Death by tea

A few days ago, two women in De-la-port-court, Hull, were suddenly taken ill aster drinking tea in the afternoon. As their illness seemed to be the effect of poison, the kettle was examined, and in the water were found spiders and other insects, which, it is supposed, had remained there so long as to make it putrid, and to occasion the death of both mother and daughter. The former died shortly after, and the latter on Tuesday last.
