The Coroner's jury on the supposed case of poisoning at

Wimbledon brought in a very prompt verdict of wilful murder against Mr. Lamson yesterday week, for causing the death of his brother-in-law, Percy Malcolm John, expressing, at the same time, strong sympathy with Mr. Bedbrook for the sad event which has happened at his school, while the Coroner directed• the jury that the death was due to the administration of aconitia. The medical evidence went to show that considerably over a grain of aconitia was found in the body, while the scien- tific witnesses asserted that one-tenth of a grain was quite enough to cause death. Mr. Lamson was also formally com- mitted for trial on Thursday, by Sir James Ingham, on the charge of the wilful murder of his brother-in-law.
