The conclusion of the Parliament of 1859 has been long expected, and often threatened. The dissolution has been held in terrorem over the heads of refractory members of the Government ranks, and the argument which lay in a new elec tion and possible loss of a seat was usually strong enough to prove most convincing. But, however amiable or accommodating the waverers might prove on emergency the inevitable hour could not be always postponed, and although it has been de ferred till the very list it has at length come. Under the guise of the prorogation the members were yesterday dismissed for the last time to return to their constituents, and give an account of them selves and their proceedings during the last six eventful years. It is along story that they have to tell, both in the negative and the affirmative. The six years from 1859 to 1865 have included the whole story of the American war, which will hence forth occupy a prominent place in every mod ern history. Six years ago the elements of strife and discord were indeed rife in the great Re public, and wise men foresaw that the breach must come sooner or later, but the tragedy had reached no further than the prologue. The interval from 1859 to 1865 has contained the whole of the war, and although we cannot consider the drama fully played out, or the curtain yet fallen over the immediate consequences of the struggle, yet the Parliament which has just expired has seen the rise and fall of the Southern cause during its brief life. How it has acted in that great and momentous question, the part it has played, the influence which it has exercised, will be one of the points on which it will have to take the opinion of the country. Many of the members take credit to themselves for the caution and prudence with which they have avoided any discussion calculated to irritate or aggravate the quarrel. Mere words are certainly never very profitable, and in so delicate and complex an affair rash and injudicious speeches might have excited angry feelings, and have done mischief. At the same time a more firm and resolute front might have stimulated the Ministry to pursue a line of policy more consistent with the wishes of the country, and .which might have averted much internal wretchedness from the Americans themselves. The affair of Schleswig Iklstein. has reached a climax during the lifetime of this Parliament, and it has little cause to rejoice over its share in the pro- It suffered itself to be deluded with official pretexts and diplomatic mystification; and frightened by the cry of non-intervention, until England was exhibited to the world in the con temptible aspect of having promised support which she was afraid to give. Relying on English aid the Danes attempted to maintain their rights. Follow ing English advice, they resigned half of what they laid claim to. Both advice and aid proved to be of so flimsy and useless a character that it was evident that Berlin had from the first been better informed than Copenhagen as to the intentions of the Cabi net of St. James's. Non-intervention has been, in fact, the bugbear of the late Parliament, To that gramme. shadow it has sacrificed the rights of Denmark and the independence of America. It has been so anxious to assure the world that nothing would in duce it to incur war expenses that all its diplomatic efforts were hampered and powerless. It will not be very easy to make out a good case at the hustings, founded on the foreign policy which the House of Commons has supported and sanctioned. In matters of internal legislation the scrutiny to which the proceedings of members will be subjected is likely to be still closer. They may excuse them selves on various grounds for the foreign policy which they have supported, and may contend that the responsibility of that department rests mainly with the Ministry of the day ; but what they will find to say for themselves on the question of reform aemains to be seen. When the country sent up its representatives to St. Stephen's reform was the great question of the day. Parties were outbidding each other, and the few men who were bold enough to object to the principle were wise enough to be silent. Under the leadership of Lord DERBY, the party which had always been most opposed to inno vation or improvement had ranked itself on the side of reform, while the reformers proper were out- Heroding Herod, and were prepared to adopt the six points of the Charter without delay. How all these fine promises have melted away into thin air, how the noble lord, whose " Resolutions" proved fatal to the DERBY Cabinet, and landed his own friends safe:) , on the Ministerial benches, has suddenly discovered that " Rest and be thankful" is the motto of genuine reformers, how the reforming Parliament, which was elected to carry out the necessary constitutional changes, has arrived at the same conclusion, is a matter of poli tical history more notorious than creditable. Very few of the ex-M.P.'s will be able to explain this part of their story honourably to themselves or satis factorily to the electors, seeing that the great Liberal party, after obtaining office by a political manceuvre, has held it for six years without attempt ing the smallest reform of that constitution which they so loudly declared their intention to amend. It would of course be strange if, in six years' time, no good and useful measures had been passed ; and perhaps the most gratifying part of the Par liamentary performances are those which have affected the general, internal, and domestic affairs of the country. Mr. GLADSTONE may take credit to himself for the French Treaty, for which he shares the glory with the late Mr. COBDEN, whose straight forwardindependence and great ability will no longer adorn the walls of our Parliament. Many useful matters of, domestic legislation have been dealt with, and perhaps the session just expired, with its Union Chargeability Bill, its Courts of Law Bill, and its Partnership Amendment Bill, has been as produc tive of practical good as any of its immediate pre decessors. In legal reform there is still much to be done, but the principle is gaining ground, and the late Lord Chancellor, whatever his other draw backs, has done good service in this respect. Our finance is prosperous—no thanks to the currency laws or to the economy of our expenditure. Still the burden of taxation has been so far lightened that the candidates have not much to fear from the criticism of their constituents. The House of 1859 exists no longer, it has played out its part, and has left to its successor plenty of work, if it brings the capacity and the will to do it. Lord PALMERSTON has taken care that there shall not be too much time for the study of his address, for it is dated on the day of the dissolution of Parliament ; not that there is much in it to criticise, for the noble lord's statement is chiefly remarkable for its omissions, and we learn sur prisingly:ittle of any future policy. This reticence is certainly peculiar, and from one in his position it is inconsistent in the extreme. On the eve of a new Parliament, especially after so long a suspen sion of active measures, one might naturally suppose that the public might receive some intimation of more energetic steps being taken, and some more striking policy sketched out before them. The noble lord seems to feel a dim foreboding of this himself, for he says that if he were addressing his constituents for the first time it might be necessary for him to enter into some details, and " dilate upon the future," but that, as circumstances are, it is enough for him to refer to the past. It must be confessed that this is an unfortunate allusion, for the six years that have elapsed since Lord PAL3IERSTON'S last accession to office have not been such that they may be so complacently referred to, and held out as a beacon for the future. It is indeed melancholy to reflect that much has taken place to tarnish the lustre of Lord PAL3IER STON'S reputation during the period referred to. He gave the sanction of his support to a regular trick which Earl RUSSELL condescended to play respecting Reform; and, above all, the foreign policy of the Government has been conducted in a manner which Lord ,PAL3IERSTON would never have consented to in his better days. Nothing would have aroused his indignation to a greater degree than the same tactics had they been pursued by his opponents ; and had a political prophet, in the zenith of the noble lord's reputation, foreshadowed his closing career as Premier, no one would have believed it. No wonder that in this address Lord PALMERSTON is mute concerning the course pursued towards Denmark, and the fatal encouragement given to the designs of Prussia. Silence is the most decorous mode to adopt when such themes suggest themselves to the mind. Neither is much said on the subject of the Ameri can war, nor the conduct of the Government to wards the belligerent parties. As for the Premier taking credit to the Govern ment for the progressive prosperity of the country, notwithstanding the distress in the manufacturing districts, that is quite out of character, because it was through the noble exertions of the community at large that all impending danger was averted, and private energy, joined to public liberality, sus tained the weight of the calamity, and carried the nation safely through the crisis. It is very con venient, however, for Ministers to assume a virtue if they have it not occasionally, and to take credit for what belongs to others. This feeling is ably satirized in " Sybil," where it is said that the 1 4 great measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL produced three good harvests." When Lord PALMERSTON declares that " Peace has been' preServed with foreign nations, and this country has been exempt from the exertions and sacrifices which within that period other countries have been required to make, he forgets that there are other things to consider, and higher objects in view than mere material advantages and the con siderations of wealth. The chief questions to ask are, Has the honour of the nation been preserved pure and immaculate? have we as a mighty people been as sedulous to protect the weak as we were to show the strong that we were indifferent to them ? These are all-important inquiries to make at the close of a new Parliament ; and if they were pro perly instituted what answers could be made to them? Have not the most disastrous consequences ensued because of the tame demeanour of our Mi nisters, and has not England lost her rightful influ ence among the nations of the world throughthefalse steps taken, and the imprudent schemes resorted to by the advisers of the Crown ? eldom hai a THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 186E1 Prime Minister addressed his constituents with so little cause for congratulation as falls to the share of the noble lord who appeals to his constituents in the address before us. While the past is arrayed before us, and, at the bidding of Lord PALMERSTON, we seek in its re cords for some inkling as to the future course which Ministers may be presumed to take, what reason exists for us to think that we have gained anything by the substitution of a Liberal for a Conservative Government ? What cause have we to hope or expect that they will do more in the future than the past? It is very like the fable of exchanging old lamps for new, so far as a Reform Bill is concerned. Those zealous champions of popular rights and sapient judges of public necessities might as well have held their peace on the hustings in 1859 ; while, if they had not been so meddling and officious in Parliament, we should long before this have had the representation of the people placed upon a better footing, and the vexatious question would have been settled for some time. Lord PALMERSTON alluded with proper feeling to the deplorable calamity which has occurred during his recent tenure of office in the death of the Prince Consort. The noble lord truly adds, that " the nation duly appreciated the high and admirable qualities of the Prince whom they mourn." " A bright gleam of hope" has, however, cheered the country, in the happy marriage of the Prince of WALES. It has, in truth, been an eventful epoch in the history of the world, this period which has elapsed since Lord PALMERSTON took office, and we may safely affirm that the only stagnation to the onward cause of progress has been the policy of the Ministers themselves. Notwithstanding all this un propitious recollection, Lord P AL3IERSTON confidently appeals to the country, through his constituents, to give him a majority in the new Parliament. It rests with the constituencies of the country to answer this appeal, but they will fall very short of their duties if they do not earnestly impress upon all the candidates of their favour that a better course must be pursued for the future than that which has been pursued in the past. Lord PALMERSTON'S address would do very well for a private member to have written, but it is quite unequal in its force and significance when we regard it in its true light as the signal of a political conflict which is given by the Prime Minister of a great country like this, and upon whose issue so much depends. It is not surprising that universal indignation has been excited throughout India by the tragedy of the march from Mhow, and it is only to be hoped that the sad experience of that journey will make the commanders of divisions a little more careful in de spatching men on unnecessary expeditions during the hot season. It does not seem to have been yet decided with whom the blame chiefly rests, but a full inquiry ought to be made, since, though there is no doubt that every one concerned deeply regrets the catastrophe, the carelessness and indifference which led to it were totally inexcusable. If the fault lay with the routine regulations they should be immediately reversed. The head officer on the spot should always have discretionary powers to arrest or postpone a movement of this kind, when he receives information of the presence of cholera or fever along the route. It is probable that good may come out of evil for the future, but not before many valuable lives have been wasted—the lives of men who, by their courage, fortitude, and obedience to orders in a time of such fearful trial, showed what good ser vice they might have done their country at need. An accident which has lately occurred to one of the Peninsular and Oriental ' Company's steamers in the Hooghly has given practical evidence of the great necessity for the new port on the Mutlah. When some of these new arrangements are fully in working order, and, above all, when the railway facilities are increased, the trade and commerce of Bengal will receive a new stimulus. In the sister Presidency of Bombay there is just now a terrible reaction from the excessive specula tion and consequent failures. There is reason to believe that when the first depression in the cotton trade, consequent upon the cessation of the Ameri can war, has passed by, that matters will mend. The restricted nature of the Indian currency, with which our financial reformers seem unwilling or in competent to deal, has, of course, helped to compli cate matters still further, but we need not be sur prised at such a result in India when we willingly submit to the same fetters on our trade here in England. Altogether the aspect of affairs in India is satisfactory, since it indicates the steady progress of a nation which, through many difficulties and drawbacks, is yet slowly but surely advancing on the highroad of civilisation.

The proceedings in this remarkable case were re sumed this morning soon after ten o'clock, with the evidence for the defence. Dr. Michael Weistell Taylor, of Penrith, said he was brother of Mrs. Pritchard and son of Mrs. Taylor. Witness was in Glasgovf two days after his mother's death ; he had not seen his sister pre viously for about two years. When witness saw Mrs.Pritchard in February she said Dr. Gairdner had seen her, and she did not wish him to visit her again. She had some prejudice against him, and gave witness to understand that an intimation had been given to him not to call again. Witness strongly urged her to have a nurse, and she ob jected on the ground that it would create some con fusion in the house, and that she did not like strangers about her. Cross-examined—Witness and Mrs. Pritchard were the only children of the late Mrs. Taylor. John Simpson, druggist, of the firm of Duncan, Flockhart, and Co., Edinburgh, said the firm had an extensive dispensing business, and he had been engaged in it about eleven and a half years. Wit ness saw the prisoner about four years ago, and shortly afterwards a bottle was sent by the prisoner to be filled with Battley's solution. The bottle was frequently brought to be filled after that, down to the beginning of the present year. Witness frequently made up by prescriptions half an ounce of aconite in a mixture. Cross-examined—Witness received the solution direct from Battley, the maker. There was neither antimony nor aconite in it, and it was quite impos sible that those poisons could get into it, as they were kept in separate places. The Glasgow Apothe caries' Company was an extensive establishment. By the Court—The ha'f ounce of aconite in a prescription would bear the proportion of one-fourth of the mixture. Eight drops of such a mixture would be equal to two drops of Fleming's tincture. Thomas Fairgrieve, chemist, Edinburgh, said he knew Mrs. Taylor, who was in the habit for years of purchasing Battley's solution. When Mrs. Tay lor called, she paid for it ; when she sent, it was put down. The account produced was rendered to Mrs. Taylor. It contained items for two ounces of Bat ley's solution, furnished on each of three occasions, in January and February. Witness knew Flem ing's tincture of aconite, and sold as much as 50oz. in a year. It was generally used for liniments, and he had made up a prescription containing as much as 2oz. of that tincture. He would not be sur prised at a medical man purchasing an ounce of it at a time. Cross-examined—Medical men usually sent pre scriptions. It was rather uncommon for them to send for aconite. When it had been obtained from witness he should think it had been for outward application. He had served as much as an ounce to a medical man. Witness did not sell much tartar emetic ; the quantity had been less since croton oils came more into use. He sold tartar emetic to veterinary surgeons. In the prescriptips he prepared witness might use two ounces of tartar emetic in a year. An ounce of Battley would contain 480 minims. By the Court—There was an imitation of Battley, but witness never sold Mrs. Taylor other than the genuine solution. The imitation was perfectly safe. Fleming's tincture of aconite was largely used in its pure state in external applications for tic-doulourex, and he had used it as a specific for toothache. It was never administered internally in an unmixed state. James Thompson, commission agent, said he knew Mrs. Taylor, and was for some time in her husband's employ as clerk and assistant He left three years ago. Witness had taken the bottle produced, and a written message for Mrs. Taylor, to Duncan and • Flockhart's frequently. He had gone more frequently for Mrs. Taylor since he left her husband's employ. The last time witness went with the bottle was the night before Mrs. Taylor went to Glasgow, in February. For a year before her death witness -went with the bottle every two or three weeks. Cross-examined—At first witness got the bottle filled once every two or three months. Witness once saw the message on the counter, but did not read it. He asked for th'e medicine sometimes in the name of Dr. Pritchard, as Mrs. Taylor said she got it thereby half a crown cheaper. By the Court—The bottle was always corked and sealed at the druggist's, and witness gave it as he received it either to Mrs. Taylor or the servant. On the morning that she went to Glasgow witness gave the bottle he obtained the night before to her grand-daughter, Miss Pritchard. James Fowler, of Glasgow, said he consulted the prisoner in November for an affection of the ear. The prisoner usually painted the ear inside and out, and sometimes dropped something into it. Witness did not know what was used, but it coloured the ear, and produced a smarting sensation. Shortly before he ceased consulting him the prisoner told him to get some tincture of iodine and paint the ear himself. He also gave witness some phials contain ing a white powder and a large bottle. Cross-examined—Witness had brought with him the large bottle, which was labelled with directions and the word " poison." It was scarcely half full when the prisoner gave it to witness, and it still contained some of the liquid. Witness did not know until Tuesday that he had it, for he thought he had returned it, as he usually did when he had emptied a bottle. In answer to the Court, the counsel for the de fence said they did not wish the contents of the bottle to be examined. " George Francis Kerr, clerk in the Clydesdale Bank,- Glasgow, said he knew the prisoner, who attended witness in February or March for an affec tion of the ear. The prisoner gave witness a pre scription and a bottle labelled " glycerine and strychnine." Witness only used the mixture twice, by dropping it into the ear. James Galbraith, writer, Glasgow, said he was the prisoner's agent. Superintendent M'All handed to him all the bottles fOund at the prisoner's house which' were not wanted for the prosecution, and wit ness handed them to Mr. M'Hattie for examination. Alexander M'Hattie said he was a doctor of philo sophy and an analytical chemist in Glasgow. After the prisoner's apprehension witness went with the police to his house, alid examined the contents of the consulting-room. His instructions were to select anything he found that was of a poisonous nature. Thirty-five bottles were left in the room, and the rest were • taken possession of by the police. The last witness subsequently asked witness to examine some of the 33 bottles. He did so, and found nothing in them from which the prescription pro duced [that given by Dr. Paterson] could have been made up—no chlorodyne, and no morphia. Charles Edward Pritchard, the prisoner's son, said he was 11 years of age, and lived with his father in Glasgow when his mother died. They all lived happily together. His father and mother were very fond of one another. Jane Frances Pritchard, the prisoner's daughter, about 14 years of age, said she lived with her grand mother, who often spoke kindly of the prisoner and he of her. This concluded the evidence for the defence. A brief adjournment followed, and the prisoner, who had been somewhat affected by the appearance of his children, required the assistance of the police to go below. On the return of the judges, The Solicitor-General addressed the jury. He said this case was so singularly aggravated that he could not conceive of anything more atrocious. He should press against the prisoner that he had mur dered two defenceless women in his own house, with circumstances of extreme cruelty ; and the one was killed while with a mother's tenderness she was nursing one whom he was slowly murdering by his nefarious practices. There was no protection against murder by secret poisoning except the cer tainty of subsequent detection and punishment. It was, therefore, for the best interests of society that the prisoner, if proved guilty, should not escape. Upon the jury now devolved the solemn and important duty of saying whether one or both the charges against him were proved. Upon himself (the Solicitor-General) it devolved. to prove his guilt, and he would proceed to consider the evidence with all impartiality. The first ques- HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. After an interval of spme five-and-thirty years, when it was for the first time produced for the benefit of Sontag, " Il Flauto Magico" was per formed for the second time last night at Her Ma jesty's Theatre. The pit was converted into stalls, with the exception of the last seat, and they, as well 'as all other parts of the house, were completely filled. The charming overture was rendered as those under the control of Signor Arditi are accus tomed to render the music intrusted to, their execu tion, and was enthusiastically encored. The cast was strong ; the artistes were in their best voice, and exerted themselves with such a will as ob tained the warm approbation of the audience. The choruses were, as usual, perfection. Mr. Santley exceeded himself, if possible, and in addi tion to the pleasure derived from, hearing this now unrivalled baritone, a 'deep debt of gratitude is due to him from those who filled the theatre for his cool ness in arresting a panic arising from a trifling fire, which was almost immediately extinguished, but which, but for the power of his voice and the sense of security inspired by his manner, might have pro duced the most lamentable results. The opera has been put, upon the stage in a style of magnificence rarely equalled, and the scenery is a fresh triumph for Mr. Telbin. Although this great masterpiece of Mozart did not produce any lasting impression when performed at Drury Lane and Covent Gar den Theatres, we have no doubt that the sweetness and variety of the music, combined with the strength of the cast and grandeur of the raise en scene, will secure it the success it so richly merits. MORNING CONCERT.—Last Saturday, at Hanover square Rooms, a concert was given on behalf of Signor Giuglini. It was well attended, and very successful in its style. Several artistes of eminence appeared on the occa sion, and their performances gave universal satisfaction. Aladaine Grisi was there, and of course elicited great ap plause. She performed on two occasions, so that the audience were highly favoured. Madame Arabella God dard also appeared, and met with her usual success in her unrivalled execution. A trio, in which Miss Louisa Pyne sang with Mme. Grisi and Signor Staquo, was also highly appreciated, and Signor Piatti was deservedly welcomed. Altogether the affair went off very well, and this is espe cially gratifying when we remember the object which was held in view. THE MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA TELEGRAPH.- The Malta and Alexandria line has been leased to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company for a period of 40 years. The lessees oblige themselves to pay Government £15,000 a year for the rent of the line, and to keep it in proper repair, anddeliver it over to Government, after the expiration of the above term, in good working order. Mr. George Gibson, Government superintendent at Malta hitherto under terms of the old lease, is, it is stated, under orders to return to his department in the Board of Trade. The activity displayed by this officer during the frequent repairs of the Benghazi Alexandria section are highly commended. Mr. M Panizzi has resigned the office of principal librarian and secretary at the British 14useurq. AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) (Via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, June 28 (Morning). A deputation from South Carolina has had an interview with President Johnson to request the appointment of a civil governor. Johnson replied that no State could go out of the Union. He must deal with restoration, not reconstruction. The people of South Carolina could not be admitted to Con gressional representation until they called a Conven tion, and adopted the Federal and State Constitu tional amendment abolishing slavery. He thought if negro suffrage were now granted employers would control it to the detriment of the poor whites. He would, after consultation with his Cabinet, consider the appointment of governor. President Johnson has ordered the military autho rities at Charleston not to prohibit political assem blages of coloured people. General Terry has issued an order at Richmond that the negroes may enjoy the same personal liberty and be subject to the same restraints as whites. The Virginia Legislature has adjdfhlied, after extending the franchise to those excluded by the Alexandria Constitution. The military authorities at Richmond have noti fied to the editor of the Richmond Times that unless the tone of the editorials is changed the paper will be suppressed. General Hartsuff has suppressed the Petersburgh Daily News. Mr. Davis's health is reported to have improved. The Damascus and Cuba have arrived out. A serious melee has occurred at Charleston be tween the white and coloured troops. Several were wounded on both sides. Order has since been restored. The New York Zouaves at Savannah have muti nied, and refused to do duty with the coloured troops. Forty-three mutineers have been arrested and con fined in Fort Pulaski. A riot between the Federal troops and the coloured population has taken place at Norfolk. The troops, supported by the citizens, chased the negroes from the city. The municipal elections at Norfolk have resulted in the success of the Secessionist ticket. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, June 28 (Morning). Money abundant. Gold, 1408.

He had to prove that they were, and if he satisfied the jury that such 'Was the case, the only remaining question was—were the murders perpetrated by the prisoner. Beginning with the first question, in another form it *as—did the ladies die from poison, not taken in order to , ' 'commit sui cide, nor by negligence. Taking the case of Mrs. Pritchard first, although she died last; 4e was the first victim, the poisoning having begun before Mrs. Taylor went to Glasgow. The murder of the mother was, in fact, an episode occurring during the murder of the daughter. The first question then was, of what did Mrs. Pritchard die ?,iler husband said of gastric fever ; the public prosecutorsaid of poison. The question in fact admitted of only one answer, for the whole of the evidence contained nothing to justify a doubt that Mrs. Pritchard died on the 18th March from the effects of poison. The evidence on that point was singularly clear and conclusive. He never met with a case of poison - in his experience that was so free from doubt ; in short, all the evi dence went one way. The medical examination showed there had been no fever—that the body was that of a healthy woman ; but it was entirely im pregnated with poison, and the medical men were satisfied that the poisoias administered in small doses, each insufficient in itself to kill, and spread over a long period. Antimony was found diffused through the entire body. The history of the case, which the medical men said was necessary in order to form an opinion as to the length of time during which the poison had been administered, showed that Mrs. Pritchard was well while in Edinburgh, and returned home, not robust, but much better. It was pitiable to hear of her com plaints-that she was well when away from home, and ill as soon as she returned home.- She was sick after her meals—continually vomiting and purged. Were those symptoms, which were always before the prisoner's eye, those of gastric fever ? No; but they were symptoms of slow poisoning by antimony. With such symptoms, and the presence of antimony in the body, the conclusion could not be resisted that she died not of gastric fever but of • poison. Coming to Mrs. Taylor's case, she went to Glasgow on the 10th February, and was not sick until the 13th, after taking some tapioca. So far as was known, she was not sick again until the 24th, the last day of her life. She was a hale, healthy old lady of 71 years, and was going about the house as usual on the 24th. That evening she told one of the servants she wanted to be sick, and was afraid she was going to have the same disease as her daughter. She was at tea, however, at seven o'clock, and after writing some letters she went to her own and her daughter's room about nine o'clock. In about half an hour the bell was rung and she was found ill, wanting to vomit. Subsequently she became insensible, and the prisoner sent for Dr. Paterson, who at once thought she was suffering from the influence of a strong narcotic. Opium would produce it, but the effects would be increased bf the use of aconite, and her depresSion was like the effect of antimony. After her death antimony was found in her body, but no narcotics, which, being vegetable poisons, were not detected by chemical analysis so readily as metallic poisons. For narcotics they looked for the symptoms during the illness. There were no signs whatever of apoplexy. Mr. Clark rose to address the jury for the defence. He said—Gentlemen of the jury, in this indictment the pri soner is charged with the committing of two murders—the one the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Taylor ; the other the murder of his wife. The annals of human crime are, indeed, well filled with murders ; but if he is guilty of the charges which are made against him, I do not hesitate to say that he is the foulest of criminals that ever lived. Gentlemen, he is a worthy member of an honourable pro fession, whose duty and whose pleasure it is to assuage suffering and ward off the attacks of disease, and to do their best to prolong human life ; and we all know how nobly, how generously, how unselfishly that duty is discharged. But here it is said that the physician became the destroyer, and that he used his art of healing to sap the foundations of life. That, indeed, would be a crime for which the capital charge would in no degree indicate the measure of the prisoner's guilt, if he indeed be guilty. He is charged with having murdered two defenceless, trusting, devoted women, to the one of whom, to use the expressive language of Dr. Cowan, he was the idol, and to the other of whom ho was united by the most tender of human ties, who was the mother of his children, and who loved him with all a wife's trusting, devoted heart. He cannot plead that it was passion, or that reason for a time left its seat, and led him on to the com mission of the foul deed. Palliation cannot even be pleaded. No; for if he were truly the author of the crime, we would have to accept the words of the Solicitor-General, and say he is indeed guilty. The crime with which he is charged is the cold-blooded, deliberate poisoning of two loving, trusting women. If he be guilty, his cruelty knew no compassion; for if it be true that he poisoned these women, he did not resort to the use of drugs that in a few hours or minutes would have put them beyond the reach of pain, but choose to practise his devilish art by slow degrees, ad ministering poison that gradually sapped the life's blood of his wife—poison which, if the charge against him be true, was administered day by day, and week after week, and yet during the two or three months that elapsed from the com mencement of her illness he is represented not as watching over the tortures and agonies of his wife, but as endeavour big to soothe those tortures and those agonies, and as hold ing lovingly in his arms, and as sleeping calmly by the side of that woman whom we are told his infernal practices had doomed to her death. This is the crime which is charged. It isnothing less; it is, I believe, much greater, for I have only attempted to pourtray those feelings which must necessarily arise in every well-regulated mind in conceiving a man guilty of so great a crime as that with which the prisoner is charged. But I think that at least I am well entitled to say that before you can hold him guilty you must have overwhelming evidence of his guilt. I say this, for I think it hardly conceivable that any being made at the hands of the great God above, unless a person utterly devoid of human sentiment and human feeling, could practise atrocities so frightful as those which are charged in the present instance. I make these remarks simply for the purpose of pointing out to you the character of the charge, because, unless you have before you the character of the charge which is named you can not well appreciate the endeavour which the Crown is seeking to establish. In regard to that evidence, I have to say that if there be any reasonable doubt in your mind as to the proof which has already been said by the prosecutor, the prisoner is entitled to the benefit of that doubt. But, gentlemen, I have yet to proceed to the con sideration of that evidence by which it is said so fearful a crime has been proved against the prisoner, for I beg to say, you must consider that the public prosecutor has not been able to assign or suggest any motive for the commission of such a crime. True it is that the Solicitor-General endea voured to show he need not assign or•suggest a motive, and I am not here to plead that murder may not be committed, though there be.no motive for murder. But still, gentlemen, in considering whether there is evidence sufficient, it is hard to throw out of view whether or not there are considerations which might in any degree have impelled him to the commission of these crimes. All the Crown have been able to suggest is, I think, those trifles arising from the alleged connection he had with Mary M'Leod, and the expectation of some succession to be de rived through the death of the mother-in-law, Mrs. Taylor. Gentlemen, if Mary M'Leod is to be believed, if without corroboration whatever her statement is to be taken for truth, if in the absence of proof, if any familiarity whatever ob served in that household between the prisoner and her— and I cannot think there is a motive which could influence the prisoner to the commission of these crimes—the motive seems to - be, if I understand it, a desire to marry that girl, Mary M'Leod ; to marry a girl whose person he previously possessed ; and to carry out that intention he should tread over the dead bodies of these two defenceless women. That may have been a motive for some ono to commit the crime, but it is impossible to conceive it to be a motive to him. In the case of Mrs. Taylor, surely the motive is less. It ap pears the Crown have been at pains to show that this unhappy man had his bank account overdrawn to the ex tent of £360 ; and that he had borrowed upon two policies of insurance effected in 1851, and they tell you that, though he was the idol o f M rs . T a yl or , an d was able, I dare say, is receive anything that she could give him, notwithstand ing he obtained some chance of a succession of the will in connection with which he had no idea of the existence. This was a succession the benefit of which he only had when his children obtained their majority. It is not in human nature to believe that these motives assigned, as suggested by the Crown, could in the least degree have actuated any human being to the commission of offences so hideous as these. Now, therefore, you must approach the consideration of the evi dence in this case, keeping full before you the fearful crimes which aro charged against the prisoner, and also keeping before you that there is no assignable motive that can be suggested to impel him to the commission of these crimes. My learned friend says it was so like a doctor to, do all this, that probably you could trace therein the finger of a medical man. Consider the likelihoods. You heard in evidence that antimony was a poison that _could be traced in the body. Being a medical man, the prisoner would not have used such a poison if he had desired to hide Lis crime; he would have resorted to occult poisons. The Crown said that he had opportunity of committing this crime, and that he was in possession of the means. It is quite true that opportunity is a great topic in this court; but it could scarcely be brought to bear in this case ; for the place of a husband was the bedside of his wife. If opportunity be pressed against the pri soner, facts much more strong than exist in this case should be found. Was it remarkable he was possessed of the means of killing by being in possession of these poisons ? Why he was by profession a doctor. No doubt he was in possession of a large quantity ; but see how little you can trust to the evidence of the Crown upon that point ; for witnesses were in the box to-day who said they sold less than nalf an ounce at a time, and were in the habit of selling large quantities of that strong tincture in the course of the year. No doubt, however, he was in possession of these substances to the extent shown, and the Crown were entitled to make use of that fact. But how far is it possible to show he had - obtained poisons for the purpose of committing murder ? I can hardly conceive of the prisoner being the poisoner. It is a perfectly incredible suggestion to say that when ho was in the course of administering the poison to his wife ho should have suffered himself if ho had, and taken no notice of it. I think I shall be able to show that all the articles of poisoned food in question could not have reached the lips of Mrs. Taylor or Mrs. Pritchard without passing at least through other hands than those of the prisoner's, and it is odd enough that, in regard to each of these throe articles of poisoned food, the person who administered or carried away this food was the girl Mary M'Leod. These are preliminary observations which I think it right. to make. It will not do, I repeat, to proceed upon conjec ture, suspicion, and probabilities.. You can only proceed upon proof as distinct from conjecture, suspicion, and pro bability. It will not do for the Solicitor-General, in con ducting this case, to say, "I have established that one of two persons must have committed this crime, and you can probably have the finger of a medical man in the com mission of this crime." Probability will never establish a conviction. It will not do for my learned friend to say that only the prisoner or Mary M'Leod could have committed the crime, and that it is not likely that a girl of fifteen could have had the skill to do it. Did you not observe that he shrank from the onus of proving what he said ho should at the commencement. Mr. Clark concluded his address at half-past four, after which the court rose.
