Posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. Part of a family at Castlesowerby lately very narrowly escaped destruction by poison. The master of the house, an old widower, exhibited signs of attachment to a servant girl; but she, conceiving that the old man's son and daughter were inimical to her happiness, purchased some arsenic at Penrith, and put it into the tea-kettle. The destined victims, on pouring out their tea, thought it a strange colour, and refrained from drinking it. Foiled in this attempt, she next put arsenic into the broth, of which the obnoxious individuals both partook, and soon afterwards found themselves very ill. Mr. IRVING, of Hesket New Market, surgeon, was sent for; he detected the poison, and administered antidotes. The offender has not yet been apprehended. - Carlisle Patriot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Petra
