    2. Another article covering the trial- The (London) Times, 7 May 1849; pg 8; Issue 20169; Col. D "THE POISONINGS IN SUSSEX HASTINGS, Saturday May 5 Mary Ann GEERING, who is suspected of having poisoned her husband and three sons, underwent a lengthened examination this day at the Town-hall before Mr BRISCOE, Mr STAINES, and other county magistrates. The bodies, which had been interred in the parish churchyard of Guestling, were exhumed, and the contents of the stomaches sent to Mr TAYLOR, of Guy's Hospital, for analysation. The analysis as yet is not complete in all the cases. In two, however, arsenic has been discovered in sufficient quantities to account for death. The evidence, as far as it went, afforded strong grounds of suspicion, and the proceedings having lasted till a late hour in the day, the magistrate resolved to remand the prisoner. The prisoner was then removed to the Hastings gaol." Joanne Mays Becker Sleepy Hollow, New York **************Start the year off right.
