THE ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM ASSOCIATION. ( From the Times of this day.) Why is the sleep of the Administrative Reform Association disquieted ? What has called them up from the land of dreams and forgetfulness ? We had set them down as holding a very respectable position among the things that were, and, behold, they jump into life, and make the reader start. We cannot find any fault with this movement, ex- , cept that it has not commanded the popular sup- I port to which it not unreasonably claims to be en- I titled. It is unquestionably the right, and even the duty, of the citizens of England to look after the public money, and to take care the public offices are filled by men of character and ability. It has only one drawback. Nothing, as Talleyrand says, succeeds like success, and the Administrative Re form Association has not obtained success. It claims to act on behalf of the people of England ; but the people of England, as far as we can see, are not disposed to accept its agency. " If," says Mr. Corderoy, the chief speaker, " we can attain by a concentration of energy social, moral, economical, educational, and sanitary reforms, we shall arrive at our end." Nothing can be more true • but did. it never occur to Mr. Corderoy how little proba bility there was that such a concentration of energy can effect such an object ? " If," says the fly, " by concentrating my energies I can break through this web in which I am meshed, I shall escape being devoured by yonder bloated and greedy spider." Nothing can be more just than the observation of the fly, but the spider will devour it nevertheless. The Administrative Re form Association says it was not erected to support a ny martyr. It will do wisely to consider whether it does not run some chance of becoming the martyr itself. Its efforts are directed to the , sweeping away of impediments to free and open competition. No doubt it sweeps as well as it can, but the im pediments remain, while the broom is worn out. These are facts, from whatever cause they arise, and the Administrative Reform Association will do wisely not to overlook them. Grievances may be very great and very pernicious, and yet may require something more than goodwill for their extirpation. Sir C. Napier and Mr. Apsley Pel latt are, no doubt, potent champions, but more than they can do will be required to remedy the least of the abuses of which Messrs. Corderoy and Morley complain. We would not be ungrateful to the Administrative Reform Association. Launched by practical men of business, and having an honest and good cause to support, it, no doubt, did good service at its first meeting by embodying to some extent popular feeling, and bringing forcibly before the attention of Government the danger of again rousing public indignation by mis management. How much more it might have done had its administration of its own affairs par taken a little of that adminiArative excellence which it so forcibly inculcates upon others we do not know ; certain it is that its failure is to be at tributed to causes most of which were very obvi ously within its own control. The Association started without securing for itself that amount of politi cal weight and influence which every person versed at all in the habits and feelings of the English people ought to have known to b e an indispensable condition to the success of such a movement. It is easy to rail against members of Parliament, and say that they are so wedded to faction and interest that it is impossible to enlist them in favour or the pure and elevated objects which this Association had in view ; but these men are, after all, the chosen representativesof the very classes to which the Association appeals, extremely sensitive to any influence exerted over them by their constituents, and ready on every occasion to carry out what they understand to be the real demands of public opinion. The fact, then, that influential members of Parliament held aloof from it might have warned the Association that the success it sought, and in a great measure deserved, was not desired by the people. The people, as Mr. Morley truly says, are themselves to blame, but it is impossible to save them against. their will. How many intelligent gentlealen there are besides the leaders of the Administrative Reform Association ready to save or serve the monarchy in Church and State, and whose efforts are only defeated by the unaccountable unwilling ness of the monarchy to be served or saved by them ! Next to the want of influential support, the Association seems to us to have erred most in the selection of its objects. Its orators complain with justice when they say that those objects were too pure and too unselfish for general acceptance. But • what is this, except to say that this proposed po pular movement was founded on a misapprehension of the popular sentiment, and, while intending to treat men as they are imputed to them a sublimity of character which it is now admitted they do not possess ? Such errors are fatal in all agitations. The cause must not only be noble and true, but coincide with popular prejudices and antipathies. If it do it may form an admirable subject for dis quisition in political circles, or for controversy in reviews and pamphlets, but is unfit for the trade of the agitator. Falsehood succeede lin the hands of O'Connell—truth has broken down in those of the Administrative Reform Association. The reason is obvious. Falsehood was supported by eloquence and popular sympathy—Truth was left to rely on her own merits. Another less creditable cause of failure, for it neither arose from the nature of the subject nor from the absence of support, is the signal want of literary ability displayed in the pamphlets circulated in behalf of administrative reform. Whether it were that jobbing found its way into the bosom of this immaculate society, awl influenced the choice of writers, who certainly do not seem to have been chosen on principles of public competition, we do not know ; but certainly nothing was ever put forth less argumentative or persuasive than these pamphlets, in which the in terest of the best of themes was so cruelly sacrificed to the worst of writers. If the public mind of England was to be aroused to the necessity of re form, it should have been by means of brains rather than of scissors. Nevertheless, let not the Administrative Reform Association despond. They, also, have contributed something towards the march of events. They have given Ministers a short, but very severe fright. They have made Mr. Tite member for the city of Bath. Is there nothing in all this to satisfy a vir tuous ambition ? They have, besides, assisted in the creation of a Board for the examination of candidates for the civil service, which is destined, if we mistake not, in no slight degree to usurp their functions, When they read the forthcoming report as to the incompetency of the persons examiued, and the strange difficulties in which Government has been placed by exacting even the minimum. of qualification from its servants, the association will see that the work has been done by this commis sion nearly as well as the association could have done it itself. For the association but one duty is lett—a duty most difficult both to actors and philo sophers. It has outlived the power of influencing public opinion, and can only come forward now to whine over the influence which it hoped for, but does not possess. From such a body complaints are unavailing; all that is left to it is to die with dignity. A NEW STEAM HAMMER.—Mr. Naylor, the Norwich superintendent of the locomotive department of the Baden Counties Railway, has just succeeded in com- - plating an important invention in the form of a steam hammer, which he believes to be in many respects supe rior to any other that has yet been constructed. Its peculiar qualities consist in its adaptation to all descrip tions of work brought under it. It can deal with a small piece of iron with the greatest precision, be it ever so small, or it can efficiently operate upon a piece of iron six or seven inches thick. Such is the command over it that it can be made to strike a light or heavy blow at will, and, if necessary, the light and heavy blows can be ,given alternately, while it is dealing 100 blows a minute. The rate of working may, moreover, if desired, be re duced to less than 100 blows per minute. - Most power hammers obtain their force by their accelerated velocity in their fall. Consequently, when working upon a large piece of iron, the greatest force i s necessary ; but, as th e distance of the fall of the hammer is reduced by the thickness of the iron it is operating upon, the full power of the hammer cannot be exercised. Mr. Naylor has, however, a provision for this difficulty, for by hie pecu liar and patented arrangements he c3n put . any amount of steam power upon the hammer in addition to it., () wry gravity, and it matters not, therefore, whether the barmier falls through a space of six inches or six feet, so long as its velocity is the same at the instant of . its contact witsr the iron on the anvil. The steam can be applied above as well as under the piston of the ham suer, or by merely turninga small handle the steam is prevented entering into the top of the cylinder, leaving the hammer to fall (as others do) by its gravity alone, be made whil e th e h amlet( e Thefect that this , change may is at work shows the great advantage of Mr. Naylor'4 ' arrangement over that of others, sad is more striking even to.thse who do cot profess an intimate acquaint *nes with steam hammers. By haring& short blow a 3 effective ax a, long one a greater nnkiber of blows can be given.in the same' time, and all practical men know the advantage of striking the iron r while it is hot.

TO show iteeitraordinary powers one iustmee will suffice. We were shown a bar of iron six feet long, three inches wide, and three-quarters of an inch thick, which had been drawn at one heat in eight and a-half minutes out of an old block of machinery not snore than 12 inches long, thus producing out of the old ,scrap, iron a bar of new iron of the very best quality. The principle of this hammer has been patented by Mr. Naylor; who considers it equally applicable as a ri vetting machine' for holler-Making and iron shipbuilding, as well as for iron making, smith 'a fo rg i ng, stamping ore, and, I indeed, foe all purposes requirin g th e process of ham.' ! met ing ; and, to.

The Weasel, Skylark, Starling, Dapper, Hind, and Jackdaw gun-boats were taken out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, being refitted for the Baltic. The Prompt, Blazer, Havoc, and Porpoise mortar vessels were taken out of the sea basin at Portsmouth yesterday, having also been refitted for the Baltic. The Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, and Gorgon 6, paddle sloop, were taken yesterday into the fitting basin at Portsmouth. The Dragon, 6, paddle-sloop, Capt. Stewart, was taken into the steam-basin at Portsmoutb. The Geyser, 6, paddle•sloop, Commander Dew, was undocked yesterday at Portsmouth. The screw steam-ship Brunswick, 80, Captain H. It. Yelverton will be taken out of the basin-dock at Devon port today and placed alongside the sheer hulk to re ceive her masts. The steam-transport Diligence was towed out of Ha. moaze on Thursday by the Confiance steam-tender, and sailed the same day with stores for Pembroke. The block-ships Forth and Seahorse, at Plymouth, are to be got ready for roasting with all despatch. The Albion, 90, has been warped to the sheer-hulk at Devonport, and, having had her masts taken out, was placed at the moorings in ordinary. She is to be fitted as a temporary hulk for the crew of the Brunswick. Fifteen apprentices to shipwrights, four to engineers, and four to caulkers are ordered to be entered in the Devonpprt Dockyard. The steam-transport City of Paris, Commander Roy, from London for Balaklava, put into Plymouth Sound on Thursday evening with two feet water in her engine. room. The hired bark Kinnear, Captain Metcalf, from London, to load provisions at the Royal William Victualling-yard for Balaklava, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday. The steam-ship Belgique, Capt. Tack, with mails for New York, sailed from Plymouth yesterday morning. The screw-transport Edina has arrived at Woolwich with a cargo of military stores from Deptford, for Ba laklava. She has embarked her powder and a few other requisites, and is ready to proceed to Greenhithe to be adjusted for her voyage. The following appointments were made yesterday : Lieut. E. M. Leycester, to the Centurion ; Lieut. A. T. Bullock, to the Centurion ; Lieut. D. B. Pack, to the Centurion; Lieut. J. S. Tomkin, to the Sappho ; Robt. Knox, master, to the Centurion ; W. C.

The Spanish Government, with a view of introducing the English system of keeping accounts in their naval departments, have despatched Brigadier Juan de Dios Eames Yzquierdo, belonging to the naval establishment of that country, to visit England, for the purpose of ob taining a knowledge of the method of keeping accounts used in her Majesty's dockyards. This gentleman has visited Woolwich with the intention of being initiated into the mode pursued in that establishment in keeping the timber and stone ledgers. An experimental trial of the power of galvanism has been made in the proof department of the Arsenal, Woolwich, for the purpose of endeavouring to obtain a surer mode of discharging in regular succession the vari ous guns under proof. The method, however, has been pronounced too complicated to admit of its being brought into general use for the present. A number of 24-pound brass howitzers have gone through the usual proofs at the Arsenal butt, which are intended for the use of the numerous gun-boats fitting out there. The aggregate number ordered from the various Government contrac tors, to be conveyed to Woolwich dockyard alone, to be completed for service before the ensuing spring, is 200, independently of a number of despatch-boats. All the companies of the Royal Marines Light In fantry, Chatham, which have been open to receive re cruits from the Militirs, have their full complement. About 300 men of the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, volunteered on Thursday and Friday for regiments in the Crimea. _At a medical beard held yesterday at Brompton 102 men were passed as unfit for further active service. The Rev. Win. Hare, chaplain to the forces, is about to quit Malta for Dublin, having received a similar ap pointment in that city to the one he held at the former place. The Rev. Mr. Lawless succeeds Mr. Hare at Malta. The Very Rev. the Dean of Down and Connor has] been appointed chaplain to the Royal Antrim Artillery Regiment. From the London Gazette of Last Night.

Mr. Deane contended that the question was one which was perfectly regular, according to the law of coroners' in quests. To Mr. Smith's last objection he replied that if the tendency of his question was that which Mr. Smith hinted, surely he (Mr. Smith) was not the person to com plain. Mr. Smith—lt is irregular, that is all. I appeal to the coroner to decide this question. The Coroner—lf you ask me whether it is evidence, I say it is not; but if the jury wish the question to be answered I should be sorry to prevent them from having the infor mation. and was half filled with water. He put the mixture into the water, and when bestirred it with a spoon it effervesced. The mixture looked like the ordinary effervesciogdraughts; and she frequently said that the preparation was more re freshing, and did her more good than anything else. She would take those draughts two or three times in tho coarse of the day. She was sick in a few minutes after taking food. She had a little port wine and water. I don't know that she had an injection. Mr. Bamford did not give me instructions to give one. I was in the room when she died. She appeared to go quite low and composed, and for some time before she begged I would not trouble her to give her anything. I did not notice anything particular in her breathing. She appeared quite sensible to the last. She was never otherwise night or day during the time that I was with her. She had no convulsions or spasms. It was two or three hours before her death that she told me not to trouble her. The last thing she took before her death was the juice of some grapes. I asked her to take some grapes. She said that she could not suck them, when I replied, " I can squ eeze th em i n t o a spoon. " I did so, and put it into her mouth, when she looked at me in a very pleasing manner, and said, " Oh, that was very nice." This was before the purging which preceded her death. No one else besides Mr. Palmer and myself gave her anything dur ing the time that I was there. He did not give her any thing the day that she died. He was with her very fre quently—coining into the room very often. Mr. and Mrs. George Palmer came to see her in her illness. I don't re colleot whether Mr. Thirlby called to see her. The deceased's vomit appeared a good deal like that of people who aro troubled with bile. It was like discoloured water of a rather yellow hue. It was thin, but not quite so thick as gruel. It was not frothy. Sho said nothing' about the time she died excep t th a t s h e h ope d I would not allow any strange people to come about her to do anything for her, but do everything myself. Mr. Palmer came up when I rang the bell after Mrs. Palmer had died. He did not quite come round the bed. I said to him, "I fear Mrs. Palmer is dying." He appeared very much hurt, and went out into the next room and returned again directly. 1 think that then she was gone. After she was dead I stayed with her 20 minutes. I went into the next room to Mr. Palmer. He appeared quite unconscious of what had taken place. I asked him to take a little brandy. Upon this he looked at me, and said he thought he had been asleep, rubbed his hands, and he appeared a little better. I gave him the brandy before rubbing his hands. I go t th e b ra ndy fr o m Eliza, the servant girl, who brought it from down stairs. I remained a few minutes with him after he had taken the brandy, and he appeared a little better. He said, " Mrs. Bradshaw, you must have Mrs. Rowley to assist you." Mrs. Rowley came up stairs immediately afterwards, as she was in the house at the time. Mrs. Rowley and I laid out the body. There was nothing peculiar in the appearance of the body. The limbs were not stiff till she was cold. By Mr. Smith—Mr. Palmer was with her several times shortly before she died. Ou the day before she died she took the Sacrament in my presence. Tho ordinance was ad ministered by the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, the vicar of Rugeley. I can't say positively whether she said to Mr. Atkinson, " Pray for my dear husband and my dear little boy," but she did say, " Pray for my dear little boy." Mr. Palmer appeared affectionate to his wife, and he appeared to 'be anxious to do everything for her comfort that lay in his power. When Mr. Palmer knew that his wife was dead ho went very pale and seemed very much put about, and he shed tears. Mrs. Palmer was very much of a retiring dis position, and when I urged her to see Mrs. George Palmer and others, she refused, and said that she could not see any one, not even her own relations. She begged that I would not suffer any one to come. I told Mrs. Wells that on the night that she came. The deceased was dozing at the time. The pills that she took were to compose and comfort her. When the Rev. Mr. Atkinson was with her ho said that lie feared that she was not able to bear his reading to her, but he hoped she would send for him again. She then asked him to pray for her "dear little boy," and when be was gone she appeared very much affected, and said she hoped he would always live up to that. I am not certain whether she mentioned her husband. I tasted the wine and water, for I was afraid of giving it her too strong. I believe that I tasted everything but the effervescing draughts. While I was down stairs the accused might have given something to the deceased, but I do not know that he did. Mr. Clarke, a juryman, here asked the witness whether she tasted the pills? Witness—No. RTYGELEY, JAN. 11. The inquests upon the bodies respectively of Walter and Anne Palmer, the deceased brother and wife of Wil liam Palmer, late surgeon of this town, who has been com mitted upon the coroner's warrant, charged with the wilful murder of William Parsons Cook, were resumed this morn ing in the Town•hall, here, before Mr. W. W. Ward, coroner, and a jury of 22 gentlemen, of whom Mr. W. Fowke was the foreman. Mr. John Smith, of Birmingham, solicitor, was present to watch the case on behalf of William Palmer, who is suspected of having poisoned the deceased. A large num ber of assurance companies were also represented by Mr. Deane, solicitor, of London ; and, as before, Mr. Gardi ner, solicitor, of Stafford, conducted the case for the Crown. Mr. Smith—l object to it as illegal ; and I appeal to the jury to decide whether it is legal or not. The Coroner appealed to the jury whether they wished to hoar the answer ? The jury decided in the affirmative. Mr. Smith then called upon the coroner to exercise the authority which, as jadge, be possessed in that court, and not permit statements to be made which were not evidence. The Coroner refused to prevent the answer being ob tained on account of the desire of the jury to hear it ; but the witness, he said, was not obliged to answer it. Mr. Smith (to the witness)—You are not ebliged to answer the question. Mr. Deane then pressed the witness for an auswer. Witness—l don't doubt but he would have taken liber ties if I had given him consent. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith—l never heard Mrs. Pal mer say that she thought she was suffering from English cholera. She said that she thought she had taken cold from putting on thin clothes. Mr. Palmer appeared kind to his wife and to all about him. I heard of a Mr. Thurlby, a surgeon, having been called in, as well as the other sur geon already named, but Ido no know that he was. Ido not know, excepting from hearsay, that the lady who called to see the deceased from Abbots Bromley was a friend of the deceased. When thejury had assembled the Coroner said that the inquest was adjourned because Dr. Taylor had not com pleted his analyses. That witness had not yet arrived, and in his absence he proposed to take the evidence which was reayd as to the post mortem examination. Mr. Smith objected to any medical testimony being taken in the absence of Dr. Taylor. The Coroner said that the evidence might be read o ver to Dr. Taylor when he arrived. Mr. Smith said that his reasons for making the objec tion were that many questions might arise in the mind of Dr. Taylor while the evidence was being given, which might not occur to him if the depositions were simply read over to him. It was important that Dr. Taylor should hear the testimony of the medical witnesses, because, upon their statement as to the appearance of the body at the time of the post mortem examination might arise a series of questions as to appearances then observed, tending to confirm or refuto any opinion which Dr. Taylor might en tertain as to death having been occasioned by poisoning or by natural causes. Mr. Deane pressed the same objection, and the coroner yielded. Ann Rowley was then called and examined by Mr. Deane—She deposed that she was a charwoman, and was for a long time frequently employed by Wm. Palmer. During Mrs. Palmer's illness he frequently took broth and other refreshment to her oat of the kitchen. Witness added—l attended her during her illness and assisted to lay her out. There were no particular appearance about the body. Mrs. Bradshaw was the only nurse in the house at the time of Mrs. Palmer's death, and Eliza Thermo was the general servant. Mr. Thos. Hall was the undertaker at Mrs. Palmer's funeral, but he was not present when the body was screwed down. I saw the body again this morn ing, and it was the same that I saw when the coffin was first opened after it was exhumed. It was the body of Mrs. Anne Palmer. Sarah Palmer, the sister-in-law of the deceased, said she remembered having accompanied the deceased to Liver pool. While there she was tolerably well, but on the Tuesday they were is Liverpool they went into the town and came home tired, and Mrs. Palmer sat fatigued upon the sefa. When she arrived back at Rugeley (the witness continued) she sat by the fire, took some tea, and com plained of being very cold. My brother advised her to take some medicine and pat her feet in warm water, but she declined to do so. I did not go home with her from the railway station, but left her on her way up. She told me what I have stated when 1 called on the following Sa turday, on which day I was with her from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until Bin the evening. I should say, however, that on the Tuesday evening we went to the concert at St. George's-hall, in Liverpool, when she was dressed in a thin white dress. On the Saturday she complained of a cola in her chest, and said that she felt sore. Whets I left her on Saturday evening I said I would call again on the morrow, but she said that I need not hurry, my mother Using ill. I saw her again on Sunday evening, and again on the nett Tuesday, and that was the last time that I saw her. When we went to Liverpool wo intended to stay until Thursday, but came home on Wednesday, because the deceased felt unwell. I don't say, however, that she was ill. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith—During the whole time of Mrs. Palmer's illness and all the time that I knew him since he was married, he appeared to live comfortably with his wife. They lived very comfortably together. He was kind to all about him. Mr. H. S. Bergen, superintendent of police, was next sworn. He said—l live at Lichfield. I was present at the post mortem examination which was made upon the body of Mrs. Palmer, first, by Dr. Moncton, and then by Mr. Hugh Warren, the latter on the 21st ult. By Mr. I , eaue—l walked up only part of the way with the deceased from the railway station at Rugeley. My brother George accompanied Mrs. William Palmer from my mother's house (which is half way between the rail way station and her house), my sister having stayed at my mother's to rest herself. Mr. Smith—l should like it to be known that the ac cused was a duly qualified surgeon. I know this of a cer tainty, but the contrary has been stated. By Mr. Smith —My brother used to attend as well as proscribe for us all when we were ill. His practice was almost confined to his own family. Mr. Smith then put questions to the witness with a view to ascertain whether she knew that her brother (the accused) was a member of the College of Surgeons as well as an associate of Apothecaries'-hall. Mr. Deane—There have been found among his papers evidence which proves that he was a duly qualified surgeon. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith—l do not know that In spector Field was down in this neighbourhood after Walter Palmer's death. I don't know such a person as Inspector Field. It has been erroneously stated that he is now in this neighbourhood. I have been in communication with no assurance companies or their agents, except with one gen. tleman who is now present. At this period of the examination, about 10 o'clock, Dr. Taylor entered the hall. He was accompanied by ono or two other gentlemen, including a secretary for an assur ance company who had been summoned as a witness. Eliza Tharme, the servant before referred to, next came up. On being sworn she said—l live at Cofield. I entered the service of the accused on New Year's-day in the year 1854. I was general servant, and I lived with him two years. I remember Mrs, Palmer being taken ill. It was at 5 o'clock on a Wednesday evening, the 20th of September, 1854. She was taken with sickness the next morning. She came home from Liverpool on the Wednesday evening, having left home on the previous Monday. When she came home she complained of illness, and said that she thought she had taken cold. She went to bed at about half-past 9 o'clock. She did not take any refreshment before she went to bed, except some tea at half-past 5, which tea 'prepared. She drank two cups of tea, and ate some cold meat. On the following morning I saw her between 8 and 9 o'clock, and she complained of being ill, but she did not know what was the matter with her. She was in bad. Shortly after wards Mr. Palmer took her up a cup of tea, without milk, but with sugar, and a little dry toast. I went up after waras to ask if she would have some more tea. She said she would not. She had drunk the tea and had eaten a little of the toast, but she would not have any more. Be tween 10 and 12 o'clock I went up stairs again, and asked how she was ? She said she was no better, and complai sed of being sick. I saw that she had - vomited ; but she had not been purged. By a Juryman—Did any one take tea with her on the previous night ? Witness —No one. Did you prepare the tea at night and in the morning? Witness—l know that my mother has had his diploma in her possession for some time. The Coroner—l have seen documents which give the date of his licence. The document is dated the 10th of August, 1816. Cross - examination by Mr. Smith resumed—l know that the deceased had a life interest in some property. I don't know that it was of the yearly value of 2001., but it ceased with her life. I should add that Mrs. Palmer was always in delicate health, and in the summer of the year of her death she was particularly so, and had gone to several wat-ring pla ces , with a view to establish her health, When at Buxton together in August, 1851, I perceived that her tongue was exceedingly white, and I said to her, " Oh, Annie ! whatever is the matter ?" She replied she attributed it to a want of medicine, as during the time that she was with Mr. Dawson at Abbots Bromley she uvd to take a great deal of medicine. When we left home for Liverpool it was arranged with Mr. Palmer that we should return on the Thursday, and I don't know if we wrote to my brother to say that we were coming on Wed nesday. His little boy was at the station to meet us, not because he knew when we were coming, but because, ac he was out walking almost every day, he might as well be at the railway station as elsewhere. We were upon the rail way on our journey home from Liverpool from about half past 12 to half-past 5 o'clock. We took lunch before we left Liverpool and partook of cold roast beef. Mr. George Palmer sworn—l am a solicitor, residing at Rugeley. The deceased was the wife of my brother. I saw her on the day that she returned from Liverpool. She was then in my mother's breakfast-room, and she seemed unwell. She remained there about 10 minutes. I walked with her as far as the Talbot Inn. I never saw her after wards. By Mr. Smith—During her five confinements I attended her. The accused appeared very attentive to his wife, but did not take her anything, because I was there to do it. He was always particular in seeing that the jellies and broth were made pleasing to his wife's palate, and was afraid that I should give her strengthening food too early. She did not like sugar or butter. She took a little sugar in her tea, but I never saw her take any butter during her illness. She did not like butter or salt. Mr. Smith—My object in wishing this to be put clown is to show that if the deceased's taste was accustomed to everything so plain she would have instantly discovered anything that was foreign to it. Mr. Bamford, the surgeon referred to, said that when he was called in to the deceased he found her in bed, labouring under nausea, and so much debility, that she had great dif ficulty in giving him an answer. She did not appear to have vomited then. Her bowels were in a very constipated state, and did not appear to have been moved for 12 or 14 hours. I prepared her (he said) two pills, to be taken im mediately, and in four hours after an opening draught. This was on the Sunday. I called again the next day, and desired that Dr. Knight should be called in. I declined to prepare any more medicine till Dr. Knight should have met me. Dr. Knight came and saw her in the afternoon of Monday, and he prescribed too small pills. Mr. Palmer and the nurse were present with Dr. Knight. The bowels were in so constipated a state that it was necessary to give a medicine that would act upon the bowels; but he did not write a prescription. Finding her with a feeling of su Touch nausea, Dr. Knight thought that she would retain a pill better than anything else. I prepared six or eight pills, but she took only one. They were made of grains of the compound extract of colocynth, a grain of calomel, and a little oil of carraway. After I had prepared the pills I took them down to Mr. Palmer, and they were sent up stairs. I then suggested to Mr. Palmer, the accused, that she should have an injection. The pills were to be taken every three or four hours till the bowels were acted upon, bat she took but one; for at this time she was rapidly'sinking. I maw her again on the next day (Tuesday), when she refused to take any sustenance. This was the last time that I saw her alive. Thu mixture was composed of 1 drachrn of tartarate of potash, 8 grains of rhubarb, 1, ounces of mint water, and 8 dr, ps of sal volatile. The mixture I have in my hand is the same colour and precisely the same kind of mixture as that which I made for Mrs. Palmer. I will swear so, because I mix all the medicines that go out of my shop, and have done so for the last 20 years. I used the tartarate of potash first, then the rhubarb, in mixing up the ingrelients. The tartarate of potash was a long time in dissolving. I could not by any accident have taken tartar emetic for tartaric of potash. I have both in my shop, but the bottles containing them are kept upon different shelves, and I never made such a mistake as that you suggest. The draught was to be taken four hours after the pills ; and I am told that she threw it up imme diately afterwards. The symptoms of the deceased were those of a person sinking in an advanced state of cholera, and in my certificate as to the cause of death I made an entry to that effect. On the second day after I saw her she was in so exhausted a state that she could scarcely articulate. When I said that Dr. Knight should be called in, Mr. Palmer readily consented to it, and sent for him instantly. Dr. Knight came. I did not see that Dr. Knight wrote any prescription. Palmer paid every atten tion to his wife during the time that I was there; no man could have been more attentive. Ho supported her in bed while giving her something that appeared to be bar ley-water, or something of that kind. I don't moan Asiatic cholera, but a bilious cholera, of which latter, in my opinion, from the symptoms described to me, and in the state in which 1 found her, she died. lam still of opinion that she died of bilious cholera. Constipation frequently follows powerful purging suddenly stepped. The witness declined to give any opinion as to the general character of Palmer. This witness is 82 years of age. Edward Knight, physician, of Stafford, deposed—l knew the deceased, Ann Palmer. I was called in to see her pro fessionally on the 25th of September, 1851. I saw her after receiving a description of her disease from her husband. She was so much exhausted that, when I asked her, she could not, to my understanding, describe her illness. Palmer said that she had had distressed vomiting, griping, and purging, and that she had caught the cholera at Liverpool, where it was then the prevailing disease. She did not vomit in my presence, but the retching was distressing. I required to see the evacuated matter. I was told it had ' been thrown away. As far as I could form a judgment upon the case, I thought it a severe form of English cholera —summer cholera. I retired with Mr. Palmer to a room below stairs, and recommended that she should take two minims of diluted prussic acid for the purpose of allaying the retelling. He told me it should be administered im mediately. I called again and she appeared better. When I left for Stafford Palmer promised me that if she got worse he would send for me again. I knew the deceased from a child, and was one of her guardians. In 1851 1 at tended Mrs. Palmer on account of a proposal that had been made to an assurance office. I found her free from disease. From the testimony which was given me by the nurse of the deceased, I should say that her death was not occa sioned by a poison which has been named. The symptoms appeared like those of English cholera. The inquest was then adjourned. Witness:—Yes. Examination i❑ chief resumed—l did not notice any thing particular in the vomit. It was white, and was transparent, like water. I threw it away. No one told me to do so ; I did it of my own accord. After I had done so I returned into Mrs. Palmer's bed-room, but she said nothing to me. No one eke attended her during Wednes day but Mr. Palmer and myself. Mrs. Bradshaw came on the following Monday. A juryman —Did Mr. Palmer see the vomit ? itness —Yes. Did he make any remarks ? Witness —No. Cross-examination in chief resumed.—She continued sick at times during Wednesday, and, I believe, about the same on Thursday. I prepared the tea and broth and gruel, and such like things that were taken up to Mrs. Palmer. On Friday the deceased continued in the same state, so far as I know—that is, ill and vomiting. I did not attend her much in the latter part of her illness. The nurse came on the Mon day preceding her death, and the Monday after she returned from Liverpool, and attended upon her from that time; and after the nurse came I scarcely went into Mrs. Palmer's room. She was purged after she came from Liverpool, but I cannot say on what day it was. It was a day or two after wards. She never complained to me of any particular pain. During the time that I lived in her service I never—except when she was confined—knew her to be ill. Mrs. Bradshaw, the nurse, then waited upon her. Mr. Palmer also waited upon the deceased, and I have known him occasionally take her refreshment during her confinements. During Mrs. Palmer's last illness Dr. Balfour was called in to see her. That was on the Sunday before she died. When she died I was in the Louse, but not in her room. She had no fits. By Mr. Deane—There was no other servant in the house but myself ; but I was occasionally assisted by Mrs. Row ley (a previous witness). Miss Sarah Palmer accompanied her. When she left home, I understood from her that she should return on the following Wednesday. Mr. Palmer was not at home when deceased left for Liverpool. By the Coroner--He returned on Monday evening while I was away. Ho went out at six o'clock on the morning that Mrs. Palmer went. I don't know whether the jour ney was a pre-arranged one, or whether it was suddenly conceived. Mrs. Palmer left home about one or half-past one o'clock on Monday. By Mr. Deane—Deceased returned home on the Wed nesday, on the day that she was expected. Her little boy, aged seven years on the 11th of last October, went to the station to meet her. By Jslr. Smith—During my brother's sale I heard that some papers were found at his house. Mr. Smith—How were they disposed of ? Witness—They were disposed of by Mr. Hawkins, a jury man. Mr. Smith—What! a juryman interfering? Say that again. - Witness—They were taken possession of by Mr. Hawkins, a juryman, who got possession of the papers and handed them to Police-Inspector Crisp and Mr. Gardiner, the solicitor to the prosecution. . Smith—l wish that taken down. The Coroner —I cannot take it down on my notes. Mr. llawkins—l never had the papers. Mr Bergen, superintendent of police—They were taken possession of under a warrant. Mr. Gardiner desired to be permitted to make some statements with respect to this matter, his name having been very improperly brought before the public. Mr. Smith—lt is a mockery of common justice that a man should sit and adjudicate upon this man's trial who had take❑ such a part in the transaction as I will show Mr. Hawkins has done. The coroner is bound to exercise his judicial authority and prevent him from sitting on the jury. The Coroner—The statement is quite irrelevant. Mr. Smith (to the witness)—Have anonymous letters been written ? The Coroner—Really, really, Mr. Smith ! I cannot sit hero and hear such questions put. lam here, with a jury of 22 respectable and independent gentlemen, assembled to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Ann Palmer, and I don't know what anonymous letters hare to do with such a case. Mr. Smith—Well, I think that you are right ; but cer tain facts should be made public, and they shall come out. The foreman of the jury said that the question which Mr. Smith was putting was irrelevant to the case. Mr. Smith complained of such a remark on the part of a juryman. Mr. Cooke objected that the statement that the boy went to meet his mother was not evidence, inasmuch as the witness could not say positively that he did. He did not wish- to raise any objections unnecessarily, bat he thought that it would be much better that no statement should be put upon the notes of the coroner that was not evidence. The foreman—l am here to do my duty; and I shall do it without fear, affection, or favour. Witness—l would add three words. Whatever evidence may be given before you (the coroner), Mr. Hawkins will not retire from the j urybox and give any other verdict than one that will be against my brother. The inquiry was here, at about 1 o'clock, adjourned for half an hour. Witness—l did not go to meet her. She walked to the Ivens°. I opened the door to her, and she was alone—the little boy, even, no t b e i ng with her. She complained that I had allowed the boy to go out to mast her. Mr. Deane (to the coroner)—l hope you will take down that statement. On the resumption of the inquiry, Mr. Smith resumed his objection to Mr. Hawkins sitting as a juryman, and desired the coroner to have him removed from the jury bench. The Coroner replied that Mr. Smith knew well that if any objection were to be made to a juryman, it ought to be made before the commencement of the proceedings. He refused to accede to Mr. Smith's application. - - - The Coroner declined to do so, as it was not evidence. Mr. Deane said that the statement was • very important, as it bore upon the testimony of other witnesses. The Coroner said that he wonldNake down any fact which might be adduced which was relative to the case, but if they were to take down everything that was said by Mrs. Palmer, and what she did, they might sit there for an unlimited period. Mr. Smith concurred with the views of the coroner. A Joryman—The statement appears to me to be evidence. The Coroner—Any statement made in the absence of the accused, cannot be evidence against him. Mr. Deane—But, Mr. Coroner, I think you will agree with me, and will inform the jury, that we are not here to take evidence as against Palmer, the deceased's husband, Sr any other person, but to ascertain the fa c t s in connection with the death 'of the deceased lady. The Corener—Oh, clearly. Mr. Smith—lt may be evidence of interest to an assur ance company, but it is not of importance in the case now before the jury. 'r. Deane—ln answer to that I may say that there is no s entrance company affected now by Mrs. Palmer's health. The only assurances that were,effected have been long since • Mr. William H. Tindall was then sworn. He said that he was the assistant actuary of the Atlas Asouranco Com pany, and produced a proposal to that office upon the life of the deceased Ann Palmer, made by the accused,William Palmer, for 5,0001., but the office refused to accept the pro posal. The applicant said that he was interested in his wife's death to the extent of the sum which he requested the office to guarantee to him. The proposal paper con tained William Palmer's signature, vouching for the cor rectness of its entries. It was dated the 6th of Feb., 1851. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith—l am not aware that other offices aro sharing the expense with the Atlas Com pany of these proceedings. Matilda Bradshaw deposed that she had known the de ceased, Anne Palmer, ever since she was a very young wo man, and attended her in her several illnesses as her nurse. Witness went to see her on the Monday after she returned home from Liverpool, when she was in bed, and said that she thought she had taken a severe cold through wearing thin clothes. Deceased said that in coming from Liver pool she took something that she thought bad done her good, and on the following morning attempted to get up, but was unable, being seized with sickness, and that sick ness had continued. Deceased added that when Dr. Knight came he gave her something which had done her good, but she soon got ill again. After she had said this, in reply to my question as to what was the matter with her, she said, " My dear Mrs. Bradshaw, I am glad that you are come ; sit by me on the bed." Witness did so, and then the ac cused left the room. After he had left she said that it was the sickness that exhausted her. This was all (con tinued the witness) that I heard her say ; but I am deaf. She vomited several times after I was with her. She took gruel, tea, wine and water, and grapes and bread. I pro posed other things, but with reference to almost every thing she said that it would make her sick. She never complained of any pain to me, excepting that arising from sickness. She was not purged much while I was with her until the last. She frequently said that she hoped her bowels would not trouble her again, or she shoald soon be dead. She sa id thi s th e morning before her death. When she felt some little unpleasant sensation in her bowels I told Mr. Palmer that her bowels had not acted, but he said that that was of no consequence. Ho spoke words to the effect that that was better for her as she took so little sup port. I had attended upon her up to that time, during three days and a half, and during the whole of that time her bowels had not been moved. They were not moved until the mornin g of her death. She was then purged several times. After that she appeared very weak and very low, and as soon as her bowels were moved the sick ness abated. She did not live more than three or four hours after that ; and the purging continued up to the time of her death. To the best of my recollection she died at about one o'clock in the day. By Mr. Deane—During the time that I was with her Mrs. Palmer had no solid food at all. T tried to persuade her to eat ; but she replied, " I cannot take anything." She said that her throat felt sore from the vomiting, which strained her throat. She complained at times of her mouth being dry. She was not particularly thirsty. The medical men who attended the deceased were Mr. Bamford and Mr. Palmer, her husband. I gave her some medicine. It was a little mixture, but not much. I tasted it. I tasted her mixture because I was in the habit of doing so in at tending upon sick people. She had two pills as well as the mixture. I don't remember that she took mere than two pills. I gave her that medicine, and only that. I saw no one else give her more. The night that she took the pills she slept more comfortably than before. This was two nights before her death. She had some effervescing draughts ; I forgot to mention that. They were given to her by Mr. Palmer, her husband. I cannot recollect how many she took. She generally asked for the effervescing mixture. They were given in my presence in this way ; be brought some quite clear water in a glass and a spoon with some .Powder in it. The glass was an ordinary tumbler, In connection with the above matter there is now being Prosecuted at Rugeley an inquiry iu which the postmaster is seriouely implicated. It will be remembered that in Me Sun a few days since there was reported a conversation which took place after the adjournment of the inquest on last Wednesday week. It had reference to the contents of a letter that had been sent from Dr. Taylor to Mr. Gardiner, the solicitor for the Crown in this case, relative to the process of the analysis which was then being made upon the stomach and intes tines of the deceased Cook. After that conversation cer tain representations were made to the Secretary of State, who immediately communicated with the Postmaster- General, and without the least delay two Post-office in spectors were sent down to Rugeley from London to inves tigate certain statements which had been made to the Secretary of State. The postmaster of Rugeley was removed temporarily from the duties of his office. The inspectors continued their inquiries, and thought the matter of so serious a nature that they caused the postmaster to be arrested and conveyed before the magistrates. The magisterial inquiry commenced on. Thursday, and was continued yesterday, • when Dr. Taylor st a ted—O a th e 27th Nov., 18Z, I received for examination a jar, containing the viscera of Mr. John Parsons Cook ; they were contained in a stone jar, sealed. On Tuesday, the 4th December, I received a letter Dec. from Mr. Gardiner, solicitor, of Rugeley, dated Rugeley, 2, 1855, on the subject of that examinatio n ; and o n Tues day, the same day, I wrote to Mr. Gardiner, in reply, a letter written by myself, and signed by Dr. Rees and my self. The letter now produced is the letter ; it is addressed as follows :—" James Gardiner, Esq., Messrs. Lauder and Gardiner, solicitors, Rugeley, Staffordshire." I enclosed that letter in a common adhesive envelope so addressed. I know it to have been the same letter from the fact of its having been written with a particular kind of ink, which I only use there, made by myself from oxide of croden. The envelope was secured in the usual adhesive manner. My practice, when closing such a letter, is not only to press it down, but also to feel at the sides to satisfy myself of its being securely fastened. I kept it in my pos,vssion, posted it in King William-street, and am as satisfied of its being securely sealed as it is possible for a man to bo satisfied of any trausactiou in life. This was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon; consequently in ample time for the post of that night. Post-office Inspector—Will you refer to the third page of that letter Z Dr. Taylor—Would it not be better to read the whole ! The Chairman—Oh, certainly, if you wish. The letter was then handed to the clerk of the court to be copied int •the depositions Dr. Taylor—You have made reference to the third page of that letter. There we stated that we had not found strychnine, prussic acid, or any kind of opium. Upon receiving the information which was contained in the letter of Dre. Taylor and Rees to Mr, Gardiner, The Coroner—Go on with*eur; examination; Mr. Deane, and I will take down such answers as I think necessary. Witness then continued, in reply to Mr. Deane, to repeat several statements which she had made in her examination in chief, adding—Mr. Palmer slept in his deceased wife's room until the Monday before her death. After Mr. Bal four, the surgeon, came on the Sunday, a bottle of medi cine and a box of pills were sent. The bottle was about the size of my finger, and I saw the medicine in Mr. Pal mer's hands. I prepared gruel and tea for her en Friday and Saturday, and on one day sago. Dr. liCnight came to the deceased after Mr. Balfour came. After Mrs. Brad shaw came she slept in the room with the deceased. So far as I know with reference to the question as to whether Mrs. Palmer might have got better at any period of her illness, I say that I have heard that she got a little better after taking the medicine which Dr. Knight prescribed on the Sunday evening. During the illness of the deceased Mrs. George Palmer called to see her. Mrs. Wells, from Abbots Bromley also called, but she was not allowed to see her. She was intimate with Mrs. Palmer, but during the time I was with Mrs. P a l mer s h e h a d not b e f ore ca ll e d to see her. Mr. Smith (to the Coroner)—Do you think it is any evi dence whether Tom, Dick, or /Tarry called? The basket woman might have called. Mr. Deane—And might have seen her. By a juror—How do you know, then, that they were in timate if Mrs. Wells never called ? Witness—l have heard it talked of. Examination by Mr. Deane resumed Mrs. Palmer died on the Friday. When she died Mr. Palmer was in the sitting-rooni. The bell rang and he went upstairs, when it was said that she was dead, and came down again al most immediately. Mr. Deane—Before Mrs. Palmer went to Liverpool, did Mr. Palmer attempt to take liberties with you ? The Coroner—Oh, really— Mr. Smith—l do not think it is a proper question. It is not a moral one. It is a most unusual one, too—the wit fleas being for the complaint. It must tend to invalidate her statement; and, if so, I have a right to object to the-ques tiou. Mr. Deans—l regard it as important that an answer sbettld be obtained to this question ; I ask the coroner to take it. The Coroner—lf you ask the witness a question that is likely to criminate her, I must say that she is not com pelled to answer it. Mr. Smith —If my friend would say whether he appears for the Crown, or for whom he appears, I should then know better what he is doin but, if he appears for the prt.secu tion, it is certainly the g; most extraordinary coarse that I ever knew an advocate to take with one of his own wit nom By 145 question he is (seeking to bring some nodal Palmer•sent a letter to the Coroner stating the purport of that examination. The Coroner had been requested to give information with reference to the communications which he had received, but he had not kept his promise, and today (trtday), during the interval of the adjournment, he promised to attend be fore the magistrate with this view. He came into the room and left, saying that ho was going to take a little refreshment in the same house (the hotel), and should be ready to be examined in 10 minutes. In order to take the coroner's evidence, Dr. Taylor's tes timony was made as brief as possible; but when a ulessan ger was sent to look after the coroner, it was found that he had returned to the Town-hall ; whence he sent to say that he could not come. _ The Chairman expressed a strong opinion upon this pro ceeding on the part of Mr. Ward, and suggested th.A the inquiry should be adjourned, and a surnames taken out compelling the coroner's attendance at the next inquiry. This inquiry was yesterday, and during a part of to day, considered private. Dr. Taylor regretted that the inquiry had not been con ducted more publicly, as it was one of great importance, tending as it did to remove all confidence on the part of the public in the security of the Post-office as a medium of secret correspondence. During thoyear he conducted 100 or 150 inquiries iutu circumstances which involved the safety or character of a very large number of persons ; and the Post-office was for the most part the medium through which the result of his examinations was commu nicated to the parties by whom he had been employed at a distance from London. If he could not feel satisfied that in the Post-office his communications were safo from the perusal of other persons than those to whom they were addressed he should be greatly confounded. The magistrate granted a summon fur the appearance of the coroner, and the inquiry was adjourned. We subjoin the report by Dr. Taylor and Dr. Rees of the analysis conducted by them in the case of the deceased Anne Palmer. This analysis will be handed into the jury to-day (Saturday) : " On Monday, December 24, 1855 one of us (Dr. Alfred Taylor) received at the chemical laboratory, Guy's Hospi tal, from Inspector Ellis Crisp, a box containing three white jars, sealed and otherwise well secured, labelled Anne Palmer, Nos. 1,2, and 3.' "No. 1 contained the stomach and duodenduin. "No. 2 contained the large and small intestines (p )r- Cons) and one kidney. " No. 3 contained the liver, spleen, heart, and right lung (portion). " No. 4, a packet, containing part of the lining of the shell, placed on the lid of No. 3. " The seals were compared with an entire seal sent by Dr. Monckton. They were unbroken. The contents of the jars had obviously not been interfered with since they were first packed. The jars were securely locked up until Wednesday, December 2Gth, whoa they wore examined by us. " NO. 1.-THE STOMACH. " The coats were firm and well preserved, considering the length of interment. Externally they presented nothing remarkable, except a slight yellow streak near the greater end. This had the appearance of mineral matter in the coats, such as might be produced by arsenic or antimony on the inside of the stomach. When the stomach was opened a highly offensive gas escaped. There was no liquid or solid contents, but a thin pasty-looking substance of a coffee-brown colour, was spread over the whole of the lining membrane. The whole quantity of this pasty mat ter on the surface of the stomach was estimated at about half a teaspoonful. The lining membrane presented slight patches of redness; but there was no ulceration, perfora tion, or organic disease of the stomach. " NO. 2.—LARGE AND SMALL INTESTINES. " The duodendum, part of the ileum, cee,min, and rectum or lower bowel, were examined. They presented no appear ance of disease. The small intestines were empty, but co ♦ered on the inside with a thin brownish-coloured substance. The inner coat of the rectum, or lower bowel, was covered with a deep orange-red substance closely adhering to it. On removing this substance there was no appearance of ulcera tion on the surface, or of any disease. The intestines were, comparatively speaking, well preserved, like the stomach. "The kidney enclosed in this jar was minutely examined, and found to be quite healthy. " No. 3. —THE LIVER, LUNGS, HEART, AND SPLEEN. " These organs were found to be in a hellthy condition. They had undergone some changes as the results of putre faction. The gall bladder contained bile, which was thick ened to the consistency of a brown paste. The cavities of the heart were empty ; the valves were firm and free from di seas e. The longs and spleen were softened from putre faction, but they presented no appearance of disease. "CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. "A chemical analysis, directed to the detection of mineral and vegetable poisons, was made of tho following parts "1. Tin BROWN PASTY CONTENTS OF THE STOMACH. ijak3y . were found to 'Contain, in rather large quantity, a preparation of antimony. A very minute portion of arsenic was also detected ; but as arsenic was not found deposited in the viscera, and is an occasional impurity in ordinary tartar emetic, we consider that the presence of this poison in the stomach of deceased may have been owing to such impurity. There was no trace of any other poison. "2. The coats of the stomach were examined, and yielded antimony. " 3. The large and small intestines contained antimony. " 4. Tho orange-red deposit on the rectum or lower bowel was removed and separately examined. Antimony was found in this, in larger proportion than in the stomach or other parts of the body. The colour of this substance was found to be owing to the partial conversion of the mineral to oxysulphuret of antimony, as a result of putrefaction. The coats of the rectum also yielded antimony. "5. The thickened bile, removed from the gall-bladder and separately tested, yielded antimony in a proportion nearly as large as that found in the rectum. " 6. About two ounces of the liver yielded antimony in well marked quantity. "7. The spleen contained antimony, but in a smaller proportion than the liver. " 8. The kidney contained a small quantity of antimony. " 9. Antimony was detected in the substance of the heart. _ _ _ _ _ " 10. Antimony was also detected in tho substance of the lungs, but in smaller proportion than in the other viscera, " 11. The drainings of the jars Nos. 2 and 3, consisting chiefly of blood, were tested, and found to contain anti mony. " 12. A portion of the lining of the shell and part of the dress of deceased were examined. They yielded no trace of antimony or of any mineral poison. " In this investigation 15 different analyses were made, occupying us from the 26th to the 31st of December. No other poison but antimony was detected in any part of the body. The conclusions at which we have arrived from this analysis and examination, are as follows : " 1. That all parts of the body of the deceased examined by us contained antimony. In the stomach and intestines the antimony was partly in a soluble form, while in the liver, heart, spleen, kidney, and lungs it had been depo sited as a result of ab , orption during life. " 2. The largest quantity of antimony was found in the rectum, next in the stomach and its contents, then in the bile taken from the gall-bladder, and the smallest quantity was found in the lungs. " 3. The presence of antimony in the contents of the rectum proves that the discharges from the bowels of the deceased contained antimony up to the time of her death ; that she was passing antimony by purging when she died ; and the presence of this mineral is sufficient to account for the vomiting or diarrhoea, or both, from which deceased is stated to have suffered. " 4. From the discovery of antimony in the contents of the stomach we infer that a preparation of antimony must have been taken by deceased within a few hours of her death. " 5. From the discovery of antimony in the stomach and intestines, especially in the rectum, we infer that the anti monial compounds, if not taken by deceased as the result of a series of accidents, were improperly administered to her either through ignorance or by design. "G. That in our opinion the antimony found by us in the body of deceased has not been the result of one large dose, but of several doles, taken at intervals some days be fore death, and to within a few hou rs o f h er death. "7. That the antimonial preparation taken by deceased was what is commonly called tartar emetic, and this may or may not have acted as a pos-on according to circum stances. It may or may not have been the cause of death. In the event of the existence of any natural cause for the illness of deceased it may have accelerated her death by producing great depression and exhaustion of the powers of life. " 8. In the examination of the stomach, bowels, and other organs of d e ceased we could not detect any changes as a result of natural disease. There was nothing to ac count for death.' On the other hand, there was nothing in these appearances inconsistent with the death of the de ceased from frequent doses of tartar emetic. "ALFRED S. TAYLOR, M.D., F.ll S. "G.
