Just published, and to be had at all Libraries, PERVERSION ; or, The Causes and Conse quences of Infidelity. A Tale for the Times. In Three Volumes. I' This work is extremely clever. It is intended to show the diffe rent phases that infidelity assumes, and to trace the practical results in their different social manifestations. The hook is well and tcm - perately written. The story has a touching interest, which lingers with the reader after lie has cl sed the book. There is no attempt at eloquence or fine writing ; the style is rigidly simple, but firm and strong." Athenfeum. " There are entertaining scenes of life at school, in barracks, at college, among the Mormons, and in what is called the religious world. It really deserves to be called A Tale for the Times,' and is the ablest novel that has appeared for many a day."—Literary Gazette. " ' Perversion' is powerful as a composition. The thoughts of the writer are well presented, with the power of unconscious mastery which his training gives to the scholar; an unflagging energy sus tains the writer from first to last."—Spectator.

Such of the manufacturers as can afford to hold appear in disposed to give way to the extent now required in order to secure business, entertaining an opinion that the market will recover itself as money becomes easier ; but this is not the principle upon which the majority are acting. In yarns, as in cloths, very little business has been transacted, either for home consumption or export, and prices have a drooping tendency. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : "From Thursday last to the close of the week there was a considerable business done in India goods, at prices slightly below those of Tuesday. To-day th ere i s b u t little doing in these goods, both buyer and seller appearing to be satisfied for the present with the operations of last week, and waiting the accounts by the mail now nearly due. With regard to other descriptions of goods, the market generally is exceedingly quiet, and prices still tending downwards." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., say :-- " There is again a very tame market to-day, the bias of prices continuing slightly downwards." LEEDS, MAY 27. There has been but a small quantity of cloth sold in the public markets here to-day, chiefly small lots to make up stocks, or any goods suitable for the fall trade that could be purchased at a shade lower than ordinary terms. Buyers appear indisposed to purchase large quantities of woollen cloths at the prices demanded by the manufacturers, who, it is but fair to observe, say that the cost of wool quite precludes their making any abatement. Both the shipping houses and those confined to the home trade are rather quiet, but an improvement may be expected as soon as the fall trade has fairly commenced. 06; C/9 117 -72 -71 -' 144/--1 1 44° --// ktif • donbt, give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt ; but if they came to a clear conclusion as to his guilt, they ...in 4 -4 ; '" k e t i lk , • were not to allow any suggestions ma d e by the deft not \‘‘ ' • • 0' h ; 'T r 0 Itl St ) - X 1 ;1 C ..

Lord Campbell —I have told the jury, unless they think the symptoms described agree with the supposi. tion that the deoesied died from strychnine, and, con. sistent with the facts, that they ought to acquit the prisoner. Mr. Baron Alderson - said that had been stated in the speech. After some further remarks from Mr. Sergeant Sheep Lord Campbell told the jury that Rot only must they be satisfied that the symptoms described agreed with the supposition that deceased died from strychnia, but that it was administered by the prisoner. It was then 20 minutes past two, and the jury retired,, and having been absent until 25 minutes to four, re turned into court. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• Taylor and D. Rees had Administered strychnia to th animal experimented upon the poison had not been found. We Next have the evidence of Dr. Rogers, a professor of chemistry in the St. George's School of Medicine, who had experimented upon decomposed animal 'matter and had discovered the poison, as the jury would 'recollect ,when they heard his evidence read .to them. , [His lordshiP here read the evidence.] Accord. ing to this evidence, where the stryohnia bad been mixed with impure , matter it ought to hava been discovered. The next witness was Dr. Henry Lethehy, a bachelor of medicine in the London Hospital. This gentleman stated that he had paid great attention to the action of poison on living . bodies ; and in his evidence he 'stated that in the account he had heard of Cook's death there The prisoner; who had retired below, was then brought up, , and again placed at the bar. He seemed perfectly calm. The jury having answered to their,names, Mr. Straight put the usual question—Are you agreed in your verdict; do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty ? The foreman said, in a firm tone of voice, we find the prisoner guilty. The crier of the Couri (Harker) then made the usual proclamation commanding Silence to be kept whilst the sentence of death was being passed. Their lordships having put on their black caps, Lord Campbell, in a voice that at times was scarcely audible, said —William Palmeri you have, after a long and impartial trial, by a jury of your own countrymen, been found guilty of the crime of wilful murder, and with that verdict my learned brothers, who have watched the trial • with the utmost anxiety throughout, and myself, entirely •: agree: A case like this is attended with such circum stances that it is'doubtful whether this is,yout.first crime or not—that is known only b God and yourself. There can be no doubt that you were, from long expe rience, intimate and familiar with the means of death. For this offence you must prepare to die. • Yon must not look for or expect any mer cy' Its this world, but by- prayerseek to" obtain it from another tribunal. You have, at your own ,request, and by an act of Parliament passed on purpose, been tried at this Court ; and this Court has the power to order you to be executed either at tire place of execution pertaining to this gaol, or remove you to the county where your crime was committed. We think for the sake of public example - that it ought to take place in the county of Stafford, and I hope that the terrible ex ample will deter others from sueh atrocious crimes, and show that whatever art, caution, or experience is exercised to prevent the discovery of such crimes, and that however secret or destructive such poisons may be, it is 'ordained by Providence, for the safety of its creatures, that there should be means of detecting those using them. I again implore of you to prepare for the awful change, which you are about to undergo. Ido not wish to harrow your feelings by entering into the details of this horrid case, but shall content myself with passing upon you the sentence of death, and that is that you be taken from where you aro now standing to the gaol of New gate. and from thence conveyed in custody to the gaol of Stafford, and from thence to the place of execution, and there to be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may the Lord have mercy upon your soul, and that after death your. body be buried, within the precincts of the gaol from whence you were taken. The prisoner did not seem at all affected while the awful sentence was being pronounced, but, on the con trary, there was evidently a s)rt of sneering expression on his countenance. The moment ths Chief Justice had concluded, he turned round and walked hastily away frem the dock and descended the staircase leading to the prison. The Lard Chief Justice then addressed the jury, and said he ha to tender them his most sincere thanks for the manner in which they had performed the arduous duty that had been cant upon them. They were, most of them, no doubt engaged in business, and the long de tention they had undergone mustjiave caused them very considerable inconvenience, if not loss, He could only hope that they would he rewarded by the approbation of their own consciences and the approval of their country. Mr. James then applied to the Court to order that all the forged bills that bad been produced should be impounded and placed in the charge of the officer of the court. was nothing which differed from death by tetanus caused by strychnia) and he farther stated that the symptoms of Cook's death 'were quits irreconcileable with anything he had ever beard. The evidence of Dr. Letheby was then read. At its conclusion his lordship said—Dr. Letheby no doubt spoke sincerely. He was a skilful scientific and hononrable'man, and ho Fitated that where strychnine had been administered he shouicl expect to find it, and it would be for the jury to say whether proper' means had been taken to diScoVer the poison. Then Dr. Gay was called, and ho detailed, a decided case of. tetanus. It was that of a labouring man. He stated it was a case of idiopathic tetanus. The man was kept alive tilt thel4th day, when he died. [This evidence was read.) It stated that an omnibus conductor was brought to. the withess suffering from catarrh. bra the fourth day stiffness of the jaw came on, and on the 14th day the man died. He had been suffering from a sore throat.] His lordship said—Here is a case of idiopathic tetanus, and it would • . he for the jury to infer what analogy there was with the case of Cook. The eviience that has been given, I think, goes to show that the case of death was no'inore idiopathic tetanus than traumatic. Then they had the evidence of Dr,: _ 13rgwn.: . 14.ordebia..1?aw PILO ,the evidence, which went to shoVilhat - the Case - Apoken to was one of tetanus in which there had been syphi- but there were wound of old standing in dif ferent parts of the body.] It will be recollected that there was none of those wound•, according to the evidence for the pro iecution, on the body of Cook. At the conclusion of the reading of the evidence of this wit ness, his lordship said—Here is a case of tetanus, but I don't know why it is brought forward, but in this case it will also be for yen, gentlemen, to draw your own inferences. There were wounds of old standing on the body of this man, but this was not the — case with Cook; there were no wounds on his body, and in this case the symptoms so nearly represented those produced by strychnine that its presence was actually suspected. They had the evidence of the house surgeon in the same point, and then Mr. Rightson, a pupil of Liebig. The evidence of this witness was then read, and it stated that the witness had been employed by the Crown to make several analyses. He was of opinion that strychnine ought to have been de tected, as he had himself discovered it both in a pure and impure state. The witness also stated that he hzd disc:Jeered the poison in the blood of both cats and dogs that had been killed by the poison, and he was of opinion that strychnine did not decompose in the a , .lt of poisoning, or in the entering into the circula- tion ; and in that opinion, he stated, he was decided. The witness went on to say it might possibly change into some substance, but he should still be able to detect it. The most minute portions of strychnine, in the opinion of this gentleman, ought to be found. At the conclusion of the reading of the other portion of this gentleman's evidence, his lordship said—This gentleman says that strychnine does not undergo decomposition, and he gave his evidence in such a manner as to merit tho highest commendation from the Court ; at the same time it was important to observe that when a full dose was taken he c )ul , l not tell if it was finally deposited in the blood or tissues upon reaching the point at which it kills. The evidence of Dr. Partridge, a gentleman of tho high est ability, went to show that death was produced by an attack of arachnitis. Tne evidence was read at length by his lordship, who observed—lt appears to be the opinion of this gentleman that Cook died in a spasm, but that spasm did not arise from araehnitis. Dr. Gay was then ex- amined. This gentleman detailed a case of tetanus which he had under hi 3 care. It was of a boy, in whom tetanus was caused by the smashing' or the second toe. [The evidence was here read.] I do not think that this ceee bears the slightest analogy to Cook's case. Dr. M'Donald was next examined. [The evidence given by this gentleman was then read; it stated that be had been called to a ease, that of Cathe. rine Watson, in one of the hospitals in Edinburgh, in which strychnine had been taken by mistake. In that case he found the body arched and rigid, but the patient, however, recovered. Its also attributed Cook's death to epileptic convulsions with tetanic complications. He had also, he stated in evidence, seen two cases of idiopathic t&anus ; and, in answer to pies tions put to him, he said he never knew a person dying of epilepsy retaining his consciousness till death actually took place. Ho further states that it was within the range of probability that mental or eensual excitement might have °angel Cook's deetle e pr,that the white spots spoken to In s ight haire ihektasuasel death. lir. Qtated: that bichg4l°. lerientri istetts of epilepsy. where the patient 'tvas well the neigtribly i after an epileptic attack.] The reading of the evidence having been finished, his lordship remarked— Yen see, gentlemen of the jury, the length to which this witness goes—he adopts a new term of disease, epileptic convulsions with tetanic complications, and, accord ing to his opinion, the disease might arise from mental or sensual excitement, and it will be for you, gentlemen of the j wry, to say what anmunt of importance you will attach to this part of the case. Dr. Gay was next examined. The evidence was read at length ; and, at its conclusion, his lordship remarked that, whether the C 9,30 was one either of traumatic or idiopathic tete. nue, it bore not the least reference to the symptoms of Cook. Dr. Robinson was then examined with a view of showing that Cook's death might have arisen from epi lepsy ; but before the gentleman could give such an opi nion, he stated it would ho necessary to ascertain the absence of strychnine. Now, the symptoms in Cook's case did not bear out the inference that he died from epilepsy, as he retained his consciousness to the last. Dr. Richardson was the last medical witness examined, end this gentleman thought that death might have been caused through angina pectoris, and he stated that in the cases he had seen they so resembled the symptoms of strychnia, that had he spoken to this examination, that, if at the time he had known as much about strych nia as be did n ssr, he might have been led to sus pect strychnia being present in those instances. No a', gentlemen, continued his lordship, if you should come to the conclusion that strychnia was not given to Cook, of course you will give a verdict in favour of the prisoner, but if on the other hand you should be of a contrary opinion, and you think that the deadly p Aeon was administered by the poisoner to the decaseel, it will become your bounden duty to return a verdict accordingly. His lordship having alluded to the evidence given by Dr. Pemberton said—l have now gone through the whole of the medical evidence, and think it will be better if the Court at this point adjourn for a short time. Upon the re-assembling of the Court his lordship said— I have now gone through the whole of the medical evi dence for the defence, and shall proceed to that portion of it that relates to the other part of the defence, and went through the evidence of the police inspector as to the time the train left leondon for Rugeley, and also that of the publican, who spoke of Cook belong ing to a cricket club, and his hunting, which proved deceased to have been in good health at that time. The learned judge then went through the evidence of the witness Sergeant, and asked them if they thought that Cook was in bad health. Tie now came to a most im portant wanes; ; that was Mr. Jeremiah Smith. He was most material in determining one part of the case, and it will be for you to say what faith can be placed in what he has said. His lordship then went through the whole of the evidence, which spoke of the pills, upon the Monday night, and about the state of the deceased's throat when dressed by Thirlby. Gentlemen, you have heard the account which this witness has given of his handwriting to the docu ments upon the subject of Walter Palmer's life. He admitted to you that he received 51., and it is for you to say whether he did not receive that for having attested the policy upon Walter Palmer's life ; if you believe this, you will say what reliance you can place upon his veracity. You can find that he knew that for six years Walter Palmer had been a penniless man. Again, take the transaction he was engaged in with the life of Bates. He knew the condition of the man, and yet he tried to effect an insurance for 10,0001. upon his life. Could they doubt that he got himself made an agent for the purpose of forwarding that view. It will be for you to say whether you can believe a man whom you find engaged in such transactions. His evidence was most important, as it proved, if believed, that the pills made by Dr. Bamford on the Monday night could not have been interfered with by Palmer, as they were taken by Cook before Palmer could get at them. His lordship then read the letter upon racing matters which had been put in at the close of the defence to show that the prisoner and deceased were connected in business matters. He had now gone through the whole of the evidence, and it was for them to say how far it affected that upon the part of the Crown. The important question was, were the symptoms of the deceased's death consistent with death by strychnia, end if so was it changed by the medical evi• dente given for the defence ? Prisoner's witnesses agreed that Cook's symptoms were those of strychnine, although they could not account for its absence after death. Then with regard to the facts, there was a difference about the brandy and water supposed to have been dosed, and the evidence of Jeremiah Smith respecting the return of prisoner to Rugeley upon the Monday night, and it was fur them to say whether that altered the opinion which the previous evidence would have upon their minds as to the prisoner's conduct. There was the fact of his eagerness to get the body disposed of. No answer had been given to that, nor yet with regard to the absence of the betting book. and the prisoner tampering with the coroner, and bribing the post boy. Then, above all, there was no explanation as to what had become of the strychnine purchased by the prisoner. The cage was before them, and unless they thought that clear conviction was brought to their minds as to the prisoner's guilt, it was their duty to acquit him. They were not to proceed upon suspi. cion, or even strong suspicion, but there must be strong conviction intheir winds, and if there WM any reasonable B-fore the judges left the court they signed a warrant for the removal of the prisoner to Stafford Gaol, and an order to the sheriff of that county to carry out the sen• tence. DEPARTURE OF PALMER FOR STAFFORD GAOL. Contrary to general expectation Palmer was removed last night from Newgate prison. At twenty minutes to eight o'clock two cabs drove up to Newgate, one of them entering the gaol gates, and the other remaining outside the governor's entrance. In a few minutes after Palmer was brought put of the governor's door, placed in the cab, which, after the entrance of Mr. Weatherhead (the governor) and two officers, drove off as rapidly as pos sible, scarcely being noticed. A great crowd, however, hal collected round the gaol gates, and when, a few seconds afterwards, the second cab was brought out empty, they saw that they had been deceived, and im mediately ran after the first cab, which, owing to the crowded state of the top of Newgate-street at the time it started, they succeeded in overtaling opposite Hatton. garden. Several hundred persons collected here, and hooted the prisoner in the most excited manner. The cab arrived at the Euston station in time for the 8 o'clock train. At the station, also, there was much ex cAement, Palmer Laving been recognised at the instant he arrived on the platform. He was thrust into the mi idle compartmeut of a first-class carriage, and the blinds were at once drawn across the windows. Palmer was dressed in convict's costume (having been divested of his own clothes within half-an-hour after the verdict was given), his feat were ironed, and his hands hand cuffed, a cloak covering the whole. It was probable that before 12 o'clock Palmer would be safely lodged in Staff ,rd gaol. The prisoner's brother, accompanied by Mr. Jeremiah Smith, the solicitor, called at Newgate shortly after 7 last evening, but were not allowed to see the prisoner, being told that ample opportunities for an interview world be afforded them at Stafford. The prisoner left Newg•ite with unabated courage, and with an expression of rehanca on the exertions of his friends and his solicitor to procure a remission of his sentence. A insaiorandum is in preparation, addressed to the Government, showing strong medicl reasons why the sentence cannot with justice be executed. Syrhptoms, it is urged, ought not to weigh. Diversity in tetanus is as frequent as in any other disease, and in strychnia poisoning the accession of symptoms is as varied as in ,tny other species of tetanus. The pathological and phy siological data upon which the prosecution has taken its stand will be rebutted. -7, • t O t " " 77-1 K a ‘-E The Lord Chief Justice said—Let it ba done. His lordship then.said he thought it right, before the Court separated, to express his thanks to the sheriffs for the admirable arrangements they had made for the preserve tion of order and regularity during this important trial. Everything was done that could be required ; and he begged to tender his thanks to them and to the City of London for the pains they had taken to preserve order. The proceedings of this most extraordinary trial ought not to be brought to a close without an acknowledgment of the great politenes3 and assistance rendered by the uncler-Jheriff , , Messrs. Stone and Rose, to the represen tatives of the press. They had, as may well be imagined, very arduous duties of their own to perform, but still they did everything that was possible to give the re !porters all the facilities that were practicable, and gave the most prompt attention to any just complaints that ..were made to them.

EPSOM, TUESDAY,—THE OPENING DAY. The prelude to the Great Event which is to take place this day, was played with, perhaps, unusual success. Al though the attendance of general company did not exceed an opening clay's average, yet the sport was of the most interesting and attractive character. For the principal events the fields were numerically important, and in cer tain instances speculation was briskly pursued. The weather was warm and genial, and in fact through out the day there was neither let nor hindrance to the full enjoyment of the sport. Still, by mere pleasure-folk, the opening day at Epsom is invariably disregarded ' • aud, perhaps, a lar g e majority of the people who v i s it the Downs on the Derby-day, scarcely recollect, until they see the result of the races in print, that there was anything to excite the curiosity, or attract the!attention of sporting men on the Tuesday. To speculators, the first day presents attractions independent of its racing, for certain movements of deep significance with reference to the Derby are generally made. On the present occasion, although the betting was brisk and im portant with regard to certain horses only, yet the opera tions were particularly interesting. We have appended a list of the latest quotations on the Downs to our account of the proceedings, but, in order that it may be the better understood, a few explanations are necessary. Prior to the race for the Craven stakes, Wentworth was backed freely at 3to 1. On the success of his stable com panion Kalipyge, however, 5 to 2 was taken to a large amount, and afterwards 2 to 1 was be eked to nearly 3,009,7. about him. At last, however, the current offer on the field was 9to 4. Cannokie and Fazoletto were both well supported at 5 to 1 each ; the forme . .., perhaps, being the bettor favourite of the two. A violent opposition set in against Vandermulin, who was reported " shin sore," and about whom, in fact, the most unfavourable rumours ware circulated. Alter 15 to 1 had been laid to 3901., and to several minor sums, ho receded to 20 to 1 offered. Apropos of Vandermulin, wo may state that his owner claimed the services of Bartholo mew, who was also under an 'engagement to' Ur. Bowes. After hearing evidence on both sides, it was decided that Bartholomew's engagement to Mr. Bowes was filly proved. Fly-by-Night was in considerable demand. At first 15 to 1 was booked about him to several hundred pcuads. The last bet which came under our notice was 12 to 1 to 3001. 1,000 to 60 was taken twelve times about Ell:figton. The running of the Coroner, who has always boon re ported many pounds inferior to Yellow Jack, seemingly convinced those who had discredited the rumour that the owner of the two horses was after all best acquainted with their relative merits-40 to 1 was offered against the Coroner, whilst his stable companion, Yellow Jack, was advanced to 100 to 6 taken. 3to 1 was taken to 4001. about Soot's "lot."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE RUGELEY POISONINGS. [The following appeared in part of our impression of yesterday.] The Court opened this morning at 10 o'clock. The same intense interest was manifest both within and without the court as'on yesterday as to the result of the trial. By 9 o'clock that portion of the court appro priated co the publio was densely crowded, and there were several gentlemen and noblemen on the bench at that early hour. . The jury entered the court shortly before 10 o'clock, and on their Lordships' arrival the prisoner was placed in the dock. His appearance is mach the same as it was at the commencement of the trial. There is, how ever, a slight shade of sadness in his expression, but no traces of that anxiety and deep mental suffering to be expected in a man charged with suck a dreadful crime and with his life in such imminent danger. During the continuance of the summing up today, notwith standing the strong remarks of Lord Campbell with reference to the damaging points of evidence against the prisoner, he presented that coolness and indifference he has all along exhibited in a most re markable and extraordinary manner. Ho repeatedly took notes of the summing up, with the deliberate and systematic manner of a person ordinarily interested in the case, and when any particular point struck him he communicated it in writing to his counsel. It was done in a quiet easy manner, devoid of all kinr} of display, and not with the intention of attracting the notice of the public. The jury having been called over and answered to their names, - Lord Campbell, who was again very inaudible, said— Gentlemen of the Jury, —At the adjournment of the Court lad. Weaning -4 i finished', the 3 task Of litYing before you all the evidence on the part of the prosecution, and certainly it does present a serious case against . the pri soner, if unanswered; It appears that in the middle of November the prisoner was involved in pecuniary diffi , culties of the most formidable nature. He had engage ments to perform which he was unable to Meet without the most extraordinary exertions. He had to make pay ments for which he was unprepared, and an action had been brought against him and his mother on a forged bill of exchange. He had no credit, and he had no pro perty on which money could be raised. It so happened that on the 13th of November the deceased became pos sessed of 1,0001. by the winning of his horse Polestar, and there is evidence from which the inference may be drawn that the prisoner framed the design of appro priating his money to his own use. He took means to accomplish that object, for you will find that he appro priated his money to the payment of debts of which he alone was liable. There is also evidence fr )ni which it may be inferred that he drew a check in the name of Cook upon Weatherby which was a forgery, in order to obtain part of the money belonging to Cook. This was in Weatherby's hands, and you have the further evi dence that he employed Fisher to collect Cook's money and apply it to his own use. It also appears that from Cook's death he would become possessed of the horse Polestar, and you have the evidence of his having fab ricated a document which was to be produced, to the effect that certain bills of exchange on which they were jointly liable were negotiated for Cook's advantage only and from which the prisoner derived no benefit, and brought forward after Cook's death. If, however, Cook had survived that fraud must have been exposed, and the prisoner punished. It is said that, with respect to the joint liability of Cook and Palmer, that by Cook's death it must all be thrown on him. That was rather a distant object, for it Palmer got possession of all Cook's property by this 'means he would not be a sufferer by his death. As to the important question, whether Cook might be supposed to have died from natural disease, or from poison, you have heard the evidence of Sir Ben jamin Brodie and other most honourable and able men in the profession, who said that, in their opinion, he did not die of natural disease—that they knew of no natural disease that would account for those symptoms under which Cook laboured previous to his death ; but, on the contrary, that they believed that the symptoms de scribed were such as might be expected from the use of strychnine—that, comparing these symptoms with uaturel tetanus, they did not correspond, but they did with thOse brought on by strychnine. Teen with respect to the statement that no strychnine was found in the body is one entirely for your consideration ; but there is no point of law by which poison must be found in the body of a deceased person who has died from the administration of poison ; and respecting poison not being found in Cook's body by Professor Taylor and Dr. Rees, who analysed the con tents of that part of it which was forwarded to them, you have witnesses of great reputation, and Dr. Christi son among the number, who stated that under certain circumstances strychnine cannot be found in the human body ; and you have the evidence of Professor Taylor and Dr. Rees, who experimented on animals destroyed by strychnine, that they were unable to find it in the bodies r-of thysenuimaia by resort,i4g t 0.0,04.18 Erlethkti .1 de, tection that .they.enlpreyed":in oraluiltdif the , bncYy4l Cook, and in which no strychnine was found. With re gard to the length of time between the allegedldnilnis tration of the strychnine and the time the symptoms .appeared, the evidence scents to lead to this conclusion, that much depends on the state of the person to whom it is administered, and the manner in which it is adminis teredebut that in many instances a greater space of time occurred between the ingestion of the poison and death in human beings than in animals. Mr. Sergeant Shea —That's not in evidence, my lord. Lord Campbell—lt was agreed on both side; in the course of the trial that reference might be made by the witnesses to known cases of medical writers bearing on the case, and in the works referred to that principle was acknowledged, and I therefore am justified in using it, Mr. Sergeant Shee shook his head. Lord Campbell—Thera being no blood found in the heart on the poet mortem examination appears to be re lied on by the prosecution, and the result is this, that if death be produced by the obstruction of the respira tory organs producing astdayxia blood is found in the heart, but if by spasms or the heart it contracts, the blood is expelled and none is found in it. Aud the evi dence shows that in two instances it has proved to be the case in the human subject. Under these circumstances you have to look at the evidence of the prosecution which goes to show that the prisoner first tampered with his victim by administering to him something in his brandy and water, and in broth, the latter of which was partaken of by the female Mills, and, ac cording to her evidence and that of Lavinia Barnes, it produced the same symptoms on her as it did on Cook. You have evidence of antimony being found in the de ceased's body, which shows that tartar emetic, which produces vomiting, had been administered to him, but from what source and for what purpose you are to say. Tnen you have the evidence that the prisoner procured sirychnia on the Monday and Tuesday nights, but for what purpose had not been shown; neither had the pri soner attempted to impeach the evidence of the witnesses in respect of it. What was the inten tion ? what was the application of it ? No ex planation had been given of it, and it was impos sible not to pay attention to the conduct of the prisoner at the bar, in reference to Cook's death, without con sidering whether it was such as was consistent with the conduct of a guilty or an innocent man. He was most eager that the body should be fastened down in the coffin, and with regard to the deceased's betting-book you have evidence from which you may infer that the betting-book was abstracted by the prisoner. Then, again, in trying to bribe the postboy to overturn the fly in which was the jar containing the parts of the body for analy sation, and we might conceive the evidence of his guilt when we find him tampering with the Postmaster of Rugeley, and getting him t; open a letter from Dr. Taylor, after he had examined the contents of the jar, to Mr. Gardiner, the attorney for the prosecution. We also find the prisoner tampering with the coroner to in duce him to procure a verdict from the coroner's jury that would amount to an acquittal. These are serious matters for your consideration, and you, and you alone, must say what inference is to be drawn from them. If they are not answered satisfactorily by the prisoner they present a serious case against him ; but if you are satisfied that they are, you will, of course, find that the prosecution has failed to make out its case. The answer which the prisoner has given to the charge 1 consists of two parts ; the first consisting of medical evidence, and the second as to the fact. With regard to the former, a number of gentlemen of the highest honour, unsullied integrity, and of profound scientific knowledge, have come forward with a sincere desire to speak the truth, and to bring the investigation to a proper issue ; but it is for you to say whether, from their manner in the witness-box, either of thern had changed the character of a witness into that of an advo cate—for, if so, such conduct was reprehensible in the extreme. The learned judge then proceeded, and read the evidence of the defence, commencing with Dr. Nunnely's. It will be recollected that Mr. Nunnely was the person who discovered the strychnia in the Leeds case, and also in the body of a person named Waterhouse. He de tailed at great length the tests be applied to discover the strychnia in both cases. In his evidence he further stated that in the case he had seen there was not more than the ordinary amount of rigidity ; and another im portant part of the statement of Mr. Nunnely was that on the post mortem examinations he had invariably und the heart full after death. This circumstance dif fers from the state of the heart of Cook, as it was found empty. At the conclusion of the evidence his lordship said—l am sure you will give your most serious attention to the facts mentioned by this witness, as they differ materially from the medical evidence for the prosecution. He states there was no more than the ordinary amount of rigidity after death, and he also attaches great impor tance to the heart of Mr. Cook being found empty. I now come to the evidence given by Mr. Herapath. His lordship, having read it at length, said—Mr. Herapath is a skilful chemist, and he differs with Mr. Nunnely as to the rigidity of the body after death. In the cases he had seen the bodies of the animals were found perfectly rigid, and he also was of opinion that had strychnine been administered it ought to have been discovered. But he had given an opinion even in this case to the effect that there might have been strychnine present, and Dr. Taylor and Dr. Rees imight not have taken the p ro p er me ans to discover it. But they had it in evidence in the two cases where Dr. BREVET.
