Not for sixty years had there been a case of suicide from nicotine poisoning, said. a doctor, giving evidence at an inquest at Palmer's Green. The Inquiry concerned Allca Crawford, a: 14-year-old servant- girl, who was stated to have died from drinking liquid nicotine. The girl's employer, Mrs. Ormond, of Oakfield Road, Southgate, said that after giving the girl an instruction she went upstairs. Two minutes later Alice appeared in a terrified condition, crying, Madam, I have poisoned myself." The girl died in a few moments.

Mr. James Ormond said that he kept a bottle of liquid nicotine for plant-spraying purposes.

After evidence had been given, his Worship said: "I think the evi- dence shows undoubtedly that he Dr. Temple Grey, in his evidence, of drink at the time.
