Of Sarah Heesom, her child, one year old
at Lower Walton Warrington, on the Sd
Of October, was resumed and concluded
In March last the prisoners child Lydia
died under somewhat curious cireumStan
cos, but, as she had been consumptiye, nc
suspicion was aroused, and she wa
buried. 80,
On the Sd Of October the other child
| Sarah, having been perfectly we'll up e
the middle Of the day, was sliced viii
conyulsions and died the same night. Dr,
! Gormall who was called in before death
prescribed for teethipg conyul:ions, and
gave certificate Of death from that cause
and The child was buried. On the Sd Of
| November the prisoners mother, Lydi'
Syke came 10 stay at Walton, and on the
| III was taken III with the same symptom.
al Inc two children had shown, and
though attended by doctor, died in great
agony the next day. Suspicion being
aroused, an inquest and post.mortem
examination were held, and seven grains
Of arsenic we're found In the stomach. The
bodies OF the two children were then ex
humed by order Of the Secretary Of State
and arsenic was found in the stomachs o.
both.
er had effected insursnces on the lives o.
the three persons, and that the children
were also entitled TO benefits from certain
clubs. The jury, alter twenty minutes
elaboration, found verdict Of guilty
and the Judge, in passing sentence, sale
thatif it had not Been SO clearly proven
| II would have been incredible that wo:
man could have been found so debased
so lost to all natural feeling, as to have
been guilty Of doing what the prisone,
had done. His lordship then passed
sentence OF death In the usual form.

the best safeguards against such mala-

Ia diarrhoea cases, it is only necessary to

the medicine. Wind on tho stomach,

hour of a persons life is when he
is tempted to despond. The man
who loses his courage loses all
there is no more hope of him than
of a dead man, but it matters, not
how poor he may be, how much

up his courage, holds, up his
