit, the landlord, happened to be very
drunk-, and after Bruin had-daticed a pas seal, which
was pronounced by the company to be a most
g,-aceful *performance, the drunken landlOrd was
incaed to Undertake a ride on tie bear's back. This
V, as ais.r done, to 'the great delight of all the spe6ta-
,- tois.—The plaiiitiff thinking too much respell-
' could not be pal i. to a tear of such high accom..-
cut oil the fat flap of a shoulder of mut-
top, t()T- the prirpo,e of a relish for the. bear. The
sLettled, did not relish this liberty taken
▪ 'web meat, and (hunk as he was, he seized the
Ptain t ill by- the collar, and swore he was a thief and
a skiii,;lr.`r. This violent action excited a great
anaong the company, who crowded round
11‘ent, wkd..nnongst the rtst the bear-herd. In this
' ci)nfu-ion'puor firuin %as forgot, who, feeling no
interest iii tile quarrel of his biped friends, quietly
walked otf towiird, the dresser, and_ there finding
tlie.'remains -of ..heslioekkr of toutton, the fat
