On Tuesday an Inquisition was taken at the Ship Taunt
Stepney-green, on Mrs. Elizabeth Isabella Sales, u widow lady
aged 22.—Mr. William Clarke, examined': I am a surgeon, an,
reside in the Mile-end road. On Monday, about half-past suety,
o'clock, I was called on to attend the deceased ; I instantly vv.
seeded to her house, where I found her very ill, and vomiting. 01
my asking her what she had taken, she confessed she bad tsket
arsenic, and pointed out the dregs which remained in a tea-col
on the table. • I encouraged the vomiting as much as possible
in the hope of being able to remove the destructive mineta
from the stomach ; but not withstanding all my efforts
do so, and relieve her, she became worse, and died about due,
o'clock. I have since opened the body, and found the coati o
the stomach much inflamed by the effects of the poison. Theri
were no external
