mitted that for the last few years it was absolutely neon-
nary to have large estimates. He admitted it was
a wise measure which armed our army and
militia and volunteers with the best weapons
at our dieposal, and be did not at all complain of the large
amount expended in the last few years in small arms and
heavy artillery. But there must come a time when that
expenditure might be reduced, and beneficially reduced. He
held in his head • speech of the Secretary for War, in
which he found it stated that, with regard to the number
of small arms manufaetaired, the number was 1.068,000;
the number issued to the army, militia, and volun-
teers was 500,0(!0; to the India government. 188,000;

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, on going into committee
of supply, he should ask the Home Secretary whether be

whether in coneequence the Lord Chamberlain had refused

was aware that the Lord Chancellor had refused to place

whether the Home Secretary had himself declined to re-
commend the Lord Chancellor to place this gentleman on

name without the royal license, and whether the right bon.
gentleman was aware that such conduct on the part of the
authorities of the Hone Guards and of himself was contrary
to law. (Laughter.)
CHINESE IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

Mr. MARSH asked the Under Secretary of State fer the
Colonies whether an act had been paned by the Miniature
of New South Wales, imposing a fine of 101. on every
Chinese landed in the colony, and an annual poU tax of 41.
on every Chinese resident there. and enacting other penalties
against them ; whether her Majesty had been advised to
withhold her consent from such set ; and whether he was
aware that, previous to the passing of this act, a select com-
mittee of the legislative council of New South Wales had,
after examining witnesses, made a report wholly and en-
tirely acquitting the Chinese residing in the colony of the
charges and imputations which had been made against them.
Mr. C. FORTEffiCUE said such an act as the hon. mem-
ber described was passed by the legislature of New South
Wale* a short time ago. It was assented to by the govern-
ment, and had been left to he operation. With respect to
the latter part of the question they had had no report lathe
Colonial-office of such prooseeint He might add that hie
noble friend at the head of the lonial-office was folly sen-
sible of the objectionable ehersorer of this losialaticre wader
ordinary circumstances, but be was aware that an almost
similar act had been in operation for some years past in the
neighbouring colony of Victoria, that law having been
enacted under the old constitution. He also knew that
there was a strong and violent feeling in the colony of New
South Wales against any further increase in that colony of
Chinese males, there being no women in the country of that
nation, and the Chinese males amounting to 21,000, mahout
one-fourth of the whole population of the colony. Under
these circumstances his noble friend did not think that her
Majesty's government ought to enter into a contest with the
colonist on this question, and be did not dyne the
crown to disallow the act, bathe advised the governor of New
South Wales to modify the set in some measure, and ape-
chilly to relax its stringency in the ease of Chinese emigrants
who might come accompanied by their wives and families.

The Witness—Yes, it does. With regard to chloroform,
in nineteen cases out of twenty the idea of poimonieg by
chloroform would never occur to a medical man. If chloro-
form bad been administered to the ehildrea in the shape of
vapour all laces of it would have been gone before the
medic l men saw the bodies. Chloroform taken ma a liquid
is not so poisonous as in vapour.

see nothing out of the ordinary course of procedure. I
would my that a point which might be dwelt upon is the
necessity, in cases where poisoning by chloroform ss res-
pected, of putting all the articles immediately into a mend
with a stopper ; but if these gentlemen had done so ik this
ease, 1 have no doubt wo should still be just in the same
position we are at this moment.
In reply to further questions, Professor Taylor said in

cases examined by Dr. Snow, one-eighth of the mess per
minted quite natural appearances, as of healthy beast, and
in seven-eighths of the cases there was ecogintion of the
lungs more or less. Children would be more Otractible of
poisoning by chloroform vapour than older meows. The
cases which Dr. Snow examined were cases white had died
during the application of chloroform formerly in the hos-
pitals in order to effect cures ; sod in those mess there
would be longer time allowed for congestion than when it
was administered with the intention of causing death. Bat
few came of the latter kind were known to the medical
profession.
Mr. ,Holker intimated that this was the case for the
mown.
Mr. Pope laid that now, feeling no decision oould be come
to upon the matter by the bench, the prisoners, acting
under his advice, would reserve anything they might have
to say until another occasion.
Mr. Ellison sated the prisoners whether they would like
to have the evidence which had been taken mad over is a
collected shape.
The male prisoner, in reply, maid—lt is a matter of little
importance ; I have no desire for it. The female primmer
also said, I say the same.
Mr. Ellison then read over a form to the male prisoner,
in which he was charged, first. with the murder of Mr.'
Mellor, and afterwards with the murder of each of his
children. After the usual caution, in reply to the ques-
tion—Have you anything to say? he replied, " 1.4."
The same charge was then read over to the female prisoner,
and she also replied in the negative to the question from
the bench.
Mr. Ellison then said—You will now both of you stand
committed to take your trial at the next assizes at Liver-
pool for the wilful murder of Evan Mellor. The deposi-
tions in the other charges will be sent up, and any course
which the authorities may think requisite will be taken
hereafter.
Mr. Pope then reminded the bench of the permission
granted the prisoners to have interviews with each other
for the purpose of preparing themselves far their de-
fence. The prisoners had been allowed simply to speak to
one soother, there being intervening between them two
doors, the panels of which appeared to be reimposed of
perforated erne. That was not such an interview as was
contemplated, and he hoped the bench would give such
further directions as would enable them to prepare for
their defence at Liverpool.
Mr. Ellison said the prisoners would be removed to Kirk-
dale to-night.
Mr. Watson Beaver, surgeon, of Manchester, was present
to give evidence, if necessity, on the part of the prosecu-
tion, but, in consequence of the comprehensive medical tes-
timony of Dr. Taylor and others, it was not thought requi-
site to call him into the witness-box.

from Norfolk, Virginia, immediately after the surrender of
the place, " We are just in time to prevent another crime of

Sergeant Bateman proved that he took the jars containing
the stomachs end intestines of the children to Prolamin
Taylor, of Loudon.
Professor Taylor on examination by Mr. Honker, Ntid—l
I come to the conclusion that there were no appearances of
death from Wand causes. In a ease of natural death, I
should expect to find some causes. I have examined in
thirty years, about 400 ewes, and have always foiled in
cases of natural death some natural causes for death. I
am unable to decide between chloroform or entreaties as
being the cause of death, but I should my death has been
rained by the vapour of chloroform, or some forced stop-
page of respiratioo. I have no reason to suppose these
deaths were sudden, except from that of my own
erahisation and from the medical evidence I thee
heard to-day. In cases of rapid suffocation I don't always
expect to find congestion of the brain ,• there is no time
for it. I analysed exceedingly carefully for chloroform.
Chloroform is a vegetable vapour, and if taken in the form ;
of vapour, it adheres to the blood, but can by the process
we use be separated from the blood at the temperature at
which chloroform passes into vapour ; and a slight particle,
such as cannot be detected by the sight, can by that method
be detected. It is often in camel suffocation difficult to say,
from the small appearances, whether death has been curd
by an obstruction of respiration, or by a poisonowe
vapour. The appearances of the children in this ems me
exactly like those which came before the profanes thirty
years ago, when dead bodies were taken to diesecting-reems,
and much alarm was created, but that led to =by tie-'
portant discoveries. I cannot draw any distinctiou between
the effect of chloroform and sufforation. In the eras lof
alai/rain, it would be possible to detect it if the snap&
of the viscera were made within 24 hours ; but, in the ere
of a boy who died in the hospital from chorofonn, we scald
find no trace 48 hours afterwards.
Crossexamined—l come to the conclusion that the chil-
dies died simultaneously, from the medical evidence which
I have heard to-day ; and I may date that the yin:ease
presented the same appearances after death as if death had
taken place about the same time.
Mr. Pope-1 understand you are unable to give any die.
Coot opiate* as to any cause of death?
The Witoese-1 do not say "se to any rause," but I
might form an opinion. There are some cues which are
very obscure.
Mr. Pope—ln this particular case do you feel at liberty
to express any distinct opinion a to what was the cease of
death
The Witless —I cannot separate the possilde meet of
chloroform administered as vapour from the siesta of suf-
focation. I think death has been caused by OOP or the
other. I cannot account for the death in any other way.
The appearances are only consistent, in my opinieni. with
poisoning by chloreforrn, or suffecatiou. Of eases I need
hardly say there are other yappers besides &keen= that
would destroy life ; but these vapours could be detested by
their odour much longer than chloroform. Death by in-
haling charcoal would be a long proems, bat if it pawn's
head were dipped in carbonic acid, death would be tartan-
taneous. I wish to explain that poisose which eperste only
on the lungs leave scarcely any marked appearance co the
body ; in that respect they differ from poems given down
the throat. In the case of a child of 12 being suffocated,
one would expect to find marks of montane* ; bet if the
child were asleep, or in bed, when suffocated, I should not
expect to find such marks.
Mr. Honker—lna case where the mouth is closed, and
the chest compremed, would you expect to find congestion?
The Witnese—No. That is the way in which the act of
bushing was carried 00. If the mouth is covered and the
chest compressed at the same time it very soon destroys life,
and there is no trace of congestion.
Mr. Bolker—l believe you have attended to the et deuce.
In your opinion were the post-mortem and other examina-
tions conducted properly, and as they generally are
The Witneee--Yes.
Mr. Bother—And that remark applies to all the gentle.
