The police came, and it wee their opinion that no robbery

Mr. Blakey, of 23, Argyletreet, King'smom proved
that he had known the prisoner since 1854, when she lived
r housekeeper to Captain Mawer, of
.Boston, end he re-
lumbered her coming toile. in London in 1855. At first she
was in good circumstances, but towards the end of that year

herds came to him to &mouses to him the death of Dixon,
end subsequently brought him ieformation of the death of
Mrs. Somas. She did not state of what Mrs. Seems had
died.
Dr. Wheelhome deposed that he was a surgeon, and re-
sided in GuildfortLetreet, Russell-square. About two
meths or six weeks before the death el Mrs. Somme, he
MIS called in by the prisoner to see Dixon two de before
his death. The prisoner told him that Dixon bad bean ill

Examination continued—To the Met of witness's belief
Dixon's lungs were not in the least affected. Besides the
pain in his body, he was cramped, end had violent retch-
lugs. All these symptoms might have been producd

would be likely to produce all the symptoms he found to
exist in the cue of Mrs. Somas when he was salmi in to
attend her on the Friday preceding her death.
Mir Sarah Scenic., another daughter of the deceased,
was next examined, and corroborated the evidence
Of bee sister in its leading particulars. In 'd-
ekko, she proved, that during the Thursday she
saw the prisoner give her mother brandy with egp
mixed up to it, which the prisoner prepared and brought
up with her ; sod her mother was no better after taking
it, for the sickness continued. This mixture of eggs and
brandy was administered three times by the prisoner, end it
might be oftener, but ellerss did not recollect at what in-
tervals. Her mother did DOt object to take the mixture,
but complained frequently of
,thirst, and called for tea,
which witness prepared for her.
In emes-examination the wither mid her attention was
first drawn to this prosecution by reading the vitriol case,
sod she immediately thought the party accused was Ma.
Wilson, the prisoner. With respect to her mother, witness
had never suspected that the prisoner had done it, but when
she read the vitriol cam she felt certain of it.
Mary Riley, a charwoman, who had worked for
the deceased for year., proved that on the day before
the death of Mrs. Somme, she went to that lady's house
and the , who was in attendanceon her, said the
deceased had emptied out her own slope.
Mrs. Elise F. Mathews deposed that she had known the
deceased for nearly 20 years, and had been on friendly
terms with bee. She had taken tea and spent the evening
with her on the Tueeday prior to her death, when she me

of the room in her pocket, took her up stairs
and showed her the body. Witness remarked how bad the
corpse looked, upon the agonised appearance of the hoe, and
the fact of the hands being clenched, as all isdicating
.great
suffering, and said it was very shocking. The primer
remarked, in • vary peculiar way, "Tea, poor dear, but you
do not know all. Witness mid, "'What do you mean by
saying not know all r on which the prisoner replied, " The
man, the tom, I mean." The prisoner then proceeded, with
the most mysterious air, to say that the deceased had formed
• connexion with • man to whom die ma about to be
married serf shortly, and that the man bad deceived
her with regard to his cimmatemes, after bor-
rowing large sums of money from her, which
bad amid her peat grief. The prisoner stated
that the deceased received letters from this man once or
twice a week ; but, to keep the matters profound secret from
her detainees, the letters always came addreeeed in her
(prisoner's) name. She added that another letter would
come with the old tele, and mentioned the time it would
arrive.
Mr. Norton—When the prisoner mid that this grief
affected the deceased, did she my anything about the de-

Witness—No, not • word, but she spoke In a very sig.
Westin manner and mysterious way.
Examination resumed—Witness went down to tea with
the daughter, when the prisoner, who appeared to have been
out, brought in • Mee bottle. bell full amnia liquid, with •
label on it marked "cough mixture," which she mid she had
