CH ARTIST DISTURBANCES AT BRADFORD.—Ever since
the last disturbances in Bradford, one of the most active
among the Chartists, named Jefferson, better known by
the name of Wat Taylor, has been out of the way. Ou

,xaminc

o the sur

mation that he was at home, with his wife and family, in
Manchester-road ; and on Sunday morning three officers
proceeded into this hot-bed of chartism, for the purpose of
apprehending him. After they had taken him into cus-
tody, a mob assembled, consisting of several hundred
persons. The prisoner was rescued, and the police were
obliged to run for their lives, stones, brick-bats, and all
' ''•

othe'r kinds of missiles being thrown at them. The mili-
tary were called out, and were in readiness in expectation
of a similar attack; while the police were apprehending a
few of the ringleaders in the affray ; but, fortunately, their
services were not required. §ix.or seven prisoners were

_
safely lodged in " durance vile," and by two o'clock the
soldiers were ordered to their quarters. Yesterday week
the prisoners were brought before the magistrates. when
four men and one woman were committed to York, on' a
charge of rioting, and for rescuing the prisoner from the
police.
THE POISONING AT A PUBLIC DINNER AT NORTH-
AMPTON.—Edmund Franklin and Edward Randall—the

former a respectable confectioner, and the latter a respect-
able youth in his employ—were tried at the assizes at
Northampton, before Lord Chief Justice Denman, on Tu-
esday last, charged with the manslaughter of_ Wm. Corn-

field. The death of the deceased was caused by eating a
quantity of blancmange, at a dinner given at the ordina-
tion of the Rev. G. Nicholson, an Independent minister,
at Northampton, on the 7th of June last. The blanc-
mange, which was made by the prisoners, contained ar-
senic of copper (Scheele's green), commonly called
" emerald green." It was used in the ornamental part of
the blancmange, of which the deceased and several other
persons partook. All who ate of the dish were made very
ill, and the deceased expired at five o'clock the following
morning. It was distinctly proved that the prisoners were
aware of the deadly nature of this colouring matter, which
they had nevertheless employed in the concoction of a
dish intended to be eaten ; and it seems, moreover, that
they had for years eaten the " emerald green" substance in
ornamenting articles of confectionary, with a knowledge
of its deleterious qualities, though they had at one time,
upon having this fact especially pointed out to them, dis-
continued the practice. They were found guilty, and each
Sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

PAINFUL CASE.—A Dissenting print relates the fol"
lowing circumstances alleged to have taken place at a
recent interment at Bishop's Stortfort. A woman having
died in childbirth, and her infant shortly after, both
bodies were placed in the same coffin. The usual service
having been read in Church, the undertaker informed the
Clergyman that there were two bodies in the coffin, and,
on the question being put, that the child was unbaptized.
Upon this the clergyman is stated to have said, " then I
cannot read the service till the infant is removed ; " in
