SAD POISONING OF A LADY.  An inquest has been held at Carlisle on the body of Annie Macleod, wife of Dr. Macleod, of the Madras army. Dr. Macleod and his wife and family took up their residence in Chiswick street, Carlisle, about three months ago. From the evidence of the servants in the household, the doctor and his wife lived very happily together. Recently one of the children—the eldest boy—had been ill o, typhoid fever, and Mrs. Macleod had lost her rest in attending to him; so much so, in fact, that on Wednesday she became very restless. Though ill, she expressed her determination to attend her sister's wedding at Nottingham on Thursday. About four o'clock in the afternoon Dr. Macleod gave his wife a grain of muriate of morphia in port wine. This had no effect, and he repeated the doses intermittently until seven, when Mrs. Macleod, who was lying on the hearthrug in the drawing-room, became insensible. She never afterwards recovered consciousness, and although medical men who were called in used every means to restore re=Oration, their efforts were unsuccessful, and Mrs. Macleod died at a quarter before ten the same night. A day or two before this Dr. Macleod was rerved with 20 grains of muriate of morphia at a chemist's shop in Carlisle. At the inquest, Dr. Macleod, who had himself called in the doctors, and who a'so gave information to the authorities of the death of his wife, stated to the coroner and jury that he gave Isis wife the morphia himself in intermittent doses, and continued lagive it to her until it had effect. The inquest walirsdjourned.  In the Dublin Recorders' Court, on Friday, Flint Connell, a woman of immoral character, who recently charged two men, Mulvy and Sheridan, with throwing Mr. Robb into the Royal Canal, when be had refused to give them money, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude, for wilful and corrupt perjury, committed on the occasion before the police magistrates.  On Saturday an inquest was concluded on the body of Heery O'Hare, an Irishman, found dead in a yard in Holborn, South Shields, supposed to be murdered. John Alaccarty, Robert Maccarty, and Catherine Heron are fn custody charged with causing O'Hare's death. The evidence showed that O'Hare went to the house of Margaret Townsend, John Macearty's daughter, in Jacob's Ladder, and was there violently attacked by the prisoners, and it ia supposed stabbed and thrown over the railings into the yard below, a distance of twenty feet. Dr. Coward said the death of the deceased was caused by a stab in the right eye. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the three prisoners, who were committed for trial on that charge  In consequence of the deficiency displayed by the engineer students at the late daminations at Chatham their lordships will withhold certiileates in future unless 50 per cent. of the total utarks obtained.
