      The Case Of Poisoning At Bromle1 . The I...

      THE CASE OF POISONING AT BROMLE 1 The inquiry into this remarkable case was resumed yesterday , for the sixteenth time , before Mr . Cartti the coroner for West Kent , at the Swan Tavern * * Bromley . ¦ More than usual interest had been excited by th present meeting in consequence of the learned co roncr having on the 8 th instant , expressed his inton tion to close the inquiry at _ the next sitting , by .- !!* marking on the mass of evidence adduced from timo to time , leaving thejury to decide therefrom wlictlim ! criminality attached to any individual . Very activ exertions had also been taken by Inspector Field ant the other officers employed in investigatin" the ik ; with a view to bring together all the altnmnWo cvi ' dence which could uy possibility be siipp ( , si !( | bw , upon the case ; and when the coroner arrived yestW nay morning , it was generally believed that matter * , were at length so arranged as te roleasc that font , tionary and the jury from their lengthened and anxious duties in connexion with the affair .

      Before proceeding with the inquiry , tiie coroner had a lengthened interview with the Rev . Dr . Scott the magistrate , and also with Mr . Superintendent 1 icrce and Inspector Field . On entering the inquest room , wind ,, as on all former occasions , appeared to be the nucleus whereat all the inhabitants of the village were assembled . The coroner apologized for having unavoidably detained the jury and stated that Mr . Games , the solicitor , who bad been instructed to watch the cue on behalf oi the inhabitants of Biomlev , was at the present moment seriously ill , and quite unable to attend to his professional duties . Tin ' s circumstance —coupled with a f & ct of which he had also been in . f o rmed b y the officers , that an important witness who at p resent resi d ed in a dist a nt part of the conn !

      try , was not in attendance—would , he feared , prevent bim from carrying out his previous det crmination to close the inquiry on that occasion . One witness , however , was in attendance ; and as he had bee n brou g ht a lon g distance in order to give evidence , he ( the coroner ) thought it would be better to examine him , and then determine on what course should be pursued . The jury immediately assented , and Mr . Thomas Carter , having b ee n sworn , deposed as follows : —I am a Baptist minister , and r es ide at

      benny-Stratford , in Buckinghamshire . I have lived there two and a half years . I previously resided at Braunston , in Northamptonshire , and before that at Litton in Somersetshire—six months in each p 1 ac » . I formerly lived at Deptford . In September , 1813 , 1 came to Bromley to see my friends residing in that place . Irtmunedin Bromley about three hours during which time 1 visited the family of the Churchers , Mr . Vi-rrall , and the deceased II ? rriet Monkton . I had been acquainted with the Lit t e r a b out a y ear a ud a h a l f previously , but had not seen her during the preceding twelve months . 1 had corresponded with her , but h a ve no recollection of having done so immediately previous to .-eein" her in September , 1 S 43 . It is possible , however / that I might have done so . The deceased occasionally wrote to

      . me . Her eorres . ondence was generally oV a religious character , and frequently arose on chang . ing her situations . When I saw her in September , 1 S 43 , it was at her mother ' s house . Her sister was present . The deceased accompanied me about a mile on my return to London . I was not aware that sho was in the family wav . She had no communication with me on the " subject . I recollect being present at a tea meeting at Mr . YerraU ' s in July , lS 42 . I conversed with the deceased on that occasion , but was not particularly familiar with her . I am a married man . My wife was not prose-it at the tea meeting . I have no recollection of being spoken to on the occasion referred to in reference to my conduct to the deceased , nor was I ever reproved by any person for it .

      In ord e r t o r e nd e r the cour s e of this witnes s ' s examination clearly int e lli g ible , it is nec . saary to state that at one of the previous inquiries , Mr . Verrall swore that he had himself reproved the witness at the tea mee t in g for that which he considered very improper conduct on his part towards the deceased , the impropriety consisting in an undue farai . liarity . The Coroner here handed a letter to the witness , and inquired whether the same was in his handwriting ? The witness admitted that it was . The Coroner then read the letter , which w as as follow * : — Chupel-house , Muze-pond , Borough , Saturday , Scut . ii . 1843 .

      My Dear Girl , —A letter from Mrs . C informs me that you hare nritteu to Braunston , Being in town for a few days I propose to myself the pleasure of half an hour of your company next Monday . If you havo any special engagement do not put it off on any account ; if not , of course , I shall he very glad to sec you . I think it possible I shall come in the morning , hut cireuinstanees may jot prevent my coming at all . However at present my intention is to visit Bromley on Memday , till irhich time - I remain , my dear girl , yours affectionately , Thomas Cartes , The Coroner next asked the witness how he & nt heard of the deceased ' s death ? The witness said he read the first announcement in a newspaper , and subsequently wrote to Mr . Verrall , to ascertain further particulars .

      ihe Coroner : Did yois receive any reply from Mr . Ve r ra ' 1 ? Witness : I did . The witness here handed a letter to the coroner , which he described to have been the one ho received from Mr . Verrall . It ran as follows : — Bromley , Kent , Sov . 22 , ISfi . My Dear Sir , —At present the whole business is in . volved in mystery . The 2 Vu . es gave a pretty fair account of the affair . We are all of one opinion , that the guilty party of the first offence was no one in Bromley . There is no doubt about her death being occasioned by prussic acid , hut whether taken by herself or forced upon her by another—whether , if taken by herself , she knew it to be it deadly poison or not—or whether she was deceived iu

      the article or not , ice ., is all mystery . We are alt perfectly confounded , She was particularly happy on Sabbath day , so far as we could judge . I am delivering a cvursc of lectures ou the Lord ' s Supper , The one ( of the eighteen topics which I gave notice of at the commencenient of the eeurse to lecture upon for that Sabbath ) was "Eating and drinking damnation , " Asc . ; but after the service was over , she said , " This has been indeed a delightful day—quite an old-fashioned Sabbath , ' & c . At present the only step ucinj taken is to endeavour to find out the seller of the prussie acid . We have proposed to other parties in the town , that we will give one-half of the reward that may be proposed to be given , provided in the notices it be apparent in something like this : — " ——guineas of the above to be paid by the deacons of Bromley Chaj el , aud guineas by Mr . , the constable of Bromley . " I am expecting the constable here every moment to tell me the decision which has been come to . The jury have sat three time ? , and have adjourned to the flth of December . She is interred with Christian burial , as it is termed—that is , "We yield thee hearty thanks , " « fcc ., " In jure and certain hope , " & c . As soon us anything of importance transpires I will write . My correspondence has a little increased upon my hands , so you must be content with this short aud hasty scribble . I am , yours truly , Giokge Yerrali , Mr . Thomas Carter , in continuation . slid , I was not aware that Thomas Churclier was paying his addresses to the deceased . I have heard her speak rather contemptuously of him . Thomas Churclier was my most intimate friend in Bromley . 1 never saw the dectased ' s mother nor her sister save on the one occasion above referred to . I have had some correspondence with Mr . Field , one of the witnesses , on the subject of what I could say in i eforence to this . affair . 1 wished to send a copy of my statement to Thomas Churclier , but Mr . Field advised tne not to do so , and I did not . The witness was further examined by the jury as to what had taken place between himself and the deceased on the octwion of the tea party in Jul y , ISio , but nothing of the sli ghtest importance was elicited . A woman , named Sharpe , next underwent a long examination , but as it was thought advisable to conduct it privately , its purport did not transpire beyond the fact that it was supposed to have some connection with the testimony of the absent witness above alluded to , who , it may be here stated , is Miss \ Y dlmms , a former friend of the deceased , now residing at Shiffnall , in Shropshire . On the court being re-opened , The Coroner ( addressing Dr . Scott ) said , I under * I stand , Dr . Scott , you have an application io make j to me . | Dr . Scott said the object of his application was to ; S ' . 'lioit that the Coroner and jury would consent to ! oim more adjournment of the protracted inquiry on ' which they were engaged . His apology for making the request was the illness of Mr . Games , the professional gentleman engaged to watch the case on belutit ' ol' the inhabitants of liromley , a ud who , he ! tnk'Jit add of his own personal knowledge , had devoted a great deal of time and attention to the case . He ( Dr . Scitt ) had every reason to hope that Mr . Ciames would be able to ' attend in the course of a few davs , should the coroner kindly consent to postt fine tfits h ' nal close of the inquiry for a time . If Mr . Gaines was unfortunately unable to attend the adjourned inquest , it would still he evident to the public that the inhabitants of Bromley had done : iheir duty . i The Coroner said , after the observations of ur . : Scott , if thejury were willing , he himself should not op ' . uise one move adjournment , although he w : ia ol course most anxious to bring lite investigation to a einse , now that all the evidence tluw were hlwly to . procure had been brought tot-ward . There " '• " , was true , one other witness » h . « n it seemeu nws-1 impurtai t that the jury should have belnrc them . ;¦ and coupling this fact with Dr . Scott s ex » ve « ed wi-li on the part of the inlubitai . U ol bvomle } ,--. . thejury consented , lie should himself at ouce agree . to the adjournment . . . Thejurv having expressed their unanimous cp > - niim iu favour of an adj-mininont , the inquiry w . is i attain postponed for a loriuijjht .
