These examples show the respective amounts of the Bonus - ALREADY - DECLARED and TESTED. Under the provision made at the last investigation for the payment of au INTERMEDIATE BONUS,-in the case of Policies becoming Claims by death during the current Septennial period, the whole amounts respectively payable under the above Policies, in the event of the risks now emerging, would be considerably more than those stated in the last column. Thus, supposing the life assured by the first policy to drop daring the present year, the amount payable under the 10001. Policy would be, not 20niz. Is. Bd., but 21731. ss. ,2d. In all cases where the member is not incapacitated in any way from dealing with his Policy, he has the option of con verting the Reversionary Claim for whatever Bonus has been added to it, into an equivalent present payment in cash, or of applying the same towards extinction or reduction of the future Premiums. As showing the effect of such conversion or application, the cases of the above Policies may be taken. The amount of additions to the second Policy being 5901. Is. IGd., the member might at the present time surrender the reversionary claim therefor, and receive in cash a sum of 3301. 19s. 11d. Or, he might surrender the reversionary claim 'for bonus to the extent of 4671 12s. ld., and be relieved from any further payment of the premiums exigible in terms of the pdliey, retaining a claim for the remainder of the addi tions already made, namely, 1121. Os. 9d., and for any further bonus to be declared in future. In the case of the third Policy, to which there are additions of 4071. 12s. 31, the member, on surrendering these might either receive a sum of 2281. 12s. 9d. in cash, or ho might have all future premiums exigible_in terms of the policy reduced from the original amount of 311. 17s. 6d. to 91. 2s. Or again, he might, by renouncing right to 2041. ss. 6d. of the bonus, have the premiums exigible in terms of th e policy from this date to the close of the year 1859, four in number, altogether extinguished, reserving to himself a claim for the balance of 2031. 6s. 9d., and for any further addition by way of bonus to be afterwards declared. , Prospectuses, containing full information in regard to the above, and other points connected with the Society's history and practice, may be obtained at the Head Office, or from any of the various Agents.

I consi ler Cook was drunk at the time. I had some. drink with them. They proposed to have a glass ot brandy awl water. They each-ball one. Cook Made some remark, and fancied it was not good. He drank part of it, and made the remark " he r thought there was something in it." Palmer tasted it and said he (lid not think there' was anything in it. Cook proposed to have some more, and Palmer said he would not have any more unless Cook drank his brandy and water up. They had no more brandy, and Cook went ,to bed. I slept in the same room with Palmer. The brandy was brought in in a decanter. Each took from the same, but mine was poured out, but I don't know by whom. I never left the room the whole of the time until we all went to bed. I never saw anything put into the brandy and water during the time I was present. It could not hare been put in without my seeing it. , Wheil Palmer and myself quitted the sittine-room to go to bed we left Cook there. Nothing occurred during the night. When we went to bed I locked the door. Palmer in the morn ing asked me to go and call Cook. I did so. I went to Cook's door and rapped. He told me to come ie. I went in and and he told me how ill he had been during the night. Cook said he had been obliged to send for the doctor, and he asked me what had been put in the brandy and water, and I said that I Aid not know that anything had been put in. He asked me to' send Palmer 'to• him: I did so. When I saw Cook next it was at breakfast. Palmer and myself had breakfasted before Cook came in. He (Cook) hari his breakfast in the same room. We e nll three left by the express train for Rugeley that night. We dined at the Raven before leaving. We left Shrewsbury about six o'clock. Palmer paid for the three railway tickets. On the road Palmer was sick. We he stepped at the Junction Inn, close to the railway station, there being no train to go on. Palmer, said, it - must be the brandy or the water that caused him to vomit.: I heard that a great many persons had hien - ill at Sbrewsbury races without any accountable 'causei We travelled nine miles in a fly. . . . Cross-eXaniined by Mr. E. James—l .have: known Palmer all his life. He deals with me for sad dlery. I am not in the habit of going to races with 'him. I was not at - Doncaster • races with him. I have been at Doncaeter once' in my life, but not with 'the prisoner. I bare been to the last Wolverhamp ton races with him. I did not sleep -With.' Palnier dur ing the time I was there. I did not atop at the same house. I slept at my brother in-law's. I was at Wol verhampton for two days. I neither dined nor break fa-ted with Palmer during the time I was at the Lich field races .with him. The course is ten miles from Rugeley. I slept at house 9t that occasion. I think that's about all the races I was. at last year. • I don't recollect ever sleeping with Palmer but once in - a double-bedded room. I have never, been at any other races and lodged at the same hotel with Palmer but Shrewsbury. I have never slept at Wolverhampton in my life. Palmer paid my expenses to Shrewsbury, but on no other occasion. I have visited Palmer in Stafford, Jail. I remained with him a couple of hours. I cannot recollect whether it was before the assizes. I went be cause Mr. Smith was going, and I thought 1 should like ttesee him. -Insed to lay Gut a sovereign on his horses, lent never more. I did not bet on Palmer's horses at Shrewsbury. I did not back Polestar. When I have betted half a sovereign or a sovereign I have " stood " with Palmer to that amount. I first saw Cook at about 12 o'clock, at the Raven, on Wednesday night. I had not been dining with Palmer. On Wednesday night I went to the Ratren, , and, knowing -the room Palmer generally occupied, I went up to see whether he was there. It was between 8 and 9 o'clock. The first thing I saw was Cook putting on his coat outside the door. He said, " Hilloa, what brings you here." I said I came to see hew they were getting on. Palmer was not - in hie room, so I went into the town. I returned to the Raven in about 'an hour and went into Palneee's sitting-room; and I waited in the room until he returned. There was a per on named Shelley present. I viatitted about a couple Of hours. I should say it was about 12 o'clock. I had no watch. He came in with Mr. Cook, who was the worse for liquor. ' lie was not very drunk ; but. I could see he was the worse for liquor. The brandy and water . was had after this. The brandy tree brought in in a 1 decanter, and the water was on the table. Tne tumblers and the brandy were brought up together. I don't re member Mrs. Brooks coming. I don't remember Palmer being called out of the room.. - I recollect a per son who I know to be Fisher comiog in. Palmer never ' left the room after I joined the party until he went to bed. I was sitting close to him taro whole time. When Fisher came in, Cook asked Palmer to have some mere brandy and water. Palmer said he would not have any snore unless he (Cook) drank his. Cook, it was evident to everybody, was the worse for liqttor. Cook drank the brandy and water at a draught, and then he said "There's something in it." I dont know Vent he said "It burns my throat dreadfully." I wilt le isitively swear he did not say so. Cook did not Make any other observation than I have stated. Cook gave the brandy and water to some ore to taste. I think it was Fisher. I don't know a Mr. Reid. I don't know that that gentleman came into the reom. I believe theere was but four per sons present. I cannot say whet her any other person came ie before we went to bed. (soak left a small quails tity in thegless. I believe Pallier tasted it and said there was nothing the matter with it, es)o then he handed it to Fisher. I don't recollect, positievesly the remark that Fisher made. I cannot recollect that he said the glass was empty, and it was no good tee give it to him. We remained in the room half-an-hour, after the brandy and water was drunk. 'Cook did not leave the room. Pal. miser and myself left Cook in the room. I did not knoW Cook had been ill before he tol(r. me in the morning. We had one glass a-piece. It was: mixed with cold wa ter. On the following Thursday I dined with Palmer at the Raven. During the time the inquest was beini held I'was at home at Rugeley, 'hut on the last day I went to Birmingham. I did not go to the inquest at all. Re-examined—The deputy-gov error was present dug- ! ing the time I was with Palmer in; the gaol, and when he' went out another officer dime in. We did not talk about this case, but about his brother's. There was an officer present the whole of the time. By the Attorney-General—l never spoke to Mr. Gard ner about the brandy and water. I never had any con versation with Mr. Gardner about it. I spoke to Mr. Stevens in the presence of Garda er, but said nothing about the brandy and water. I tc old Crisp exabtly that which happened, and as I have eta ted this morning. Mr. Sargent—Ll know the prise finer, and I also knew the deceased. I had a letter from Cook during Shrews bury races. I have not got the N tter. I searched for it. The letter was sent to Sam uders, the trainer. I ma d e application to Saunders for it by letter, and I re- , ceived a letter in answer. I have seen Saunders since, and have made every exertion to. !get the letter referred to for Mr. Stevens. I have not a. copy of Cook's letter, but I recollect its contents well.. Sergeant Sheet—May I ask th e witness to relate its contents ? Lord Chief Justice—You ha ,d better produce Saun ders. - Sergeant Shee—lf Saunders- does not arrive, I can call this witness? The Lord Chief Justice eign;lfied his assent. Examination continued—l h ave noticed Cook's throat. I was with him at Liverpo DI the week previous to Shrewsbury races. Re call e ed my attention to his throat. I looked at it, and. 'the back part of it wag ulcered and very much infi amed. The uvula was swollen, and I said I was to in prised he 'could eat and drink in such a state. Cook said he bad been in th a t s t a te for months, and had gitven up taking medicine. Almost at every meeting we have had his throat has been spoken about. On one occasion, on the platform of the Liverpool races, he took a gin gerbread nut with caye nue in it. He took it by mistake, and afterwards .he told me it had nearly killed him. I know at Liver pool Cook was very poor: This was a week before the Si - wewsbury races. He owed me 251. He gave me 101. on account, and said he had ' not sufficient to pay his exner ties at Liverpool, but that I should have the balance, 151. ettheShrowsbury meeting. I knew Cook and Palmer we', re in the habit of "putting on" for each other, and they did so at Liverpool races. ' I put some money "on" at I eiverpool for Palmer, and he told me Cook stood with him. [ have known Cook to apply to Palmer for a sceite.io lotion. I don't knowthat it is a mercurial - lotion. • - Dr. Taylorsaid it was calomel and lime water. By Mr. E. James to witness—The lotion was not to be drank. It was at the War wick race meeting in 1855. Cook was at Newmarket ;he lived in the same house with me. He was present at. nearly all the au tumnal race meetings., The Liverpool meeting .was a week before Shrewsbury. He swallowed very well, and that surprised me. The ginger-bread nut, was.: a t4ela' nut. It was put in a bag with some other. I have tasted one, and they are very strong. • Mr. Jeremiah Smitiesaid —I -am an attorney residing at Rugeley, and knew the late Mr. Cook. I saw Mr. Cook on the 16th of November_ at the Talbot Arms. He was in bed, and his breaking was placed on his bed. He had a cup of tea, with a wineglaesful of brandy in it. He drank it. I have dime' in his company at Palmer's. On the 16th we ha-I dinner there ; we had rumpeteaks and champagne. We had port .wine after wealieed. Three bottlea were emptied, and Cook took his share. We left the house about 6 in the evening. Cook and .myself left in company. We went to my house, and then to the Albion Motel next door. We ho each a glee's of cola brandy and water. Cook left Me there. Before Cook left he said he- felt cold ; he borrowed a book, and said he wcriela go home and read it in bed. He left-about 8 o'clock. I had a conversation with .cook on ridgy alteration aboutracing. Palmer was present. I asked •Mr. Cook for money—for 50L. He . gave me 51.. and then took hie note case out- of his pocket., and I sail "You can ply me all ;" he said, "No, there's only 411. due to you." He said he had given Palmer ,money, and . he would pay me the remainder after the settling at Tattersall's. On the night fhllowing '(Sateerday)_ I elept in his room as he wee not well. Went to bed. There had been a cencert _at the hotel, which made it late. In the early part of the night he was un ellaxot wets ..teaat a aaatle-a*errealedewak,WAshi , lg his mouth and .gargliiig his throat. I cannotysay 1 whether he had vomited. Islet); till the morning, and when I awoke I heard Bamford and Palmer. talking. Cook was asked how he wig and ha ' replied • he felt better, and that he had slept between , two and three hours after the house had become quiet. Bamford said I'll send you some medicine." I don't recollect anything else. I know the prisoner's Mother. I received a message from her on the Monday night at nine o'clock. I west to her. In consequence of what• then .paseed I went to look for the prisoner. I did not find him at that hour. I saw him abont 10 mina es past 10, coining in the direction frarn Stafford in a car. He asked me whether I had seen Cook that day, and he told me I had better go to see, as before he returned from his mother's it would be. late. We afterwards went up to Cook's room together. Cook said "Doctor, you are late to-night. I did not expect you to look in. I have taken the modieine." Cook asked me why I bad not been in before, and I said I had been to Lichfield on business. Cook said " I have been up, doctor," and Palmer said, "You ought not to have been up." I don't recollect anything else. Palmer , and myself left the room, and we both went to Palnaer s :Image which was about 400 or 500 yards. We' were, there about half an boor and left together, and returned to Palmer's house: I went is with him. I ' afterwards left the home, and went hone. After dining with - Cook and Palmer on Friday, asked them to dine with me the next day. Cook did not do so ; he sent me a note to say he was unwell. I was at the Albion. I had a boiled leg of mutton for, dinner that day ; and I sent some broth to Cook by a charwoman named Rowley : - Before Cook's death I borroWed 2001:, and negotiated a loan with Pratt for 5001. That was in May. I might haie borrowed more ; but Ido not now recollect it. I know they,. were jointly 'interested in one horse, and that tliey used to bet for each other. I .have seen Thurlby dress Cook's throat with caustic-about, . the time of the Shrewsbury races. I think it, was just before. The two letters I now produce I. saw -Cook sign. They are, two notes and A memorandum. -Cook was served with a writ shortly before his death. I was not present. I cannot say that ha gave ma instruotion.s t o appear. The lett ors put in s were read by Mr. Streight, the Clerk of the Arraigns. The first was without date, and signed "J. Parsons Cool," Monday. The following is' a copy of the letter:— "My Dear Sir—l have been in a devil of a, fix about the bill, but have at last settled it at the cost of an extra two guineas, for the discounter had. issued a writ against me. lam very much disgusted . at it." The letter was sent to me, but its envelope was de stroyed. The next letter bore. date the 25th June, 1855 ; it was also without address, but" witness stated that it had been sent,to him, ,and he. had destroyed the envelcpe. The following is a Copy of the letter Dear .Terry--I should like to have the bill-renewed for two months. Can it be done? Lot me know by return. I have scratched Polestar for the Nottingham and Wolver hampton Stakes.. .J. 611111 be down on Friday or Saturday. Fred. tells me Arribas wi l l win th 6 Northumberland Stakes," The memorandum. put in and read was signed J. P. Cook, and the following is a co py " Polestar three years, Siriustwo years, by way of mort gage to secure MI. advanced upon a bill of exchange:for 2001.,. dated:29th August, 1855, payable abouttfiree months after date." Cross-examined by the AVerney-General—He was the . Mr. Smith who took Myatt toStefferd. He had known Mr. Palmer long and intimately. He had been employed. a good deal as an attorney for Palmer. lii•December, 1854, he applied to him to attest a proposal for 13,0001. to be effected in the Solicitors' and General Office, for Walter Palmer, the brother of the prisoner. It was so long ago he could not recollect whether or not he was applied for that purpeee. He did not recollect that in January, 1355, Palmer applied to hint to attest a proposal fur 13,000/. on bra brother's Walter's life in the Prince' of Wales Office. He did not know that 13,0001. was a large sum for Walter Palmer's life, as he had money, and lived dependent. Witness did not know that he was an un certified bankrupt. He knew that he was a benk rapt six years before, but he did• not know that he had done anything' since. He knew :that he had an allowance from his mother, but he did not know that it was 'a pound a: week. William Palmer frequently ge ye him money. In 1854 he resided party at William Palmer's and par tl y at Palmer's mother's. He al pt at Mrs. rainier's. How long did the habit continue of sleeping two or threw times a week at Mts.

Did William Palmer give you that 'document ?—Most likely he did. Did he, I ask again ?—lt was not signed zt the time'. But did he give it you. I will have an answer ?-r have no doubt he did. Well, then, if that document bears the signature of Walter Palmer, an 4 was given to you by Wm.

Oti, never mind the papers. Was it in October, 1855,? —I think it was. Did you send up a proposal for an insarance of 10,0001. on the life of Bates ?—I did. . Did William Palmer ask you to make that proposal , ? .--Bates and Palmer came together to my office with a prospectus, and asked me if I knew whether there was an agent for the Midland Counties Office in Rugeley. I told ,him I never heard of one, lie asked me after• wards if I would write and get the appointment, because Bates wanted to raise some money. Did you send to the Mid!and Counties Office to get the appointment of agent, in order that you might be 7 - bid pia make the appl surance effected ?—I did. tcatiton years. Had you your own lodging's and chambers at Ruge. ley ? —Yes. Your own bedroom ?—Yes. How far was your lodgings from Mrs. Palmer's house ? —Nearly a quarter of a mile. Will you be so good as to explain why, having your own place of abode, and your own bed-room so near to Mrs. Palmer's, you were still h the habit of sleeping two or three times a week for several years at the house of Mrs. Palmer ?—Yes ; sometimes there were members of Mrs. Palmer's family present. Who were they ?—There was Mr. Joseph. Palmer, who u asides at Liverpool ; Mr. Walter Palmer, too ;_ and sometimes William Palmer. When you went to see the members of Palmer's family, was it too late when you separated to return to your own lodgings ?—We used to stop very late drinking gin and water, smoking, ant sometimes afterwards playing at cards.

Upon your oath, have you ever seen that document before I—Witness (with hesitation) —It is very much like my handwriting. (Sen. sation.). I will have an answer to my qustion. Upon your oath, sir, is not that your handwriting ?--I think it is not in my handwriting. I think it is a very clever imitation of it. (Sensation.) Will you swear it is not in your handwriting I—l will swear it is not my handwriting. (Renewed sensation.) The Attorney-Gener al— Will your lordship please to take a note of that answer. Mr. Baron Alderson — Did you ever make such an at testation as that in your hand ?---I do not remember. The Attorney.General—Now is that the signature of Upon the life of Bates for 10,000/.?—l did. (Sensa tion.) Bates was at that thus superintending W. Palmer's stud and stables. I do not know at what salary. afterwards. went to the widow of Walter Palmer to get, her to give up. her claim on the policy of her husband. She was then at Liverpoel. William Palmer gaVe me a latter for Pratt to take to her to sign. Mrs. Palmer said she would like to see her solicitor about it. I brought the document back with me because sho would not sign it. I had no instructions to leave it. Did she give any reason for not signing it ! Mr Sergeant Shee objected to the question. • , The Attorney-General : Do you know whether Wal ter •Palmer received anything on executing the assign ment of his policy to Williain-Palmer ?—I believe he .ultimately.had something. . . Did be not.get a bill for 2001. ?—I believe he did, and he also got a house furnished for him. \Val that hill paid do not remember. Is that document in your handwriting [document hapled in] ? —lt is. ,No - ,v, having seen that document with yetir signature I alk you whether you were applied to to effect'an in surance' on the life of Walter Palmer ?—I do not recollect. . Not recollect I when your own signature is staring you in the face I do not. You are an attorney, and accustomed to business transactions ?—I am. Now. I ask you again, were you ,applied to on the subject may have been ;it is from my memory I am speaking, and I wish, therefore, to speak as accurate as.•pcissibls; ..(Laughter). I'don't-_ask you as to your memory in the abstract, but your memory now that it• is refreshed by that do• eminent. Is that your signature ?—Witness (hesitating) —I have no doubt it may be. Look at that document and see whether you were not applied to to effect the insurance I have named,? —That, is my signature. I ask . you. have you any doubt that in the month of January, 1855, you were called upon ti attest another pioposal fdr 13,0001. oa the life ,of Walter Palmer? — Witness (with hesitation) ; I may have sighed that paper in blank. Did you sign that proposal in blank ?-4 might have done so. • But Ali I,yen, I ask again I—l cannot swear I did, or did not. I have some doubt whether I did not sign se veral of those proposals in blank [sensation]. Upon your oath do you know that Win. Palmer ap plied to you to effect an insurance for 13,0001. on the life of his brother?--I do not remember. Why this is a very large sum, surely yin must re member such a transaction as this ?—I may have been applied to en this subject.. Was you applied to to attest another proposal for an insurance with the Universal Litaoifice ?— . l. cannot say that I was. Will you swear that when Walter Palmer executed tbs. deetof assignment of his policy to Wm. Palmer, that you were not present ? Now, be careful for you will certainly hear of this on some future day if you are not careful.—l cannot say that I wits. Upon your oath, did you not attest the deed of assign ment of Walter to his brother of his interest in the po licy of niseranee for 13,0001. ?—I cannot say. I believe the signature " Jeremiah Smith" is very much like my handwriting. I repeat the question ?—I cannot say. 'Way, did you not receive a cheque for 5/. for attest inc.' it I —I think I did receive a cheque for 51 . attest ing you not see Wm. Palmer write this upon the counterfoil of his cheqtie-book [cheque-book banded to witness] ? —Witness, with hesitation—l cannot posi tively swear that I did. Did you not, sir, see him write it ?---That is William Palmer's handwriting [referring to the cheque-book]. Do you know that you got a five-pound cheque for attesting that signature ?—I may have got a cheque for 51., but I may not have got it for attesting the signature of the document,. You say you got 2001. for Ceok-100/. from Mrs. -Palmer and 100/. from William Palmer ?—Yes, and he gave 10/. for the accommodation. 're whom ?—re William Palmer. Do you know that the 2001. bill was given for the purpose of enabling William Palmer to make up is sum of 5001?-1 believe it was not, for Cook received abso lutely from me 2001. Did he not have the money from you in order to take up to London to pay Pratt ?—No ; he took it with him, I think, to Shrewsbury, to the races. Who was the bill drawn in favour of think Wil liam Palmer. What became of the bill ? —I do not know. Witness—l was not present at the inquest on Cook. I can't say who saw me when I went ta the Talhot Arms and went into Cook's mini. One of the servants gave me a candle—either Bond, Mills,' or Lavinia Barnes. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—l have known Mrs. Palmer 20 years. I knew her before her husband's death. 1 should say she is 60 ye: re of age. William Palmer is not her eldest son. Joseph is the elde-t. He resides at Liverpool. He is 45 or 46 years of age. I think George is the next son. He lives at Rugeley. Tie was frequently at his mother's house. There is another son, a clergyman of the Church of England. He 'resided with his mother until within the last two years, except when he was at college. There is a 1 1 daughter. She lives with her mother. There are three servants. Mrs. Palmer'a family does not vi3it much in the neighbourhood of Rugeley. Her house is a large one. I slept in a room nearest the Ud Church. Mr. Sergeant Shee—ls there any pretence for saying yon have ever been charged with any improper intimacy with Mrs. Palmer ?—Witness—l hope not. Mr. Sergeant Shee—ls there any pretence for saying so ?—Witness—There ought not. to be. Mr. Sergeant Shee—ls there any truth in the state ment or suggestion that you have had any improper in timacy with Mrs. Palmer ?—Witness—They might have so, but there is no reason. Mr. Sergeant Shee—ls there any truth in the state ment l—Witness—l should say not. Mr. Sergeant Shee—When dil it come to yourknove ledge that there was a proposal for Walter's life ?—Wit ness—l never heard of it until the inqpeet. The court then adjourned for about 20 minutes, when the proceedings were resumed. W. Joseph Saunders was then called upon his subpcena, but did not appear:' The Attorney-General said he should be extremely sorry to commence his reply if there was any chance of the witness making his appearance. Mr. Sergeant Shee said he should now ask for the production of a letter written by Cook to Palmer on Tam 4,1855. The letter, of which the following is a copy, was then put in and read : " Luther% orth, Jan. 4, 1855. "My dear Sir,—l sent up tod.ortdon on Tuesday to back St. Hebert for 501., and my commission has returned 10s. Id. I have therefore booked 250 to 25 against him, to gain money. There is a small len:lance of 18/. due to you, which I forgot to give you the other day. Tell Will to debit me with it on account of your share of training Pyr rhino. I will also write to him to do so, as there will be balance doe from him to me.—Yosrs faithfully, " W. Palmer, Esq." " J. PARSONS COOK. Mr. Sergeant Shee submitted that he was entitled to reply on a part of the evidence , . The course taken by the Attorney-General on getting at the contents of the cheque, the contents of an assignment of the policy on Walter Palmer's life, and the contents of the proposals to various offices,for the insurance, he submitted entitled him to a reply on those points. The Lord Chief Justice—We are of opinion that you have no right to reply. Mr. Baron Alderson—That is quite clear. The Attorney-General said be had been taken some what by surprise yesterday by the evidence of Dr. Rich ardson, with respect to angina. pectoris. Dr. Richardson adverted to several books and authorities. He had now those books in his possession, and was desirous of putting some questions arising out of that part of the e - fidence. The court decided against the application. The Attorney-General then rose to reply. He said the case for the defence and the prosecution was now before the jury, and it became his duty to reply on the whole of the case. He wished he could, in reply to an observa tion of the learned sergeant made the other day, say that he had convinced him of the innocence of the prisoner ; but he felt he could mot, and on the whole of the evidence asked for a conviction. The case prese nted two points. They were ; Did the deceased man [PRICE 4D. STAMPED ED* die a natural death, or, by a foul deed of.poison? I ,assert that he died by poison—that he was first practised on by antimony and then killed by strychnine. The witnesses for the prosecution said he died from tetanus and spasmo dic convulsions. Was there any doubt that that conclusion was correct? and, further, was there any doubt that that was caused by strychnine ? He had listened to all the opinions that had been propounded, and he asserted that the symptoms had been of the most marked character. The deceased exhibited all the symptoms of death froth sttychnipe, and in the depth of a mighty spasm he died. 'rho body, when dead, also exhibited signs that could not be doubted, and the evidence that bad been given to rebut the case,of the Crown was of the most in famous description. Our evidence to prove that death was cceavioned by strychnine was of the most reliable character, and the medical gentlemen who bad given that ' evileneestood in the highest rank in their professioe. It had been asserted tliat the deceased was suffering from a certain disease by which death was accelerated, but the evidence of Dr. Savage entirely -disposed of that assertion. It had also been said that he was suffering from ill-health and debility, but what did he say to his • father-in-law, who congratulated hira on the occasion of his meeting him going to the races ? Why, he struck hiat breast and said he was quite ; well. Tali assumption of the defence that there was traumatic tetanus was a mere pretence. Stipposinz th;3re was any thing in the assertion; the symptoms exhibited during the illness were such as totally differed from every known effect of the disease: It had' also been said that this might have been a case of iiiicipa'thic tetanus, that he had something the matter with his throat,and thus, they were launched into a sea of doubt and affinity. There wd.s not tha slightest evidenee in the whole case that the man had ever taken cold or was treated for a cold. Me could not but protest against the evidence that hat been given by some Of the medical witnesses for the defence. Snell evidence was a libel upon a,highly honour ,Able and dist t inguished profession, and he could not find e III• e. proceeding. The tetitnus that accompanied Con -'e death was neither traurnetic nor idiopathic, and he felt sure tiat upon theeevidenoe that •had been laid before the jury, they could not by any poesibility arrive at suc'n a cam:Melon. Tile learned gentleman then referred to the evaleited given by lir. Nunnely, and ' to the fact that Dr. Copefand'e book had been quoted,. but Ihe thought a far better course .to have adopted would have have been to have called Dr. Copeland himself. Surely `he would have been a batter authority than his book. Dr. Partridge had been ce.'ded to prove that death was caused by arachnitis e but when he was asked in simple terms 'whether, looking at Cook's symptoms, he would, before • the face of the whole medical profession, say that Cook's death was occasioned by exachnitie4 he declined to-say it was. Cook's death " had alsb, by an other medical witness, . been attributed to epilepsy, but there was not a single case to which 'he had spoken dr even read that bore the slightest analogy t i the symptoms in • Cook's case. Mr. Partridge, Mr. llehineon, and Dr. Letheby e three o: the most respectable of 'the witnesses ' called - for ' the defence, anreed with Sir ':Benjamin Brodie, and affirmed that !they could not account for the symptom's exhibited by Cook,' as they - differed froth- every known disease. They say there- is a difference in the periods bet Ween the.peroxysms setting in and the symptoms descibeel in Cook'S case. But then the difference between aiiinal and. huMan life should be considered ; and, again', the time e of the paroxysms ,would depend much.upoa the method Of the administration of the poison.) .If in &I indurated substance, it would be Jar *ger than ilother wise given: I gay from the evidence that the ppieon was given about an hour before the parokysens set in, and I find 'that in some 'of theexperiments al time almost equal to that lied elapsed before . the. syrne l ` set in. Might it nothave been that the substance of 'pills, which the deceased naturally had some dreg was snch as to prevent' the symptoms setting in. defence said there was no premonitory syn3ptom%. he denied. The asking to have the neck ruhl - 4 a premonitory symptom. These symptoms were ci poudent with the cases of Mrs. Smith and the Leed and also the description given of the gentleman wt 'taken an overdose. . The indication' of the - body w other fallacy, showing the character of . the cis Then we had the theory of the lleart'being empty,. must be borne in mind that it eouLl nut precis averred at what period the final spism attack{ heart. Death takes place from snch a variety of that there was nothing in the differences man The symptoms. were• all so strongly marke caqes of tetanus by strychnine could • mistaken, and I•think that there can •be no sloe death arose from strychnia. .The whole of the e i of the medical men agreed that they knew of no that mull - wroth:os elymptoint and death like -t ice in Cook's case ; and,: therefore, with the known act that there Was a poison which would product!, such 1 effectl, it was mast reasonable an d cog nt to reason that such was the cause of death. Upon tlee point of not finding the poison, which all the medical wltn esses for the defence agreed could he done, he could sinly say that Drs. Taylor and Rees had the stomach and contents for analysis in the very worst condition for expfiriment. .Efe could not ton strongly condemn the strong partisan ship shown by ])r. Herepath in the metter, sitting as he did by the side, of the prosecution, and nag , 2:esting the questions to be put to the witnesses f.ir . the presecation, he learnt that the poison was ah4orbed into the system, andnot knowing what were the a flaunts given, are we to say that, because Dr. Taylor, WO made the analysis under the most unfavourable circauistsmcd, had not found thepoison, that it had not been in that body. Yhe experiments of Drs. Rees and Taylor were cinducted in a way which they 'must be accountable fair to the fne4ical profession. He did not ask the jury tolcome to the conclusion that the prisoner adatinietered iieon to his friend • because the symptoms of deathi could not be attributable to no known cause ; 1 but he hail another point of the case to rely on, a9d which had not been touched upon by the defence, and that was that the learned advocate for the prisoner; had not even accounted, in the slightest degree, for 04 posses. sion of strychnine•by the prisoner on the evie of the dreadful deed. The witness Newton was op to eon sure for not speaking of the purchase of strychnine. It was perfectly true that it detracted from the other' portion of his evidence, hat he had voluntarily come for ward to peak of the circumstance, and hd thought that there could not be the slightest motive attributed to this man for having divulged the truth at the moment he did. Under all the circumstances he thought it would be impossible for them to arrive at any other conclu sion than that ' the prisoner was guilty of the great crime imputed to him. It was not Ircause a witness was mistaken as to the time that thal prisoner arrived at the chemist's shop that his ovilenoe was to be excluded.• It was nothing that he mid not precisely mention the time Palmer arrived at the shop, neither was it to be supposed that a person sitting in his masters' surgery would think of ascertaining he exact time at which a person would make a certain jpurchase. ,The evidence of Smith, for the defence, Was open to great objection, and be thought the jUry would attribute to it all the in:Terence it deserved, bat lie thought that witness had come forward to try to save the life of his companion, and had proved too mach. The purchase of three grains of strychnia was, of itself, suf ficient to excite the suspicion of any man, and it did attract the attention of Newton ; and why the prisoner should have gone on two successive nigh s to pur chase strychnia he could not say, but I at h he had did i go there could not be a doubt. e gone to his late partner, Thurlby, his first words would have been to ask what was it for. Why, the was not his purchase of even the six grains ascertained. It this poison was used for the purpose of destroying dogs, some persons must have assieted Palmer to !administer it. Where -were the grooms. Why have they not been called. But these important witnesses; if such there be, had not been called. There was nn absencs of all legitimate purposes for which that poison could have been bought. It had been;eaid there were points in the cafe that might be argued in favour of the prisoner— namely, that ho called in two medical' men. It was certainly true he did so. He called in ',Mr. Bam ford and iMr. Jones. If Palmer could hive got the body into the oak coffin in the presence of two medical men, he would have been safe ; and it was but through Mr. Stevens that it was frustrated. Palmer did not ex pect that Dr. Jones would sleep with Cook, and had he I not done so what would have bee n the r3sult Why, Cook would have died in the nigh*, and been found dead in his bed, and then the fact of Palmer hav ing called in medical aid would have stifled inquiry. Would the jury believe that the woman Brooks had not spoken the truth about the glass in Palmer'. hand after the Shreveibury races, and which was the cause of this poor fellow taking sick ? It is true that other's were taken id, which was strange, but let them go on to Rugeley, Cook was there, we ll ; then came the roth which Palmer had intercept ed, and himself put' into the cups in which .it was taken to him. Upon Monday Palmer was away. Cook was better. The tissues of Cook's body gave the presence of antimony, and who could have given it but the pri soner. They had heard of James's powders being taken, bus that was mere assertion. It was doubtless that anti mony was g iven for the purpose of sickening the prisoner to pave the way to further his purpose by bringing on an illness, and giving a colour and pretext for calling in the medical assistance. Palmer had done this to make Cook ill and prevent him going to receive the result of his winnings. Palmer did not .wish Dr. Bamford to see Cook upon the Tuesday morning, and spoke about Cook being bilious at Shrewsbury. The medical men said there was not any symptoms about Cook. Palmer never said a word about the attack . upon Cook upon the Monday night. The asking,Dr. Bamford to make up the pills, and directing the attention of Dr. 'Tones to the handwriting, was a strange _ , circumstance, and might have been done .. to , lull .suspicion, should any inquiry arise. Thera was nothing in Palmer offering to bury Cook ; but it waif strange that when Mr. Stevens had asked Palmer to recommend him an undertaker that Palmer had gone out and sent in an undertaker without having any previous orders to do so. It was said Palmer did not flinch from the post-mortem examination—but what did he do ? 'Why, we have the extraordinary conversation that took place on the day before Newton was sent for by the prisoner, and be is given brandy and water, and then Palmer asks him how much strychnine woul d kill a dog. It might be said that the strychnine was to kill dogs with ; but it would, be for the jury to. tom.; d e h f , V)og , e ; T LThis . a was orres case, io bad ELS an- Ifenc hut it iely be 1 the Icawes fated. that )t be ,t that idence lisease, Nel::1 - :(4r , they, under all , the circumstanoesi, • .e that part of the case. The assertion that Palmer was a man in a relined state that he had made in his opening observations bad been fully established by the evidence of the bills, to the amount of 19,0001., in the hands of Pratt, the whole of - which . bills are forgeries. The prisoner was told that he must be prepared to meet those bills, and the pri soner was teld by Pratt he could grant no further de lay. Palmer sends up 8001., and he is told he must do-a great deal more, and he is informed that writs will be issued by which allthose forgeries will be discovered. A short tine is granted. Polestar wins a race, and Cook over ejoyed at the result thiuks that he, will be enabled to hie happily through the winter. But he little thought of what' was about to 'occur. Phlestar winning that race was one of the most unfortunate events that ever oc- , curred to•him, for by that means he became• possessed • of a large sum of money. Pratt at this time' was pressing for his money, and the fear of the writs would therefore furnish the motive for Cook's death. But my learned friend has contended that the 'prisoner had no motive for taking away the life of his friend Cook. New, if I convince you upon unimpeachable evidence that the death of Cook had been caused by strychnine, and that that strychnine could only, have been administered by the prisoner, then the question of motive must become a mere secondary consideration. It is often difficult to dive into the breast o man, • and to ascertain with any certainty the reasons which directed him to any particular course of action ; „and the inscrutable character of any particular motive ought not to destroy the force of a well-authenti cated fact. Bat motive is unquestionably an important element in a cam ever which any doubt as to the facts can by any possibility rest. I believe I can perfectly satisfy your minds that in this case the prisoner had a motive, and a very obvious motive, for taking away the life of Cook. He was at the time reduced to a condition of the direst embarrassment. It appears that in the month of Novem ber last he owed On bills not less than 19,0001., of which 12,5C01. worth was in the hands of Pratt ; and out of that latter sum 5,5001: was pressing for immediate payment. By the death of Cook he was enabled to obtain possession of 1,0201., due to the latter in the shape of bets; he was enabled to obtain possession of the money which Cook must have hid about him on his arrival at Rueeley, and which, according to one of the witnesses, must have amounted to 700/..0r 800/. • and he attempte d to obtain possession of the 3501. whi ch the Messrs. Weatherby were to hate re- • caved as the amount of the stakes of the Shrewsbury El:oldie:sp. The order forwarded by Palmer to the Messrs. Weatherby for the 3501., and purporting to bear tho signa ture of Cook; had been sent hack by them to the prisoner ; and if that signature was not a forgery, why had it not been produced on the part of the defendant. [The Attor ney-General then entered into some farther statements to show the Crisis at which Palmer's affairs had arrived ; emeeeeterteepplications for payment from the monev-leriders for the sums they had advanced on the one hand, and on the other threats of action upon the different bills which they well knew were fonged, with the conviction at the same time that, if the forg eries became known, hen a only would IS3 disgraced, but be liable to the penalty of trans portation.] My learned frienl says that Cook was thebest friend of the prisoner, and tkat Cook was the only person to whom be could look for assistance, in his embarrassments. But Cook had: no means of assisting him, unless he were to appropriate to his use the money which he had won at Shrewsbury, which was'all the property he then possessed ; and can any one believe that the deceased would have part ed with that money, and would have left himself wholly with out any resources for the aproachiag winter ? My learned friend contends that the fact that Palmer had written the letter on the Friday night, in which he asked Fisher to pay 2001. to 'Pratt, on account of - a transaction in which both he and Palmer were interested, while 3001. more were to be sent up on that night—ney learned friend contends that that fact shows thet the prisoner and the deco ssed perfectly understood one another et that time, and goes far to prove the innocence of his client. To my mind, how ever, that very circumstance affords a very strong argu ment in favour of the case for the Crown. Tho only trans• action with Pratt, in which Palmer and' Cook were both interested, was that relating to the bill for 500/., and in which Cook had assigned his horse,as a collateral security. It is very easy to see that he must have felt particularly anxious that that claim should at onca - be settled. and that his horses shOuld come into his owh undisputed possession, one of these horses being a vary valuable one, namely, Polestar, which had jest won the Shrewsbury race. He -accordingly, I have no doubt, gave Palmer 3001.. to be sent up to London on account of that bid; but that sum war never applied by the prisoner to the purpose for which it had beets placed in his hands. There was not the slightest foundation for the statement that Cook had entered into an arrangement with Palmer for thepurposo of def,au i ing Fisher of the 200% he had advanced ; for theme was nothing in his character which could sh ,w that he was capable .of such an act, and it could not ,possibly have been his interest that it should take place. Then there 'is the cheque for 3541., which it was said was the genuine cheque of Cook. It is not for a moment suggrsted whet induced Cook to give it to him.. That matter might have bean solved by its production, but it has not been pro duced. Palmer seat for Cheshire to fill up the body of it, allegiug that Cook was too ill to do so ; but why did he not ask Mr. Jones, Cook's trusty friend, to fill' it rp ? Nothing was so easy. Then, I ask you, does not the trans action bear fraud upon the face of it? I think thatit dew. The prisoner either must have possession of the document, or he must have got rid of it in some way or another. We can only account for its non-production by supposing that ,zthere: was something in the transaction which will not bear the light. The prisoner then got possession of all the property of this poor young man ; but not satisfied witlathat he perpetrated another fraud, almost as soon as the breath was out of his body by fabricating au instru ment purporting to be signed by the deceased, to the effec that the'deceeseaWas indebted to him in a large amount, ani'lie induced Cheshire to attest its execution. He made this claim in respect of bills which he said he had nego tiated for Cook's benefit ; but if they were bona file bills, they must be in • existence, and ought to be pro duced. All these facts show irrefragibly, as I contend, that the death of Cook had, in the opinion of the prisoner, becoMe most desirable for his own relief. There is another part of his conduct as tondiug to throw light on this mat ter, and that is with reference to Cook'e betting-book. Oa the night when Cook lied--ere the breath had parted from that poor man's body—the prisoner was found there, rum maging his pockets, and searching for his papers. When enbeequently Stevens asked for the betting-hook, the pri soner said, "It is of no use, fora dead man's bets are void." True it is that a dead man's bets are quid, but not when they are paid during his life. Who received the bets? The prisoner at the bar. Who was answerable for thorn ? The prisoner at the bar. 'Who had an interest in concealing the amount of those debts ? The prisoner at the bar'. If Stevens had seen that book, he would have soea that Cook was en titled a Sitrn of 1,020/. ; :ma ho would have seen •that Fisher was his neetint, and from him - that Herring, and not Fisher, had calculated his bets. Bat there is still more yet to ho accounted for. When Stevens determined upon having a post mortem examination, what was the conduct of the prisoner at the her? [The learned Attorney-General then proceeded to refer to the arrival of Dr. Harland in the town of Rugeley for thopurpose of making the examination, his conversation with Palmer, when the latter said that Cook had died of epileptic ate, and that traces of old disease would be found in the head and heart, none of which were, however, found on the examination of the body ; the re moval of the jar containing the stomach and intestines of Cook, the slits cut in the covering, probably for the purpose of introducing something into the jar which would neutralise the poison if it were prevent, the restlessness and uneasiness of the prisoner while the examination was going on, his remonstrating with Dr. Bamford for letting the jarsbesente away, and his attempt to bribe the post-boy to upset the chaise and break the jar.] The conduct of Mr. Stevens, the stepfather of Cook, in resolving to prosecnte this inquiry. was such as the gravity and importance of the case proved ought to have protected bins from the charge of insolent curiosity brought against him by my learned friend. The hon. and learned gentleman thee concluded as follows :---It is for you to say, under these circumstances, whether or not the death of.the de,eoaso , l was caused by the prisoner at the ber. You have indeed had introduced into this case ono other element which I cannot help thinking might well have been omitted. You have heard from my learned friend an unuenel, I think I may even say an unprecedented, expres sion of his conviction of the innocency of his client. I can only say upon that point that I believe my learned friend might have abstained from any such statement. What would he think of see, if, imitating his example, I should at this moment declare to you, on my honour, as he did, what is the internal conviction which has followed from my conscientious consideration of this case ? My learned friend has, with a full display of his g roat ability, also :adopted another course, which, althoug h sometimes resorted' to by members of our profession, involves in my mind a species of insult to the good sense and the good feeling of the jury ; ha hes endeavoured to intimidate you by the fear of your own consciences, and by the fear of the country condemning you for your discharging firmly and honestly the great and solemn duty which you have to per form on this occasion. My learned friend told you that if your verdict in this case should be guilty, the innocence of the prisoner would one day or other bo made manifest, and you would never cease to regret the verdict you hail given. If my learned friend was sincere in that—and I know that he was, for there is no man who is more alive than he is to the claims of truth and honour—but if he said what he be lieved, all I can state in answer is, that I can only attribute the conviction he has expressed to that strong bias which his mind easily, perhaps, loceived in directing all his ener gies to the defence of a man charged with this frightful crime. But I still think he would have done well to have abstained from any assurance of the innocence of the pri ma say that I think shoenoeirtgaht bar justice,tsu t and I g i o n fudlser, considerationi n to you, have ab stained from telling you that the voice of the. country would not sanction the verdict which you might give. I say nothing of the inconsistency which is involved in such a statement coming from one who, but a short time before, had complained in eloquent terms of the universal torrent of passion and of prejudice by which, he said, his client was. borne down. In answer to my learned friend I have only this to say to you. Pay no regard to the voice of the country, whether it be for condemnation or for acquittal ; pay no regard to anything but to the internal voice of your own conscience; trust to the sense of that duty to God and man which you aro about to discharge upon this occasion, seeking no reward excepting the comforting assurance that when you shall look back at the events of this trial, you have discharged, to the best of your abilit and to the utmost Of your power, the duty you have been ca l l ed upon to fulfil. If, on a review of the whole case, comparing the evidence on one side and on the other, and weighing it in the even scales of justice, you can come to the conclusion of the innocence, or even entertain that fair and reasonable d oubt of guilt, of which the accused is entitled to the benefit, in God's name • eto him that benefit. But if, ou the other hand, all give . the facts and all the evidence lead your minds with than-- factionstis to yourselves to the conclusion of Ms guilt, at r hands. but then only—l ask for a verdict of guilty For the protection of the good, for the repression of the wicked, I then ask for that verdict by which alone, as it seems to me, the - safety of society can be secured, and the demands—the imperious demands —of public justice can lee satisfied.
