Jennings, East Riding I Coroner, at the Half Moon Inn.—Tom Anthony, I who was the first witness, said the deceased was his mcther-in-law, and was widow of John Sadler, ordener, and had been living for the past three w,wike with him. About three weeks since she ran away from Carnaby, having some dispute, and ca me to live at his house, she having no m eans of her own. On Sunday night about nine o'clock, witness was laid on the mattrese in front of the , fire in a kind of dose wheil hie wife called to him and said, "Torn, look at mother." He looked and thought she was in a kt, as she was trembling violently. She was st on a basket. She asked them to lay her on the mattress which he did, and sent his wife for Dr. Wetwan. He came about five minutes afterwards, when he said it was nothing much but hysterics and a touch of influenza. After that she was taken worse, and commenced vomiting. He sent hie wife for the doctor again and he came, and told them to bathe her head with cold water, which was done. The doctor also told witness to come to his house and he would give him a bottle of medicine, which he accordingly did, and gave the deceased two tablespoonfuls. She however continued to grow worse and died about ten minutes past two. He asked her a number of times if she had taken any poison, as he had previously seen persons taken ill like her who had died from the effects of poison, but she said that she had taken nothing. On Monday a man told him that his mother-in-law had purchased a packet of vermin killer at Mr. Wilcock's. He then went and told the registrar and also the police. On examining her clothes they found some blue stains on her apron, and also some date stones. She had never previously threatened to take away her life.—Mary Ann Anthony corroborated the evidence of the last witness.—Mr. Wilcock said that he was a chemist at Bridlington and Ike deceased came on Saturday night between seven and eight and stated that she wanted some poison to kill mice as they were swarming with them. He showed her Borne but she said it was not strong enough as it did not kill them. He then showed her some vermin killer and she bought a shilling packet. He entered her address in a book and did all that the law required. He only knew the deceased as a customer.—Dr. Wen,an said he was called to see the deceased on Sunday night about nine. He thought she was in hysterics and treated her for snob. They again came at two , o'clock in the morning and told him that she was dead.—The jury, after a short deliberation, found that deceseed had taken poison whilst in a state of temporary derangement. At the conclusion of the inquest a subscription was raised by the members of the jury, and a sum of money presented to Mrs. Anthony.
