Notice is hereby given, that the original plan of raising the capital of the Association by nominee shares, subject to a deferred, or rever sionary interest contingent upon life, having been found liable to ob jection in Parliament as involving the principle of a Tontine, the Provisional Committee have decided upon altering that part of their plan, and now notify that the capital will be raised by the issue of ordinary shares of 1001. each, and that the whole of the net rental will be divided annually amongst the Proprietors. Subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan originally announced, are requested to signify their assent or dissent to the transfer of their subscriptions to the amended scheme on or before Monday, the 24th inst., when dissentients may receive back their deposits, without deduction.

The prisoner, however, had been a chemist and druggist, and he knew it perfectly well. Probably no evi dence will be adduced to show that the poor woman bought the poison. But we shall show you that the prisoner had that very morning bought poison. If the deceased did ad minstcr it to herself, where is the little phial? It is not to be found. But I shall show you that the prisoner himself had such a phial that morning. Where is it ? I shall prove to you that the prisoner went back again to the chemist in Bishopsgate-street, and stated that he had lost that bottle. Where is it ? You will. find the prisoner coming out of the house at the time the woman must have been in a dying condition. He is asked what is the matter, but makes no observation. lie leaves the woman to herself; and then the next thing that he states is, that he never was there. I trust that you will give these ob servations no more weight than they deserve, but still as much as they deserve. This is an issue not only important to the public, but to the prisoner. The prisoner has a right to have the benefit of any doubt, not of any capricious doubt, but of any well-founded doubt, and the public have a right to expect, if you have no reasonable doubt, that you will pro tect them from crimes of this nature, so that they may sit down to their daily meals in peace and safety. Gentlemen, the issue is with you. I need not trouble you with a single observation more, satisfied as I am that your venlict will be given agreeably to your own conscientious feeling, and satis fsctorily to public justice. The address of the Learned Sergeant was listened to with breathless interest throughout. Mr. F. KELLY requested that - the iiriSPtier might be ac commodated wi'h a seat. _ _ _ RIAL OF JOHN TAWELL. AYLESBURY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12 The scene at Aylesbury this morning, at half-past eight o'clock, in the Market-place, and at the entrance to the Court, was one of the most animated and eminently dis orderly that could possibly be imagined. It more resembled the crush and rush at the hustings of a contested election than the opening of a Court of criminal justice. After a struggle ofmore than half an hour's duratiOn, destructive o clothes and almost fatal to life or limb, the reporters fought their way to a miserable little corner of one of the galleries, totally insufficient in space, and destitute of any accommoda tion, the front seat being too far from the rail to allow of writing, and the back seat too high to be available as a seat, and twice as many reporters present as could be supplied with even standing room. But the scene within the Court beg gars all description.. The opening of a minor London theatre for the first night of the Christmas pantomime is the only scene to which it could be compared—crushing, yelling, jesting, shouting, and making every sort of noise. A worse arrangement for regulating admission to the Courtsheuse could scarca.-y have beeit adopted. A small band of police men were ranged along the top ofihe steps, and their conduct was most proper. Mr. Tindall, the sub-sheriff, also showed .every disposition to manage affairs with a due consideration fir the public convenience and the nature of the solemn business of the day. But there were three or four officials in the ball leading to the staircase who seemed to take delight in obstructing the passage of those whom the under-sheriff had already permitted to pass. So great was the confusion occasioned by the mismanagement of the inferior officers of .the Court that it was a long time,heford the proceedings could be carried on. Mr. Baron Parke entered the Court about nine o'clock. A large attendance of the local magistracy thronged the bench. Mr. Sergeant Ryles and Mr. Prendergast. conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. F. Kelly, with whom were Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Gunning, the defence. The prisoner, who was attired in a suit of black, made after the fashion generally adopted by the Society of Friends, of which he was a member, was then placed at the bar. As already known, he is about 60 years of age. His appearance is respectable, and the expression of his countenance intelli gent, although rendered somewhat disagreeable by a squint. When he approached the bar he was very pale, and looked anxious, but betrayed no timidity of nervousness, and on being asked by the clerk of the assize (after the reading of the indictment, which contained but one count, charging him with having caused the death of Sarah Hart on the lr t of January, by giving her poison). " How say you, are you guilty with respect to that murder or not guilty ?" he re-- plied in a firm and audible tone, " Not guilty." Having also pleaded "Not guilty" to the same charge upon the coroner's inquisition, The jury was sworn after a challenge by Mr. O'Malley, on behalf of the prisoner, of 13 names. Mr. Sergeant BYLES, in opening the case for the prosecu • tion said, the prisoner at the bar formerly carried on the busi ness of a chemist and druggist. He had the misfortune seve ral years ago to lose his first wife. Shortly before her death the deceased, Sarah Hart, then a young woman somewhere about thirty years of age, entered into his service, and I shall sheer you by evidence, which I need not open in detail, the nature of the acquaintance which subsisted between her and the prisoner, and that when she left his service she was in the familyway. She lived first after quitting his service at a place called Crawford-street, London, where the prisoner was in the habit of visiting her. She lived afterwards at Paddington-green, thence removed to Slough, and fur some time previous to her death was living at Bath-place, which consists of four small cottages, forming one detached building. Bath-place stands upon the Great Western-road, about a quarter of a mile beyond the Windmill public-house, which is kept by a person named Botham. In the end house, towards London, lived Mrs. Ashley ; in the next the deceased, Sarah Hart., the mother of two children, who was living there with them, and who, as it will appear to you in the course of the case, was entirely dependent on the prisoner for her support, and whom he was in the habit of visiting, at Bath-place, and supplying with money. The pri soner himself has recently resided at Berkliamstead in circumstances of apparent ease and affluence. He married no long time since a second wife—a lady to whose deep mis fortune no man could allude without feelings of commissera tion. I shall show you that, notwithstanding the apparent ease and respectability, of his circumstances, he was at the time this occurrence took place by. no means in such circum stances. I shall call his banker's clerk to show you that at this moment he had overdrawn his account. You will fir.d that he was in the constant habit of visiting Sarah Hart, that she was dependent upon him for money, and that he found himself in this position—that money must be supplied, or that what would otherwise be secret must become apparent, namely, the nature of hts connexion with this person. Oa the Ist of January, in the present year, the prisoner was . at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, Cunha', London, the waiter of which he told, about the middle of the day, that he was go ing to dine at the west end of the town, and desired that his great-coat should be left for him on his return about nine o'clock. He did not proceed to the west end of the town, but to the station of the Great Western Railway, by the four o'clock train of which railway he proceeded to Slough. On arriving at Slough, he went to the residence of Sarah Hart, at Bath-place; and 'it will appear that after he had been a shut time with her she went, by his direction, to the Windmill public-house for a bottle of porter. It is im portant to bear in mind that she was at that moment per fectly well and in very good spirits. Having bought the porter, she borrowed a corkscrew, and brought both home with her to Bath-place. I shall call a person who spoke to her on her way back, from whose testimony you will learn that shewas then perfectly well. Very shortly after her re turn Mrs. Ashley, the person who resided in the next house, being seated at work before a candle, heard -a noise in the room of Sarah Hart. I should. observe to you that these cottages consist each of two very small rooms on the ground floor. Mrs. Ashley heard in her neighbour's apartment a moan or stifled scream. She laid down her work ; the noise continued ; she became very much alarmed, and, taking up the candle, went to the door, and proceeded down the path leading from the cottage to the road ; but before she reached the gate she saw the prisoner approaching the gate which terminated a similar path from the cottage of Sarah Hart. Mrs. Ashley will tell you that at this - moment the moans of the deceased were distinctly audible. The prisoner went to the gate ; he, trembled, appeared greatly agitated, and had much difficulty in opening the gate, which, I believe, Mrs. Ashley, who had reached it by this time, assisted him in opening, saying, "What is the matter with my neighbour; I'm afraid she is ill?" The prisoner made no answer, but passed out of the gate, and proceeded towards Slough. Mrs. Ashley, in consequence of the noise, went up to Sarah Hart's house, and turning round, saw the prisoner going down the road. She then Went into the house, and observed in Sarah Hart's room, just before the fire-place, a small table, and on it a bottle o f p or t er o p en , an d partly drunk, also two tumblers, one of which was next the window and towards the chair upon which Sarah Hart bad apparently been sitting. In one of these tumblers there was some froth, in the other there was porter or porter and water, it is rot quite certain which. The deceased, Sarah Hart, was lying on the floor ;her cap was off, and her hair hanging down. Her clothes were up to her knees; one stocking was down, and one shoe off. She was still continuing the, moaning noise which I have described to you. Mrs. Ashley went up to her and asked her what was the matter, arid raised her head up, but the deceased was unable to speak. Mrs. Ashley called in two . neighbours, arid some water was brought. Eventually, Mr. Champneys, a surgeon, was sent for. He felt her pulse, and said he thought he could discover one or two beats She moved her tongue, or jaw, a little. Mr. Champneys put his hand under h er clothes to feel her heart, but he could discover no pulsa tion. She was clearly dead. In the meantime, -I shall sho w you , gen tlemen, that the prisoner, who had gone out of the house, was going on quickly towards the railway station. He came that day from London, and was about to re - turn, and did return; but insteadof staying at the station then, he got into an omnibus to go to Eton, Eton being in a direction away from the station. He was asked by the driver where he desired to be set down in 'Eton. He replied, " At Herschell-house." " Oh," said the driver, " Herschell-house is a long way this side of Eton." It appears that it is in Slough, a few hundred yards from the station. He, how ever, rode a short distance, and was set down at Herschell house, where it appeared he had no business, for on getting up to the door he proceeded to walk on towards Eton. The omnibus went on in the seine direction. What became of him in the interval we do not know, but he certainly went back to the station, and took a place in a first-class carriage for London. At that time suspicion became attached to the prisoner. Another gentleman of the name of Champneys— the Rev. Mr. Champneys—was there, and suffered him to depart. But as soon as he was gone Mr. Champneys commu nicated his suspicions to the person who conducts the electric telegraph. A signal was made to the station in London that the sig na l w as there a person was in the first -class carria ges who ought to be went,aaiinetdheaantthe London terminus. length other particulars, ew s papers, whichTiwo The watched. c Learned e bh d ea before Quick Counsel thek a appeared the e eanr arrived e t sd r tn respecting the movements of -the prisoner , his p urs uit by the policeman, his statements about the deceas e d and her pouring something already ic train i tp n h out of a phial into the glass of porter, and his arrest at the Jeru salem Coffee-house. The following are his concluding re marks :—lt will be too clear that deceased died by poison, and that the poison is prussic acid. Prussic acid, particularly such a dose as this, is most rapid in its effects. Now this is a case in which the time when the prussic acid was taken, if taken at all, is placed beyond a doubt, because she could not have taken it when she went out to the Windmill and bought the bottle of porter, for she was then in good health. It will be clear to you from Mrs. Ashley's statement that it must have been taken when she was in that room with the prisoner alone, as well as from his own statement. The poison, if poison it was, was administered in that little room when they were together alone. If so, she must either have administered it to herself, or he to her. Now let me ask your kind atten tion—and do net give more weight to my observations than you think they deserve—to the first supposition, that she ad ministered the poison to h:rself. She was in good health and spirits immediately' before; she was the mother of two children who were living with her in that house. Did she know the nature of this deatAY poimois ? if she had it, where did she get, it? She lived in Bath-place; she must either have bought it in the vicinity, or she mast have sent somebody for it. You will expect, therefore, some evidence of the mode in which she obtained it. The prisoner says • she poured it out of a sma ll p hi al. Where is that phial? The house has been searched. I elan give you a great deal of evidence with respect to the bottles found in the house. The result is, that no such phial can be found. It is quite clear that the prisoner left the deceased moaning and dying ; would lie have done that if she had taken the poison her self? I feel, gentlemen, that it is very invidious and painful for a person in my situation to make:these observations; hut it is my duty to call your attention to these things. I ask von, whether, no evidence being given to that effect, von will lie of opinion that she administered the poison to herself? I If she dicl not, inasmuch as it was taken in that room, in LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Board of Trade having given notice of its intention to report to Parliament against the London and York Railway, the Committee or Direction deem it right at once to inform the Share holders and the public that it is their determination to proceed with their Bill, which has been read a second time, immediately on the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee after Easter. The Committee of Direction beg further to express their convic tion that when—as in the case of the London and York, linethe towns. and districts through which a Railway is laid out are urgent and unanimous, and capitalists have subscribed the money for its construction, Parliament will not refuse the requisite sanction, for the sake of protecting exieing.Railways, which neither afford the sane local accommodation, nor are so direct in their course.

Attwood, Esq., 13, 'Upper Seymour-street, Portman- A chair was them placed in the (lock for his secommcdation. The following witnesses were then called for the prose outien Mary Ann Ashley, examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST.—I live in Bath-place, Salt-hill. On the Ist of January, Sarah Hart was living next door to me. I saw the prisoner that day going to her house, between four and five in the even ing. He went in. I saw no more until I heard a stifled 'sort of scream in the house. That was between six and seven o'clock. I was then in my house at the fire in the lower room. The stifled scream appeared to come from Mrs. Hart's. I took the candle and opened the door. (The noise in Court here was so great that the proceedings were for some time suspended totally ; at length they were resumed.) I saw the prisoner coming out of Mrs. Hart's house. There is a little garden in front of each house, seven yards long. The houses are in a small row, consisting of four. My house is nearer to London, and her's next. They have two rooms each on each floor, two storeys high. On opening the door I saw the person I bad let out at the gate. I went to Mrs. Hart's gate before the prisoner got out. He appeared agitated and could not open the gate. There was a small button, which was hard to open. I said nothing to him about what I heard when I was opening the gate for him. I had made a remark before. Directly I went out I said" I am.afraid my neighbour is ill." I should think I spoke loud enough to be heard by the pri soner. He was in the pathway, coming down, about six or seven yards from me. No reply was made; not a word. When I got to Mrs. Hart's gate I could hear her still, whilst I was opening the gate. It was the same stifled sort of scream still. When I opened the gate I merely said to the prisoner, " There is a little button, sir; allow me to open it." He made no reply. He appeared hurried in his manner and motions. He was agitated. He tried hurriedly to open the gate, •in an agitated manner. He went out first and went in. square, London.

I had the light in my hand: I held the candle over. I can say the pri,oner is the same man. By Baron PARKE—I had never until the afternoon of that day seen the prisoner. I chanced to go into Mrs. Hart's that day, about two o'clock, and she said to me, " 1 expect my old master down to-day, but, perhaps, he won't come till to• morrow." _ _ Mrs. Hart's door was shut when I got to it. I opened it. I am positive the prisoner is the man who passed me out. I opened the door and went in. I saw Mrs. Hart lying near the door, with her head not a great way from the door. Her dress was disordered. Her petticoats nearly up to her knees, and one of her stockings (the left) down and torn, and her left shoe off. Her cap was a little distance from her. She was making a noise, and her eyes were fixed. Her limbs were not moving. I took her hand and raised her, and said, " Oh, Mrs. Hart, what is the matter ?" She made no re ply. Froth came from the corners of her mouth. Her eyes being fixed I thought she was dying. I put down my candle and went into the landlady's (Mrs. Wheeler's) the last house of the row. When I first went in I saw on the table in Mrs. Hart's a bottle and a glass with some porter, little more than half full. There was a glass at each side of the table. In one glass there was porter (half full). There was only a little froth in the other. There was a chair beside where Mrs. Hart lay. Another chair was on the other side of the fire. Mr. KELLY thought all this very immaterial. Examination resumed—l returned with Mrs. Burrett, a relative of Mr;. Wheeler. We placed a pillow on the child's chair, and put Mrs. Hart's head on it. I saw one of the glasses used by Mrs. Buffett. She used the empty one to get some Water from a jug to give to Mrs. Hart. The jug was in Mrs. Hart's kitchen. She could not drink any. I said " Don't give her any, 'twill choke her." Mrs. Burrett rinsed the glass before putting the water in it. I sent one of Mrs. Burrett's apprentices for .Dr. Champneys. The de ceased's name was Sarah Hart. I saw no phial abeut as big as a thimble. We searched the whole house carefully for anything, thinking she had taken something that killed her. 1 found no very small phial at all. Before I went into Mrs. Hart's I saw the prisoner turn and look at me, and I locked the do,sr for fear. When I first found Mrs. Hart, she was breathing by fits, crying " Olt, oh, oh," convulsively, for three or four minutes after I got into her house. It was the same sort of noise I had heard before I went in There was no motion of her limbs that I saw. Generale., Paris. Charles Deraux, Esq., 62, King William-street, London. _ .

I returned to Mrs. Hart's directly after I sent for the doctor. There are gardens behind and before the house. I went by the back way. The gardens behind are longer than those in front ; about twice as long. It was the longer way, but we generally go that way. When I got back a second time to Mrs. Hart's, Dr. Champneys was in the act of bleeding her. I fancied at the time I poured the water down her throat that it made her foam. By Mr. Baron PARKE—I saw no foam until I had tried to pour the water down. John Kendall—l am waiter at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, Cornhill. Mr. Tawell, the prisoner, is a subscriber to our house. It is a subscription coffee-house. On Wednesday, the Ist of January, lie came to our house about three o'clock, and asked me what time we closed the house at night. I said eight o'clock, and asked him " why ?" He Said he could not get back till half-past nine, as he was going to the West-end. lie had a great coat and a parcel, which he wanted to leave. He said he should call for them, and I made an arrangement that he should have them at half-past nine. I saw him again between half-past nine and a quarter to ten. He called for the coat and parcel, and took them, but left his umbrella with me. I did not see him next day. Henry Gratten-1 am one of the clerks at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway. On the Ist January I gave a ticket for the four o'clock train down to Slough to the prisoner. He returned again by the half-past eight o'clock train from Slough. George Lewis—l am a post-boy at Salt-hill. I know the prisoner these two years or thereabouts, coming down that way. I saw him on the Ist of January, at seven o'clock in the evening, at the Windmill. I was standing at the door, and he was running towards Slough from the direction of Bath-place. There was light from the house lamp. I have no doubt about his being the man. I said, " How are you, Sir?" He turned his bead, but made no answer. I saw his face clearly then. Robert Roberts—l am an innkeeper at Eton. I went from London to Slough on the Ist of .ianuary. I got there at teat minutes past seven o'clock. There was an omnibus which I went by. The prisoner came up and asked, was .the driver going to Eton._ He replied, "Yes." The prisoner got in and sat next me. The driver asked, " Where shall I put you down, Sir?" The prisoner replied, " Put me down at Sir John Herschell's house." The driver said, "That is a long way this side of Eton, Sir." The prisoner said, '• Put me down there." Charles Wilmot, the guard, confirmed this evidence. Ephraim Weymouth—l am a plasterer, and live in the New-road, Marylebone, London. On the Ist of January I was at Slough. Saw a railway omnibus. A person got down at Herschel!. house. I was standing on the steps. I had rang the bel. I rang a second and a third time. The man stood for a while after getting out of the omnibus, and then followed t he same way the omnibus went. Henry John Howell—l am superintendent of the railway at Slough. I remember on the evening of the Ist of January the prisoner came to me and asked the way to the train. did not serve him with the ticket. It was forty minutes past seven. I saw him go off by the train. A person coming from Bath-place would be turning his face to the rcilway if he got into an omnibus going to Eton.

Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Clab-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large 'establishments. Upwards of 20,010,000 cubic feet of gas have .passed through • some of these meters without regula tion or repair, aid which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas•company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry 'deter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect fmitationS, it Is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post), free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London, Wairorted to bop correct la till weather Cross examined by Mr. KELLY—Mr. Champneys, the surgeon, is my cousin. I went down in a pony carriage to the railway station, in consequence of what I had been told. The prisoner entered the carriage immediately the whistle 'was blown. ___ Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY, Q.C.—I never saw the prisoner before that day. I think it was near 'Ave o'clock when I saw him first go in. Mrs. Hart had not been out. I saw her washing at two o'clock, and she did not go out afterwards, I think. It was about six when I saw Tawell going out. I think it was then past the half hour, and nearer seven o'clock. I remained in Mrs. Hart's house after I found her, and before I went for help, not many seconds. The apprentice was sent for the surgeon directly, by Mrs. Barrett, after she saw Mrs. Hart. The apprentice's name is Lovegrove. She is not hero. The doctor's is about a quarter of a mile from the house of Mrs. Hart. Dr. Champneys arrived in a few minutes. I cannot say how soon I heard Mrs. Hart speak before the stifled meaning. I heard her voice in a rather loud tone; but only a few words—not for many minutes. I did not think they were quarrelling about money matters. There was not enough said for me to think so. There were only a few words. I thought she might've in hysterics, merely because I knew she was in distress about money matters. She was not hysterical. She was not passionate that I ever saw. I have never said that she was subject to violent fits of passion.. I never knew or heard from her that she and Mr. Tawell bad had differences about the children. I heard her say she had been advised to put the children out to be taken care of ; that was all. It was some time, but not a great while, before I beard the screams that I heard the high voice. I did not think they were quarrelling, because I heard no voice but Mrs. Hart's own. It is not true that I ever said they were first quarrelling about money matters before I heard the scream. The screams were repeated se veral times before I went in. I did not address the remark about fearing that my neighbour was ill to any one, and. I cannot tell whether they first heard it. Mrs. hart's cap was . only about a foot from her, on the floor. When I first en tered the house I looked back and saw the prisoner looking at me. When I found Mrs. Hart made no reply to my in quiry, I left her and went for help. When Mr. Champneys came, he said he " should try the means, end bleed her.' Ile tried to do so. He first put his hand under her clothes, and felt her heart. I held a basin whilst Mr. Champneys bled her. A little blood came ; probably as much as would cover a plate, but I cannot tell how much. She was dead before she was bled. Mr. Champneys said she was gone. I believe she was dead before Mr. Champneys bled her. I always thought so. I never said anything else. I believed it at the time. I was examined on oath before the Coroner, and what I said was taken down in writing. I swear that I never be lieved that after she was bled she expired almost immediately. I knew that Mrs. Hart had received a present of a basket of apples about Christmas ; some of them were left at the time of her death. I saw some of them in a box shortly before. ' There may have been about a peck. Mrs. Hart had not been out. anywhere, either to London or 'elsewhere, from October. She could not go out in consequence of leaving her two children alone. I do not know of her going out that evening after Mr. Tawell had arrived. Re-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—The whole affair before my discovering the, state of Ks. Hart, from the time I heard the stifled screams, was not above a minute. Mr. Champneys arrived very soon afterwards. I saw ten or eleven of those apples alluded to after the deceased's death. There may have been twenty or two dozen when I first saw them about a fortnight before Mrs. Hart's death. Catherine Whiter, examined by Sergeant BYLES—I am barmaid at the Windmill, at Salt-hill. I knew Sarah Hart. She came to our house on Wednesday, the first day of this year, about half-past six, for a bottle of Guiness's stout. She borrowed a corkscrew also. It was rather bent. This is the screw (produced), and this is the sort of bottle, with that sort of label on it. She stayed about ten minutes, and was.in conversation with me. Nothing was the matter with her at all. She was neither agitated nor ill. The bottle and screw were to have been returned in the morning. Cross-examined by Mr KELLY—It was half-past six when she came. I looked at the clock, and when she had been gone a few moments it wanted twenty minutes to seven. William Barlow—l am gardener to Mr. Stewart, at Salt hill. I met Sarah Hart between her house and the Wind mill on the evening of the let of January. She said to me, " Ah, Barlow, is it N ou ?" I said, " Why, Mrs. Hart, what are you running for , " She replied— Mr. KELLY objected. Mr. Sergeant BYLES contended for its admissibility. Mr. Baron Panes: ruled in favour of the objection, Witness—She appeared in good spirits—quite cheerful. She was going towards home. It was a quarter past six by my watch. I had looked at it before leaving my house, which was 250 yards from where I met her, and it was then thirteen minutes past six. Mrs. Barrett—l live in Bath-place, Salt-hill. I knew Sarah Hart. She had lived there one year and three quarters. I remember Mrs. Ashley coming to my house, near seven o'clock. I went with her to Sarah Hart's. I saw Mrs. Hart lying on the floor, breathing bard, and her eyes appearing fixed. I fetched some water from a large yellow jug, which stood full in the kitchen. I helped to put her head on the pillow. I fetched the jug. I put some of the water into one of the tumblers on the table, the one that had only froth in it. I rinsed it first, and threw the rinsing into the tire-place. I thought she was too far gone to drink. I put some of the water to her mouth, but I do not think she swallowed any. I applied some vinegar to her face, and sent a young person for Mr. Champneys. lie lives on the oppo site side of the road, about two hundred yards from Mrs. Hart's. -He bled-her-when he enme. - On the table I sires, besides the bottle and glasses, a part of the beer. I saw no money. I taw no phial about the sizs of a thimble. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY-31y cluck was lust upon seven when Mrs. Ashley came for me. My clock was about a quarter faq, I returned directly after I had given airs. William Williams. examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—I was, on the Ist of January,sergeant of police at the rail way station, Paddington. In consequence of information I received, I watched the up-train passengers, and saw the prisoner get out of a first-class 'carriage and get into a New-road omnibus. I got up behind, and acted as conductor. Witness repeated his evidence given before the Coroner, and how he arrested the prisoner at the Jerusalem Coffee-houge: William Wiggins—l am inspector of the metropolitan po lice. I went with the last witness, on the 2d of January, to the Jerusalem Coffee-house. I saw the prisoner there. I said, "Is your name Tawell ?" He said " Yes." I brought him out, and said, "You came from Slough by the railway last night." He said, "No ; I did not leave town all day yesterday." I then opened my coat to show my uniform, and said, " I want you on account of a woman you were with, who was found dead last night at Slough." He did not appear disturbed. He replied, " No, I don't know any one there." I said, " There's a woman found dead there, and you are supposed to be the last person that saw her alive." He said, "If it be, it must be a mistake in my iden tity ; my station in society places me above any suspicion." I took him down to Salt-hill, • where the coroner was then sitting. Samuel Perkins—l am an inspector of the Eaton po lice. On the 2d of January I went to Mts. Hart's house and got two or three papers. Some others were taken possession of by another officer. I took charge of the prisoner on the first day of the inquest. I took him to Eton to my own house. Mr. Williams, his counsel, saw him on the following day about one o'clock. The in quest was resumed on Saturday. After the interview with Mr. Williams, on Friday, the prisoner spoke to me, He said "This poor, unfortunate woman once lived in my service about two years and a half, or nearly so; perhaps you know that." I said I did not know it, but I had heard so. The other constable then came in, and the prisoner went on to sly that she had left his service about five years ago. The other constable told him that whatever he said would be reported to the coroner to-morrow. He said he did not mind that. He then said he had been in the habit of allowing her moray, and that she used to pester him, writing letters for money; that she had been a very good servant, but a very bad principled woman ; that she had written to him that if he did not send her some she would do something—she would make away with herself. He said he came down to her house and told her that he would noliallow her any more money. She then asked him if he would give her a drop of porter. He said he sent her for a bottle of stout, and he had a glass and she had a glass; that she held her hand over a glass, and said "I will, I will." She poured something into the glass out of a small phial, not much blgier than a thimble; that she drank a part, and the remainder was thrown into the fire. She then began to throw herself about as if in convulsions, and then lay down upon the hearth- rug. He then went out. He did not believe she was in earnest, or he would have called some person. The Court adjourned at three o'clock for a few minutes for refreshment; on resuming business, Thomas Holmes was called and examined by Mr. PRES DERGAsr—I am a constable at Farnham Royal. I took pos session of some things I got at Sarah Hart's house. There was a folio amongst other things in which I found this paper. I went out of the room in which the prisoner was for a short time on the Friday, and on my return he was conversing with Perkins. Mr. Williams, his counsel, had seen him on the Friday. I forgot which day it was that he saw his wife. When she was with him it was some time before she could speak. At length she said—" My dear, what have you been doing?" Ho said, "Nothing; but I hope you will forgive me." She made some reply, but that was all I heard.

When the prisoner was conversing with Perkins, and when I came in, the first thing I heard him say was about there being porter, and a battle and two glasses. I said nothing to the coroner about this. Mr. Champneys, examined by Sergeant BYLus—l am a surgeon at Salt-hill. I was sent for to attend Mrs.. Hart a few minutes before seven o'clock on the Ist -of January. I ran all the way. I saw Sarah Hart lying on the floor. I felt her pulse at the wrist. I was not certain there was any pulsation. I put my hand under her clothes to feel her heart, and I perceived at that moment a slight convulsion of the lower jaw. 'there was no pulsation of her heart. I considered her dead then. Nevertheless, I opened a vein in her arm. I did so not to leave the usual means untried. About an ounce of blood flowed. I still think that she was dead before I opened the vein. I saw the bottle, glasses, and beer on the table. I put them in the recess by the fire-place.: About nine o'clock the same evening I returned and took possession of them, and carried them all away home with me, and locked them up. On the following day I inspected the body, assisted by Mr. Norblad, Mr. Pickering, and another .surgeon. By direction of the coroner I afterwards made a post mortem examination. I dissected the body in the presence of Mr. Norblad and Mr. Pickering. I smelt the odour of prussic acid the moment I opened the body. I made a remark. I examined the heart. It was perfectly healthy. I examined the lungs. The lung itself was healthy, but the coverings had the remains of old inflammation, old standing adhesion. There was nothing to account for death in the lungs. The abdominal viscera were healthy. I examined the stomach. The internal surface had more mucus than usual. I removed the stomach and its contents for the purpose of analysis. I placed them in a bottle which I took home and kept until I took it to London next day (Friday, the 3d.) I went to London accompanied by Mr. Norblad, and Mr. Pickering oined us in London. 'We went to Mr. Cooper, whose son a lso is as present. Witness here related the mode in which the tests had been made by Mr. Cooper ; and added, prussic acid was found. During the experiment we found no smell of prussic acid. lam of opi nion the deceased died from the effects of prussic acid. I have no doubt about it. I saw Mr. Cooper after the ad journed inquest, between Saturday and Wednesday. I saw him on Sunday. Mr. Cooper analysed the porter in the bottle, in the glass, and the bun. No prussic acid was dis covered. They were not tested for any other poison. I went to Mr. Cooper again on the Bth of February. whoa I said I 'thought the deceased had been poisoned by prussic acid. 1 had not heard that the prisoner had purchased any. I know the strength of the prussic acid of the London Phar macopeia. Its strength is two per cent. to ninety-eight of water. Scheele's prussic acid contains five per cent. to ninety-five of water. I would begin with three drops of the s of pure drachms hydro cyanic o f o London Pharmacopeian acid as a dose. I mi g ht g ive four. Of the undiluted prussi c and p ure h y drocNanic acid less with six grains l' acid. When persons die' from prussic acid , there are ca ses on record where the smell is not discovered in the solution on ly o l a d taken conta in §COMSCII. I put some prussic acid in porter on the evening of th e Thursday. I put half a drachm in a tumbler, and the than Scheele'sa gra in cou l d tumbler was filled with Guinness's stout. The smell of the acid was then scarcely perceptible. Ido not think a person, after taking enough to cause death, would walk more than a few yards from the house. Cross-examined—l have been four years in practice. I never examined a person before who had died from prussic acid. My authority for the case I have cited, in which no odour was perceptible, is in Taylor. The body was examined thirty hours after death. 1 apprehend that in that case the contents of the stomach were tested by the smell. The odour may have passed into the blood after thirty hours. Mr. KEt.rx—Do you, Sir, really believe that enough prussic acid to cause death may be swallowed, diluted in por -ter or otherwisi., without !taring any odour from the mouth ? Witness—l should certainly always expect to find the odour, but I cannot cay that it would be impossible that it would be absent. Mr. li.Eur--Did you not boil down tho contents of the . stomach? SALMON FISHING.—The present being the 10th of March, our river opened for net and coble, agreeably to Act of Parliament ; and though the active tenant, Mr. Welsh, had only a half-day's work when we saw bim, he was not without a portion of good luck.

Burn trout were also caught in considerable numbers, which sell readily at 4d. per lb. About fifty liggers were taken in all, and returned to the pools, until they have time to recruit their health by a run to the Solway. Two salmon were taken with the rod this afternoon below the Dock, one of which at least was clean.—flumfries Courier. SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS. - 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. General Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70 years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs. S. and B.

Major-General Sir Howard Elphinstone begs to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B.

To prevent mistakes, Ol cautious and observe—only to be had at 39, Albe• marle-street, Piccadilly opposite the York Hotel, r. Baron PAnKE decided that Sergeant Byles should resume the direct. examination. Witness examined by Mr. Sergeant KYLES—The contents of the stomach were first exposed to evaporation. The re tort was placed in a sand bath, and the sulphate of iron was applied to the. distilled portion of what came off; and.the sulphate of potassum and muriatic acid were subsequently added, and the result was Prussian blue. The production of Prussian blue is considered an infallible test of the presence of hydrocyanic acid. Mr. Cooper then placed the retort in a water bath to obtain a lower temperature. The distillation was again tested. Mr. Cooper regulated the temperature by a thermometer. It would be impossible, in my opinion, to produce prussic acid from the decomposed contents of the stomach. Thenitrate of silver was applied to the second dis tillation, and cyanide of silver was the result deposited on the glass. All the tests for prussic acid produced it. Cross examination resumed by Mr. KELLl—Prussic acid s highly volatile, and of peculiar odour. Whilst it is vola- Iming, a strong odour perceptible to any one is emitted. The contents of Sarah Hart's stomach were exposed to a boiling heat of 212 for several minutes. During that time we all tried to catch the odour, without discovering it. I don't know that I ever saw prussic acid distilled before. There was no odour from the few drops of blood I drew from the daceased. I don't feel competent to say that epileptic patients would be more easily acted on by prussic acid than others not so afflicted. The case to which I have alluded, in which 7-10 the of a grain was fatal in Paris, was that of seven epileptic patients, to whom by mistake a dose containing 7-10ths of a grain was administered to each, and they all died, some within a few minutes, others after three-quarters of an hour. . , (A. debate here arose as to this case, it being reported dif ferently in different books. Mr. Baron Parke referred to the original book, in which it was found that one died within 15 minutes, and the rest at different periods to the last, who lived three-quarters of an hour.) Cross-examination resumed—The odour was, in some cases, found eight days after death. After the froth had subsided from the porter I poured on the drachm of . acid, I perceived the smell strongly. Hydrocyanic acid exists in many substances—in apples, and many fruits,, for in stance. I agree with Christison, who says, at page 756, that hydrocyanic acid is formed in numerous substances, where it was not previously supposed to exist. The prussic blue of commerce is obtained from the blood and horns of animals. The chief components of prussic acid are 62.12 carbon, 12 of nitrogen. and lof hydrogen. It is said to exist in the human saliva; but not. as pussic acid. It is called the sulph. cyanide. It exists as hydrocyanic in cherry stones and other fruit kernels. There was no smell at all during the teats of the deceased's stomach for the other poisons, and we then came to the conclusion that there must be prussic acid. The process through which the stomach and contents were then put would produce prussic acid from apple pips or other fruit kernels. When we obtained the prussic acid it had no smell. Down to the last experiment, in which we obtained a certain large quantity of pi ussic acid, I perceived no smell at all, after the firSt odour I perceived on opening the body. We did not burn any of the substances produced. By Mr. Baron PARKE—We did not try to burn the cyanide of silver. Cross-examination continued—The first thing I did when called in to Sarah hart was to feel her lathe. I thought at first I perceived a slight pulsation—a throb or two; but now I imagine I did net feel any. When I put my hand upon the region of the heart there was no pulsation at all. I felt satisfied the deceased was dead when I tried to bled her. I thought it better to do so, as one of the usual means, merely in order to leave no means untried, as in cases of con gestion of the head. Mr. KELLY—Do you mean to say that you did not open the vein for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of death ? IVitness—l may have tried to see whether the blood con tained anything to account for death, and I wished to satisfy the persons present that nothing was left undone. I took out the contents of the stomach eighteen hours after death. The vessel into which I put them was perfectly clean. It was a broad mouthed pickle bottle. I did not wash it out, but I held it up, and locked through it, and saw it was clean and quite clear. That is the bottle (produced). The witness was re-examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES, at very considerable length, upon the subject of the quallties, &c., of prussic acid, and with regard to the cases of the seven epileptic patients in Paris. Th c Court adjourned at saven o'clock, till Thursday at nine. AYLESBURY, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. • (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) The Court resumed this morning at a few minutes before nine o'clock. The entrance to the Court-house was crowded - to a dense degree, and it was with considerable difficulty an entrance could be effected. The prisoner when placed in the dock seemed particularly nervous. He paid maiked attention to the evidence, and particularly to the cross-examination cf the witnesses by Mr. Fitzroy Kelly. Mr. Cooper, the chemist of London, was the first witness called, and he was examined at considerable length by Mr. Sergeant Bylee, with reference to his experiments on the contents of the deceased's stomach, which had been sub mited to him in order to test the existence of poison. He found in the stomach of deceased the pips of some apples. He discovered in the seeds of those apples a quantity of prussic acid. He did not think that any balance could measure the quantity of the poison. There was just as much as would colour the bottom of the phial. To the best of his ability the bottle originally contained more than a grain of prussic acid (the bottle con tained the contents of.. the stomach). . The quantity was a grain at the time'llf -the second examination of the bottle—there might have been more at first. The pro bability was, that it would be so. The bottle was tested for the second time on the Bth of February, about four weeks after the first. He was not enabled to say how much prussic acid had been originally introduced into the stomach before the contents were removed. A variety of circum stances might tend to decrease this quantity, as absorption by the system, &c. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—He had never before that time examined the contents of the human stomach where a person had been killed, or where prussic acid had been taken. He had had a good deal of experience of the chemical proper ties of prussic acid. It had a peculiar smell, whether in its strongest state as concentrated acid, or in its weakest form. It affected the back of the throat in a peculiar manner. He had met it more frequently in a diluted form, when combined with water, than in its concentrated state. Ile had no per, sonal experience of the quantity that would kill. His know ledge was drawn from books. Baron PARKE—The least quantity that would kill was that he thought mentioned yesterday in the case in the French hospital. By Mr. KELLY—He began his investigation with the view of ascertaining the presence of oxalic acid. When he tested the contents of the stomach he took various portions for the purpose of discovering the presence of various - poisons. The witness then detailed his mode of testing it.) He did not discover the smell of prussic acid en first testing the con tents of the stomach. The smell of beer was the most pre dominant. 'When his experiments had failed to discover the other forms of poison, he directed all his skill to discover the existence of prussic acid. On the second examination, on the Bth of February, he took a great deal more care than on the previous examination. This was a test of quantity, not of quality. The quantity actually obtained was one grain and forty-three huildredtbs of a grain of prussic acid. One hundred and thirty. six grains of cyanite of silver was equivalent to twenty-seven grains of hydrocyanic acid. The stomach of deceased contained some undigested flesh, the apples he had already mentioned, and a pulpy mass, of which he could make nothing. He did not see the apple pips, but knowing that that tribe would yield prussic acid, lie after wards tested them. He was not aware that sweet almonds would yield prussic acid ; the bitter almond certainly would. He made an experiment, on two separate occasions, on different kinds of apples, and ex tracted a little prussic acid from both. The test was simply placing the pips in a retort with water, and distilling it. lie then added to the distilled liquor a little sulphate of iron, and the contents of the other phial on the table was the result. Ile did not think it necessary to crush the pips; the distillation was the only test. He thought that no substance contained pure prussic acid. Mr. KELLY—How do you reconcile that with your former statement respecting bitter almonds? Witness— His opinion was that prussic acid was so extremely volatile, that if it existed in a free state it must be cents- Eually evaporating, and it could not therefore exist unless combined with some other substances. Animal substances contained prussic acid. He would not say that it was likely to be produced by a change in organic matter. As far as he was aware of, he was himself the first discoverer of prussic acid in apple-pips. He was not aware that if apple-pips were macerated, that they would Yield more hydrocyanic acid. Mr. KELLY quoted from "Taylor on P . oisons," to-the effect that the odour of prussic acid was present when the poison itself was not existent. Did Mr. Cooper agree in that opinion ? Witness—l do not. By Mr. Byrass—Before the trial he communicated to the prisoner's solicitor what his evidence would be. By Mr. Baron PARKE—After all the experiments he had made, lie had no doubt of the presence of prussic acid in the stomach. The absence of smell might be accounted for by its dilution, or by its odour being covered by that of other substances. It did net follow that - the prussic acid should be in the form of salt. He had never stated that it was in the form of salt. In his opinion it could not exist in the stomach as a cyanite of potassium, where another and more powerful acid, as muri atic acid, was present in the stomach in considerable quan tities. He was not of opinion that prussic acid could be formed in the contents of the stomach by putrefaction. Joseph Cooper, jun., was son of last witness, and had been his assistant for four years. He smelt the prosaic acid in the course of these experiments at the time his father did. Charlotte Howard—Was servant with Mrs. Gilbert at Streatham. She was at Salt-hill on the 26th December, 1843, and became acquainted with deceased. Witness was in the family-way, and had a child at her house. Daring the time she remained there (four months) Tawell came there twice. At the end of September in the following year she was there to see herchild, and Mr. Tawell came there. Mrs. Hart let him in. She did not see him. She knew his voice. He remained about ten minutes. She was told by Mrs. Hart to go and get a bottle of stout. She brought it and Mrs. Hart afterwards came out of the room and told her to go for a sheet of paper. She went and returned with the sheet of paper. Mrs. Hart was then in the back room and Mr. Tawell was in the front room. She went then into the room where he was. He went away in about a quarter of an hour afterwards. She saw Mrs. Hart again soon afterwards. She was very ill, and said, " Oh, I'm so ill. I was obliged to tell my m aster to go, for I can scarce stand." She looked v ery pale and sick. She looked dreadfully ill. She was very well all day before witness went for the paper. She retched very much, and went up stairs to bed. She retched there very much. She said "she had drank only a little glass of porter and it made her very sick." Witness then went to in below and found 13 sovereigns, which she took care of. She saw on the table some of the porter s h had fetched ;it was not quite gone. She and the children drank the porter that was left in the bottle, and it did not injure them ix the least. She (Mrs. Hart) remained in bed and complained of her head. By Mr. KELLY--There were three children in the horse. two of Mrs. Hart's and witness's child. Mrs. Hart was not receiving medical advice at the time. Edward Weston Norblad, surgeon at Stroud.—He had practised for ten years. On Thursday, the 2d of January, he went with Mr. Chamfmeys to Mrs. Hart's house. He saw the body of the deceased there. He had heard the evi dence of Mr. Champneys, and he would infer the existence of poison if death had suddenly followed the matter taken into the stomach. He would attribute the very sudden death of this person to one of two poisons—either prussic acid or oxalic acid. He was present at the two first examinations of the contents of the stomach. Mr. Cooper had correctly stated the tests he had applied, and he (witness) agreed with him in the inference he drew there from. Oxalic acid must have been detected if it contained that acid. lie had no doubt that prussic acid was in the stomach, and he attributed the death of deceased to that cause. Ile had heard the accutuit of the last witness of what took place in October, and the spiptoins were such as would be on the whole of the annual creation.

Hs had administered to two dolts, some hours after feeding them--to one of them beer containing - half an ounce of Scheelea, and to the other one drachm of prude acid.
