Ann TiWesley, is the wife of Thotnaa Tiltlesiay, a joiner,
the family consisting of Tildeslry and nis wife, two
daughters, one.aged ten, the other six years. a son,.aged
three years, and a lodger. Til leslev has always borne an
excellent character, and his wife :ilia until very recently ;
since when, owing, it is supposed, to some domestic
unhappiness, she has given way to livor, and for several
days prior to the conunissiou of the od'eoce with which
she is now charged, is stated to have been continually
intoxicated. In the afternoon of alonday last she sent her
second daughter to the shops of two different druggists in
Piccadilly, and obtained from each sot ill quantities (three
or four pennyworth) of laudanum. She atterwards went
herself to a man of the name of Werbarton, a sort of quack
doctor, who lives in Portland Street, and producing a
bottle. which hail previously eouteitied the dekterious
liquid, asked him to let her have sixpeunyworth of
launanutn, which, she said, was for an old woman, who
had got into a had habit of tatting it, and could not exist
without it. Warburton, finding from the smell of the
bottle. that it bad previously contained laudation, did not
hesitate to let her have the quantity she asked for. Having
obtained it, she went home and mixed the whole quantity
with some tea, which she gave to the two younger children
(the oldest being at that time at the factory in which she
worked). The girl to whom it was administered, six years
old, litetting the taste very nauseous, at first refused to take
it; but the mother compelled her to drink half a tea•cup
full, telling her she had saeold. and the stuff would mare it.
It does nut appear that the effects of the poison were per-
ceived on the Alontley evening, by any person excepting
the wretched woman herself; for, on the following morn-
ing, her husband and the lodger went to their respective
employments as usaal, at an early boar. About eight
o'elo ft, the woman left the house. which she locked up,
tthing with her her eldest daughter, whom, after a short
time, site sent with the key of the door to her husband;
bidding the girl tell hint that he would find his children
dying, and that, if he would examine a cap which stood
on the table, he would discover the cause. I'he husband,
of course, It.totenett home, and found that he hail beers but
too truly informed. The youngest child was nearly dead,
and expired soon afterwards: the girl was in a state of
stupor, hot not having taken a -very large quantity of
the poison, her life was preserved by the prompt use of
emetics.
In'ormation of the transaction having beets early con-
veyed to the police office, search was made for the wretched
soother, but without effect. About one o'clock, however,
she came herself to. the police °thee, and asked a beadle
whom she Mumd there, if he had heard of that sad business
in Hart Street, telling him she was the woman who had
done it. Site said she bad been twice to the office door to
surrender herself, but thirst not venture in. Of coarse she
was immediately taken into custody, and conveyed, to the
New Bailey, lettere she now remains. We understand :she
admitted without reserve that site administered the poison
with intent to take away the livos of the children,
.and assigned ass ressnu that she bail been very unhappy
for wine tine, and wished to get rid of tier own existence.
