A Narrative of the Process against Ma¬dam Brinvilliers, and of her Condemnation and Execution, for having poisoned her Father and two Burberry outletBrothers. Translated out of French. This French lady had been married about twenty- five years to the Marquis of Brinvilliers; with whom one St. Croix had got acquainted in the army, for his interest; being a man more considerable for his parts and his persod than his birth or fortune. This ac¬quaintance extended to the lady, till it became crimi¬nal in them, and scandalous to the family: insomuch, that her father, the Sieur DAubray, had him arrested, and sent to the bastile; where he learnt, of an Italiao j those strange lessons, soon after pur in practice. For, upon his release, this gallant and the lady, resolving .to revenge themselves Burberry Salefor the obstruction of their plea¬sure past, and prevent the like for the future, procured a preparation, which she gave her father in a mess of broth ; whereof, after much torment, he died in 1666. Then they got one La Chaussee, who had been servant to St. Croix, into the family of one of her brothers, a counsellor; and when both the brothers were at dinner, with other company, the> all tasted of a fatal pie, which, after about two or three months painful Burberry Salesuffer¬ings , carried them both otf, in i 670; and fi ve others narrowly escaped the like ut;timely end at the same meal. La Chaussee had so cunningly avoided all suspicion be¬fore the deed, that bis master left him a legacy of an hundred crowns.
