The Late Poisoning at Kensal New Town

Coroner Mr Wakley and a jury resumed the Kensal New Town inquest into the deaths of Thames Hickman and his five children aged 32 to 1 year. Evidence showed arsenic poisoning from rhubarb pudding mixed with flour, likely accidental, with accounts of pudding making by Mrs Hickman and her sister Caroline Bonemay and a vague reference to a flour bag and a arsenic-containing powder found in the house. Medical witnesses linked the deaths to arsenic found in stomachs and vomit, while witnesses suggested no clear motive or deliberate poisoning. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death from arsenic in the pudding, eaten with the flour, caused by careless handling.
