MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market is still in a very firm con dition, and the inquiry is active for loans as well as for the negotiation of commercial bills. Bankers and bill brokers are not very well supplied ; they consequently show an indisposition to transact business under 4 per cent.—the official rate. The Brazilian Loan having been so successful no doubt affects the market, as it will lead to shipments of Specie ; but one of the principal influences in force IS the large circulation of notes and gold in the agricultural districts for harvest purposes. In consequence of the recent continued activity and firmness of the discount market it was supposed that the Bank of. England return for the past week Would prove unsatisfactory, but the results, as will be seen from the subjoined analysis, arc not un favourable : Active Circulation .£2l 319 055 Decrease ••• ••• ••• ••• 76,005 Bullion ... ~. ... ... ... ... 14,219,842 , - Increase 64,263 -nest 3 , 801,170 ... ... ___ Increase ••• ...I. ••• ••• 53,247 Public Deposits ..• ••• •.. ••• ••• 6,820,869 Increase ... ... ... ... 499,239 Other Deposits ... ... ... ... ... 13,5 6 7,5 7 7 Decrease ... ... ... ... 293,402 B oren.

There is a diminution the discounts of £520,000, of £360,000 in the notes in circulation, and an addition of £208,000 to treasury balances, which at this period of the year laay be partially attributed to afalling off of £250,000 ill the amount of the current accounts. Two O'CLOCK. Stagnation still prevails in almost all departments Of the Stock Exchange, but notwithstanding the apathy of the public, both as regards investments and speculations, prices are exceedingly well main tained. Consols have continued steady at 894 I for nioney, and at about 89/ 4 for the account, but in the latter no dealings have been officially recorded. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have been dealt in at 871 88 ; India 5 per Cents., at 1051 ; and the Enfaced 5 per Cents. at 89. Foreign Stocks have generally remained in a steady position, but Mexican have shown a little heaviness. The latest prices of the principal Secu rities have been as follows :—Turkish Consolides, 491 4 ; Mexican, 25 4 ; do. New, 24 1 ; Greek, 2 1 4 ; Spanish Passive, 30 4 ; do. Certificates, 14i 1 5 ; the Confederate Loan, 7 8 ; Brazilian Scrip is 24 I. • In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and prices have remained without Change of importance. Brighton and North Eastern (Berwick) have each improved 10s., ana Great Western have declined 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines are in moderate request, at strong rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain ra ther firmer. European Bank are dealt in at 12/ I; London and Brazilian at 441 451 ; Bank of Austra lasia at 76} ; Union of London at 53;, 54 ; Fore- Street Warehouse at 84 9 ; Overend, Gurney, and Company are quoted 4i prem. ; Atlantic Tele graph Company, 1! 2 per share ; and Transatlantic Steamship at 2 2* prem.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OP OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. —Thomas Edward Lovett, described as an agent, charged with obtaining a quantity of furniture, of the value of £l6, from Mr. Nash, upholsterer, of Princes-street, Leices ter-square, by false pretences, was again brought before Mr. Knox. Mr. Davis, from the office of Mr. Howell, Cheapside, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Fryer for the defence. The case has three or four times been before the court, and Mr. Knox now discharged the prisoner, stating that a noticeable feature in the case was that there had been no attempt on the part of the prisoner after obtaining the goods to dispose of them. Mr. Fryer having intimated that there was a probability of the prisoner bringing an action for false imprisonment against Mr. Nash, Mr. Knox said he certainly would not advise such a step to be taken, Mr. Nash having, he con sidered, good grounds for giving the prisoner into custody. WESTMINSTER. A FRlvoLous CHARGE.—Mr. John Meiklam, gentleman, was charged with stealing a gold hunt cup, two blankets, and other property, belonging to Mrs. Julia Strickland, a lady, residing at 25, Cumberland-street, Pimlico. Mr. Howe defended. Mrs. Julia Strickland said—l am a married woman. My husband's name is Frederick Edward. lam separated from him for some years, and have been visited by gentle men. Prisoner lived with me for five years up to two years ago. Ho has not lived with me since. He Las been in the habit of sleeping there, not with me. I went to Worthing a week ago, and while I was absent he came with another man, broke open the press, and stole the gold cup, two blankets, a quilt, and other property. In reply to a question from Mr. Selfe and Mr. Howe, she said prisoner gave her the cup some years ago. The blankets another gentleman bought. She persisted that she had not lived with him three weeks ago, but did not deny that she wrote and asked him to go to Worthing with her, and that he gave her £l3 the day before to re deem some earrings. The servant was called, a decent Irish girl, with two years' character from last situation, but her evidence went for nothing. Mr. Selfe, after some remarks upon the merits and de merits of the case, ordered prisoner to appear next Friday, entering into his own recognisances. • • SOUTHWARK. DRUNKENNESS AND ASSAULT.—henry Ibbete, a work ing man, was charged before Mr. Burcham this morning with assault and damage, under the following cirew;o.- stances : William Gurdon said that he was a barman at the Rockingham Arms, Newington-causeway. About half past 11 o'clock last night, as he was serving in the bar, the prisoner came in quite drunk, and commenced to create a great disturbance. He refused to leave and became very violent. With the sssistance of another barman he succeeded in ejecting him from the premises, but not until hetdelibe rately thrust his fist through a pane of glass value £5. Wm. Neven, another barman, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness, and said that he assisted in getting the prisoner out of the premises, and in doing so was as saulted by him. He saw him distinctly break the pane of glass and strike the last witness. The prisoner, who had a black eye, gave a very different version of the affair. According to his account the first witness assaulted him without any provocation, and when he was knocked down the other witness kicked him in a most brutal manner. He called a witness, who, not being present at the time, could prove nothing. The Magistrate said it was evident that the prisoner had so misconducted himself as to render his expulsion from the premises necessary. Those who had so ejected him were perfectly justifiable, and even if he had been assaulted in the way he described, be had no ground of legal com plaint, as he was resisting those who were authorised to remove him. He fined him 6d. for the assault and £5 for the damage, or, in default, ono month's imprisonment. The prisoner applied to be allowed to pay the fine by instalments, which the magistrate refused. THAMES. A PERSEVERING DESTRUCTITE.—George Brown, a very tall man about 40 years of age, and without coat or waist coat, which he had pawned for drink, was brought before Mr. W oolrych, charged with window breaking. Mr. James Steers, the proprietor of a house of public en tertainment known as the West India Dock House, in Pop lar, said ho had been frequently annoyed by the prisoner, who had threatened to break all his windows and after wards break his heart. A month ago the prisoner delibe rately broke two panes of glass in the front window, and was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour. Last night the prisoner came be-• fore the house, and, with a stone s deliberately broke two panes of glass in the same sash. The value of them was 12s. cnartes Stewart, a tailor, saw the prisoner brocax tho two panes of glass last night. The prisoner—l was drunk; that is all, sir. Mr. Woolrych—You are a mischievious,ill-minded man. I sentence you to pay 12s. value, and 15s. fine, or be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for 21 days, and also to enter into your own recognisance in the sum of £lO to keep the peace to the prosecutor and all her Majesty's sub jects for the space of six months. THE TERROR OE THE WHITECHAPEL - ROAD. —James King, a boy of 15, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 131bs of beef, the property of ➢lr. Hugman, butcher, in the Mile-end-I%M. A young woman, named Susan Collins, saw the prisoner take a piece of beef from her master's board and run away with it. He was pursued, and threw away the beef which was recovered. Its value was Bs. Bd. William Hunt, 424 K, said the prisoner had been in cus tody before, and was the terror of the Whitechapel-road. Mr. Woolrych—To all the inhabitants of that long road Hunt—Yes, sir, to all. (A laugh.) Mr. Woolrych—What are the dangers they dread ? Hunt—He snatches the meat off their boards, or any ho can lay his hands on. _ Mr. Woolrych—T hey dread his pilfering propensities. I am afraid the prisoner is a confirmed young thief, but as Clore is no proof of a former conviction, although he has been in custody, I shall begin with a mild punishment, one month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Only a moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re ceived fresh up to our market to-day. For good and fine samples there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm ; otherwise, the English wheat trade was quiet, at late rates. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions only a moderate business was transacted, yet no change took place in prices as compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain wore in slow request, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was only moderate. The trade, however, ruled quiet, at previous quotations. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities were in steady request, and prices rulod firm. _ . Both beans and peas were scantily offered, and the trade was firm at full currencies. Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly at late rates, ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

JAME HALL. _..~ - The " original and veritable" Christy Minstrels have commenced their winter season in London at St. James's llall. The entertainment of the Christy Minstrels has always been a pleasant and agreeable one, and doubtless the present season will be no exception to those given during their last visit to the metropolis, which we are told is nearly five years ago. Amongst them are Messrs. G. W. Moore, J. 1). Crocker, J. Ritter, and 11. Hamilton, and they are assisted by Mr. Horace Norman, Mr. J. Raw linson, Mr. Winter Haigh, Mr. J. H. Williams, &c. - The performances comprise an ample variety , of novelties, and each section of the enter tainment is illustrated by dioramic scenery, which greatly enhances the general effect. Comic songs, sentimental songs, eccentric songs and dances, instrumental solos, together with a . succession of dramatic scenes, are given with great rapidity and much profusion. The whole entertainment is well put together, and the burlesque element prevails to a sufficient extent to render it impossible for the audience .to lapse into serious contemplation. The accommodation and comfort of the audience has been carefully studied in every respect ; but it is only due to Mr. F. Burgess to state that he inva riably succeeds in pleasing his vast and extensive circle of acquaintances, who look upon him as one of the best acting managers before the public. St. Martin's Hall. Another conjuror, and a very clever one, too, has appeared as a public entertainer, at St. Martin's Hall. M. Raphael de Mele has acquired some celebrity abroad, and from the neatness and dex terity with which his tricks are nightly performed he will doubtless increase his popularity as a presti digitateur. His programme is varied nightly, so that one increasing tide of novelty is kept up ; but some of his experiments are so exceedingly well performed and applauded that they . are repeated nightly with great success. The mutilated card is a clever experiment, but the invisible balls we candidly confess puzzled us, and we admit that we failed to discover how a number of balls disappeared from one box only to appear in another made of glass. The Wonderful Distiller, is a good and effective trick, and so also is that performed with the broken plate and looking-glass. The Chevalier, in the course of the evening, makes a very profuse distri bution of flowers, and other small presents, the entertainment concluding with some very graceful dancing by two juvenile performers, which in variably calls forth loud applause.

The Alleged Poisoning of a 7v:otuag Lady by her Lover. -------- .e, ---- A portion of the folloWing appeared in on r ThirdEclition of last evening :- SALISEVRY, Thursday. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending le death of Miss Emily Sophia Blake, aged 19, who was alleged to have been poisoned by William John Storer, a surgeon, and late assistant to the father of the deceased lady, was resumed this morning at the Town Hall. The prisoner was not present at the inquiry, Superintendent Caldow aaidL-I went to Yalmouth on Thursday, the 7th of September, to appreliwnd William John Storer. I did not meet with him there, but went on the Bth to Eketer, and from there to Topsham. I found him there. I informed him that I was come to apprehend him, and read the warrant which I had. I searched his person in Mr. Salter's house. He wished to go up-stairs, when I said, " Mr. Storer, you must recollect . you are my prisoner, and where you go I must go." When I read the warrant to him, he said, " I did not murder her. I have been absent from her father's house three weeks." I gave him the usual caution, and then said, " Mr. Storer, did you give Miss Blake any medicine previous to her leaving her father's house, or have you sent her any since leaving her father's house ?" His reply was " No, nerd." He then said, "Is she dead ?" and I said, " Yes, poor girl, she is." He then said, "If she is dead, her father is the cause of it." Then it was he went up stairs into his bedroom, and took out of his coat a bundle of letters, and placed them on the dressing table. I said, " Mr. Storer, I must take possession of those letters, and everything else that belongs to you here." After washing himself we came down stairs. He opened his portmanteau, and I saw a quantity of letters and wear ing apparel. I left the house with him, and got my war rant backed. I took him to Exeter, and thence to Salis bury. I. afterwards went to Falmouth to the prisoner's lodgings, and there I found two cases, one of which con tained a small medicine chest and a number of letters. In the medicine chest there was a variety of drugs, which I have shoWed to Mr. Martin Coates and Dr. Blackmore. There were also sonic drugs in the dressing case. I took one packet of drugs out of the medicine chest to Professor Taylor on Monday last. The pink paper produced con tains six grains, and the professor has taken five grains out of it. It has on it a portion of a label, of which the letters " tyre" only remain. The Coroner then read The letters found by Superin tendent Caldow. The following were amongst the corre spondence : One of the letters says:—" Thanks, darling, for the powders. I have taken two, but no good yet. Mamma wrote to aunt and said it is my time ; I was to take care of myself. Do' you think you had better send me something stronger? I mean pills=-also more powders. lam always down in the morning to take the letters out of the box, so you need. not fear sending the pills, so long as I have them in the morning. I hope 1 shall be all right before I come home, for mamma will be sure to ask me on Friday. Write to morrow. Good bye, pot." No. 2 : " My Darling,—Mamma says that papa is in a way about me, and is going to examine me. Do you think ho will find it all out. Mind, I shall still say you have taken no liberties with me. Say yes or no to ' Fernand& whether he will find it out or not. Burn this." No. 3 : "Dear Pet,—Do you think you will go away before Saturday ? If you eh you will write to me, darling, won't you. But I hope you won't go. I think if you get better by the change you may come back again; that is, if you want to. Do give me something to make me poorly by to-morrow, or mamma will know it ; and if you love me you,will seek to keep all trouble from me. Oh, lam miserable. I really think it too bad of you not to send me something to bring it up." . No. 4 i " Mamma asked me this morning if lam poorly. It has not come on at all. If it does not come on this evening or to-morrow morning mamma will find it out, and then papa will examine me ; that is what it will be. Oh, you don't know how miserable I am. Do put me up something this morning for it, and put it in the back parlour, where you are going to put the other. Do you think that I shall be all right? I thought I should have been yesterday after what you said. I don't know what I shall do. I shall die if lam not. If you love me, darling, you will try all you can not to get me into trouble. Now don't forget to put me up something directly after breakfast." • No. 5 : "It is just coming on, darling, a little. I don't think I ought to take any more pills, and that I shall be all right now." Letter No. 6 was of similar purport to Nog. 3 and 4. The Coroner then read some letters which had been pro duced by Superintendent Caldow. Mr. Leich, a juror—l should like you to ask Mrs Blake a few questions on those letters. Mrs. Blake having been sent for, The Coroner said—Had you, before Mr. Storer left, any cause 0-imams - Inc. that there b.u.a haan imprnpar tuninAction between Mr. Storer and your daughter? Mrs. Blake—None whatever. The Coroner—Had you any reason to suspect it ? Mrs. Blake—No. The Coroner—ls it a fact that you were frequently making inquiries of her as to her irregularities ? Mrs. Blake—l might have asked once. The Coroner—These letters state that you had threat ened to have her examined by her father. Have you ever threatened there should be a strict investigation of her by her father ? Mrs. Blake—No, I have not. I keep the key of the letter box, and the deceased could not get the letters out of the box without my knowledge unless she possessed another key. The Coroner.—l think these letters which have been read show that there was a considerable degree of intimacy between the parties. Some other letters were put in and partly read by the coroner. They were letters sent by Storer to the deceased, and couched in the warmest terms of a lover, but as they did not affect the question under consideration the coroner refused to admit them as evidence. The Court then adjourned till half-past ono, for the arrival of Professor Taylor. On the reassembling of the court, Dr. Taylor was sworn, and in answer to the coroner said —That report (produced) contains a correct statement of the result of the analysis of the stomach, the intestines, the pills, the liver, and some blood which were delivered to me by Mr. Collins, the clerk to the coroner, on the 7th of September. The report was as follows : " On Thursday, Sept. 7, 1865, I received from Mr. Col lins, at my house, No. 15, St. James's-terrace, Regent's park—first, a jar containing, as it was alleged, portions of the viscera of deceased; second, a small bottle; and, thirdly, a box containing pills. "I re-sealed these articles with the exception of the box of pills, which was already distinctly sealed with the im pression of a cock, and delivered them on the following morning, Friday, Sept. 8, to my assistant, Mr. Richard Prior, to be placed in a private room in the laboratory, Guy's Hospital, until the result of an application to the Secretary of State was known. " On Monday evening, Sept. 11, I received an order from the Secretary (Sir G. Grey) to make the requisite analysis in this case. "On Tuesday, Sept.:l2, I proceeded to examine these articles in the chemical laboratory, Guy's Hospital. They were re-delivered to me by Mr. Prior, my assistant, who had kept them locked up in the interim. I then observed that the seals were unbroken, and that the three packets were precisely in the same condition as when I delivered them to Mr. Prior on Friday morning. " Tan Box OF Puzs.—This was contained in two paper wrappers—the outer one of a pink colour, sealed with the impression of a cock, and labelled in writing ink, ' 12 pills found in Miss Blake's drawer.' The innerpaper wrap per was white, soiled, and marked with ink stains—nothing legible. It had a broken seal, with a lion rampant. The box itself was an ordinary white pill-box, but without any address upon it, or any writing to indicate how the pills were to be taken. The pills in the box were 12 in num ber. The average weight of each was rather more than four grains. They were of a brown colour, and had an aromatic smell. They were soft, as if made with treacle or syrup. Under the microscope they presented no unusual, appearance. No crystalline or mineral matter could be per ceived in them. They contained neither arsenic, antimony, nor mercury ; but they contained a large proportion of sugar with vegetable matter, similar to the aromatic con fection of the Pharmacopeia. " Three of the pills, weighing 12.6 grains, were sub mitted to the usual process for the detection of strychnia and other alkaloids of the like nature. Strychnia was separated from them in a crystallised state, and distinctly identified by all its principal chemical properties. The de coction of the pills in water and spirit had the intensely bitter taste of strychnia ; this taste remained upon the tongue for more than au hour. " From the three pills a quantity of strychnia equivalent to half a grain was separated. Assuming that the strychnia was equally distributed, among them, this would make a proportion of one-sixth part of a grain for each pill. By another chemical process the strychnia contained in the half of another pill was extracted. This was found to be equivalent to one-ten part of a grain, or representing one fifth part of a grain for each pill. (The strychnia was here produced.) Considering that it is exceedingly difficult to extract the whole of the strychnia contained in a pill under such circumstances, it may be inferred that each pill would not contain less than from one-sixth to one-fifth of a grain, and that three pills would therefore contain from three fifths to one-half of a grain. Three other pills, taken from the other box, were made iuto an extract with spirit (for dissolving the strychnia), and one-half of this extract was placed within a, wound made in the skin of a rabbit. In four minutes the animal was seized with the usual tetanic con vulsions which are produced by strychnia. These followed each other in rapid succession, and the animal died in three minutes, making altogether seven minutes from the time at which the extract equivalent to one pill and a half was placed beneath the eldn. " Tun BOTTLE 07 BLOOD.—This was a green glass 40z. ‘QttiO se led, sSals unDrOtoi. It contained 7 drachma," or 661 a CE 121 9i 105 iBt 124 5 1291 128 I 72 66f 5S 3 11 4 2 flf 1 about a tablespoonful of blood of a dark crimson colour, not putrid. It presented no unusual appearance under the mi croscope, and chemical analysis did not show in it the pre sence of any strychnine. The quantity here examined is equivalent to only one 500th part of the blood contained in the body of an adult. " THE CONTEXTS OF THE JAR.—The jar contained-1. The stomach unopened and the two ends properly secured by ligatures, so that none of the contents had escaped ; 2.. the large and small intestines ; 3 . a portion of the liver ;, and 4. the spleen. These organs, it may be observed, were healthy, and presented no appearance which would account for death. They were remarkably free from putrefaction. As to the stomach, on the outside of this organ there was a deep patch of a red colour corresponding to the situation of the spleen. When opened, the stomach was found to.contain about six ounces by measure of half digested food of a thick pasty consistence and of a sour smell, as if it had undergone fermentation after death. N o pills could be seen in the contents, but the following sub stances were recognised and separated :—The pipes and skins as well as the pulp of apples. French beans, the fibre of meat, and a quantity of bread (starchy matter), as well as fat. These were partially digested, showing that death must have taken place suddenly, soon after a full meal had been made. There was no odour of prussic acid, spirits, or other poisonous volatile liquids. The contents were acid, probably as a result of the fermentation of the food. The inner surface of the stomach presented a few patches of congestion, and it was slightly reddened, but there was no appearance of disease to account for death. The whole of the contents, with the mucus scraped from the inner sur face of the stomach, were submitted to the same chemical processes as the pills for the detection of strychnia. The result was that slight traces of the substance was detected in the liquid portion of the contents. Tho intestines pre sented nothing unusual, either internally or externally. They were in some places reddened, apparently as the re sult of cadaveric congestion ; but on opening them they contained the usual healthy substances daived from digested food, and the lining membrane presented no ap pearance of disease. As to the liver and spleen, four ounces of the liver and the whole of the spleen were minutely examined for strychaia, but no trace of this poison was detected in either organ. " The conclusions which I draw from this analysis are— " Firstly, That the pills containel-strychnia io, aquan tity sufficient to cause death according to the number taken. " Secondly, That there were traces of strychnia in the contents of the stomach. " Thirdly, That there were no strychnia in the liver, spleen, and blood. (Signed) "ALFRED SWAINE TAYLOR, M.D., F.R.S., Fellow of the College of Physicians, and Professor of Medical Jurispru dence and Chemistry in Guy's Hos pital." The Coroner—Assuming three pills of a similar charac ter had been taken shortly before the death of the deceased, and that they contained a similar amount of strychnia to that which you examined, would you have expected to find greater or more distinct traces of the strychnia, in the stomach of the deceased ? Professor Taylor—No, I should not ; the dose was very small. The smallest quantity of strychnine that has been known to destroy an adult is half a grain. I should state that the longer a person lives after the strychnine has been taken the less it can be discovered, as it becomes absorbed. The Coroner—Would you have expected to find it in the blood, or the liver, or the spleen ? Professor Taylor—No, I should not. I have made a calculation, and find that had the whole of the strl chnine been there there would have been only 1-50th of the grain to a pound of blood. The quantity was too small to ex pect to find it. The same answer applies to the liver and spleen. Strychnine is given in cases of paralysis and nervous affection, but the medical dose would commence at the twentieth part of a grain, and be increased to a twelfth, or even tenth part of a grain. I may add that symptoms of poisoning begin in doses of from half to a third of a grain, and actual death has taken place in two known instances from a quantity similar to that which is before you now. The quantity of strychnine found in the deceased is consistent with either a poisonous or a medici nal dose. From the traces found in the stomach I can draw no inferences ; the residue was consistent with either, as I have already stated, so that I can form no conclusion as to the cause of death. Ido not consider that strychnine would be a proper medicine for the purpose of procuring abortion. I have never known it used for such a purpose, and can conceive no other effect from it than convulsions resulting in death. The action of strychnine is over the voluntary muscles, but I have never heard of it having any action on the uterus. One pill would not destroy life, two would jeopardise it, and three would be certain to prove fatal to any one. It is possible that one pill might contain more strychnine than the other, but from the analysis I made I take it that the strychnine in them was pretty equally divided, and that any adult taking three of them would die. There were no directions on the box, and that is very improper in a medicine of that na ture. It is not usual to give strychnine in pills ; it is usually given in solution, as it can be meie ...eeurateiy apportioned in that form. By Mr. Whatman—l have never personally known strychnine to be given medicinally to correct feminine irregularities; it has been used by Dr. Bardsley and others with benefit. _ By the Coroner—The other portions of the pills were made up of aromatic confection. I should say that no medical man would venture to give the dose of strychnia 1 found in one pill for the purpose of correcting feminine irregularities. Three of those pills I should say would act in half an hour after they had been taken, as they were composed of soft materials, and would soon break up in the stomach and let the poison out. All poisons are more or less slow of action, according to whether the stomach is full or empty. By the Jury—The pills were apparently made up by a person thoroughly acquainted with medicine. By Mr. Kelsey—Battle's vermin powder contains strychnia to the extent of a grain and a half in the six penny packet. Strychnia has been given as a tonic for in digestion or disorders of the stomach, but in very small doses in all cases. Had the deceased taken one pill she might have died, but in a recent case within my know ledge the same quantity produced in a man all the symp toms of poisoning to an alarming extent. Assuming that I had not heard anything of the pills 1 should not have considered that the strychnia I found would have been sufficient to account for death. By the Coroner—On the 19th of September I received from Superintendent Caldow a white crystallised sub • stance weighing 11 grains. It is strychnia. The Coroner then read over the evidence of Mr. Coates and Dr. Blackmore. Professor Taylor—Having heard that evidence, my opi nion is that the symptoms described are consistent with poisoning by strychnia, and not with any known disease, and also such symptoms as I should expect to arise from taking three of those pills, and to be followed by death. Mr. Blake was recalled and said—l have not had strych nine in my place for twelve months past. By Mr. Kelsey—l kept in the surgery saccharated cyanide of iron with strychnine in it, and any one could go to it. I parted with Storer on apparently good terms, but I did not invite him to come and see me if he was passing through Salisbury. Professor Taylor, recalled by Mr. Whatman—Battle's vermin killer contains flour coloured with soot or indigo, which constitutes 58 parts out of 60 of it. If any person wanted the strychnia out of it he must get it done by a skilled hand. Superintendent Caldow recalled, and proved that Stdrer made a statement before the city magistrates, and that in that statement he said he never had any strychnine in his possession. Fanny Bevan, housemaid to Mr. Blake, proved that Miss Blake called for a candle about half-past nine on the night of her death and at once went up to bed. She had seen the deceased all day, and she was quite cheerful the whole day. Miss Blake did not appear to be distressed at Mr. Stcrer's leaving. The box produced (the medicine chest) witness recognised as Mr. Storer's. She had seen it in his bed-room frequently on the table under the bookshelf. He took it away with him. Never heard him speak of it as a medicine chest. It was about half-past eleven when deceased screamed out. Had waited on her, but never saw her take medicine. Mrs. Blake also identified the medicine chest as Mr. Storer's. The Coroner then summed up at considerable length, and directed the attention of the jury to certain facts. Ile said there could be no doubt chat Miss Blake had died from an overdose of strychnine, and the statements of the deceased showed that she had received the medicine from Mr. Storer. If he had administered it in ignorance, it would be their duty to return a verdict of manslaughter, but if the strychnine was maliciously given it would then amount to wilful murder. He then referred to other portions of th e evidence, bearin g u p on the connectio n of Storer Ivith the strychnine and the pills, and pointed out matters upon which they would have to find their verdict. The jury retired at half-past five, and returned into court with the following verdict :—" We find that tho de ceased, Emily Sophia Blake, died from the effects of strychnine, taken by her in three pills, given to her by William John Storer; and we find a verdict of manslaugh ter against the said William John Storer." The Coroner then made out his warrant of committal of the prisoner on the charge of manslaughter. Although the crowd was very great in the court the best order was preserved, which was entirely to be attributed to the excellent arrangements made by Superintendent Caldow. M. Berryer has been preparing his own tomb at A.ngervillo, by the side of that which contains tho remains of his father, his mother, his wife, and his brother the general.

Edward Stack, 39, and Eleanor Stack, 28, man and wife, were charged upon an indictment, and also upon a coro ner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of their male child.

THE CASE OF ESTHER LACK—TILE BERMONDSEY muitroEn. Esther Lack, aged 41, was indicted for the wilful murder of Christopher, Eliza, and Esther Lack, her three children. Mr. Lilley prosecuted. The first witness was the eldest son of the prisoner. He told a melancholy tale, the details being those which were narrated in the police reports. His mother was or dered to go to the hospital, when she said. " I do not like to go to the hospital, and leave my children to the world's charity." He had often heard his mother speak of things that were irrational and not true. He gave many instances, showing that the unfortunate woman laboured under severe mental delusions.
