that of the son, Dr. Calabar, the ease for the proeecu.

said would not be available for them that day. He ho-
llered that the prisoner also made • statement, and it
wend be a question foe his lordship to dodder bowler
that could be brought against bite on the present mes-
siest The learned gentleman then went so to detail the
evidences, and to comment on what be deemed the soot
suspicious points. The evidence of Amanda Colmar
would prove that the dunned cline at tea o'clock on
Monday morning, that she asked for tbe priooner, that
she lined there for him to prescribe for her,
that she complained of what she termed a liver
complaint. What she really did suffer from it was
difficult for them now to say, but aecoording to
this witoess, ohs had been taking medicine for procuring
abortion. Miss Colmar would also tell them that at
halt-pest one, on Saturday sinuous, such an event
did oocur, that she was better at Ave o'clock, sod yet
at two o'clock the nest morning she died. But be
should call medical evidence to prove that the raptors
could not have taken plea. balfmn-hour before
death mourned. There was also another fan this
witness spoke to, and that was, that her father was in
the habit of receiving patients into his house, both
young wen sad young women, bet for whet ponces he
must leave the jury to draw their own inference. Dr.
Conner, in his evidence before the jury, stated that he
killed the women by external preoure ; but he should
bring the best medical 'widows he could get on that
subject, and they would Ind that such • thing less
impoisible. Subsequently a post-stortem exandeation
was made, and the medical gentlemen present, all (ex •
con Dr. Conner, of course,) were agreed thet the
rupture could not possibly have been calmed but by
mechanical fore.. Of mourn, as be bad slid, the evi-
dence. Ins all of a cireolinstutial nature ; but it was so
clear and positive that he thought the jury would have
bat little difficulty in ling on the sena nee the pile
If, however, they had a doubt on their aikido, as his
lordship would undoubtedly direct them, it would be
for them to give sun doubt to the prisoner's boat.—
His lordship said that this was not a case for inference,
bat fact, millet Mr. Cole had other evidence to adduce
besides what lo had alined to In his opening remarke,
he would pet it to hi.. whether It would be worth
while to go on with the ease? He had himself looked
very closely through the depoliticise and be could not
see bow It would be possible to lx on the prisoner the
offence.— Mr. Cole said tbe ease was such • bad one that
be thought that a full Inquiry ought to be instituted.—
His Lordship: Well, take your own sours.% it

produced after the ampule on of the foetus, by interoel

been dons by mecliumal means- not by thy
woman herself. To Kai. rapture I attribute the
clause of death. In the state I saw the womb it wee
possible for • luand to pew. By violence being
used, the sir would enter more freely and decom-
position ensue.-At this stage of the proceed-
ings his lordship interposed. He asked if Mr.
Cole was prepared with other evidence to bring
the ease home to the prisouer, and prove that
be caused the rupture. Hitherto they were going
all upon surmise. They assumed be was guilty
of this and thia, but where wan the proof? He really
could not see any; and if they continued all dsy, if they
got no farther theta they were at preeent, be must
direct the jury to return • verdict of acquittal. -Mr.
Cole said he had only sasumptive evidence. It was
seamed that the prisoner ruptured the womb by re-
movingthe efter-birth. The Jodie : that is not according
to your evidence. The after-birth I. said to hue iTh.
wd
at the time the prisoner au at Derebester.-Mr.
Cole said that there was • second indictment, and urged
that it ehoold he gone into now that the other bad
failed.-His lordship inked if it was worth while to pro-
ceed with it. However he would throw no impediment
in the wry of the prosecution. It was most improper
for the prisoner to have young women in the Moue, and
' acts should be thoroughly investigated. If the
pre mutton thought there was sufficient evidence to
omelet, by all means let the case proca el.-Mr. Cole
said if th. y did proceed, it wee requi-ite that the
evidence should be to the effect that, the Midi would be
likely to lier.-Ifis lorelehip : The word• of the Act
are " If any woman shall be delivered of a child, every

recent decision, Justice Brie had laid it down that the

and this meld not be prs.erved under six or seven

organs, it must be deemed child.- r. Maks said be
would proceed with the seas.-Mr. Prideaux, hoped hie
lordship, Kter the ruling of Judie* Erie, would take •
minutiae the case for further argument. His lordship
consented. -Upon thia mooed thecae, that of eenceal meat
el berth. defecidast pleaded not guilty.-Mr. Fluke then
opened the eau briefiy to the jury, and called Dr.
Cololor. -His lordship asked why he did not cell Amanda
Colour, as she was the only evidence who could speak
positively se to the fact. Dr. Colour, however, was
examined, but much of the evidence nu unfit for pub-
lication.-Dr. Wybraat as. neat called to produce the
evideue given by the defendant before the inquest.-
Mr. hideout pat it to the judge whether the evidence
maid he received against himself His lordship replied
be theoght it might, but would reserve the point fear a
Court of Criminal Appeal to decide in the event of an
adverse verdict being given. -The only other evidence
given was that of Dr. Garland, who in his creas-e:-
autination said be had refused to meet Dr. Colmer, In
consequence of the oath he had taken to uphold the
honour of the medical profusion. Dr. Wiser con-
sulted with his father a. to the treatment of oases, and
of course he could not, in supporting the dignity of the
professioe, meet one who unsuited with unerrtifiested
praetitiouers.-Mr. Prideux then addressed the jury
for the defense and left it to them to my, after what
they bed seen and beard in Court that day-when they
saw how it had been determined to premed in opposi-
tion to the recommendation and advice of his lordship,
whether the cue was not one of persecution rather than
prosecution. Having addremed himself to the facts of
the men, be felt quite satisfied that he might irately
leave the ease in their bands, seeing that the foitns,
a thing three inches long, could not by possibility be
considered anything but an abortion, and that the psi
goner had not done more than any of them, if they
were husbands, and their wives had bun unfortunate,
would have done His lordship then called Amanda
Colmar, who again repeated that the foetus wee about
the length of her fore-Anger, or not quite so long. His
lordship then summed up to the jury He odd that
notwithstanding the ruling of Mr. Justice Coleridge,
that what the prisoner had destroyed was a child, and
he saw no reason why it should not be an likely to live
as to die, and that, therefore, if they were of opinion
that the child had been secretly disposed of, he could
not but think that the Act of Parliament had been in-
fringed, and the prieoner guilty of the charge imputed
to him. However, that would be a eubject for criminal
appeal in the event of their giving a decision wirer.e
to the prisoner. There must be • secret disposition of
the body, and there could be Co doubt that the burning
of a body was • secret diepoeition of it. This enact-
ment was pawed for the "armee of protecting the lives
of their el ildren from the temptation which often pre-
sented itself to young women to dispose of their off-
spring to prevent diagram. The duty of the jury there-
fore was to consider what was the object of the pri-
soner in burning the child-was it to come.] the birth
-to prevent the world knowing anything of what bad
taken place? for, unless they were of opinion that
ineh was his object, they mutt return a verdict of not
guilty. If he burnt that child oonceieing that it
would never opine to maturity, if they believed he was
actuated by that motive thereby endeavouring to conceal
it, he was not guilty of this offence. The ciroumstame+
of this case were peculiar. Tbe young person went to
the prisoner's boobs on the Monday to penult bin: In
all probability he VIVO her medicine. She remained
during the week, and cm Elseday morning she died of a
rupture of the womb. The cense of the rupture would
never be satisfactorily a:platelet to them. On the Satur-
day the chill was born, and Kiss Colnier placed it in
the Mein. The reason the deceased went there he need
not tell them. It did seem idle to sopping that she
remained there • whole week without his exigent. He
thought they might fairly sesame that she was there
with his consent -a thing that was very improper
of any medical run, anel especially of any non-professional
medieal man-without communicating with her
friend'. The prisoner. in his evidence before the coroner.
said :-" The deceased told me that she bad miseerried;
that the child was three inches I os. It is a mystery
to me why she stopped in my house front Monday to
ituriday. I burnt the child at a quarter toll o'clock.'"
If that earl the eau, the child was burnt two or three
hours before the young woman died. These were the
eircomstuore, so far as the evidence, and if the jury
believed that the object eras to coneesl the birth,
to bide the shame of the young woman, they would
return a verdict of guilty. The jury, without • minute's
lueitation, retuned • weeding of "not guilty." His
lordship ordered his immediate climb/use. We should
remark that Mr. Wastes, of Dorehester, instructed
counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Fear. of Sherberne,
for the defense. On the arrival of Mr. Colmar at
Yeovil at LSI, there were mores of peruse on the pla-
tens to meet him. Many °beers were given, and the
bones of a carriage that wee in welting for him, were
auharesseed, and the earrings drawn through the
town by hand, amidst the shouts of hundreds of
