SUSPICIONS OF POISONING THE LATE JAMES RENFORTH.

The body of James Beuforth, the champion sculler arrived at the railway station, Gates head on September 6. The corpse was accom panied by Mr. William Oldham and William Blakey, both of whom were with the crew in America. The crowd at the station was im juense. I The deceased's brother, and Martin, one of tWf champion's four, and a large number of aqu'afiw men, were on the platform. There -tras perfect silence as the hearse moved off, followed by some thousands of people. The corpse was conveyed to the residence of the the widow, and the funeral took place on the ■Wednesday following. Speaking of the above event, tlie 'Newcastle Chronicle says:—"Since the arrival of Mr. William Oldham and Mr. ■William Blakey in Newca>tle, we have ge en them as to the cause of Renforth'a death, and we are disclosing no secret when we B ay that both of these gentlemen are of opinion that the late champion died from foul play- Mr. Oldham, whose attentions to the crew, and whose great service both in their ■journey across the Atlantic, during their residence at Torryburn, and on the eventful morning of the race, cannot be too warmly acknowledged, has a most decided opinion that Renforth was poisoned. How the poison was administered, by what means, or whether it wa<* intended by the administration that the effects should be fatal, or simply for disabling the champion for the day of the race, he, however, offers no opinion. He had seen Renforth in his fits, and had known him for years ; and he says that his appearance and conduct, from the" time he was seized in the boat to the time of his death, were altogether inconsistent with his action in previous fits. lhis opinion is also Bhared by Mr. Blakey, who, although he had not the opportunity of seeing so much of Renforth as Mr. Oldham had, says that he never saw four men row better than the crew did on the day before the race, and that he never felt more of the issue of a contest than the one the men were engaged in. He states that he saw Renforth in the cab when he was being taken to Clare.mont House after having been landed at Appleby's Wharf, and bis entire proceedings were, in his opinion, incompatible with the theory that death was caused by a fit. These opinions are contrary to the.views of Mr. Walton and the remaining members of the crew; but they are shared, we may remark, by mtmy people resident at St. John who were "witnesses of the race, and the sub sequent sad termination of it. The funeral airangements are not yet completed, but both time °and place of interment will be decided upon to-day. It will, not however, be pre mature to announce that it is intended to in stitute a subscription lor the threefold object of defraying the expenses of the burial, raising a memorial stone over the grave, and procuring a fund for the benefit of the champion's widow and orphan."
