him to be suffering from an overdose of laudanum, and had
recourse at once to the stomach-pump, by means of whic4
the patient was restored to consciousness. On being ques-
tioned, Rogers maid that be never took any laudanum in
his life, but that afternoon he bad a few elaases of
drink, and finding himself unwell he sent for three
nannyworth of tincture of rhubarb, which was adminis-
tered
to him by his wife, and he became insensible
immediately after taking it. It smeary from the investips
tions which the police have made into the circumstances

Mr. Dobson, who states that Mr. and Mrs. Rogers had
been in the habit of purchasing about four ounces of
lam lanum weekly for several years. Mrs. Rogers admitted
in the presence of Inspector Roney that she had a bottle
containing laudanum in the holm, but she said she had
never given her husband any. After she was taken into
custody, however, she admitted that she had given her
husband a teaspoonful end a half for the purpose of keep-
ing him quiet, as he was very drunk. She said, however,
that she did not intend to do him any harm. A bottle,
contiin;ng about hal' an ounce of laudanum, was found in
the berme, and this was identified by Mr. Dobson, druggist,
