HC Deb 20 May 1846 vol 86 c950
ME. WAKLEY

wished to know if the attention of the right hon. Baronet had been called to the recent case of poisoning near Norwich. It appeared that several persons had lost their lives by poison. An investigation had taken place, and the jury had returned a verdict; but such was the mystery in which the case was enveloped, that with the exception that the death had been the result of poison, no other light had been thrown upon it, and the perpetrator of the crime remained undiscovered.

SIR J. GRAHAM

had heard nothing of the case until that morning, when he had read it in the newspapers with horror. He was not aware that the assistance of the Home Department had been called for as yet to aid the investigation; but if it should be required, or if he could in any manner promote a more searching investigation, he should be most willing to do so, and to render every assistance in his power.

House adjourned at Five o'clock.
