was brought up yesterday at Lambeth Police-court, for
further examination touching the death by poison of Mrs.
Emma Biomes, in October. 1856. Hr. G. F. Whidborne,
the surgeon who attended the deceased in her last ill
deposed that she was • person of good constitution, else
excelleot health, and during the two or three yeas he d
known her well before her fatal illness she had never
needed medical advice. Her symptoms aored to be
therm of an attack of cholera, and be hid treated bar
accordingly. He did not recollect or believe that be bad
gives the prisoner any instructions to administer the medi-
cine herself, onto keep it in her owe room. The medicine
he sent MY not of • poisonous character, and there was not
the slightest necessity for auy particular caution in its
administration. It was an aromatic mixture, commonly
called "chalk mixture." When be ow the deceased sink-
ing, he expressed to the prisoner his surprise at the course
the disorder had taken, and be refused to give a certificate
of death without • post-mortem examination. He made
the peel-mortem examination for the inquest, and found.
that the cause of death was inflammation of the peritoneum
and bowels. He did not believe the inflammation was the
natural consequence of the choleraic complaint. The
appearances after death and the symptoms which preceded
it might have been caused either by • vegetable or a mineral
moos. The matelots of the stomach had been taken to
tioieenity College by his pupa, who is now in India ; but
