prisoner then headed him the draught. It had • thick,
heavy upstream. The deceased supped at the glass in
the wee way he did at the spoon, and be appeared unable S.
teesatrel klunelf. He swallowed the draught, but vomited I
it immeoiate.y ofterwardr, ~nd it appeared t on to smell

hoped the pills had stayed, and he ',arched the utensil
tato which the deceased hail vomited with a quill, and
raid that he could not find them, and he told
me to take the utensil away and empty it care- ,
lolly, and I did so, but could not see any
trace of the pills. After this, the deceased seemed a little
more easy. The sits& lasted alto4ether about half an boar, '
and dunapt the whole of the time be was quite copecious.
When he was recuered he used the prisoner to feel how
hie heart bur, mad Palmer went to his bedside, sad put hie
hand either to his heart or the side of his face, and he said it
cos all right. I lett the demised about three o'clock in the
moraine, sad at this time the prisoner was sitting in the
easy chair, end I believe be was asleep. About eft o'clock
the same morning I saw the deceased again, and he told me
that Mr. Palmer had left him abut • quarter pest Ave
o'clock. I asked him how be was, sad he replied that he
was so worn, and he then asked me if I had ever
sun say ou in nett um, si he was the
night Wore, and I told his I sever bad. He
then said, he was mare I should never like to an any one
in sink &gulags's, and 1 enquired what he thought was
the inase. He replied that it ea, through some pills that
Palmer had pivea kis him about halt-part tee. The de-
ceased was quite ansposed and quiet at this time, and there
was so jerking or ocamilsioes about him, but his eyes
looked very wild. About twelve o'clock the deceased desired
me to send the boots over to Mr. Palmer to know whether
he might have a cup of coffee. A menage was brought
beak that be might, cad that Mr. Palmer would be ever
immediately. When I took up the coffee the prisoner was
in the room and I gave ham the a-ffee, and he tasted it, to
no that it was not too strong. Mr. Jones elate to the
tan shout three o'clock, and I saw him in the
deemed's room, and the prisoner after this told
me that Cook had vomited the coffee. I saw
Cook several timu after this, cad he appeared
In very good spirits, and talked about getting up the neat
maralag, and wished the barber to be sent for to shave him.
I did not see the deemed later than half-past tan o'cl eh on
the Tuesday 'sight, and the prisoner was then In his bed
room, and I gave him some toast and water for the
dunned, and the prisoner said he did not want anything
mon. I eat up in the kit-hon on purring to as. how
Mr. Cook writ oa, and I heard the bell of Mr. Cook's
room rang violently about ten minute. before twelve
o'eioek, and I went up immedistrly. Mr. Jones slept
In another bed in deceased's room. I found the de-
emed sitting up, and Mr. Joan had his arm mad his
shoalders, apparently supporting him. The deceased, when
be saw me, told me to fetch Mr. Palmer directly, and I west
over to his house and rang the surgery bell, and the
priesau IMMO to the window almost la an natant, and he
sound • small easement, and I told him to um* over to
Mr. Cook directly, as he was in much the same state ash. was
the night before. The prisoner made some reply, and I
went back to the Talbot Arms, and I. • minute or two the
prisoner ma. into Mr. Cook's room, and the Ant Vilna he
said was that he did not think he had ever dressed so
quickly in his lift. At this time Mr. Joins was still sap-
potting the deceased. I went out of the bed-room and re.
maimed upon the landing about a minute or two, when the
prisoner camp out, and I observed to him that the desseind
appeared in the same state he was in the night before, and
Palmer replied that he was not so ill by a Aided?
part. He then went to his own house and re-
tuned la a very abort times and went into the de.
enteed's bed room. I then heard the deemed ask to be
tensed over on his right side, aid very shortly after
this I bard that he was dead. I saw the prisoner feeling
the deueied's puke, aid he said to Illr. Jones ' The pales
is gone." Mr. Joule this put his fain to titia heart of the
dummied, and when he had dose so, he lifted up both hi,
bands hat did sot speak. The pritmer then told me to
fetch Mr. Bamford, and he arrived very sou afterwards,
and when be um down he told me that Mr. Cook was
dead, and that he meatiest whim he arrived. I was told after
this that the priseue woad me, and I wait Into the de-
imaeare bedroom. The prisoner was than alone. I said
to him, " Palmer; It is not possible that Mr. Cook is dead?"
sad he replied, " Ira ; he I. dead." He then uked tais
who I thought would wan to lay him out, and I mentioned
some women whom I thought he knew, and he raid
they wen just the women, sad he told me to fetch
them. While Mr. Cook was saying at the Talbot
Arms I mw a book, whisk I eappond to be his betting-
book. He had it with him whin he stopped at the Talbot
Arms before, on his way to Liverpool room. I saw this
book in the deasesed'e bedroom the Right before he died ;
it was on the dressing table. The prisoaer was Ia the bed-
room the tune night, and I never sew the book again. I
have searched for it, but cannot And it anywhere. About
tea minutes after the deceased had died, and while Mr.
Joins was out of the room, I saw the prisoner in the act of
seantiing the pockets of Mr. Cook's out. I also saw him
search ander the pillow and bolster. Before Mr. Cook died
I saw some letter. lying on the maatelpieoe, bat I have

Orthe case below- on, liertsell nor Price
