As to the treatment by landlords in future cases of

obvious to need enforcement. Landlords must be
seedy and willing to receive such sufferer into their
hours, and to give them the beet skilled treatment at

FUNERAL SERMON ON MR. J. G. HOMER.
( Delivered al &nail-area eAurrk, ly Ike Rev. I'. Heave.)
"Father. I will that they also whom Thou bast
given ma be with me where I am, that theLloeY behold
my glory which Thou bast given me, for Thou loyedat
me before the foundation of the world."--John xvii, 24.
It would be atm& to select from this last prayer
of our Lord one portion more precious thee another.
To the Church and the individual believer it is all alike
precious and glorious. There is no want pertaining to
either which is not thought of and provided for. The
petition' for the believer are such that if we could but
realise them they would fill us with unspeakable joy
sod satisfaction. All that c,ncerns his personal weal
for life and for death are here specified. Their Lord,
Ilk, a pious father remembering his children on his
dying bed, breathes forth His most earnest desire on
behalf of each. Their interest in Christ's salvation is
prayed for, their protection amid the evil infirmness el
Lb. world, their minion and their usefulness we au
thought of, wid thsu their future also, the life beyond
the ;r ae and the gloly ..f the eternal world. If we
I could but feel that all these deep anl precious concerns
occupied the last moments of Christ with His disciplea,
I and were the subjects of His earnest prayer to His
Father, what a force of meaning it would give to our
Lord's prayer, and how precious must it appear in our
thou.dit. And what is true of the individual believer
is true of the whole Church. We think of the Church
or of the individuals which compose it, and His largest
and latent desires have respect to it, to its power in the
world, to its unity, and ultimately, to its glory, fey the
petition which we have chosen as our meditation has
respect to the whole church and to every member of it.
" Father, I will that they also whom Thou halt given
Me be with Me where I am, that they may beheld My
glory which Thou least given Me, for Thou loverist Me
b4ore the foundation of the world." Let um dwell on
the following truth' as suggested by the passage.
I. Let us look at it as a revelation of the future
life.
H. Of Christ's glory in that life.
ILL Of the future home and blessedness of the
believer,

L Let us look at it as • revelation of the future !
life. "Father, I will that they also whom Thou hut
given me be with Me where I am." These words ,
obviously point to Christ's home in the future. They I
cannot refer to His present position or circumstances,
nor can they refer to nil after condition on the earth.
For the disciples were already with Him where He was I
on the earth ; and, AI tO His cJining desth,the prayer
could have no reference to that, "for Fie trod the
winepress alone '." and then, respecting His glory, if
It were simply to ear ,
glory, the disciples had
thy
already beheld that; an then if the prayer extend
beyond the limit of these first disciple* and include
those who were to follow, how CM we understand
Christ's words, unless we treat them as a revelation of
the future life of heaven?
The difficulty which presents itself is really no ,
difficulty, for although Christ speaks in the present
tense, " ,There I am, ' yet we have only to remember
who lie was to tool that such language was really
applicable to Him, and any other would have been '
unsuited to Him. Who was He? He was the ever-
lasting Son of God, the co•eqttel and co-eternal with
the Father, the occupant, therefore, of that higher
and heavenly life, whose sojourn on earth was to be
brief and for a definite purpose, which, so soon as it
was accomplished, was to witness to His return to
that home and glory wlti.h was really Ilia proper and
native sphere. And now, having reached the
clam of His earthly life, and as about to com-
plete His great work, Ile speaks as if it were
already done and as if already lie had entered on His
reward; this fact, aud the fact that heaven was always
His home, His true sphere, leads him to speak in the
prment tense, as if He were already living in the
blest land f glory. We have three instances of the
same use of them words, when our Lord is evidently
speaking f the future life and its rewards. He gays
' If any man Me let him follow Me, and where
I am there shall also My servant be; if any man serve
Me him will My Father honour." In this p
there can be no doubt that our Lord is referringrolstfil
future life, and to the rewards which there await His
followers. And although lie waa not then really in
that future life, yet as it was !fig rightful sphere lie
speaks as if lie were in it. The word, of the Saviour,
therefore, are a revelation and testimony to that future
life where He is now, and where all His followers
shall to. That Christ has entered into that heavenly
life is evident from the following consideration.
1. lie ever spoke of His continuance here as of a
temporary nature and for a specific purpose, an.l so
soon as that purpose was fulfilled He was to leave the
world. This is very clearly taught us in all His utter-
ances ,• His oneness with the Father, His utterances
as to ilia coming forth from the Father, so different
from terms which ordinary creatures would employ'
and then His utterances touching that glory which
He had with the Father before the world was; and
that declaration of the Father's love for Him from
before the foundation of the world. These utterances
point clearly to the idea of that future and eternal
life beyond this worldond indicate Christ's knowledge
of it, and His presencie In it. The utterances of Christ,
therefore, clearly show forth His faith in that future,
and also show us that His knowledge of it was as real
an I complete as of this life. He did not live here as
if this wore the only life. He lived here to teaoh us
that the real life lay beyond this. This is the grand
and lasting impression which His teaching hoe left in
the world, and the Christian look, forward to that
better world of rm.' life and well-being. As we look
at Chriat's life, moreover, and as we consider its per-
pow, nothing is more surely impressed on our minds
than the fact of the heavenly home of Jena. We feel
that He is here only for a season; that this is not His
real home, was not intended hi be; that lie ICY
living here simply to show U 3 the' better life, to point
us from this to the heavenly h me, to show us how to
get there, to imprem us with its reality. The life of
Christ, and the teaching of Christ, and the purpose
of Christ, alike agree in teaching us to think of, and
believe in that future life. we reject His life as
divine, if we reject His teaching, if we refuse to
acknowledge His great purpose, then we may fail to
believe in the great revelation which He has given us
of the future ; but every honest reader of Christ's life
must accept the revelation He has given us of the
future, and this is one of the mi.st precious revelations
which He has made to us.
& Again the resurrection and pre.wilnently the ascen.
Mon ot Christ is the most complete evidence of the future
and heavenly life. If we admit these which rest on the
surest beak, we are forced into the conclusion that as
Christ still Sew sad dose not live in the world, He must
live In another, in short Me must be in Heaven. This Ls
the surest evidence of our faith. Wh_pn Jesus roused up
through those clouds which received Him out of the sight
of His adoring sad worshipping riiicinles, Whore did Ho
got', but to the heavenly world? And with this grist
fact in view, how can we refuse to believe in the certainty
of such a world. Our Saviour has solved 41 Our doubts ;
His own deputure from this life and the certainty of His
entering into another lays to net all our anxieties and all
our fears. When we pare liable to be oppressed with such
fears, when the thought of another life seems to fill us
with doubts as mit. reality, lot us simply remember the
great truth that ..ttr 8 oriour lives in itt that He departed
in the sight of His followers from this world. that He
was seen of many brethren, that He was preached by
them as having entered tat, the heavenly world, and if
WO grasp these facts they will quickly dispel all doults,
ant fill our minds with Vie certainty of a batter life.
Until we can show that Jesus never rose from the dead.

up to Use belief of that hieber and future life. Christ left
this world to go to another, to go to ii . Where
ea alt hven Is,i or what it is, t is vain to conjecture. It
is not 1.,..u51ed to us. We know nothing and can know
nothing of t'jiicitat world, beyond the fact that it is, and

Christian to know tb,,;.° the future life is revealed in
Christ, that its existence is prockalmed with the most
certain voice, that Jesus Hl:rut-eV .!`ll.His LAM and Saviour
dwells there now.
& This is the last fact, the &clued present* of Christ
in he IVIM. and at the Il&610 time His presance with lila
Church. Before He left the disciples His promise was,
"U,, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world." But this promise of Christ with His Church
implies Ilia continued existence and His esistenee in the
heavenly sphere. And so the declared work of Christ
Implies the same troth. He lives to intercede for His
people. He lives to give power to His Church to proclaim
His truth; His blueing is resting on His Church ; Hit lives
to nate and govern in the world, and to direct all things
for the good of His Church. All these and kindred facts
nece,sarily involve the fact of His own existence, and,
therefore. the fact of • future life. How full and corn.
plots the evident), on which the Christian hopes for this
great future, and how evidently must it appear as the end
of all God's people. Christ is Himself, in His own de.
parlors, the surest evidence of His future. To be where
He is, is to be in heaven.
11. Let us now turn to look at the life He live, there.
It is one of glory. "I will that they also whom Thou
hest given Me be with Me where I am, that they may
behold My glory which Thou hut given roe; for Thou
lovedit Me before the foundation of the world." It is,
therefore, • life of glory Into which He has entered.
I. We might infer as much front the life lie lived 011
the earth. What was His mission 7 How great and
glorious I need not repeat. It was to redeem • lost and
fallen world, to reveal God to it, to point the way to the
better land, to teach men that a way of life was open to
them, that salvation was within the "Inch of all, that His
mission on earth as the Son of Gad, whom God loved
from before the foundation of the world, was to publish
the glad tidings of salvation, to be Himself the Saviour,
to give His life • ransom for many, for as many as the
Father had given Him. This was the altogether gloris
minion of the Son of God. This explains the wondrous life
He lived on earth, the mingling and commingling of great.
nue and meanness, of exhaustless wealth and deepest
impoverishment, of initiate joy and deepest sorrow, of
divine glory and human poverty. All thie was Mae necessary
penalty He paid for our redemption, for the sceousplith-
meet of the salvation of the world, and for this work, and
for this life He was to be highly honoured. Need we
wonder that such • life should be honoured I That God
should lift up Hie heed above all the angelic bend? What
reward can we think such • life worthy of? And need
we wonder if God has exalted Him with His own right
hand, far above all the principalities and powers That
He gave Him the highest place that heaven affords, and
enriched Him with His own glory It to such • reward
that the Father hath given to His Soo. He bath raised
Him to supreme glory and dominion in the liniment, and
shall put all things under Him. In vain do we attempt to
Image to ourselves the glory of the Redeemer_, in vain do
we seek to realise the glory of lila person or His position.
In vain do we try to realise the honours of the Heavenly
world which are laid at His feet. Sys bath not meg, ear

I went back and met toe ostler about 100 yards
from the hotel, and told him it was Mr. Newman,
of llydling. He said he thought it was by the

Northwer was in, he told ma, sad I went to call him.
We threw up some cinders it the window, and Yr.

John Tompkins, of Holywell, smith. On Wednesday.
, January fllst, I was returning from Sydling home, about
' half-past ten, with William Baker. When we came under
Batoomb• Bill, we mot • horse coming towards as, with
• bridle and saddle, and we took hold of it, stopped it, and
witness rode it till they found a man. Witness got off and
found this man was lying on his back across the road.
Tried to roues him up; but oould get no answer, took him
and placed him against this bank. Bed no light, but the
moonlight was bright enough to see by. and he saw &little
blood come from the mac's mouth. Witness then got on
the horse, and rode down to lb. Northover's, landlord of
the hohsl it ttolywell station. Called up Yr. Northover,
who oamedMrd. Asked lb. Northing, if he would come
and take the man down, add he said be could not. Told

Newman about twenty minutes put eleven. It was
upwards of an hour till be was at the stabil. Wednesday ,
was a very cold, frosty, moonlight night. Mr. James Spicer
requested me to go to Mr. Northover to cone and fetch

Welter Randall, ceder for Mr. Northour: Oa Wed-

eleven c'clock, where I hadn't been above five minutes.
Mr. Bpicar and Mr. Tompkins called in'; I went down,
and they said they had got a stray horse in the at able, and
asked whether I know it. I said I did not; but believed
It was Mr. II Allis, of Evershot. Ur. Spioer thought it
was, and added—" Here is • man on the hill, dead drunk

a moment," and went to the saddle room to put on my
halter jacket, when they were gone. I heard the horse
about the stable, and went to look at it, when I knew it.
It slipped the halter three times running. I went out of
the yard, and towards Evershot ; but I could not wee or
hear, and turned back to the top of the cross-roads.
when I saw a light coming, and Baker, a porter on
the line, came to me, and told me Kr. Newman was
en the road, very tipsy, he believed, and they must
get some c 'oversees to get him home. They went
on to Mr. Nortbover's house, and Biker asked which room
muter slept in, which I told, and they called muter up;
but be said he did not know what to de with him, Baker
said Mr. Newman was up there insenstblo, c iold neither
speak nor stand; he watt like a dead man, and they in set
have some conveyance to get him home. The horses were
very smooth, not roughed, and matter said they could not
go out that night,. .
as iverywas very slippery. Master said—
tat 'en lay," or 'let ea stop there," or something like
that, and also—" Don't you take any home out of MY
stable for the night." I think master felt very sorry for
it afterwards, and said—" You had better go no one get
WI home in the best manner you can. Can't you get
him to stand I If you can't you had better get him down
in the wheelbarrow." Witness continued—he went back
with John Baker, saw the body lie, he was in a fearful
state, not fit for anybody to pull about: but witness said
"Never mind that, get some grass sari wipe it off, the
man shan't stay therelike that." Tompkins took bold of his
leg., but he was rather disagreeable in smelling, and they
couldn't handle him as they ought, but carried him tome
distance till the wheelbarrow Caine, when they put some
straw in the wheelbarrow and brought him to the stable
door. He was still Insensible, and witness threw down •
good cartlowl el straw, on which they laid him, making •
nice bed. The others said—" Stop throwing down any
more,' aad they covered him up with cloths and bagel
the others left, saying—" Now, you kick 'en next moan-
ing for what we have done for him to-night." Witness
went on I. his bedroom, and left him, as witness euppaised,
comfortable. Did not know Mr. aamott was at the
' house', he lodges there, but that night or the previous he
wee called away. Did net feel exactly happy, and about
• quarteer•put one called his master, ftylag—" It is Mr.
Newman: I should like for you to come down and see
him." Me came down, and said "He seems very comfort-
able. Walter; I can't see that we can do any better fee
him now ;" and we put an extra cloth on him I believe
it was master who put it on. Did not touch him, except
to untie his necktie ; but he never opened his eyes ; never
wagged at all. At six o'clock witness went down
as usual, end went to the stable door and spoke
to him, but he made DO answer' everything they
had pet on him be had kicked off, and the straw was all
over the place. Witness went hack to the saddle-room,
, Where be takes his meals, and lighted the fire, put
' on the kettle of water, and went to Mr. Newman at halt-
ered six. staling "Kr, Newman, you know me; wake up,
Mr. Sun, and try to get am if yen can, sir." He opened

going back met the deceased walking at the stable door,
making his way towards the tap-room; but witness said
"Kr. Sun, there is no flre there; come to the saddle
room. where I have &nice Are," and as plain as witness
could make out, he answered—" What I" Got a rug and

Mr. W. /fakery. medical practitioaer, at Corn.: I saw
the late Mr. Newman on Thum lay, January 1204, and till
his death. He died yesterday morning at half-past three.
When I saw him first I found him suffering from con-
vission of the brain produced by so injury to the back
part of the head. The part of the head injured corresp.nd
to the part of the brain which Is m st sensitive and moat
serious in sulk accidents. I applied the usual remedies
for conclusion, and was in constant attendance on blm.
When I saw him first reaction had not fully established
itself. Up to Sunday night he improved very slightly
and very gradually. On Monday secondary effusion took
place, he became quite insensible and continued so up to
thirds. death.

him I took his temperature, cud examined bum for any
alcoholic symptoms, and can say most positively that he
was not then suffering from the effects of alcohol, but
purely from the accident. Before the Monday he was not
conscious. Have heard of the placebo was pat into, and
his treatment in the stable, and my opinion is that it
lessened the change of recovery in this way, that the
night was fearfully cold. local c rid would be benefi:ial in
his case, supposing it was applied to the bead; but general
c ill, which be must have suffered from, coned the blood

and thereby was injurious. The straw and the bags were
decidedly not sufficient
By Mr. Weston: The blow was sufficient to cause death.
It would lemon the chews of recovery to expose • man to
the cold. Allowing the man to remain out in the cold for
two or three hours would be Injurious to • man in good
health, and much worse for • man having suffered such an
accident. He would bays had a better chance of recovery
had he been removed earlier to the hotel and been properly
taken care of.
By • Juror: Had he been taken earlier indoors and into
• wino room, be would have had a better chance of
recovery, but exact not say whether deceased would have
recovered.
By Mr. Weston: Had seen fatal injuries without an
external mark at all; and had seen a moll with actual
fracture of the brain going about his work.
The Jury did not consider any poet morrow necessary.
The Coroner stated that Mr. Tuck and Mr. Ward, who
ware at the Acorn Inn that evening, were prepared to
come forward and swear Mr. Newman was not suffering
from drink on that occasion.
A juryman said be had known Mr. Newollk from his
boyllo and never knew him to be intoxicated.
The Coroaer said they had now arrived at the termina-
tion of the evidence.
Mr. Weston was going to call the attention of the jury
to the tespowdbilities and requirements of innkeepers,
and to the law Isla down in the "Law of Coroners" with
, regard to the term "unlawful omission." He should
contend there was a decided omission on the part of the
landlord here, by his alluwing the poor man to remain in
, the stable without the warmth and attention which the
; circumstances required. His refusing to take the man in,
• and saying_ "bet him lie there," were also remarked on,
and Mr. Weston said the question was whether the land-
lord did not contribute to the death, and in that case the
, verdict of the jury should be one of manslaughter against
i the landlord. The terms "unlawful omission" were
, applicable when any one, being under • legal obligation
to supply food or clothing, or to do any other act to main-
tain life, had omitted to do so. It was homicide, altkoi4h
, the effect of the omission be merely to accelerate the
effect, altheugh even if there had been timely remedies,
then death might have occurred. As to the obligation,
innkeepers are bound by law to receive travellers, pas-
' 'sneers, or wayfarers who may come to their inns, and
, also to protect the property of Mese guests, and they
' cannot refuse them guests or Impose unreasonable terms
' upon them. The landlord refusing to receive a guest Is
• liable to an indictment at the sessions, and if so, it would
, be • case that may be examined into before the magis-
, irate., who can bind over the landlord to appear. They
, found this landlord ref used because hs would notget up, for
he could not say—" Ida not know he will have the money
to pay ene"—here was the maces horse. Mr. Weston
should otrongly num. the Coroner to leave it to the Jury
whether this did not amount to manslaughter.

to answer to a remark of Mr. Dorrimaa's, Mr. North•
over said ths 'Uhlman) sometimes locked; they are pot
to the house.

Witness examined by Mr. Weston, said he spoke to his
muter first about Mr. Newman. and told him it was Mr.
Newman's pony. Baker told his master • man was up
there who he believed was drunk. Muter told him he
was not to have any horse out of the stable. Before that,
his master said "very little all." He said—" You had
better get him down in the wheelbarrow." Did not hear
him say anything that the horse had • long journey to go;
nor anything about the old mare or the young. Muter
had net named anything except that he was sorry Ur.
Newman was dead. His master had not hardly spoken
ten words gigue to him about IL

Mr. Northover wiled the Coroner to put this down;
when Kr. Weston said—" One would think you were •
culpable party ; you are so very anxious. '
Witnese, in answer to Mr. Weston, said it might have
taken perhaps halfmn•hour to bring Mr. Newman on •
horse to the home. Had put old balm on Mr. Newman,
before Mr. Northover cants down,--bags cut in two, and
put up to keep a from the whits-washed wall. Thought
matters so animas that he was not comfortable about it ;
and got up at half past one, and called his master. Had
not bad his evidence taken down in the presence of Mr.
fiploer. Mr. Newman had taken down his evidence, but
not in the presence of the persons mentioned by Mr.
Weston.

"Tie "iso—ro—ner--;al-d-thiT:rits-a-ie—ry sad case—that • man'
should be so suddenly deprived of life—a man moving in
respectable society also. It seemed the pony was found
about half-past tan at night. and shortly afterwards
deceased was found insensible, and from that state of
insenalbility he seems never to have recovered. The land-
lord was deserving a great deal of reinsure for the course I
be had taken; but whether it was sufficient for the jury
to bring in • verdict of manslaughter, waa for their con,
Mutation. It was clearly in evidence that the cause of
death was the original blow which deceased received from :
falling of his home, for nothing had happened sines whith
prevented this f rom being thereat cause of death. Trust roes
circumstances death might have been acoelerated. and by '
neglect, and if there had been a real oath of neglect and
they should be of that opinion, they most return a verdict
to that edict. Circumstances, however, somewhat miti-
gated that, because although Mr. Northover had spoken
In that way which no redecting rues would have n.ed,
still they found him getting up afterwards in the middle
of the nista. Mr. Nortbover and the witnesses were not
justified in leaving the man without seeing that be had
medical attendance before they sent to bed; there was
very great blame when a medical man was so near, in
fact on the spot, liring in the seine house, and he could
not think bow the people could have been so negli-
gent in their duty IN not to have called him. There
was certainly very gross neglect. The Coroner then '
referred to the evidence of the witnesses% remarking
that John Baker appeared to have acted in• most, raieht-
forward manner ; he was obliged to leave because there
was • train due at one o'clock, but he (the Coroner) had
no doubt that if that Mr. Baker had continued with the
deceased, he would have satisffed himself that medical
assistance WM gives him. But he left him with the
other% and they made him up what thee considered a
comfortable and proper bed. It was to Mr. Baker that the
landlord used that expresso i which was to be re-rettxd
and the other condrrued him as to the (sot of the landlord's
refusing to send a horse for the man. No doubt there
was some excuse for not minding out a horse on such a
night as that, and perhaps the landlord was not much to
blame for that, while the manner in which deceased was
serried was not perhaps quite as well if there had been
a carriage used. The jury had heard what Mr. Weston
had said about the duties of lindlords ; no doubt landloi as
have many advantages, and nut only have they. but she
public have advantages which they are entitled' to en) y
in cases of this kind, and he theuebt le,ecilOr& cannot be
too particular about received pawls who have met with
accidents. This wile not the 'Stet case where landlords
had been chary of receiving such p violas ; but the Coroner
thought they ought not to object to it for one moment;
they ought to open their houses stall times in such cases.
As to the cause of death, the evidence of the medical men
was quite clear; but there was this further question—
Was the death accelerated by the neglret or by the
conduct of the parties? If the jury thought the conduct
of the landlord was such as to aocelerate the death, there
was cause of blame,.
The roots was then cleared, and after about half
an hour'. consideration, the jury returned the following
verdict:—
"They consider that the cause of des,th was concussion
of the brain, produced by an aectiontal fell from the
deceased's horse. And the jury wish to express their
strong opinion that the chances of the recovery of the
deceased were lessened 'ioy the treatuseet he received, the
gross neglect in being permitted to remain all night in
• Itable withon_tmetliml aid."

By a Jurymaa : Mr. Newman's bead was uppermost
when he we. wheeled home in the barrow, and witness
and others held his limbs.

Mr. John Olapoett I have apartments at present at the
hotel, near the station but ma not new a medical
practitioner. having retired, except for friends and old
patient+, or in emergensies ; but I an still on the register.
()a the morning of the end. Just as I came down to
!meatiest, at nine o'clock, I was informed there was •
man very ill or very drunk out in the stable, and that I
bad better go and see him. I saw the man, thin lying
en his back, and asked the ostler what the matter was,
when he replied-" Only • drunken man; he'll be all right
again presently." I said-" What haa he been Oinking r
and they replied "We don't know." I knelt gown, and
felt his palm, and the respiration wee natural, and pulse,
*nib weak, wee molar. I lifted him into • sitting
vesture, and he vomited a little glairy mucus, but no food.
I had seen • good fire in the saddle-reern as I came by.
mid I lifted him up on his legs,and told Walter Randall and
Baker to take him into the seAdle.room. He calked in
there without assistence,and sat down by the Sr., covering
his shoulders over with • rug. A cup of tea was brought
out and I gave him part, and went back into the house,
saying I would see what better could done. There was a
beautiful Sr. in one of the rooms, and I had him taken in
there. Re was certainly very offensive. I smelt
,his breath, which was also offensive. He was perfectly
insensible, and evidently suffering from conclusion of the
kohl, as! could not get him to speak a word. I than gave
him a little brandy and water, and spoke to the landlord.
I thought it woeid be well to put blin in • bath, and then
to bed. I wee then informed that an hour previous • tele-
gram had been sent to his brother here to send a close con!
Terence to bring him home. I then said-" It ts no use
doing anything more here : when tht carriage °omits. let
him go home at once." The hotel was so full that there
WU no proper place for him. I was sleeping there that
night but was not ogled up.
By the Coroner : If you had seen him when he wets first
brought to the stable would there have been any better
chance of his recovery t--Oertalisly not; because It was
lying in • beautiful bed of straw.
Weston: A beautiful bed of straw I
Mr. Olapoott Tee, it was a cartioad of straw, and be
was covered with mats and rule- He was as comfortable
as straw could make him, or the place could under the
circumstance., not so comfortable as in a feather bed.
I 'should not have allowed him to remain there had I
seen him at drat. I should have known he was suffering
from concussion of the brain, and have ought to bring on
more reaction by placing him in a bed, with fires near
Ths concussibn of the brain was evidently caused
by a blow, and immure to cold in the open air would
make the effects worse, he would lie more stunned. and
would suffer more from the shock the brain had received.
The protection which he had from the straw and clothes
would be sufficient to protect him from aggravation of the
effects of concussion. This stable is always full of horses,
so that I do not believe it was ver cold there; it was
warmer than the hackney stable. (examined the head
and saw abrasion on the top lip, there was a little blood
from one of the nostrils ; and on the back of the head. I
lenity I could discover • alight tumefaction or swelling.
Have known a very slight blow on the heal kill a man,
and where • wine gloss full of brain has come out I have
known they recovered, and this in two roue Could not
tell whether there had been intoxication, the breath smelt
offensive, and I fancy beery; but the vomiting was •
moopton of concussion of the brain. I sent to the Acorn,
where he had been, to try and get some previous history;
and the landlord said be only had 4& worth of whiskey
there.
By Mr. Weirton When I saw him his hands wera cold;
but his body-(chest, au), was warm. My evidence was
L vintikbefore Mr. Newman. I told him I rubbed deceased's
because he was suCering front external cold; but
It was only partial. I did not know Yr. Newman wanted
my evidence to be published, or I wadd have given it
more in detail; I thought he only wanted it for private use.
Deceased's legs were warm, but I did not take off his
boots ; I felt the alveoli, which were warm, the feet might
have been cold. Supposiing the feet were cold, it would
he right to say the extremities were cold. The shock to
the Waious system would account for the cold. He might
have been is cold in • room, for instance if he had tossed
his arms out of bed,
Mr. Weston: If the night was so cold that having hie
arms out of bed would make them cold, would it not is
much more so in the stable I Would you consider that
the cart-horse stable was the proper place for • man
suffering from concussion of the brain t -It was not the
proper place, but not so improper as it might be.

euesle, of the brain, would you recommend him to be put

What was he covered with f-There was • rug there:

Mr. Weston :Supposing Walter had stated Kr. Newman
took the rug and threw it into tlie °hair, would that be

Walter says he took the cloth from the chair, and threw
it over the corn bin. Is that right or wrong --I put the
cloth on his shoulders ; but I went awl) immediately. We
both helped :1 saw it done.
Mr. Weston: We have thne different axounta of the
cloth, which is right?
Witness: Walter put it on his shoulder., I believe; but
it is such a trivial thing that I don't know.
Mr. Weston: But it is through trivial things that we Sad
the truth. Supposing you had been called that night,
would you have allowed him to stay in that stable I
