ivjjE STOURBRIDGE OBSERVER,

In answer to ME Gorst the witness said he was not aware
that "Youatt" did not prescribe tartar emetic for the
' hots."
answer to the jury the witness said: If a man had come
ith Bridges for the-ptirchase of 2oz. of tartar emetic I
should have made further inquiries before I sold it. If he
had brought a note from a medical man I should let him
have it. I should have asked him where he came from and
what he wanted it for. Ido not remember the note the man
brought.
Mr. Serjeant Parry objected to the quettion about "the
note," from its assuming that the note had come—as the
witness Clarke (the employer of the present witness at the
time the latter was at Great Malvern) had only said he
"believed" there was a note.
Mr. Gerd read the shorthand notes showir g that Mr. Clark
in his evidence stated that he laboured under the impression
that 'le had had in his hand a letter written upon half a
sheetA of notepaper received from Dr. Gully requesting that
the 2cz of emetic tartar should be sold to the man Griffith,
and that Mr. Clark had looked for this on seeieg the entry of
the trio ounces on opening the boek to illustrate the Sale of
Poisons Act to a customer.
Charles Reynolds Maddox, examined by the Coroner,
depesed : I am an assistant to Mr. Smith, chemist, of
Balham. I have been his assistant feris little over two
years. I know that man George Griffith (the late coachman
to Dr. Gully and Mrs. Ricardo) He has been to the shop. I
never sold him any emetic tartar. I have been Mr. Smith's
only assistant with the exception of a person named Kimber,
who was there for four weeks last autumn. I produce the
prescriptions of Dr. Gully for Mrs. Ricardo. They commence
on the 28th May, 1874, and they extend to the 24th of
December. 1874 They are all we have of the prescriptions
of Dr. Gully. (Me book of the prescriptions was put in.)
Another reference was made to the evideuce of Mr. Clark,
the chemist of Great Malvern, to allow that that witness
expressed himself confident that he had seen a note from Dr.
Gully askiug that the man Griffiths might be served with the
two ounces of 'tar tar emetic, and the Foreman called the at-
tention of Serjeant Parry to the short-hand notes on this

The witness Griffith, who had been sent with an officer to
Herne-bay to fetch the book on faerirry ("The Pocket
Farrier ") was again placed before the Court. He produced
the book so-named and another book on the same subject,
and on being asked to show the part where he had got his
information from as to the use of antimony in the form of
emetic tartar, he said he "learnt how to do it there."

Mr. Set j ,ant Parrysthen interposed, tnd looking through
the book (which is a small volume), under the head of anti-
mony read,—" Emetic tartar or tartartz,d autimony.—lhis
Is a violent emetic in the human subject, even in the quantity
of One or two grains. In the horse it is a very sit,e medicine,
and extremely useful for fevers." Ile read also dissertations
upon the treatment of horse diseases, speaking about tha
grains, scruples, and drachms of medicine to be given in
cases.

In the other hook produced by the witness Mr. Gorst read
out that emetic tartar wan alao prescribed, and this boJk,
the wit nesn said, he had taken in in numb-re.
Mr Gorst anted the witness : Do you still adhere to your
statement that you bought quarter ot ounces ot antirm ny
(emetic tnr.ar) at the shop ot Mr. Smith, of ki,dham, and ot
Air. Robinson, of Streatham, you having Leard their
evidence . .

_
The Witness: Well, I went there to buy it, but wheth(r
they gave it to me or not I cannot say. I used it at Balhatn
as a lotion.

...............,...
Mr. Gout : Is it recommended in the books to be used as a
lotion? - - - -

Witness: I don't know that it was so recommended to be
used like that, but I used it as an ointment.
Serj.ant Parry read in "The Pocket Farrier," "Thomas
Griffith, his ho k, 1854," and at the end "U. Griffith, the
Priory, Great Malvern, March 20, 1869" The witness said
that the Thomas Griffith was hie malt'', and the date to his
own name was the date upon which he received the book.
Mr. Lewis then asked the witness,—Whn gave you the
character to enter Lady Prescott's service ?—Witness: Dr.
Gully.
The Foreman: Did he give you a personal character ?
Witness : Yes.

Mr Lewis : Do you mean to say that he gave you a persona
character 7—Witness : Well, MIA. Cox wiZte a letter in Mrs.
Bravo's nam recomruending me, and Lady Prescott desired
to have a personal cuaracter, so Dr. Gully, I think, went to
lee her,
Mr. Lewis: You went to Dr. Gully's house to dinner last
Sunday week—since this inquiry commenced —Witness.: Yes,
I did. I was staying in London at the time. Whet made
me go down 7—Because I knew the butler. I went down of
my own accord to see Mr. Pritchard. I got down there at
one o'clock on the Sunday. I saw there Mr. Pritchard
(the buthr), his wile, two servants, and a young man the
sou brought in to tea. I don't believe there was anyone
else. Ibis case was not discussed. Never mentioned. On,
yes, it was, Mr. Pritchard said it was a sad case, and we
only mentioned it as fellow-servants. My possession of the
tartar emetic was not.discussed—not spoken of at all. Ido
not remember that the death of Mr. Bravo by tartar emetic
was spoken of at all. The gardener of the Priory was not
there—l saw him on •• the common' when I walked out in
tt e afternoon. I made no statement anywhere, or in any
office.

In answer to Mr. Serjeant Parry, the witness said: I
wrote Sn this book (" the Pocket Farrier"), "The Priory,
Great Malvern, March 20, 1869." I have looked at that
part iii which tartar emetic is mentioned. (the learned
counsel read other parts as to the Retell' of tartaric field,
and eras told that this was not emetic, tartar,) The witness
added.—l used the tartar emetic with a mash. I had seen
it used in other stables with other things for horses.
, Mr. Serjeaut Parry pointed out that the use of tartar
emetic for horses wits also recommended in the "Artillerist's
-Manual," tend then asked of the witness questions which
el cited the following answers :—Tae "bot " is a small crea-
lure, not a worm; and I have found that the tartar emetic
got rid of these hots and cured the horse. I don't kiiow that
Mrs. Ricardo came to Great Malvern in 1870 before this 2oz
of tartar emetic was bought.
By lair. Gorst : I used to give a dose of the powder, as much
as would stand on a threepenny-piece, in a mash. I was
recommended to use this for tne hots by Clement Baldwin
ten years before I used it. I did not use it elsewhere than in
Mrs. Ricardo and Dr. Gully's service. The reason is that at
other places they called in a veterinary surgeon
In answer to the jury witness said the book (" The Pocket
Farrier') was sent to me trorn my home when my rather
died. I don't remember when I got it. I don't rememeer
when my father died. I can't tell the year when my father
died I was in Radnorshire when he died, out of work I
got the book when I was in Dr. (1114 'a service, I don't bniw
where I was. I wrote 'George Griffith, Match 20, 1869," in
the book. I don't think Dr. Gully ever saw this bouiz. I
never showed it to him._ .. . . . .

George Griffith had signed his mime for the 2oz. of tartar

The examination by the jury was continued: No con-
versation went on at the dinner table on Sunday week at
Dr. Gale': about this case. As to how Pritchard came to
aay to me, "This is a sad case," that was after dinner.
In was in the afternoon that this was said. When I
saw the gardener on the common he "just mentioned"
the case, but what he said I don't know. This was not
the man who used to assist me; but the head gardener.
don'. recollect what was said either by him or by myself.
I went to Dr. Gully's at one o'clock last Sunday week,
and went to London about half-past six o'clock at night
I went out for an hour or an hour and a half, but I made no
call then. I don't recollect having bought any tartar emetic
before I bought the 2oz. of Mr. Clark, of Great Malvern, in
1869 (tlth of July) I knew about toe use of it before I had
tbat book. I don't recollect buy Jug any tartar emetic of a
groom, or of any perste'i except of a chemist.
Mr. Gorst geld it would only be fair to the witness; to say
that among the remedies for "hots," in one of the books,
"crude antimony" was recommended, but "prepared anti-
mony" was regarded as superior.
Mr. Serjeant Parry expressed himself as glad to hear this
statement, as it showed that theiCrown counsel desired to do
justicein every way,
Witness in further answer to the jury, said,—l still main
lain that f bought tartar emetic at the shop of Mr. Smith, of
Balham, and of Mr. Robinson of Streatham. I went there
first, but I don't know if they gave it to me or whether they
gave me something else. I don't remember weether I have
used it elsewhere.
The Jury then asked that Pritchard, the butler of Dr.
Gully, should be called at once, and Sergeant Broadleidge,
the summoning officer, was ordered to blitz him imme-
diately. He was brought into the Court.
John Pritchard deposed, in answer to the Coroner.--I

Gully from 1854 or 1855-1 don't recollect which year—

water, with a chaege of clotnes for Dr. Golly. I won't
s weer it was on that day I went. Dr. Gully is staying
with his daughter-in-law at Queemborougheerrace. I
thought Griffith was in town when I went. I don't know
hew I knew, I think he drcpped use a note. I am not
sure whether he Ld or not. I called in the evening.

knew he was on board wages. He left Balhain at six
olelecY on that Sunday. I don't think any stianger clime
AO the house that day. I don't believe Mr. Bravo's
'death, Mrs. Bravo's name, or this inquiry was spoken
of at all. I don't remember that either was. I had no
•reason for excluding one subject or the other from cnn-
versation. I went to the ttition with Griffith—nowhere
else. I did not go out for a walk with him on to the com-
mon. He went out. I did not. I saw him go out and
come back. He was alone when he came back. I won't
swear that the suhjet of this inquiry was sot mentioned,
but I don't believe it was. He cid not say he was to be
examined. I won't swear that I didn't say this was a "sad
ease." I heard of the illness and death of Mr. Bravo, and I
was sorry. I saw the under gardener on the Wednesday (the
19th of Apri), who told me of the illness. I did sae Mrs.
Cox on "the l'hursday " (the 21st of April) at Dr. Gully's
front door. It might have been the Wednesday or Thuredey.
I won't swear to the day. I cannot say what time of the day
It was—morning or evening. I think it was some time in the
morning.
Mr. Lewis: Did she enter the home?—Witness: Yes.
Mr. Lewis: Del you see her leave 2—Wttness : Yes.
Mr. Lewis: Was it before or alter breakfast that she
came 7—Witeess : I won't swear to the time she came.

Mr. Lewis: I want to aive Tod time to remeinber—try
and think what time It was when Mrs. Cox came.—Wit.
nets : I cainoot remember.

Mr. Lewis : How loog was she there ?--WitLess : Three
or tour minutes.

Mr. Lewis: Who was there in the home ?—.Witness: Dr.
Gully was there.

M. Lewis: Far whom did she ask ?—Witness: For Dr.
Gully. She said, "Is the doctor in, Pritchard ?" I said
"Yes." I was Lorry afterwards that I said yes, because I
had orders from the doctor never to let either Mrs. Cox or
Mrs. Bravo into the house. I said, "What do you want with
him ? ' She said--

Mr. Serpant Parry here drew attention to laughter which
some paisuns raised in the court at the witness saying that
had orders not to admit Aim Bravo or Mrs. Cox into the
house, and complained, too, that Mr. Gorst had smiled at the
same statement.

Mr Go:s; rejs;ined : I plead guilty to having smiled, but

is given which is amusing I shall smile, for I shall not
attempt to go through a caw with a wooden face.
The crowded audience having expressed agreement with
this answer,
Mr. Serjeant Parry rose and called attention to the un
seemly interruption.
• Tao Coroner threatened to have the court cleared if the
interruptions were conttnuad.
Mr. tierjeaut Parry : This is a case of a very unusual
character, in which two learned gentlemen of experience are
representing the Crown, and they are here in reality for the
iof fixing guilt upon three individuals,
L'itrdTlM lst they
can,lLoiily obj,et they have in conaleg here. All
their questions are directed to that object, and not as to
ascertaining what is the cause of this unfortunate yuting man's
death. I wish to point out the anomalous position of those
learned gentlemeu, that though no person is actually
itemised: yet their sole object is to fix the guilt upon tnree
persons.
Tee CAroner : The °hint of the inquiry is to investigate
the maulier and means by which tire gen.leman came by his
death,

Mr. G. Lewitt: I cannot help saying that this Is rather an
unjast observat.en on the psrt of Me. Serje slit Parry to
charge any thing of Mai; hind to Mr. a 'ref-. Mr. Gsrst has
acted most Imparoaliy on the part oh tie Crown, and has
faith brought out evidence telling in both waya by the quer-
Liens he bas put and his couduet of the case has Peen with
the ot.jact uf explaining the aetton of every person.
• Mr. Gorse: It the remarks which Mr. Sery,-ant Parry has
mis.e about the moCe In which I have couducted Ihtla
investigation he true, I have not properly carded out my
instructions. I am instructed to come here to do my
best to endeavour to lay before the coroner and jury all the
evidence which can throw any light on the death of this
unfortunate young man. I have not had the experienes of
my learned friends, and it may be that I have not properly
carried out my instructions, but I have done my beat to
bring before the Court all the evidence I can seoure, whether

for or against any person, and T have endeavoured to
elicit if the death could be attributed to suicide or inad-
vertence. To give you an opportunity ot Judging of my im-
partiality, I may say in the case Of the very last witness who
was under examination I pointed out a paragraph in the
hook which will Justify me in saying that tans °lnducting my
case impartially. Ido not suppose it will be pessible for me
to conduct my case in a manner pleasing to my learned
friends, but I shall carry it out to the best of my abili'y in
accordance with my instructions. I emphatically say azain
that these instructions are not to bring any charge against
any person.
The witness's examination then proceeded, and in answer
to Mr. Lewis he said: Mrs. Cox (at the door of Dr. Gully's
huller on the 20th or 21st of April) said to me, "Pritchard,
poor Mr. Bravo is dying." At that I let her in and put her
in the drawing-room. I said I was very sorry to I.ear it, and
I went in to the doctor and told him Mrs. Cox wanted to
see him. I told him, I think, whet she had said. I think
it is hkely I did. He said, "You shouldn't have let her
in Iritchard," and I said, "I thought she might have come
to ask you to go and see him." Ile said, "I suppose I rouit
See her." I showed her into the study. I did riot hear what
passed in thetronm. I didn't let her out, I eaw her go. I was
in the kitchen, and from the kitcheni saw h..r go toward:, the
Priory. I don't know what De Gaily did then. He didn't
leave the house, that I know. I don't keep note of what my
master does. Mytrupresslonts that Dr. Gully was at Brlham
for tee week before. Before that visit of airs. C3X I had only
seen her three times beta een October and then; but I had
not spoken to her. I had not seen Mrs. Cox to speak to her
from rhout November or October. Dr. Gully gave me orders
about not Remitting them from the time that they became—
well, I don't know what to call it, but I'll say, "they became
not so friendly." He didn't tell me the reason, but I knew
partly from their separating from what they were before.
He said Mrs Ricardo had behaved very badly to him. Pre-
viously they had come frequently—each of them—Mrs. Cox
and Mrs. Bravo, to Dr. Gully's house. I never heard Mrs.
Bravo cell him any name. She used sometimes
to call him some other name than Dr. Gully. I
don't knew what it is now. Ills name is James. I think she
used to call him some other name—not Jaynes. (Mr. Lewis
pressed the question.) I don't want to be "darned," and
can't say the name He used to call her " Flor, y "or " Flerence. d
Oh, ye,, I have been to the Priory many times, and have
"waited" there (waited at table). I have waited when Dr.
Gully has been there. I will not say I have been there when he
was not present. I was aware that there was a great attach-
ment between Dr. Gully and Mrs. Ricardo. He is about 16 or
67. lam aware that he had a latch-key to Mrs. Ricardo's
house, the Priory. I don't think 1 can remmiber the
name she called him. Dr. Gully is not in Prae.,tee I have
not gone witu prescriptions to chemists, I think, since we
have hems at Balham. If I have it has been to
Mn. Smith's only the chemist at Belhem) Mrs. Cox
used to call Dr. Gully by his n.dne, sted he called her Mrs.
Cox. I should think she knew about the attachment between
airs. Ricardo and Dr. Gully. I take in the letters at the
house of Dr. Gully since November, and I am aware of no
co aimunication between them since November I remember
the presents being exchanged—some coming to the house of
Dr. Gully from the Priory and sorce going from Dr Gully's
to the Priory I have seen Mr. Bravo, or some one I thought
to be him, p ,se the house of Dr. Gully. No one pointed him
out to me. I never saw him pass with Mrs Bravo. The
photograph shown is like Mr. Bravo—the gentleman I
thought to be him. I was at the gate when he once paned.
He took no notice of the house, and did not look up.
In reply to Mr. Sergeant Parry, witness said: I cannot say
when Mrs. Ricardo first ca ee to Great Malvern. Ido not
know that it was in May, 1870, and that in August, 1870,
Captain Ricardo came.
Mr. Lewis said these were about the dates.

The witness continued, in answer to Serjeant Parry :—lt
was ab mit November last that Dr. Gully bold me not to
admit either Mrs. Ricardo or Mrs. Cox, and, except Mrs.
Cox on this occasion, they have not been there. The doctor
once said to me, "It is a funny thing ; I have walked up and
down the road and have not set eyes on her." To my know-
ledge he has not been to the Priory. The key I have sp, ken
of was of the outer gate. The man can be produced who
made him the key. I know myself that the key was given,
for I gave it to Griffith, and next day I askid Mrs. Cox if she
had had the key, and she said she had received it.
In answer to Mr. Murphy, the witness said,—With the
exception of the visit in April, when Mr. Bravo was ill, I had
not seen Mrs Cox at the house of Dr. Gully. I could not.
tell you if it was at nine or ten in the miming. It was at the
time when anybody could see him. I knew that Dr. Gully
had been medical man to Mrs Bravo's family—that the
Cenipbells had been his patients for many years; and this
led me to admit airs Cox. Dr. Gully used to walk on the
common every morning, and any one could see him from the
Priory. I don't think that when Mr: Bravo went past the
house he looked at it.

la answer to Mr. G3rst, the witness said—Dr. Gully used
to sit in his study after breakfast, which he had about eight
or hal;-past eight. I believe it was in the morning that Mrs.
Cox °area. I think I had the portrait of Mr. Bravo given to
me bef:ire Mr. Bravo's marriage. I didn't talk to Griffith
about his being a witness; I didn't think of his being a wit-
ness any more than I thought I should he. The Canapbella
were old patients of Dr. Gully's.
In answer to the jury the wirness aid: I am not aware of
Dr. Gully meeting Alm Cox by appointment He has told
me that he met her once at the station. He did tell me he
had met her twice •it may have been three times—l don t
know whether by appointment oi• not I told him I thoeglit
it was very unwise for him to speak to her. I told him that
beoanse I thought he had done with her. I don't know what
lie said to this advice. I am only a servant. I told
him so because I had had quite enough trouble
before when he had to nu with thew, and I dieLnot want
nay master to be bothered any more with them.
I wns nbt in the house staying with Dr. Gully at
Mr Brook's, at Toot•ng, when Mrs Ricardo stopped there
(oetore she took the Leighant Court-road house) I heard of
no altercation thtre between a lady and 3lra. Ricardo about
Dr. Gully. Mrs. Ricardo and Dr. Gaily qua: &led frequently.
Dr. Gully frequently vi.ited Mrs. Ricardo's house at
Streatham. What Dr. Gully said in referenoe to the death
of Mr. Bravo was that it was a bad job, and that the last
Inquest was not satisfactory. Mrs. Cux had not been with
Mrs. Ricardo more than four or live years. I had never seen
her before, and I should not have been sorry if I had never
seen her.
The Ciurt then adjourned.

November before I heard °this: engagement. I never heard
Dr. Gully's nsms mentioned until after the funeral. I saw a
good deal of deceased after his marriage, and constantly
met him at Westminster. Ile never mentioned to me any-
thing at home which gave him any annoyance. lie once
said, "What a lot of clothes a woman wants when she is
going to be married; and that hampered us a bit, but I went
down to the City to see my stepfather, awl be generously
gave me a cheque for £500." That was after the marriage.
Ile often talked to me about investments.

By Mr. Murphy: I said to him on one occt.slon, speaking
of Mrs. Cox. "What a nuisance it must be, always hay.ng
a third person present." He said, "She is very quiet, and
never in the way." He always spoke of her as a most de-
serving woman, and that she educated her children well.
On the 11th of April we talked about many subjects. He
did not, I think, tell me that Mrs. Cox had same business in
JJ/IMICit, which necessitated her going out, and it would be
' a raving to his establishment; I don't remember his telling
me that she had receivect a letter, dated 23rd March, from
her aunt in Jsum!ce, requiring her preaence there. My int-
preatt:,l was three Mrs. Cox was going to leave him. I did
not gather tuere was any difference between them. I was
not aware that nearly the whole of the £2OO a tear of his
own went with reference to the Maidenhead establishment.
He eolu me that he had £5OO a year before lets mart i
Mr: Edward Carlisle Willoughby, a barrister, also an inti-
mate acquaintance of Mr. Bravo for six years, testified te the
cheerful disposition of the deceased, and wter the marriage
of Mr. Brat° witness never saw him depressed; quite the
contrary. He recommended witness to get married. Wit-
ness had formed a very strong opinion that Mr. Bravo was
not a likely person to commit suicide. On the Monday morn-
ing after the funeral witness called at the Detective Depart-
ment, Scotland-yard, and saw Colonel Labalumndiere.
The collet adjourned for luncheon.
Mrs. Anne Campbell was called. In reply to creations put
by Sir H. James, she said : I urn the wife of Mr. A. Campbell,
who resides at Buscot-park. We also have a town house in
Lowndes-square. My eldest daughter is Florence Brav ; I
have two other daughters. My eldest daughter Ives married
in 1864 to Captain Alexander Louis Ricardo. He was an
officer in the Grenadier Guards, and eon of Mr. Louis Ricardo,
well known in the political world. After their marriage my
daughter and her husband lived partly with Lady Catherine
Ricardo and partly in Norfo,k. Fer some years they lived
very happily togetner. In 1868 Captain Rieareo gave up his
heuse in Nortek, and at that time he became invelved
in pecuniary difficulties. I knew Lady Ricardo, who
died on the 6th of Decemeer, 1839 At that
time my daughter was staying at my eons house, Mr. A.
Campbell's, near Sudbury. Captain iticerdo hart been to
some shooting parties and had eau° to ray son's house near
Sudbury. 'Those visits took up some six or seven weeks, and
duringthat time Captain and Mrs. Ricardo were absent from
louden. I heard through Mrs. Ricardo of the death of Lee y
Ricardo ; I was at Butcot Captain and Mrs. R'cardo then
welit up to London After the death of Lady Ricaroo,
Captaiu and Mrs. Ricardo went to Beurnenroutte and I went
down to them. sty daughter then complained of her hus-
band's habit of drinking, ',rid I 0 bser ved his habit. This was
in the early part 1 1870. Alter leaving B iurnetuouth I
received let era from my daughter, tied I made a suggestion
about a visit to Malvern. I knew that when Captaaa
Rlcereio drank more than was advisable he was sometimes
violent towards his wife. For a time he separated from his
wife. In the first instance my daughter went to Malvern,
accompanied by two female servants. It was the end of
April, 1870, when my daughter went to Malvern. I saw
Captain Ricardo at St. James's Hotel, while Mrs. Ricardo
was at Malvern. He vas then unwell. My daughter applied
to Dr. Fernie at Malvern. At this time I had known Dr.
Gaily for several years as a professional attendant. When
Mrs. Ricardo was about 12 years of age she had been under
the care of Dr. Gully, and from that time until she went to
Malvern there was no commuuicitlon between them. Cap-
tain Ricardo rejoined his wife at Malvern, and followed the
system. He went to Malvern in May, 1870. Captain and
Mrs Ricardo placed themselves under Dr. Gaily's care for
medical treatment, and they took a furnished house
at Malvern. Alter he had been there a short time le
returned to his old ha its, left his wife, and came to Loudon.
I received a telegram from my daughter, and in course-
quence of that telegram I went to Malvern. That was in or
about June, 1870. 1. remained there three or feur days, and
then returned to Lowndee-square At that time Captain
Ricardo had a man servant named Field with him. Field
came to Lowndes-equare several times to make inquiries
-about Mrs. Ricarldo as from his master. Le censeqnenc.: of
what Meld told me I went to a house in Wigrnore-
street, and found Ceptain Ricardo living in lodgings
there. I found him in a state of intoxication, and I sent
for Dr. Qaain, his o!cl medical attendant. A few morn-
ings after that Captain Ricardo came to Lowrides-tqaare
about 7.30. He was somewhat violent, and was euff- ring irom
deltrtuin tremens. He had medical treatment ano recovered
from that attack. After that he went to Lady Ricardo's old
house in Chesger square with Mrs. Itioardo. She came up to
London with me while he was 11l in Wigmore-etreet. After
the mornlag attack he wes tsken to an oil servant's house
in Ebnry-etreet. He there became better, and after
that %cut with Mrs. Ricardo to Cilt,ter.-quare.
Soon after they paid a second visit to Malvern; that
was some time in August, 1870. they took a furnished
house. I went to Alalvcra for my daughter in /Cvember,
1570, and brought her hack with me to Buscot. Ha was
treating her. very til ;he had fallen into his old habits. My
daughter remained with me at Buecot until the early part
of February, 1871. Captain Ricardo was meanwhile some-
where about Laidon. When I went to Malvern in Novem-
ber, 1870, she had left him; I think she was afraid to
be in toe house with him, he was so violent. When
my daughter left Buscot in February, 1871, sbe went to
Mr. Brooes• house, the gentleman who is now her eeli-
citor. Mr. Brooks was then living at Streatham. AS
far as I knew nay daughter was not having any com-
munication with Captain Ricardo at this time. I run sure
she was not. Captain Rican.° died in April, 187,, at, Cologne,
and, as far as I know and believe, between November, 1870,
and the date of his death, Mrs. Ricardo did not see and had
no communication with C sptaue Ricardo. My daughter
lived at Mr. Smoke' house from nine months to a year. She
then took a house et Streateam, Sokefihd, iii Leigham-
vourt-road ; she then removed to tie 2riory, where
I think she has been living for two years. Dining this
time neither I, my husband, or family, saw anything
of my daughter. I had become aware of her fre-
quent visits to Dr. Gully, and of Dr. Gully's frequent
visits to her. That intimacy met with my entire disapproval.
I remonstrated with her ou the subject by writing, and it WAS
in consequence of the continuance of that acquaintance that
I held no cemmunicalion with my daughter. After the ac-
queintance with Dr. Golly I found that ehe drank more wine
tnau I approved of. I spoke Co her about it. I first noticed
this haft at 31 slvern, eut it was very slight then Such was
the condition of things when, in the autumn of last year, I
received a communicetion from me daughter That was some
time in November. That letter (produced) is in my daughter's
handwriting.

• Sir. H. James read the following letter :
"Ootober 30th, Priory, Balbain.
"My dearest F.ther,—Your kind And affectioisai e letter gva
me great pleasure last night, and 11,0 k forward with sincere
and heartfelt jay to meeting you all again. The past has been
a very sad one, buelt will be for ever blc.tted out and for•
gotten, and believe me when I say how much I regret ever
having caused you or any of my family pain with regard to
the last law sau years ot separation. With much iovd t 3
yourself, rnsmnia, and all at BusCot,—Ever your affectionate
child,—FLOTtEnCE RICARDO."

(Daring the reading of this letter Mrs. Campbell was moved
to rears.)
Witne.s : That letter reached my husband while I was
away. It was written in cousequeuce of a letter written by
my husband. I learnt at that time she was about to be
married to Mr. Bravo.
Sir U. James: This is one of the letters found by Mr.
Brocks in the chambers of Mr. Bravo after his death.

Witness: It was about the beginning of November I saw
my daughter. She told me that Mr. Bravo was a barrister.
Mr. Campbell made inquiries abort.; him, and the result
was satisfactory. The estrangement between my daughter
sad my family was terminated. and she was recaved in the
same affectionate manner by all of us. She wrote to me
about Dr. Gully's visits, and promised to giva them up
entirely. I thought she was very much attached to Mr.
Bravo. I first saw him about the Bth or 10th of Nevernber.
He came with me daughter to my sister's, win re 1 wa.3
staying. I asked my daughter it she hi informed Mr.
Bravo of her acquaintanceship with D-. Gully, and
she said she hart. Ms own view was that the ineimacy
between tey daughter and Dr. Gully was not a criminal
one, but I thought she entertained an extraordinary hi-
fetuation. I spoke to Mr. Bravo about Dr Gully at my
first interview, and my sister, Mrs. Thomas C ampbell, was
present. I said "1 learn from my dauehter that she
has told you all the circumstances of the last few
years of her life, which has been the cause of her
estrangement with her family." He said " Flereuce
bas told me everything. I am quite satisfied." I
urged upon him the necessity of telling his father and
mother, so that there should be no recrimination nor
unpleasantness afterwards. He replied to that, "Sooner
than do that I would leave the country, and you sheilld
never see me again." I said," You are old enoueh to judge
for yourselves. If you will not tell her yourself will ee.a let
Mrs. Cox tell her?' Ile distinctly refused, as he old also
when Mrs. Thai. Campbell pressed him to tell hia mother.
After these rerusels I said to him, "Mr. Bravo, you will
marry my daughter knowing everything." "He said, "We
are both old enough to judge for ourselves ; I will never
mention Dr. Gully again." He said Mrs. Ricardo had be-
haved nobly in telling him everything, and he was perfectly
satisfied. I merle another appeal to him to tell his mother,
and I told him he would be much happier it he did an, but
he again refused His manner during this conversation was
very excited, and he appeared to become almost angry. He
spoke very plainly 811(i firmly. I afterwards spoke to Mrs.
Cox again on the subject, arid I beeged her to use her influ-
enee with Mr. Bravo Co induce him to communi.iate these
facts about Dr. Gully to his mother. Mrs. ta.,x came over from
the Priory with Mrs. Ricardo and Mr. Bravo to Bouillon,
where I was staying. Mrs. Cox after warms told me she had
done all she could to induce Mr. Bravo to male a com-
munication to his mother, but that she had failed. I
raw Mr. Bravo five or six times before the marriage.
He was introduced to Mr. Campbell and all the family.
Before the marriage I was introduced to Mr. and Mrs.
Bravo, Pen. I visited my daughter at the Priory; until
the marriage was announced I had not been tilers.. I
found her living in every cemtort and luxury; she had
an income of between P-3,e00 arid £l,OOO a year. She
was managing her esteblfshinent with the assistance of Mrs.
Cox, I thought my daughter and Mr. Bravo much attacned
to each other. Inc wedding took place from our houre in
Lowndes-squa.re. She was entirely restored to the affection
of her family. After the m image they went te Brighton,
where they remaared for a week or ten days. They spent the
Christmas Man us at Bascot ; they remarried with us a Lrr
nlgat up to the 6.h of Jeuuary. We rec rived them with
every kurdness Saortly et ter they left us I received a letter,
. dated 9th Jenuary, MI6, from the Priory, Baltrain, and it Is
written pertly by Mr Bravo aud partly by Mrs. Bravo.

Sir IL James then read the letter as follows :
" Dear Mrs. Carnpbell,—Had I not the excino tilat I wish
you to know how Florence is getting on, I should be loth to
trouble you with a letter merely for the purpose of thabking
you for your kindness to me when I was at BußCOts That
were indeed to return eviL for good. But as I have the sat's.
factory news for you th.t Florence IS in excellent health,
and though surrounded by bills, in excellent spirits, 1 ivill
List venture to tell you that I shall for over count myself a
debtor to you and all your fain ly for your great kindness to
ma. The reception wh ch my mother gave Florence, and the
loving way in which she talked of her, gave me strength
to bear up under the afflicti,,u of leaving Buseot which I
had otherwise been without. Here lam so thoroughly at
home that it almost seems as if I had never lived anywhere
else ; at times, indeed, my mind reverts (with regret that
I am not there) to Buscot, were I enjoyed such -ease and
dignity, together with a liberty ef staying at home on Sun-
day, which I do not enjoy her, ; but whin the thought be-
comes depressing I go to attend to the stable, over which I
am appoiutect superintendent, or else I seek solace in sleep,
which lomjoy like a very Campbell. I am looking forward
to the advent, of Auzusts. Florenc3 seuds her love to you

"I'.B.—Florence, who is looking over my shoulder, stys
she sends not ILA. love, but her ' very best love.' I therefore,
unwit ing to be behind her iu anything, beg to send my vei y,

Alzs. I;ravo finishes the letter in th 3 following manner :
P.S —I do hope dear Augusta is better; my love to her.

imsgo e iivice the amount of affection, as I had to do

undemonstrative as possible —Your loving child.
it
The foltowlng letter Is dated "Lie Priory, lialharo,
January 23rd, 1876 :"

"My dear Mrs. Campbell—l have spent the greater part of

"Florence must think you a born MAL She imagines
that unless I tell you so you will not know that she holds
you in her most afftctlimate love. Know by these presents
that she does."

• Then Mrs. Bravo finLshes the letter as follows :
"Is not Charlie a goose; so dreadfully- terse and laconic.

-
My loving nature cannot indulge in barrhters' cold phrases,
therefore I told him to send my very beet love to you."
Sir H. James then reed two other letters; one referred to
the proposed visit to Worthing; the other, dated 16th April,
from the Priory, was written by Mrs. Bravo
" My dearest Mother,—We hope papa is gaining strength,
and that he will soon be quite well. Auntie came
over yesterday and - was looking blooming. Uncle
and Penh • are coming to-morrow, and Charlie is
looking forward to a game of lawn tennis. I never saw
him looking so well. The country is life to him, and he walks
about with his hook under his arm as happy as a king. We
leave here (DV) on Thursday for Wonhing, and hope on
our return to welcome you and papa here, and than
Ernie and To*. lam getting strouger, but it is a long bust-
nese. It seems ages before one feels really well, but by dint
of sits baths and spinal washes I have wooed sleep back, one
of the most imporiant steps to recovery. The :lowers here
are in great profusion, mid so lovely. I wish you could see
Ste houies, they are so sweet. Think Ernie for her kind
letter, and with our beat love SO you all.\ever your lovug
child, " FLORENCE BRAVO.'
Witness: Mr. Campbell and I went to Rome in February,
and returned early in April My daneter wrote to me
while I was there. I di,i not see either of them on my
return from Rome. She was then not able to come to Buscot.
and I was unable to leave my husband, who was ill. Mr.
Bravo spoke to me about my daughter s tendency to take
more wine than was good for her during the Christmas visit
at Buscot. He mentioned to me that she had a glass of wine
before she dressed for dinner, and he said he dtd not thlak
it necessary.

Sr H. James then questioned the witness with reference to
the telegrants rent by Mn. C. Bravo during Mr. Bravo's ill-
ness The messages from her were couched in terms of deep
affection towards her husband, and indicated her great
anxiety for his recovery.
At this stage the inquiry was adjourned.

The Inquiry was resumed on Wednesday..—We also take
the folio ing account of the proceedings from the Globe :
The examination of Mrs. Campliell, the mother of ,sirs
Bravo, was resumed. In answer to Sir IL JAlll,5'B questions,
she said: I arrived at the Priory at 4 SO on the afternoon of
Thursday, 30th April. and my son, Mr. William Campbell,
was with me. Mrs. Cox came ti meet me a ith the carriage,
and told me there was no hope for Mr. Bravo. I found at
the Priory my daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bravo, een., Mr. Bops'
Bell, and Mies Beat I saw Mr. C. Bravo about toil mieutes
or is quarter of an hour after my arrival. He was quite
conscious, and I found that Mrs. Joseph Bravo and her eer-
van t had taken the principal charge of him. I saw him after
my arrival five or six limes; the last time at four o'clock
on Friday morning,. and I remained with him until his
death at 5.80 that morning. P:ior to that I saw
him at ten o'clock before going to bed. He kee
me perfectly when I arrived, and he asked me to kit
him, and Le said, "You have been very kind to me."
He said to his, mother, "Will you be kind to Florence?" and
her answer was, "I am never unkind to any one, and I will
be kind to Florence.' I asked him if be would see a clergy-
man, and be began to pray, and said the L tad's Prayer, in
which we all joined. lie would not see a clergyman. I saw
my daughter in the room from time to time tnat afternoon.
[talked to her alone, and also in the presence of others
Oct of his room she appeared to me very much distreesei,
but in his room she was very composed. While she was
with me alone her grief appeared to me to be sincere and
great, and I saw no trace of simulation. She had given up her
room to Mrs. J. Bravo, and was occupying Mrs. Cox's r 0014,,
I si4gcsted to her that in her condttiou of weakness it
would be well for her to lie down. I taw her kiss her
husband, and he seemed to reeiprocate her elf -ction. Be
was very fond of her. After his death at 5.3 e I was with
my 'laughter, and ahe showed signs of great grief and
cried very much. She seemed quite stunned, anti then her
grief appeared to me quite sincere and deem I had heard
that Mr. C. Bravo had lunched at St. James Ball with my
brother, Mr. Orr. I have always taken great care about
copper kettles and vessels, arid she knew of that hobay
of mine. I asked her if she could account for the cause of
his illness, and she said she had left him perfectly wall at the
Turkish 3aths, that he came home and rode the pony which
ran ewes, with him, that she advised him to have a warm
bath, that he came down to dinner and ate his dinner as
usual, and that after choler they rem tined a short time,
and afterwards went up to their rooms. She heard of his
Illness and went sto him. I asked her what she thought
, could have made him ill, and she gall she could not
account for it, but she thought • his luncheon might
have been cooked in capper vessels, and that it
might have disagreed with bias in consequence. I believe
the fact of Mr. Bravo having lunched at. James's Hall with
Mr Orr was mentioned t s me. When I first saw Mr. Bravo,
sen., I said, "Mrs. Cox tells me Charlie has taken poison." I
had learnt that he had taken poison from Sire. Cox. I told
Mr 11 yes Bell that Mrs. cox told me Mr. Bravo had said he
had • aki.ri poison and he replied, " He will make no admis-
siou." Mrs. Cox told me he had taken poison when I was in
the carriage with her. That was all I heard about poison
then. I heard more about it when Sir W. Gull came about
seven o'clock, and the conversation with my daughter about
the luncheon was before that time; in fact, as soon as I ar-
rived at the house. Alter the death my daughter appeared
to feel the grief acutely. Iler attention and Entine was milled
to what was written and said in relation to Mr. Bravo's
death. It was called to what appeared to the press. I re-
mained with her until she was able to go to Brighton. She
used always to go to the seaside. She was seriously ill at
Brighton, and I went to her immediately. Mrs. W. Camp-
bell j Aced her at Brighton, Immediately she left the Priory,
The funeral was on Saturday, the 29th of April, and the went
to Brighton on Wednesday, the S'd of May. Mrs. W. Camp-
bell stayed with her about three weeks, and then I went
down and stayed with her ahem a week. I then brought her
to Bittcot, and she remained there with me until about three
weeks ago. I have been with her at the Priory ever since.
When I went to Brighton about the 21th of May I found her
very unwell, and mentally excited about the suggestions that
ha I been made; she could not sleep.
Mr. Lewis: What suggestions?
Sir H. Junes: Suggestions or statements which appeared
t he Press.

_
Witness: In addition she received ft large number of
anonymous letters, many of them very wicked ones and the
result was she became in a very excited state, At Brighton
a medical man slept in the house for three eights, and her
mind was much directed to repelling the statements which
had appeared. I felt it uecessary that else should be most ea: ("-
fully avended and watched. That was done. We never left
her. That condition coetinned while she was in Brighton;
she recovered after she came to Ilusoot, She is in a,mewtiat
of *nervous condition now Wien I saw her on the 10'h
of
,Igovemeer, 1875. I learnt from her that she was to give
up the intimacy with Dr. Gully for ever. That was at the in-
terview at my sister's at Surbiton. She appeared to me td
do that cheerfully, and was glad that the intimacy seas coming
to an end, as she wes reconciled to her family. I have since
learnt rhat she had a final personal interview to say farewell
to Dr Gully. 'filet took place before the marriage at the
lodge at the Priory. I don't know the titaG dkte of that
interview. In one of her lettere—that of the 16th of April—
she referred to having wooed sleep back egain, and that
showe•i she had been deprived of sleep. Mrs. Cox told me
that Dr. Gully had sent a bottle of laurel water, and th lt he
at.o prescrib,ll sitz baths and spinal washes. Of the
date when this laurel-water was sent I am not certain,
hut I think it was about the sth of April ; that
was the date her illness com-nenced. Mrs. Cox told
me that she met Dr. Gully goltht to the station, and that he
inquired how Mrs. chaties Bravo was. She told him she
was Niel y poorly, and could not get sleep, and he said, "Tell
her to use the sitz baths and spinal washes, and I will send
ye-11 a bottle of laurel water, of which she is to take 30 drops
until ahe gets sl?ep." The laurel-water was not used. I
was in the room when this conversation was spoken about;
it was quite openly stated. Mrs. Cox told me she had told
Dr. Gutty what it was Mrs. Bravo was suffering from; she
told him that lira Bravo could not get sleep "in consequence
or this miscarriage. "rhe communication was made to me
perfectly openly on the Saturday after the death. I do not
know what became of the laurel water.

By Mr. Lewis: I did not hear any one asked to take the
!mum water into the helm ; I beard my daughter say to Mrs.
Cox, "You need not keep ie." I was aware that Mr. It it es
Bell was attending my daughter during her miscarriage.
Mrs Cox told me that Dr Gully said he would leave the
laurel water at her (elm Cox's) house in London, in Lan-
e oiter-road, Notting-hill. I think she said it was made up
aeSmith's, at Balham. I donte think she said it was made
up at Brixton. Dr. Gully told Mrs. Cox it should be lett at
Nott;ng-hill, because he was going in that direction to see
his ion. She gave no reason why it had not been sent from
the chemist at 13,1eam to the Priory. Her account to me
was that De Gutty was to leave it at her house in London.
She was going every day to London to let her house. she did
not tell me the date of the transaction. I made no further
inquiry into it. Mrs. Cox is now at No. 7, Manchester-
street, fdanchesterquare, London.
Mr. Murphy : She is quite ready to be here.
Mr. Lewis: Has she left your daughter finally?
Witness: ehe is going to Jamaica when this inquiry is over.
Sheewas going before the death of Mr. Bravo. She is on quite
good terms with my daughter at the present time. She
went to Brighton with my daughter after Mr. Bravo's death;
and the was there when I e ent down. She did not go to
Beecet with my daughter. It was not necessary for her Logo
there, as I was there, so were my son's wife and her sister. I
lest saw Mrs. Cox swat three weeks ago in London, in Holies-
street. Tne last time I saw Dr. Gully was lest July. Ile came
into a train where f was, and he left very quickly when
he saw I was there. I did not know that any of the
servants were aware of the bottle of laurel-water coming
from Dr. Gully, or that anybody but Mrs. () Bravo or
Mrs. Cox wee aware of it. Mrs. Cox did not tell me that
any body was aware that my dauehter was acting under the
advice of Dr. Gully in April, 1876. I did not see the bottle
of laurel water. My- daughter did not tell me whether she
had suggested tO Mrs. C, x to seek Dr Gully's advice. She
told me when Mr. C. B-ave was given over by the doctors
that she asked Mrs. Cex to see Dr. Gully and ascer-
tein whether he c neld suggest anything as a last
resource. Ceptain Ricerdo Wes 21 when he married my
daughter, and she was 19 years et age. Ile settled £io,o&
upon her, some of which was expected on (he death of his
mother, so that when his mother died that portion went
to the trustees under the settlement. Lady Katherine
Ricardo died before her son; she eves about 43 or 49 When
Captain Ricardo eied in April, 1871, he was eeerly
years old, and since that time she has isej iyed the interest
of the money apart from the £3,000 or £4,000 already
spoken of. She had £2OO or £BOO a year from her grand-
tether, and at her marriage her father wive a bond to pay to
the trustees, ot the marriage settlemsnt the interest of
£2O 000. After the death ot Captain Ricardo, Mrs. Ricardo in-
atittred a suit against her fattier. (Copy of bill in Chancery
produced and handed in.) The prayer of the bill was that
an acc. ant might be taken of the property comprised in
the marriage settlement in 1864, and that new trustees
naieht be appointed. I have known Sir W. Gull for fifteen
or sixteen years. I did not know of the intatpation of
Dr. Gully during the lifetime of her first husband-
-1 die not bear of it until toe Mae of 1871 • Captain
Ricardo died in April, 1871. I am will of opinion that
the infatuation oommenced alter Captain Ricardo's death.
Captain Ricerde made some rtuneurs about in, but he made
so many rumours when he was tinder the Leflaence of drink
that I took no notice of it. I think there was no infatuation •
In November, 1870 I think she liked Dr. GuUy as a friend.
That is my impreesien still. In May, 1871, I heard her con-
duct wan such that it was necessary for me to reprove her.
She was then living at Mr. Brook,', solcitor, and I was
living at Buscot. I heard of her conduct by means of
a written communication. It was about the time the
suit in Chancery was commenced that I heard about
her, and ceased to receive her. The litigation was
while she was living with Mr. Brooke The separation coen-
tinned until the end of October, 1875. I did not see her
