This ill- omened creature then swiftly glides into the house, most industriously relieves house and occupants of everything portable and of any value, and makes off. This is no apocryphal crime that I have thus described, for such a case did actually happen, the miscreant being an old woman of seventy. The official report says " Three similar instances were proved against her. She was recognized by the inmates of the house, who, fortunately, had recovered, and on conviction she was, in consider...a- tion of her advanced years, sentenced to ten years' imprisonment with labour suited to her sex and age. The wicked old woman pleaded poverty, and offered to the assistant at Lucknow, Captain T. H. Chamberlain, to become a Christian if spared the pain and disgrace of a trial !" One of the greatest poisoners known to the criminal annals of India was one named Shurru- foodeen, whose remarkable career was made known by a woman named Zoohoorun, with whom he lived. He engaged in all forms of poisoning, including the " marriage agent " trick.
