One gentleman in this island , who had , I believe , about fifty running ulcers about his legs , arms , and body , who had tried ull other medicines before the arrival of yours , but all of which did him no good ; but yours cured him in about six weeks , and he is now , by their means alone , quite restored to health and vigour .

      The Case Of Poisoning At Bromley. The In...

      THE CASE OF POISONING AT BROMLEY . The _inquiry into this remarkable case was resumed yesterday , for t he s ixt ee nth time , before Mr . Carttar , the coroner for West Kent , at the Sw a n Ta ver n , ' Bromley . More than usual interest had been excited by the present meeting in consequence of the learned coroner having on the Sth instant , expressed his intention to close the inquiry at the next sitting , by remarking on the mass of evidence adduced from time

      to time , having thejury to decide therefrom whether criminality attached to any individual . Ver y active exertions had also been taken by Inspector Field , and the other ofiieers employed , in investigating the affair with a view to bring together all the attainable evidence which could by possibility be supposed to bear upon the case ; and when the coroner arrived vaster _, day morning , it was generally believed that matters were at length so arranged as t _« release that functionary and the jury from their lengthened and anxious duties in connexion with tiie affair .

      Before proceeding with the _inquirv , t h e coroner had a lengthened interview with the Rev . Dr . Scott , thc magistrate , and a ls o with Mr . Superintendent Pierce and Inspector Field . On _entering _flie inquest room , which , 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 had been instructed to watch the case on behalf of the inhabitants of Bromley , was at the present moment _seriously ill , and quite unable to

      attend to his professional duties . This circumstance —coupled with a _i ' _fict of which he had also been informed by the officers , that an important witness , who at present resided in a distant part ofthe country , was not in attendance—would , he feared , prev e nt him from c a rry ing out his previous determination to close the inquiry on that occasion . One w itnes s , however , was in a ttendan c e ; and as he h a d been 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 . Thejury immediately assented , and

      Mr . Thomas Carter , h a vin g b e en sworn , d e posed as follows : —I am a Baptist minister , and r es ide at Fenny-Stratford , in Buckinghamshire . I havo lived there two at * d a half years . I previously resided at Braunston _, in Northamptonshire , and before that at Litton in Somersetshire—six months in each plaee . I formerly lived at Deptford . In September , 1843 , 1 came to Bromley to see my friendis residing in that place . Iriniainedin Bromley about three hours , during which time I visited the family of the Churchers , Mr . Vcrrall , and the deceased Harriet Monkton . I had been acquainted with the latter about a year and a half previously , b ut had not seen her during the preceding twelve months . I had corresponded with her , but have no recollection of having done so immediately previous to > ccing her in September , 1843 . It is possible , however , that I

      might have done so . The deceased occasionally wrote to me . LIcr _correspondence was generally of a relig ious ch a racte r , and frequently arose on changing her situations . When I saw her . in September , 1843 , 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 she was in the family way . She bad no communication with me on the subject . I recollect being present at a tea meeting at Mr . _Vcrrall ' s in July , 1842 . I conversed with the deceased on that occasion , but was not particularly familiar with her . I am a married man . My wife was not present at the tea meeting . I have no recollection of- _beiDg 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 order to reader the course of this witness ' s examination clearly intelli g ible , it is ncc . ssary to state that at one of the previous inquiries , Mr . Vcrrall swore that he had himself reproved the witness at the tea meeting for that which he considered very improper conduct on his part towards thc deceased , the impropriety consisting in an undue familiarity . The Coroner here handed a letter to the witness , and inquired whether the same was in his handwriting ? The witness admitted that itwas . The Coroner then read the letter , whicli was as _followi : — _Chapel-housc , Maze-pond , BorouRh , Saturday , Sept . 24 , 1843 .

      Sly Dear Girl , —A letter from Mrs . C informs me that you have written to Braunston . Being in town for a few _dtiys 1 propose to myself the pleasure of half an hour of j our company next Monday . If you have any special engagement do not put it off on any account ; if not , of course , I shall be very glad to see you . I think it possible i shall come in the morning , but circumstances may yet prevent my coming at all . However ut present my intention is to visit Bromley on Monday , till which time I remain , my dear girl , yours affectionately , Tfloius Carter . The Coroner next asked tlie _witness how he first heard of the deceased ' s death ? The witness said he read thc first announcement in a newspaper , and subsequently wrote to Mr . Verrall , to ascertain further particulars .

      The Coroner : Did you receive any reply from Mr . Verr : t ! l ? Witness : J did . The witness here handed a letter to the coroner , which he described to have been ihc one he received from Mr . Verrall . It ran as follows * . — Bromley , Kent , Nov . 22 , 1843 . My Dear Sir , —At present the whole business is involved in mystery . The Times 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 nbout Iter death being occasioned hy prussic acid , but whether taken by herself or forced upon her by another—whether , if taken by herself , she knew it to be it deadly poiaon or not—or whether she was deceived in

      the article or not , & u „ is all mystery . We are all perfectly confounded , She was particularly happy on Sabbath day , so far ns we eould judge . I am delivering a course of lectures ou the Lord ' s Supper . The one ( of the eighteen topics which 1 gave notice of at the commencement of the course to lecture upon for that Sabbath ) was " Eating and drinking damnation , " & c . ; but after the service was over , she suid , "This has been indeed ade . lightful day—quite an old-fashioned Sabbath , ' & c . At present the only step heing token is to endeavour to find out the seller of the prussic acid . We have proposed to other parties in the town , that we w ill 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 th ? above to be paid by the deacons of Bromley Chai el , and guineas by Mr . , the constable

      Of Bromley." I Am Expecting The Constabl...

      of Bromley . " I am expecting the constable here everj moment to tell me the _'iecision whicli has beeu come to _. The jury have sat three time ? , and have adjourned to the Sth of December . She is interred wilh Christian burial , as it is tunned—that is , " We yield thee hearty thanks , " & c , " In sure and certuin hope , " ic . As soon ns anything of importance traiispires I will write . Hy correspondence bus a little increased upon my hands , so you must be content with this short and hasty scribble . I am , yours truly , George Vbkkall ,

      Mr . 1 nomas Carter , in continuation said , I was not aware that Thomas Chureher was paying his addresses to the deceased . I have heard her speak rather contemptuously of him . Thomas Chureher was my most intimate friend iu Bromley . I never saw thc deceased ' s mother nor her sister sa \ _-e on the one occasion above referred to . I have had some _correspondence with Mr . Field , one of thc witnesses , on the subject of what I could say in reference to this affair . 1 wished to send a copy of my statement to Thomas Chureher , but Mr . Field advised tue not to do so , and I did not .

      Tho witness was further examined by the jury as to what had taken place between himself and th ' . * deceased ou the _oci-a-ion of the tea party in July , 1 S 43 , but nothing ofthe slightest importance was elicited , A woman , named _Slmrpe , 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 Williams , a iormer friend of the deceased , now residing at Shittiiall _, in Shropshire . Ou the court being re-opened , Tho Coroner ( addressing Dr . Scott ; said , J underst a nd , Dr . Scott , you have un application to make to inn .

      Dr . Scott said the object of his application was to solicit that the Coroner and jury would consent to one more _adjournment ofthe protracted inquiry ou which they were engaged . His apology for making the request was the illness of Mr . Games , the professional gentleman engaged to watch the ease ou behalf of the inhabitants of Bromley , and who , he mi g ht add of hi s own p er s on a l kn o wled g e had devoted a great deal of time and attention to the case . He ( Or . Scott ) had every reason to hope that Mr . Games would be able to attend in tho course of a , few 'lays , should the coroner kindly consent to posti one the final close of the inquiry for a time . If Mr . Games was unfortunately unable to attend the adjourned inquest , il would stilf be evident to the public that the inhabitants of Bromley had done their dutv .

      The Coroner said , after the observations of Dr . Scott , if th ej ur y w e re willin g , he himself should not oppose one more adjournment , although he was of course most anxious to bring the investigation to a close , now that all thc evidence they wero likely to procure had beeu _brought forward . There was , it wa s true , one other witness whom it seemed most important that the jury should have beioro tiiem , « .. < l coupling this fact ' with Dr . S « - _* ot _» _cxpigBed wish on the part of tlw i _«> w 1 _WtonH ° _V * _iT n _^ thejury consented , he _should himself at once agree to ihe adjournment . , ., Thcjurv _li-iving expressed their unanimous opu liiiin in favour of an adjournment , the inquiry was again postponed for a _turtuight .
