RICHMOND, FRIDAT Arraittroom.
At the petty seesioes held at the court-hones,
Itlckeeee, this =raise, Thomas Smethurst, described as
a samosa, WY ega4 placed at the bar, charged with the
wilful murder of Isabella Bauble, by adadeisterlag snail

Mr. Serjcatat BeDentine again appeared for the premes-
tion, mad observed that oa the last OCCSiIUIi he had care-
ts ly abstained from away observations relative to the medical
testimony which might have injured the prisoner; bat he was
now in • position to produce that evidence, which ha waejos-
tilled in laying, was of an extraordinary nature, and contained
• development of medical science of a novel descriptios.
Eterpsat B•llreathed then alluded to the fact that home-
dia,ely after the prisoner was apprehended a large number
of bottles found Is the house were taken away and for-
warded to Praises, Taylor. That gentleman was sow
present, and be (6erjeaat BsU•stlae) would Melly
point out the important facts which had teen
elucidate!. Amongst the bottles was one which
Professor Taylor found to metals a quantity
of chlorite of potash, a most destructive salt of • highly is-
flasonsable nature, and which wee used more or less in the
manufacture of larder costchm. The effect of this
substance taken internally would be to act upon the kid-
says, produce nausea, &c. Os further search Professor
Taylor found the small bottle, which he (fferjmnt
Balleattae) held in his hand. That bottle was use
which bad bees mat to the deceased by Dr. Julius, contain-
ing quialse mixture. It now contained • perfectly calendar
liquor, and on complete analysis, Prohesoe Taylor de-
dewed this fearful mull —He censored the chloride
of potash by means of warm water, and this
having been dose, he was able to eliminate arse-
nic from that which was left. This mixture of
chloride of potash and arsenic would be pleasant to the Mate,
mad appear to a whim mixture, but the effect would
he to lodge the arsenic most certainly and Wally upon the
sesta el the stomach, and the poison world the more quickly
become introduced Into the system. Dr. Taylor had
ales minutely amenined the stomach aid ether or-
gans, bat ha did not lid armole, nor did he ex-
pect to end any after making the discovery of
the mixture of anemia ant chloride of potash. After
more minutely detailing the peculiar effect, of
this mixture upon the system, fferjeant Ballantine
stated that it was the opinion of Dr. Taylor that
the whol4 of the symptoms and details hitherto investigated
want those of the administration of rime is regular sad con-
tinued doses, sot immediately acting on the system, bat pro-
ducing richness, irritation, inflammation and ultimata morttl-
cation and death.

Dr. Julius was then examined at length, and repeated his
keener evidence.

By Mr. Odfard—He had a record of every prescription
he awe the deceased. At first he attended her sloes. Tho
violent rev-hinge were after taking food or medicines, and
Dr. Smethurst has administered it in hie presence. He had
wear administered to her food or medicines, but when it wee
gives her la his presence, it wee by Dr. Smethurst. When
he saw Dr. Todd, on the Thursday, he told him it was •
severe cam of vomiting and dianho3s, sad wee en agent
as.. He told him what he had done. He didnot describe the
complaint, became be wanted his opinion. Dr. Smethurst gave
the details of the come to Dr. Todd,and sae them occastely.
Dr. Todd's prescription was perfectly to accordance with
his treatment for Onto( irritation.

Dr. Died was thencaried, and, his depositions prestonaly
gimp having bees mad over, said he had been 25
years en practice, and bad considerable experience in bowel
complaints. He was at • loss to amount for the symptoms
she exhibited. It wee not dysentery. In cases of dye's-
tory he would expect to find fever, though there might
pesdbly be a ease without it. She was suffering from
peter enteritis. The symptom@ were such se would be
gamed by taking irritating piteous. Aramaic or antimony would
owe them. Hs did not discover any trees@ of disease in the
womb. In describing the oompleint the primmer never alluded
to such • amen. The deceased mots • cotopleint
about her throat in the priemer's presence. She com-
plained of ea mow sensation in her throat
--Me said that it was like • ball in her throat.
Dr. Smethurst suggested this might be caused by hysteria.
and he coincided with him.' He thought that possibly that
might be mined by whet was going on. He should
thiak that would not be such a description as he would
expect from • person under each circumstances. He bad
formed the opinion from all he had witnessed that else died
from the Meek of irritant poison. From the Clasen from
wide It AM wen oelkeing, neither aneede nor antimony could
mirk propriety be given in any form whatever.
It might be Eons on the hoteronpothie principle ;
but, in bhp opinion, it ought net le be given.
