The above is from the Times dated 17th December 1881. I have had this cutting for a while and was going to post an article to the site. However I found that there was was an excellent article on Wikipedia that covered not only the poisoning of Thomas Skinner but the trial and the aftermath
It is a fascinating case and one that caused controversy at the time. It did nothing to quieten "the poisoning panic that agitated the inhabitants" of Sheffield
