ALLEGED DEATH by MILITARY FLOGGING, AT HOUNSLOW. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yezterday). Alex. Wright, a sergeant in the 7th Hussars, said he knew the handwriting of the deceased, and had seen him write. Had a letter in his hand (a letter was handed to the witness) which was in his (the deceased's) handwriting. It was dated the 25th of June, and bore the Hounslow post mark, and was addressed " Mr. W. K. White, Post-office, Leeds, Yorkshire." The following is a copy of the letter : Barracks, Hounslow, June 25, 2846. Dear Brother,—l am really ashamed to write after so long a silence, but conscience provoking me for neglect to you and mother, compels me to say something, adding to the case of necessity of sending to you a letter to Tom, who wrote to me, and of course requires an answer, and how to send it bothers me confoundedly. Be kind enough to dispatch it when this arrives. He states to me that you received a letter before me, and I think you might have sent me more, but I suppose you thought to punish me for not writing. If the direction is not right, please alter it forme. I am very unwell, and have gone through a great deal of trouble since you heard from me last, and feel disgusted with the service, but you need not tell mo ther so, for she would only fret. I hope you are all well b y this time. Give my b es t love- to sister and mother. 1 had formed a resolution to commit mis chief; but, thank God, I have for the present al tered my mind. I have not that confidence in myself that I used to have. My star of destiny frowns at me and everything goes wrong. Your letters give me a conso lation generally, but I cannot venture .to read them always, for I am very near approaching lunacy at times. I am an old man now to what I was, and what a few more years will make me I am afraid to' guess at. Write to me soon, and give me word how matters are in Leeds, for you are the only persons I correspond with now. I have not seen London yet, nor shall I unless I change my mind. Every one there is lost to me now. Again I hope you will keep quiet to mother that lam ill, for her sake. Give my respects to Maclin, and Whitfield, and Kepple. You must excuse my faults and forgive my failings, for I cannot help them ; fate wills my proceedings, and I must go with the tide. My paper is short, and I must cut short my tale of woe, and resume my Most hard and wretched duty of a soldier. God be with you and prosper you, and in your prayers remember Your affectionate brother, FREDERICK JOHN WHITE. Mr. WAKLEY, addressing the jury, said there could be no doubt that White received 150 lashes. It was his duty to deal with the law on the subject, and his opinion was (he did not know whether they were of the same opinion), that according to the Act of Parliament and the articles of war, White rendered himself liable to receive 150 lashes for striking his superior officer. There could be no doubt of this; therefore, he considered they had arrived at that stage of the inquiry when they might hear the depositions read over in order to determine the cause of the deceased's death. A juror desired to be informed how the ladder was fixed on which White received punishment. Mr. WAKLEY said his wishes should be gratified. Sergeant Potter was called by Mr. Clark, and deposed that White came into the hospital on the 15th and left his bed on the 20th, six days after the infliction of the punish.. ment. He got up on Saturday, the punishment having been inflicted on the preceding Monday. After he could wear his shirt he was allowed to get up and walk about the ward and assist in cleaning it. lie appeared then quite well, with the exception of his back. White assisted in cleaning the ward on Saturday, the 4th of July. H e was not asked to clean it, but lie volunteered to do SO. He went out every day after the 20th. Mr. WAKLEY inquired how the evidence of the witness to-day contradicted that given by him on the last occasion, when he stated that White was in bed fourteen days? Had stthheofdays July. hey bore date, and any one complained of the e vidence he had g ive n ? Witness said no one had ; no one had repr T im h a e n e d n e t d ri h es im in ; t h h e e had considered the evidence he g ave on the la st occasion, and he was now more positive. The sur g eon di d not tell him that it would be dangerous if White should go out. White m me a d d i e ea n l o b c o o o m k pl w a e in re t u rod p a to e othea generally in his presence. Sergeant Hooper, of the 7th Hussars, saw White in the hospital. Went there the same day, and to the same ward. Only came out of the hospital to-day. White was removed from the ward into another. The rest of the evidence com prised that of Potter. Some men take longer to get well than others, and much depends u p on their flesh. Mr. Clark said it was right that heShould inform the Co roner that he had had no communication with any so ldier on the subject of the inquiry. Mr. Clark stat e d th a t h e h a d In reply to the CouoNgni been unable to obtain a copy of the court-martial from the Horse Guards, and that the Coroners summons would be necessary before it could be obtained; but he understood tha it was in the possession of the Judge-Advocate. gentleman from the Colonel Whyte, and JaAdgt Rase .A ushered this d v o stage utei,as o i of oo ffit t hc h ce e i is in ut proceedings, ehl s.rcoa i td t ao Mr. W. H. Hughes, second clerk in the Judge-Advocate- Generars-office—l was desired by the Judge-Advocate to at tend here, and I produce the original court martial and sentence, in short, the whole of the proceedings on the trial of Frederick White, of the 7th Hussars, as well as the ap proval and confirmation of the Commander-ia-Chief, which was signed by Sir John M'Donald, the Adjutant-General. (The witness here read the whole of the proceedings which were very voluminous.) The deceased pleaded guilty to the charge, and in his defence the deceased attributed it to drunkenness, and threw himself in consequence on the mercy of the court. Mr. Mills then read over the statenienta of the medical treatment of the deceased, and the pain lie was stated to have suffered, in order that the medical gentleman, all of whom were present, might immediately state their opiuioa of the deceased's death. The following are the officers who comprised the district Court-martial :—Captain C. Hogartb, Captain T. Preston, Lieutenant J. Hely, Captain C. Wyndham, Lieutenant J. Hag Art, Lieutenant N. Russell. They are all officers of the 7th Hussars, or " Queen's Own." Ist charge—For being drunk at the cavalry barracks, Hampton-court, on the evening of the Ist of June, 1846, and for having then and there offered violence to and struck with a poker Lance sergeant John Darley, of the 7th Hussars, his superior officer, he being at the time in the execution of his duty. 2d charge—For having, when in confinement in the guard house, on the said let day cf June, made use of insubordinate and threatening language of and to his superior officers, in the following instances :-Ist instance—ln having declared that "he wished he had beat the b—y brains of the ser geant," meaning thereby Lance Sergeant John Darley ; 2d instance —ln having said to Corporal Thomas Hollis, of the 7th Hussars, " and you, you b—r, I will serve the same." The prisoner pleaded guilty to both the charges. Evidence was then adduced. Sentence—The court having found the prisoner guilty of both the charges preferred against him, which being a breach of the articles of war, and taking into consideration his general bad character, particulary towards his superiors, does now sentence him, the prisoner, Private Frederick White, No. 689, of the 7th Queen's Own Hussars, to undergo a corporal punishment of 150 lashes.—Anntun SIIIRLEY, Captain and President, 7th Hussars. Hounslow Barracks, June 10th, 1846. " Approved and confirmed by order of the Commander-in- Chief; " JOHN MACDONA LD." The following certificate accompanied the finding of the court-martial : " I certify that No. 689, Private Frederick White, of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, is in a good state of health, and tit to undergo corporal punishment or imprisonment, solitary or otherwise, and with or without hard labour. " SAMUEL WARREN, M.D., Surgeon, 7th Hussars. "Hounslow Barracks, June 10, 1846." White handed in the following statement to the court martial before the verdict : " Gentlemen—Having pleaded guilty to the charge pre ferred against me, it only remains for me to urge some exte nuating point by Is hich I may become entitled to some cle mency at your hands. "I am sure that it cannot be said that the unfortunate affair was premeditated. I never had a word of any kind but such as should pass between a private and his superior officer, having always borne myself towards Sergeant Darley wi.th that respect which was due to his rank, and I must deeply regret that the drink which I had taken deprived me of all constraint over myself, and obliterated from my me mory those feelings of respect which had up to that time always influenced my conduct. "I am well aware that an action committed under the in fluence of drink obtains but little consideration on that head, yet, from the absence of all vindictive feeling on my part, added to the unconscious state I was in at the time of the committal of the crime, I have to hope you will deal leni ently with my case, and allow what I have urged to have some weight with you in coming to your decision. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " FRED. WHITE. "A. Shirley, Captain and President, 7th Hussars." Colonel Whyte stated, at an earlier part of the proceed ings, that Matthewson seemed to consider that Dr. Warren had given evidence which would injure his character. He wished to be informed of the nature of it. When the evidence of Dr. Warren was read over, Mat thewson was called into the room, and repeated that Dr. Warren said in his presence, that the pains of which the deceased complained whilst in the hospital were attri butable to the flogging he had received. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Dr. Warren flatly denied having made any such remark. The witness further added, that he could bring forward persons to prove that he did say this—Holles, M'Leod, Hooper, and Skinner. Mr. Wanutr—Withdraw, and have your witnesses in at tendance. The witness then withdraw. After the evidence of Cooke had been read over in his presence, Mr. WAKLEY asked him if he had been reprimanded in consequence of the evidence which he had given? Witness I have been reprimanded. Mr. WAKLEY—By whom ? Witness—By Lieutenant- Colonel Whyte. Mr. Waxxxy—When? Witness—Last Friday morning on parade. Mr. WAKLEY—Were you called out from all the rest? The witness said he was, and, in reply to questions made the following deposition :—On Friday morning whilst on parade for muster, at which every man in the regiment. at Hounslow was present, on my name being called—(we salute and march off after answering to our names)—Colonel Whyte ordered me to stop, and called me before the ranks. He said, " Now, Mr. Cooke, I wish to speak to you with regard to the testimony you gave on the late inquest." He commenced by saying that my statement that trumpeters flogged in ca valry regiments was not the case. The first Adjutant, Ire land, remarked, " No, sir, and never was." Colonel Whyte said, " Yes, and I find upon inquiry that such a case took place about fifteen years ago ;" to which I said, that "the Ist Dragoon Guards flogged by trumpeters, and that I had been told that other regiments had done the same." He said, " such had not been the case, and that I was as near committing perjury as damage." Then, turning towards some of the trumpeters, he said, " Did you call Trumpeter Luke Bust a boy, or Taylor ?" and the adjutant said, " or Youle?" I replied, " I spoke generally, and did not refer to particular men." This conversation had reference to the state ment which I made before the jury, that " drummers flogged in cavalry regiments." Col. Whyte said he could plainly see that I endeavoured to throw misconception over the whole affair. He also said, "You have spoken of severe punish ment in the Hussars, and I find upon inquiry that there has been less punishment in the 7th Hussars for the last four years than in any other regiment." Colonel Whyte used no threats or intimidation. Mr. WAKLEY--.ls it reputed that there is less punish ment in the 7th Hussars than in other regiments? Wit ness—l believe it is. I replied to Colonel Whyte, when he spoke thus—" That is what I stated." That was all I believe that passed; he ordered me then to fall back. Mr. WAKLEY—WKS this in the hearing of all the soldiers? Witness—Of a great number. Colonel Whyte had made use of no intimidation. Mr. WAnurv—Did you hear any other man spoken to on the same subject ? Witness—Yes ; Matthewson was also called out, but as I was not near I did not hear what was said. Mr. WAxtatv—Mr. Clark, do you wish to examine the witness on this subject? Mr. Clark said he had, on his own responsibility, advised Colonel Whyte not to make any statement then. Colonel Whyte said he had not the slightest objection to explain the circumstance, but not then, as -he considered they ought to hear Matthewson first, as the observations re ferred to arose out of some conduct on his part. Mr. WAKLEY said he had just received a letter from the brother of the deceased, in which he expressed a wish that the chaplain of the barracks should be examined before the jury. He thought it was a wish that should be complied with. Mr. Clark had not the slightest objection. He lived close to the house. After the testimony of Skinner had been read over, he stated in reply to the Coroner, that he had seen 18 or 20 men flogged. After receiving punishment they sometimes complained of a heaviness between the shoulders. On the second morning after being flogged he (witness) asked him how he was? To which he replied, that he had a burning pain in his chest from the punishment he had received. Mr. WAKLEY—You are confident those are the words he used ? Witness—Yes. Mr. WaxnEv—Have you a shadow of a doubt what were the words he used? Witness—No, sir, not the least. Mr. WAKLEY—Did he put his hand any Where? Witness— Yes, here (applying the palm of his hand to the middle of the chest). Charles Cooke corroborated the statement that Dr. Warren said, in reply to an exclamation of the deceased three days before his death, that the lash was the cause of the pain he suffered, "I know IL" Skinner, Matthewson, and Harper were present. Matthewson was next called, and stated, in addition to his former evidence, that the Doctor did not examine the de ceased's chest by putting his hand to it before he received punishment, but simply asked him if he bad any complaint. He had his dress and gloves on. Neither did he examine his. In his case he was tried, sentenced, punished, and sent to the hospital within five hours. But three officers were present at the court-martial which adjudged him to receive 100 lashes for insolence to Colonel Whyte. Their names were Captain Hagart, Lieut. Eden, and Cornet Cooper, all of the 7th. When White was punished the farrier major took up one cat and the adjutant took up another, which was dark handled, and which was changed after the first 100 lashes for another, which also had a dark handle. When Dr. Warren asked me if I had any complaint, I said "No." I was pretty well. He immediately signed the certificate, and I was taken off to the court-martial. He did not ask me if I had a pain in my chest, or if I spat blood. A private named Bilings was presentwhen the doctor examined me. I have not received any punishment for the evidence I gave here; in fact, I was in confinement at the time I gave evidence, and Colonel Whyte liberated me two days before my term of imprisonment had expired. White and I were often together, because we had been both punished. I was punished only a week after White. He called my attention to a singular pain in his chest, and said his shirt was moved by it. A week before he died, on the 4th of July, he said he had a bad pain in his side, and stripped off his shirt, and showed the place to Dr. Warren, who said it would go off, and ordered him some cooling medicine. On the Saturday after he was punished, there was a review; the deceased was apparently unwell and did not go, because Dr. Warren thought the knapsack would injure his back. Mr. WAKLEY called the attention of Dr. Warren to an entry in the medical book of that date, which stated, " back altogether well, and will be fit for duty in the course of to morrow." This was an important consideration. Dr. Warren said, the deceased was out of bed on Saturday and Sunday, and was apparently well. The jury then retired for refreshments, an hour and a half being allowed by the Coroner for that purpose. The jury re-assembled shortly after half-past four o'clock. Before proceeding with the business, they, in a body, in spected the ladder on which the unfortunate man received 150 lashes. It was placed at the rear of the inn, and Farrier Major Critten, at the request of the jury, described the posi tion of the man whilst undergoing punishment. One of the jurymen asked Critter), if a man could move the muscles of , his back whilst suffering from the lash? Critten, rather im pertinently, said, he was not bound to answer the question. Adjutant Ireland, who was present, was then asked the same question, and he replied, that in bis opinion, a man could move. He had seen men get loose during the infliction of the punishment. Mr. Drewaith, one of the jurors, remarked, "Yes ; and no doubt many men have been brought to the ladder through your means." PRICE SD. A soldier remarked that he had seen a man run up the ladder on receiving the first lash. Some recrimination ensued of a personal character, and the jury returned to the inquest room. No sooner had they done so, than Co!onel Whyte complained of the statement of Mr. Drewaith, and cos sidered that such a remark was most im proper, and uncreditable at such a time, and showed an animus which ought not to exist in the breast of a juryman. Mr. WAKLEY said it was an unfortunate remark, and showed the impropriety of any one but jurymen being present. He particularly requested that only jurymen should inspect it.. Colonel Whyte regretted that the order of the Coroner had not been attended to. At the request of the Coroner the medical gentlemen inspected the ladder. Ile also wished to know whether the jurymen had, from the exhibition on the ladder, been able to form an opinion of the way in which the deceased received the lashes? A juror remarked that Matthewson had stated that the exhibition of the ladder by Critt en did not corectly show its proper position when the man was punished. Elmsworth was then called, and his evidence was read over. Mr. WAKLEY here stated that he had read the articles of war, and could find nothing in them specifying the length of the handle of the lash, the thongs attached to them, or the size of the knots which were tied on them. Now, he thought it right to state this, in order that the officers of the regiment might, if they thought proper, produce some specific rules on the subject. Dr. Warren said he knew of no specific instructions on the subject. It was not necessary in the British army. Mr. WAKLEY said he was not asking Dr. Warren what took place in our armies. Dr. Warren repeated that he knew of no instructions on the object. Mr. WAKLEY-.-NO instructions how you should strap and fasten him, and how you should inflict the punishment upon him ?' If the man was satisfied, he (Dr. Warren) was satis fied too? Dr. Warren said he was. Mr. WAKLEY inquired if Colonel Whyte had any instruc tions on the subject? Mr. Clarke said he had not. They had no information to offer with respect to the punishment. Colonel Whyte said it was administered according to the diatom of war " in like cases," a term which concluded each article. Mr. WAKLEY said the case they were investigating was of a peculiar nature, and was, therefore, one of great difficulty. It would be well, he thought, to have some person there who could state whether the " cats " used in the case of White were similar to those used in the British army. Mr. Clark said the wish should be gratified. Elsworth then went on to state that a regimental court martial was appointed to be held because he swept a por tion of the yard without orders. He appealed against a regi• mental court-martial, and claimed a district court-martial, but the Commander in-Chief stated, if he would forego his ' claim, a court-martial should be dispensed with. Was re commended at Ipswich for promotion by Colonel Whyte. He was sentenced to receive five dozen lashes with a whip three yards long doubled, on a table, on which he was held down by men. He was laid down on a table. He had his over alls on, but nothing else. But he only received a dozen stripes. This was not done by order of a court-martial, but by the order of a sergeant-major. I could not lookup after that (added the witness) and I deserted; but being deceived by my friends, I came back again. I was disgusted, for I was ashamed to see my self walking about. I was ill after I left the regiment. Did not give the man into custody, and bring him before a magistrate for an assault. He was not aware that the same punishment had been inflicted on any one before him, nor that it had been applied to any one since. The witness explained that in fetching meat from the " Cook of the Rump," he forgot to fetch some suet to make puddings; and as they had to go without, they said they would report him, when the sergeant-major said, " Give him five dozen."—(Laughter.) Evans, the farrier, said he learned to flog under the in structions of Adjutant Ireland, on a sack, which was marked ' in the middle, at which mark he was directed to strike for practice He did not like to flog. Farrier-Major Critten of the regiment was then examined. —Flogged White on the 4th of June. The sentence of the court-martial was read, and he was told by the adjutant to prepare for the punishment. Brought the whips from the veterinary surgeon, where he kept them locked up in a box. He made them himself. Two, he thought, had dark handles, and the others had light. Made them from the pattern of other sergeant-majors. No one had been punished with the dark-handled " cats" for two years. There was a slight difference in them, which he attributed to the difficulty of getting similar cord at different places. The thongs of the black-handled ones might be a little thicker, but not much ; so little that if the cords were taken off a grain of difference would not be found in them. Mr. WAKLEY remarked that some of the cats had eight knots, some seven, one six, and one nine. Every knot had a double knot. Adjutant Ireland would undertake to say that the knots were single on the lash with which White was Logged. Witness—Had no instructions whether he was to strike hard or light. Cannot answer whether the man suffered or not; he did not appear to suffer more than others. He made one remark, namely, "lower," when Evans struck him on the neck, because the cat got twisted. Had seen some men suffer more than W bite, because he was a spare man. Both he and Evans were on the best terms with the deceased. White was tied up like others. Was never told where to strike except by the farrier major, whom he succeeded. Would swear that he had not flogged thirty in his lifetime; had flogged about three during the last four years. It was a palpable falsehood to say that be rose on his toes when he struck. If he did not do his duty, be no doubt would be told of it. He did not strike with his full strength; he twirled the cat in the air each time he struck ; the time occupied in the punishment was less in the 7th Hussars than in other regiments—about twenty minutes. Had seen men receive hall minute strikes by the roll of the drum, which he considerel inflicted much more severe punishment. The cats were not stamped or issued by authority. Rev. Joseph Benson, D.D., chaplain to the 7th Hussars said he saw the deceased on the day of his death. Was in the habit of visiting the hospital, so that he saw him once a week. When he saw him on the day he died, he was too far gone to understand the purport of his observations. He in quired the cause of his illness, and was informed that he had been suffering from the pain in his side. Nothing was said about his having been flogged. He never spoke to him on any subject, or made any complaint. Service was performed in the riding-school, and prayers were read in the hospital once a week. Mr. WAKLEY said, as nothing should be kept from the jury, he wished to state that he questioned the deceased's brother en the subject of his state of mind. In the letter he had received from him to-day, he stated that when he was thirteen years of age, he suffered from abberation of intellect, and that for some months he was excessively weak in his mind, and had evinced at times most unfeeling conduct to the members of the family, and his mother, when she was dangerously ill. His brother wrote to him about her, but he never received any reply. His mother considered he was in sane, but she had not heard of his sufferings. His father, during the last few years of his life was obliged to resign an official appointment on account of the wtak state of his mind, and a brother of his father was affected in his mind. He (the deceased) was violent and dangerous when in liquor. Colonel Whyte then, by permission of the Coroner, stated that before he called Cooke from the ranks, as stated, he bad heard from Matthewson, in the office the day before, that the Coroner had asked him if he had received any punishment for any evidence he had given at the inquest. He begged him to dismiss from his mind any apprehension that he should ever punish him or any other man for evidence given before the jury; neither would he refer to it in any way. He told him he was a smart soldier, capable of anything, and that if he conducted himself well, he would always be a friend to him; but if he behaved ill, he should punish him as he would any other man, and that his future position in the regiment depended upon his future conduct; and finding hewas under going punishment, he ordered him to be liberated. He told him that this statement applied to all who had so given evi dence. (Matthewson was here called in, and at the request of Col. 'Whyte, the statement was read over to him.) Matthew son said the statement was correct. On the following morn ing the adjutant informed him that there was great excite.. ment in the regiment in consequence of what he had stated to Matthewson, who had informed his comrades that he (Col. Whyte) banded him a chair, and asked him to sit by the side of him ; that he told him he would make him a corporal immediately, and that the adjutant knocked at the door, and that he (Col. Whyte) inquired if he had any objection to admit him.—(Laughter.) The non-commissioned officers in the regiment felt themselves aggrieved at such a man being promoted, and great excitement prevailed. Ile felt it would not be well to speak to Cooke privately, and he took the opportunity of speaking to him in the ranks. as an impression was created in the regiment that he was endeavouring to compromise the matter. Mr. WAKLEY considered that the Colonel should not have spoken to Cooke whilst the inquest was sitting. Matthewson repeated that Colonel Whyte stated in the office whilst they were alone, that he would make him a corporal, and that he never told any one about it. Colonel Whyte said, if the jury doubted his statement that they might send for Sergeant Wright, to whom Cooke made the statement. Mr. WARLEY considered that they would be thu4travelling out of their course. Colonel Whyte said he considered that everything to his prejudice was heard, and nothing to his advantage; his cha- racter was involved in the matter. 1 IMr. WAKLEY thought in justice to Colonel Whyte he alight be called. Sergeant Wright corroborated the statement of Colonel Whyte, and distinctly stated that he did not say he should make him a corporal, and he heard the whole of the con versation. Matthewson strongly asserted that Wright was not present the whole of the time. He believed that C o lonel Whyte had taken advantage of his position, and brought Wright to give evidence against him. He was on oath, and he was quite as incapable of committing per as any man in the room. Wright said, on being pressed, he did not leave the room for more than two minutes. He might have gone to the window to call the orderly. Matthewson went on to say that he told the Colonel, when he offered to promote him to the rank of corporal, that two stripes on his arm would not compensate for the stripes on his back. In fact, he refused. Colonel Whyte said he was in a position to prove that the whole statement of Elsworth was untrue, and garbled from the beginning to the end.—(He here handed in a list of his offences to the Coroner.) Private Senior contradicted the alleged statement of Cooke after leaving the Colonel. Quartermaster Burns, of the 7th Hussars for the last five years, had been in the army thirty-two years and a half, but had not held rank in any other regiment. In the In- fantry he had seen 300 lashes and upwards inflicted by drummers. The evidence of Drs. Hall and Reid having been read and signed, Mr. Day's evidence was proceeded with. At its conclusion, be stated that both himself and Dr. Wilson agreed in a report, after examining the body of the deceased, that the punishment he received had nothing to do with the cause of the deceased's death. Dr. Wilson, however, on Monday, came down with a long report, quite opposed to the opinion they had formed. Dr. Wilson said Mr. Day's opinion had nothing to do with his, to which he adhered. Mr. WAKLEY called the attention of Mr. Day to a portion of his evidence at the last inquiry, which set forth that the muscles of the back were disorganised. In reply to questions from Mr. WABLEY, Mr. Day stated that inflammation in the veins which intersected the skin of the back or arms might cause pleura. The evidence of Dr. Erasmus Wilson having been read over and signed, Proposed by the Earl of WICKLOW ; seconded by the Bishop of Noawzcu, "That ample evidence has been afforded that Temperance, while improving the habits of the Irish peasantry, and advancing their social and moral condition, essentially aids in preventing disaffection and crime—no prosecution for outrage having been instituted against any member of a Temperance Society." • Proposed by the Marquis of St.mo ; seconded by Lord Csmors, " That applications for subscriptions to the Fund be made to Eng glish Noblemen and Gentlemen possessed of property in Ireland, setting forth the benefits which have resulted to the Irish people from the labours of the Rev. Mr. Mathew, and the advantages thus rendered to Irish landlords by introducing comparative prosperity and tranquillity into their localities."

It was a , question to answer whether the now or not, if he had not beau Uogg not have allowed him to be flogged it in an unfit state of health. Had no instrue_ quarter as to how he should act. He wished to state that flogging was a most painful thing to witness, and he should be very happy if he had never to attend another. Dr. Hall was next called, and adhered to his former tefti mony, and added a lengthy statement, in which he attributed the condition of the lower layer of muscles on White's back, and on which Dr. Wilson grounded his opinion that the punishment had caused the man's death, to decomposition, and not to any other cause. Dr. Reid attributed death to inflamation of the heart and pleura, produced rather by atmospheric changes tha n any thing else he had heard; but h e was strongly of ()puma that the flogging had nothing whatever to do with the cease of his death. Dr. Day said inflammation of the membrane of the heart and lungs was the cause of death, produced by the usual cause, cold; flogging might have indirectly caused his death. Dr. Erasmus Wilson said—The cause of the man's dea' h was unquestionaidy the filming, and its consequences upon his health. Death from flogging was no uncommon occur rence, and the disease which attended flogging generally corresponded with that which existed in the case of White. He held abstracts of opinions in his hands, in which his opinions were confirmed by the greatest men in the country—Sir H. Hardinge, and Drs. Marshall, Hamilton, &c. Painful injuries to the skin are likely to cause disease to the organs the stomach, the heart, and lungs, an d t h e kid neys, so that the i p d t s a cts e ; s s . o t S h a u t c w h a o s u e i s e r a h re e l constantly nok e d a tth t e ak p i r n i g ni irritation of the ski n i n t hi s case was liable to: cause such the secondaryhos parl a y e e o n causes, he saw the danger of death. But the pulpy softening of the muscles was anothe r cause o f producing disease to the internal organs. It i'! - equently happened in the hospitals that persons affected with dangerous internal diseases were desirous and able to perform some light work. No doubt some of the veins were injured by the flogging, and conveyed matter from the skin into the interior of the body. He did not entertain the slightest doubt as to the cause of the man's death. The evidence having been brought to a conclusion, Mr. WAKLEY shortly after 10 o'clock proceeded to address the jury. In the outset he begged them to dismiss from their minds all they had heard, all that had been reported to them on the subject of the inquiry, and to arrive at a deliberate de cision on the evidence they heard. Their attention had been diverted from the real object of the inquiry by matters foreign to it, but they must nevertheless do their best to dismiss from their minds all irrelevancy, and to come to a decision on the merits of the case. They had had' to encounter great difficulties at the outset by the desire of the authorities at the barracks to prevent the holding of an inquest. aslle did not say there was a deliberate attempt to suppress an inquiry into the cause of the deceased's death, but that there was an apparent attempt to prevent one being held, and he hoped this case would be a warning to others, who adopted so pernicious an example, that they would find the law too strong for them, and that justice was not to be perverted. Having compli mented the Rev. Mr. Trimmer for the decisive and proper course he had adopted, and commented on the extraordinary and contradictory 'statements made to the Rev. Gentleman, to the registrar, and to the constable, who was sent to the barracks by him (the Coroner), he went on to say that, nevertheless, the statement of Dr. Warren to the constable as to the cause of the deceased's death in no way differed from the statements he had made before them. He never should forget the express sions on the faces of the jury when they first visited the body, when it was in a high state of decomposition, and found that a large piece of skin had been removed from the back. Reports very uncreditable to the officers of the regi ment fur humanity were plentifully spread, and some greatly exaggerated, not from any wilful motive, but en tirely owing to the irregularity on the part of the authorities of the barracks. They found, however, on inquiry, that the skin had been removed for the purposes of the cross examination by two staff doctors, so that a medical inquiry into the death of the man had been set on foot, but no de finite or at all satisfactory statement was made, except in the House of Commons, twelve miles away. Suspicion was the ground of action in that court, and it had been neces sary up to that moment to pursue their inquiry on suspi cion, and on suspicion alone. The body having again been examined by military surgeons, the jury thought it right to have the post mortem examination completed by Mr. Day; but he having arrived at the opinion that a disease of the chest was the cause of the man's death, thought that a gen tleman from London, Mr. E. Wilson should be selected to complete it. He did not hesitate to fix upon Mr. E. Wilson, whom he was bound to state was a gentleman of high re. putation and of unimpeachable veracity. He was, in addi. tion, a first-rate anatomist, and had written one of the best books extant on the " Di seases o f t h e Ski n. " In saying this he did not detract in the slightest degree from the re putation of the other medical gentlemen. He then referred to the law, and said h e m i g h t s t ate, w i t h out the slightest hesitation (and he did not say whether it was a cruel ,or a 1 roper punishment) that the p un i s h ment was strictly legal, as it was authorised by Act of Parliament, which specified that no man was to receive more th an 150 l as h es . Wh ether the punishment was a low, vulgar, or brutal punishment, or whether it was a humane punishment—high and exalted, and moral and effectual in its object—they had not to in quire into, as these matters were foreign to their inquiry, but, whether his death was caused by natural circumstances, or from violence received from the inflicton of the punishment, But if that punishment had been improperly inflicted, or if one stroke more than the authorised num ber had been inflicted, they might be guilty of manslaughter, and even of the higher crime of murder, and every one present would be liable to be so charged. The real question they had to determine was, did White die from natural causes, or was his death caused from the effects of the flogging which he received on the 15th of July ? There could be no more fallacious test than the examination of a man by a medical man, for the purpose of discovering the state of his health, because diseases of the stomach, of the liver, and of the heart might exist, and yet not one of them, not even the most celebrated, might be aware of their existence. Then the skin was so beautifully formed, and so exquisitely sensitive, that the prick of a pin in any part of it caused considerable pain ; but what disease might not he comrnuni. eated to the internal organs by the shock caused by the lash P There were numbers of cases on record of diseases being communicated internally from the skin. The man's skin might have been healed ; but the most dangerous dis ease might have been communicated within, and more slowly causing the death. He then referred to the medical evidence and considered, from the evidence, that inflammation existed at the time he was punished, in the pleura and lining membrane of the heart; and if he were to ask Dr. Hall the question, he was sure he would be of his opinion. (Dr. Hall said, from the appearance of the part, that it must have existed at the time White was punished). After referring to the evidence of the medical men, he went on to say that if th ey considered • White had died from the effects of the pu nishment, they must state so, but in law their verdict would b e . what was called " misadventure," or excusable homi cide ; or if from natural causes, from inflammation in. the pleura and lining membrane of the heart an d left lung. The carelessness with which so horrible a punishment was inflicted, showed a disregard of human suffering which was utterly unpardonable, as they found five cats which dif fered in size and strength. They found the Colonel, and the Adjutant, and Surgeon, Dr. Warren, standing close to the man while suffering punishment. That the surgeon did not feel his pulse, or make any attempt, except looking at his back, to discern the nature of the sufferings within the agonised frame. The articles of war expressly stated that the punishment should not affect either " life or limb." *He hoped that they should bear no more of such a species of punishment. It was far from him to brand the unfortunate persons who were compelled to carry out the sentence; rather let it fall upon the abominable system itself, and it' it was continued, let its denunciation be left to the popular voice, which in time would, he sincerely hoped, work its abolition. He then dismissed them to consider their verdict at half-past eleven o'clock. ,The jury returned into court at a quarter to one o'clock, and delivered the following verdict "The jury do say that Frederick John White died on the llth of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of a severe and cruel flogging which he received on the 15th of June, 1846, in the Cavalry Barracks at Heston ; that the said flogging was inflicted under a sentence passed upon him by a District Court-martial, composed of officers of the regiment of the 7th Hussars, and duly con stituted for the trial of the said Frederick John White; and that James Lowe Warren, the surgeon, and Colonel Whyte, the commanding officer of the said regiment, were present at the flogging, by which the death of White was caused ; and in returning this verdict, the jury cannot refrain from expressing their horror an d disgust at the existence ofany th w e hi ß ch ritis pe h rm s i o t l i di t e h r a ; this kingdom to anrelavwdolatithinnegonigpurlstbeirsptinlotretutesofeirfi flogging on o e f oryggi tbis ma re n alin m. join band and heart in praying the Legislature for the abolition of every law, order, or regulation, which permits this disgraceful punishment, which they consider is a slur upon humanity, and upon the fair name of this country." Applause greeted the conclusion of the verdict. After a pause, Mr. WAKLEY said he heartily and candidly concurred in the verdict. He had felt it his duty to make some inquiries of the deceased's brother as to the state of his (the deceased's) mind; and the information he then received, and the letter he had received that day, strengthened him in the opinion that the deceased was in an insane state of mind at the time he was punished. It was a fearful thing to consider that an insane man had been flogged to death. The worthy Coroner seemed much affected. The jury then separated at one o'clock, after an investiga tion of nearly 16 hours' duration. [ADVERTISEDIENT.]—A CASE OF A SHATTERED CONSTITUTION CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—MISS Glover, age twenty-four, daughter of Colonel Glover, 15, Broadway, New York. had an enlargement of the liver, a constant palpitation of the heart, besides being dropsical, was never free from cough, accompanieti with much expectoration. She was so bad as not to be able to leave her chamber. The first advice in the country had been obtainedfor her, but to no purpose, as she daily got worse, and kept her bed altogether. In this hopeless state the Colonel sent to Toronto for twenty dollars worth of Holloway's Pills, which had the effect of completely restoring the young lady to health in about nine weeks. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. " HocuELaaA.."—The name of the new Book of Travels, which Mr. Warburton, the author of " The Crescent and the Cross," has just introduced to the public, is the In dian title for the river St. Lawrence, and the object of the work is to afford a faithful picture of " England in the New World ;" which the author has accomplished in a manner singularly inviting. The whole of the anglicised portion of the American continent—more particularly Canada and the United States; the institutions of the country as well as the manners of the people—has been sketched dein a style as rt markable for its vigour as for its fidelity. In short, Mr. Warburton has furnished his readers with a work derived from personal observation, the interest of which is only , exceeded by the talent that has been devoted to its pro, duct ion. CONSISTENCY.—On Friday, the 24th instant, L or d William Powlett, of this city, took the oaths and his seat for the small borough of St. Ives ; and on the same day voted with Lord George Beutinck on the Sugar Duties Bill, and, of course, formed one of the minority of 38. On T ues d a y last he again voted with the minority on the same till. This is admirably consistent with the declaration of his Lordship on the hustings at St. Ives ; " I am a sincere advocate for an artices of foreign import being introduced into this country at the lowest possible duty." This is the man the Tones want to represent Bath,—what a pity it is the Liberals wop't agree with their proposals. —Bath Journefl. - et.
