      Ilazell ,, occupying an . estate ; in , , the hamlet of Bishop ' s . Sutton , had , with ; somefriends , - to Jibe '' number , of sixteen , been poisoned by theaccidentai administration to them of arsenious acid j the white ' . arsenic . of commerce . It was at first stated'tha , t * three of them had died , but this , upon . inquiry happily proved to be incorrect , and it is gratifying to . be able . to state that they are all considered . out ofd < uiger ... The . real facts . of the . occurrence . arej these : As . the . occurrence of the family , monthly wa . sh . iiiterefered on Shrove Tuesday with the cus-1 toniary feast of , pancakes , it was resolved . to have it . at thojend of ; the weekend Mrs-. Haxclldirected , her eldest daughter , a young woman of . ei ghteen ox nineteen years of age , to make them .. : It happeneW

      that Miss Hazell , had partaken of sorae . cakesin the composition of which some carbonate of soda had been . used for . the purposeof raising or , lightening them , and determining to add aportion to the batter she . was making , but having none by herat > the tinieshe sent a messenger , to the shop of aiMr . CoIlins ,, ^) aker , in whose cakes she had known the carliojgafce to be . used , to purchase an ounce . ; Mr , Collins , fqp the accommodation of his neighbours is in thehabitof selling a ; few , drugs , and / it unfortunately happened that , his wife , who was unused to the busjg-ys , and to whose lot it fell to serve Mr . Hazeirmmessenger , gave in mistake . for the carbonate , of , soda , aa . ounce-of . white arsenic . : ; The drug was taken home and mixed : in with the

      other . ingredients , used for the pancakes , and as it : did not . produce the . expected lightening of the mass , the entire quantity was stirred in , and the . cakes made ready . They were all fried ; and a large dishful served up ,. and a few having been sent accordingto a friendly custom which prevails , to a neighbour , Mr . Hazill's family party , to the number of ) twelve , sat down to the meal , lthappened vqry luckily that thcre . was , a , . something ; in the ; cake , s which was hot very well liked , so that no . one—not even the children—ate heartily of them ,-and upon rising from table a goodly pile was left .: In about a quarter of an hour all who had eaten of the cakes ( including the neighbour and throe persons whom he had asked to taste those sent to him ) , began to feefnausea , and in a very . , short time afterwards

      violent retching and purging , burning pains in . the stomach and belly , coldness and . other alarming symptoms followed . The utmost alarm was felt , and a messenger dispatched . with all speed to Chew , from which village medical assistance was procured . Mr . Collins , the surgeon called . in , saw at once that the parties were suffering from arsenical poison , and he treated the case , accordingly ; and happily with success , as although , for a . time , some of their lives were considered in imminent jeopardy , the whole sixteen are . now recovering , rapidl y , and no fatal consequences are anticipated . . ;; The . occurrence , however , illustrates in a . very forcible manner the necessity for legislative interference , with a view to placing some restrictions upon thesale of so deadly a poison . It is really marvellous that many lives were not sacrificed on this occasion .
