in consequence of a frivolous dispute, the young man.
quarrelled with 'the deceased, arid ultimately quitted her is
a great passion, vowing that. he never more would notice
her. The deceased up to this time was observed to be eery
cheerful, but a sudden 'change took, place in her, and the
became very low and dejected shortly after the quarrel, upon
the thoughts of her not being noticed by the young man,
with whom she had been some time acquainted. She pur-
chased some deadly poison, and proceeding to leer Mother's
place, she took a large dose, about an hour after the dispute.
The deceased's mother was not at Ironic atthe time, fiat oa
her coming home, the fatal medicine began' to operate, which
the deceased felt. Her Mother was sitting on .a chair,
and the' deceased went over and embracing her she cried

mother's entreaties were unable to extract from her the
cause of her grief. The deceased became very and the
mother immediately‘sent for surgical aid; when Messrs.
Parker and Barnwell arrived, and administered strung anti-
dotes, but to no effect; the deceased had taken a sufficiency

, sion of the dreadful act. Site at length became delirious,
and as she lay on the bed she frequently repeated the words,
"Oh Robert ! dear Robett !" the Christian name of the
young man who had forsaken her, and with these expressions
stiel: died a few hours afterwards in great agony. The eei,
dence of the surgeons went to prove that the deceased's death
was caused by haripg takers a quantity of .poison.

Castle, Oxford-street, before the same Coroner, on the body

by the kitchen fire, in cheerful conversation with the cook),

and falling off her chair ; she immediately went to her assist-
ance, when she appeared to be quite dead. Dr- Bell, of
Dean-street, was procured, who applied every remedy to no
iffect. The deceased died immediately. It was supposed
