Ae the Hackney road, at the house ofa 
relation, Miss Frances, Hord, daughter of 
R. H. Hord,.esq. of Piccadilly. Being some- 
what indisposed with a cold, on retiring to 
bed she took some gruel. Two hours after 
she became indisposed, and surgical arsistance 
being procured, the symptoms gave rise to 
an opinion that she had swallowed poison. 
She lived oaly about nine hours, and it was 
discovered that the oatmeal, which she used 
with her own hands for the gruel she had ta- 
ken, was mixed with arsenic for the destruc- 
tion of vermin. It was proved that her 
death was entirely an accident at her own 
hands, as she made the gruel unknown to 
the servant.

- Several years ago, according to his own ac- 
count, this man swallowed 3ix of his mess- 
mates’ knives in a drunken frolic, and that, 
feeling no immediate bad consequences, he 
had on_twa subs sequent occasions, swallowed 
twelve orthirteen more. For these two 
years past he had applied, at frequent inter- 
’ 
Account of the laie Dr. Pitcairn. 
[June 1, 
vals, Sr admission into v7rious hospitals, 
and he was uniformly dismissed as an impose 
tor, upon telling his strange story. ais was 
bat into Guy’s only a few weeks ago, - 
fter having been stripped and minutely ex- 
ad by Dr. Babington and Mr. Ashley 
Cooper: On opening the body, a portion of 
iron, four inches long, was found loose in 
the abdomen; and another was making its 
way through the IJschiatic notch. In the sto- 
mach wete severa! portions ofiron ; one lining 
of a small ‘pocket knife ; two oan orna- 
ments of a knife handle, apparently of silver 5 
anda naval captain’s uniferm butten !—Of 
the pieces of iron, twelve are distinctly the 
remains of blades, and two others may possibly 
be considered so.—The remaining fragments 
are portions of the springs and linings of the 
knife-handles, some of them tapering toa 
point, and as sharp asa pin. The bladesare 
all corroded, longitudinally, giving the ap= 
pearance of several parallel grooves, running 
lengthways. ‘The silver appears to be unin- 
jured. He swallowed the knives in 1805, 
and voided some of them in 1807. When 
the fact was publicly made known, it did not 
obtain general belief, though most respecta- 
bly supported 5 but his death, connected with 
these circumstances; must destroy every 
doubt. . 
At Thorndon Hall, the Right Honourable 
Robert Edward, Lord Petre, Baron of Writ- 
tle, 45. 
in 1801, but being a Roman Catholic, he 
never took his seat in the legislative assembly 
of the nation. Hence he had the more time 
‘to bestow on agricultural pursuits, to which 
he was particularly attentive. Urbanity of 
disposition, unaftected politeness and afiability 
of manners, added dignity to, his rank and 
conciliated the estimation of the distinguished 
circle in which he moved.—[ 4 further ace
