have had the slightest effect ; end although the symptoms
continued, this, witness wee suppund to hays boned the
opinion that he should not have dreamed of the *Ai-
m, of pAson, and should hare considered the Mame
a perfectly natural one. It was for the jury to jedge of the
aka of such testimony, bet he toast say that it appeared to
De of a very extraordinary cherac.er. The learned judge
then called the attention of the jury to the circurne'snom
under erti;ll the evacuation wee obtained by Dr. Bird, and
he mid there roma be no doubt that he bad not told the truth
to the prisoner when he Wormed hits that hie object in

not help observing that It affords:l the um of this topic that
the magistrate thought so lightly of the charge that he
dismissed the prisoner without any marity. He did not

allowed to go at large on the Monday, ea it gave him
opportunity of making away with any place that
might have been In his possession, but there wee
always this observation to be made, that he was in the
house by himself the whole of the Monday night,

point that had been urged on behalf of the
primer, that no poison of any kind had bees
traced to his poraession. If, however, the jury should be
Wished that the deceased lady died of poison of some
kind or other, asd that this poison most have bun
