About the darkening witness wentsaird saw her in her bed, and always callihg for writer. She did not bay to witness then that she hall been poisoned. . . Christian Turnbull was a little acquainted with the deceased ; has sometimes heard her coropla . in of had usage from her husband; hut witness did not 1 beiieve her: saw her on the Thursday before her i death, she seemed in perfect health : heard of her I death on Saturday night about It o'clock. Witness went to the Panel's house, and asked him when his wife was there ; he said in the• forenoon, and had ;topped a little; had asked for small beer; but Wil liamson, the brewer's; servant, having come to the door, gave her a jug of porter, and drank a tumbler 1 himself. Witness told him he would never give her another, as she was no more. Ha said he was very sorry for it, hut could not. help it. .Witness asked him for some linen to wrap the body ; he said ;.e hell ' no women's -hifts. Witness asked him for sheets and he sail he had none ready ; that she had not lived with him for I'2 months, and he would hare no• thing to do with her. Mr. Sl`Daug"l, who accompa nied the witness, 'aid, he had never divorced her, an d must hero her; to this he made nu arise cr; and •it. ne•s's husband having come she went away. The Panel seemed a little surprised when he heard of hi , wife's death. . . Several other witnesses were examined nn the part of the prosecution and also in esculpation. From their evideose it appeared that .the deceased was a woman strongly addicted to dri..king, and other bad habits. • It was proved that she had acted with great violence toward , ' her hasternd, and repestedty threatened to do him. an injury. Three witnesses proved that she had frequently said she would have him hanged, and that she would drown or poison herself, in order t.) bring him to disgrace. The Loan A ncocaTE charged the Jury on the part of the Crowit, and in going over the evidence pointed out such parts as, taken together, warranted the Jury to return a verdict of Guilty lie, however, with thecomments he had made, left the else ewirely with the Jury. . Mr. JARDINE, in a most animated and energetic speech, defended the Panel, cnsnheied the arguments of the Learned Lord. T e Learned Counsel went over the evidence at considerable length, and con cluded by.rin appeal to the Jury, whether they would give credit to the word of a woman of the abandoned, *retched, and wicked habits the deceased had been proved to be, or the statement of the Panel, ifter the character he had received from a to:st of uiltresses.

His Lordship gave 'peat weight to the eicellent character of the Prisoner ; and the Jury having returned into Clurt after five minute , ' absence, returned a one. nimou% verdict, finding- the iirdictmen! Nut proven. The. Loan Just ice CLERK, after a few ..voriis ad. dressed to the l'inel, assolized him siatpliater, and dismissed him front the bar. Before leaving the bar, the Panel put Hs hand upon his breast, and said, " M y Lords and Gentle. men of the Jury, I solemnly drtlare 1 am niA godly." The declaration of the Panel was admitted. Dr. James Monteath was called in the beginning of March (Suneay the Ist) to visit the body of the de ceased ;he was employed by Ba il lie Alack.en to in. @Peet the Panel's house, to see if any thing of a poisonous nature was there ; inspected the house very minutely ; every drawer or vessel was inspected, but he found nothing. He saw• something ow the-door which the servant said had been throwo.up by the de ceased. lie gave the substance collected to Dr. Thom son to be analyzed, and went to the boas , . in the Salt mai kso, where the deceased was, to inspect the body ; it was a eoosi deal swelled, with purple spots, often nccabioned by sudden death ; opeised the body, found a hardness its the stomach ; ou opening the stomach found the upper part of it much inflamed. His opi niets then was, that the deceased died an unuatural death, in coneequence of some strong chymical subs stance having heels taken. The deleterious matter could not be discovered, • nevertheless persons Inie„lit die of poison without chyteists detecting the metallic poison, nein to the violent vomit ing§ which take piece. Witness anti another rbymist tried to analyze a brown livid found in the stomach, both with the tests of arsenic, 'corrosive sublimate, and mercurial preparation`, but could make nothing of it ; but it is proper to men thes, that there is a substance in use which can de feat all attempts io discover those deleterious ingre dieote.viiitsout a strong galvanic operation.

Witness does not pretend to account for this, bu s t he thintts it must have been absorbed by the ate tern. Many pamphlets have been written on the sub ject. Witness has seen the stomach of a dog poison ed stills corrosive sublimate have similar appearanises to the stomach of the deceased. Witness has sects the stotnechs of petsons who had died Susi been very mach addicted to drinking, but never saw them cor soiled in the sump part as in this stomach.

Upon her return she seemed like one int olicated, saying, Jamie hail dine for her mow. She said she had gone to her husband's •hop, and asked him for a bottle of beer, and he said he would not break a bottle of beer, but would give her a bottle of porter ; that upon drink g the porter she found herself taken ill, and came off. W;lttess endeavoured to c onifinee her that her husband hid not given her any poison. She com plained of a burning at her stomach, drank a great deal et cold water, and died about eleven o'clock at night. Some days before her death, witness's son was reading Buehan's Domestic Medicine, and the deceased asked five or sic times the exact name of corrosive sublimate ; witness told her it was a drug she had no business with, but upon her urging hint lie told tier. llobert Stevenson knew the deceased.

COURT OF SESSION. JUNE 33. TAIT 0. DIM. The Presbytery of Dundee, ny a judgment of the 11 of July, 1814, atfi►med by different sentences of the Synod of Angus end .learns, deposed the De fender in this case, the Rev. Mr. Aleva•ulor Minister of lochtore, from the ollite of the Holy Ministry, on . " charge made by his servant, Sarah Tait, trial he was the father of a child of which she had been delivered. Against that sentence the Rev. Gentleman appealed . to the General Assembly, which met at Edinburgh, in May, 1815, sod upon the 25th of that month, after hearing Counsel for the Appel lant against the sentence, and seeeral Members of the Synod in support of it, the . Assembly, by a m.jority of votes (78 to 51) teversed the same, and found hat the libel agaipat Ibtr. Davie wee not gupported by setisfectory evidence; end disnitssed the same as not proven. Not withstin,ling this judgment of the Supreme Church Judicatory, the girl. Sarah Tait, persisted i o her a ction for aliment of the child before the Civil Courts, and which, after a proof, and various steps of procedure in the inferior and supreme Guilt, which it is unnecessary to detail, came before Lord Alloway as Ordinary, who found that there was a se miplena pi °lndia, and allowed the Pursuer's oath in supplement to betaken, mind which was Recording ly done, and sealed up. Against the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor :sir. Davie appealed by Petition to the Inner House, but which was refused on the 19th' of February last, and the oath ordered to be opened up. Upon the 27th of the same month the oath was opened up, when it was found that the Pursuer had sworn, in the most Unequivocal terms to the connexion with the Defender; and, upon the 3d of March last, the Lord Ordinary pronounced decreet against the Reverend Defender for aliment of the illegitimate child, and in•l.ying charges, iu terms of the libel, with expences. On the 7th of MMa►ch these expellees, in consequence of this long protracted litigation, were modified to, in whole, 2931. ss. 10(1.; and Mr. Davie having petitioned, out on the merits of the case, but as to the amount of expeoces, considerable part of -ithich, he contend ed, he was not bound to pay, the Court this day re fused his petition, with additional expense.
