London, March 28.  A gentleman, said to be named Davers,
died at the Angel Inn, Islington, a few days ago, supposed
by poison; a card, which he was seen to write some hours
before his death, contained the following words. . . [9
lines in prose, followed by the following rhyme] 
  Of laudanum an ample dose
  Must all my present ills compose
  But he best laudanum of all
  I want not resolution, but a ball. [signed] T.D.
