IHR POPLAR NOILDIX.
(Continued from yesterday's Brprtss.)

Dr. Webb, examined by Mr. Welaby—l am the medical
dime of the western datrict of the Polder Union. la con-
sequence of as order of the reboring other I weal to see the
deceased as the evening of the alio of May, between eleven
and twelve o'clock. Mr. (with, my partner, was present.
Ths couatimance of the deceased presented an appraise") of
great anxiety, and she told me she felt Ilt first on the reel-
, one night aster tektite some coffee, sad tint sits had maned
, from vomitieg and purging ever since. I knew that my
partner, Ur_ Smut, had prescribed oum and calomel to
the deceased, sad continued thpiat treatment. At
first I thought the disease was a violent attack
of dierntet. On the next day the deputed appeared better,
but on Thursday the symptoms all returned m an aggra-
vated form, and the deceased also complained of a burning
sensation in the throat. The prisoner aunt to my surgery
on the Wednesday, and said he wished to speak to me pet-
' vainly, and he then bead that his wife had been suffering for
two years from e certain &seams I told him that would not
wawa for her symptoms, and she was either suffering from
sold or from some irritant. On Thursday the mother of the
&Oohed brought me some vomit, which I locked up. On
• Thursday the deceased wee in • hopeless condition, and on
Friday she wee perfectly aware that such was the case. I
then asked her how she came to take the coffee, and she said
" he" gave it to her, and It was very bitter. Oa the Monday
after the death I and Mr. Smith made a poet mortals
examination of the body of the demand. [The wh-
ams then described the appearances that presented
theme/vas on .the stomach and latestinet of the
deceased, and tied that certain portions of the body
.ftad
the vomit were afterwards handed by him to Dr. Letheby.)
There wee Doan mattes of a most acrid kind la the stomach,
and in my opinion the death of the demised was oecesiemsd
by the Magni/dreams of some ,irritant paimm. I form thin
opinion from the statement of the deceased hen& and the
symptoms, and also from the fact that the matter in the
stomach of the deceased upon being applied to the teas of
Dr. Letheby, produced • blister and inilasumation which lasted
two days, and upon being applied to my own loops it oo-
cnioned • tingling and numbness which continued for
tweedy mamas I em unable to nay what this irritant
matter was, and it may have been either caatkarides or
croton of, or a combination of come other ingredients.
Crossamenined—There had been a pod deal of
bowel complaint In the neighbourhood at this time,
and at first I thought this was the dimes under
which the deceased was suffering. I approved of the treet.
meat of Mr. Smith in prescribing calomel and opium. The
symptoms to some extant were consistent with a cue of Eng-
lish cholera, as well as with one of irritant poison. The symp-
toms were also osseistent • ith a disease called enteritis.
Eateries would be produced by soma irriAnt. I agree in
the opinion expressed in a scientific work by Dr. Rogers,
that morbid appearances in the stomach should not be taken
as indications of the administration of poison, unless poison
is discovered, and that ordinary.inflamoration would some-
times proclaim such appearances; but in this awe the post
mortem appearances wen very different to those exhibited in
naps of o reed nary inflammation. I agree also with the opi-
nion expressed in Dr. Chrystyson's work upon poisons,
that the symptoms of cholera are almost exactly the
mama as in the case of an Irritant poison, but
in thin cue my opinion is very mach affected by
the fact that the deceased was in perfect health down to the
time of her taking the coffee, with her corn.
plaint of its taste, and her (wing takes ill almost
immediately afterwards. I believe the death in
this cue was occasioned b the administration of some
have
acrid vegetable irritant. I never attended my ether
cues where the death was supposed to have originated from
a vegetable irritant. Such an ingredient as motes ail would
be insoluble in either coffee or water. I was aware that the
deceseed had been confined a month before, std her exposure
to wetorcoldwould be Hid ,to cause,peritoneel iallammeties,
but the symptoms of that disorder would be very different to
thus exhibited by the deceased. If the deceased had takes
cold on the Sunday before her death, the stoppage of the milk
on the following Tuesday would be a very likely cit.-
. aunetence to occur. In that ease the milk would
be absorbed into the system' and would cause puerperal
fever and generate poison in the system, and it
had happened in many inseams that a dissector had lost his
life while operating upon such a pedant, la consequence of
the poison entering the system by a very small puncture. I
as conceive that by some process of nature a piano may
be pnerated in the system which would canoe the death of
itaimels if admiaistered to them, but I have never seen such
es instance. I consider It possible that the secretions in the
body of • deceased person, where there is no suspicion of
pim a. might cause death to any animal to whom they were
administered. I also believe that the euide and secretions of
the body undergo extraordinary modifications and changes in
certain awe, and that these changes, ix many instances, ne-
wt be accounted for. Drinking a quantity of cold water would
have the drool of deranging the system, and might pro-
duce many of the symptoms exhibited in this case.
The eating of sausages, if in • state of fermentation, I have
also known to produce most deleterious effects upon the
preens partaking of them. The saalysie did not take place
until arrant days alter the death of the deceased. The vomit
presented something of the appearance of bile. The taste
of bile is anything but plasma; and in the act of vomiting
It would be likely to cause a very unpleasant sensation la the
throat. The body was exhumed about three weeks after
death, and at this time the process of decomposition had est
in, and it was after this that portiArs of the viscera were sob-
jec led to further chemical examination.
Re-examined—The fact of • poisonous oil being discovered
in the stomach would not at all go to allow that it had been
administered in that form. The disease of gastro-enteritis

her the symptoms had improved, and vomiting

Cries-examined—The suppression of the milk sometimes
canoed very serous miectret to a woman, and in some In-
stances It was the came of puerperal favor. There was no-
thing in the symptoms he first observed to indicate that the
patient was suffering from any other deesse than mucous
inflammation. Witoms had weer made a paebmorteen exa-
mination in the case of a death by poison.
Dr. Letheby, examined by the Solicitor-General—l am
professor of chemistry at the Louden Hospital, and
medical officer to the City of London. Four
bottles were brought to me on the Bth of Jura, containing
portions of the viscera of the deceased and the vomit, and
part of the c.ntents of the stomach. I made a chemical
analyse of the whole of the contents of the bottles. The
stomach was very much softened and infiamed. There wits
no odour of an volatile poison, and I searched for mistral
poison., but could not find any. I then searched for organic
poisons, and from a quantity of treacle-looking liquid I ob.
taleod about a drop cat an oily liquid, which I lemon to be ex-
ceedingly acrid in teats, and upon applying it to my lip it
produced great pain, and in a quarter of an hour several blis-
ters were funned, sad the neat day there was a scab which
remained two or three days. Upon examining the vomit
I discovered in it some of exactly the same description of
oily matter I had done beton', and there wee also some
in the content* of the stomach. I could not determine
the nature of this acrid matter, and I requested that the body
might be exhumed. that I might ham further materials fur
examination, but this did use lend to say result. Ths total
quantity of acrid matter that wee obtained was about tour
gram. At one time I thought this matter might have been
cantharidea, but from experiments I made I sin metalled it
' was not. I triad every mire acrid I could obtain, and acme
of them produced a similar effect to this, except crotou oil. I
administered a small portion of the twitter to a guinea-pig,
and it wee dead la tea minutes. 7. thee extracted it again
from the body of the goinerp4g, and administered It to some
sparrows. One of Mom died in four minutes, another in a
quarter of an hour. It appeared to occasion death by coming
a spasm of the throat, Ned I gave some treacle and water to
another bird before administering it, and the bird wee
violently sick in a quarter of an hour, and died the next day.
Although I cannot stabs what the nature of the ingredient.
was. I am satisfied that it was an acrid poison of a very
deadly character. I have had a great deal of experience io
mess of cholera and derriere, and in toy judgment the death
In thin case did not arise from either of three causes, or from
any natural disease, but from the administration of some
kivigis irritant. 1 have formed this opinion alter delibera-
tion, and I have no doubt upon the subject. I never hoard
or teed in all my experience of a matter of the description I
have mentioned being generated spontaneously in the stomach.
Crow-exazioned—Tole conclusion was arrived at from a de-
scription of the symptoms and the appearance. presented upon
the post-mortem examination. I do not think I should bare
come to the same conclusion solely upon the &receipt ion of
the aymptome. In my opinion no post•nionecu action could

The case did not present any features of public Interest.
The defendant had some time before July In t►is year, pur-
chased a lodging-house, awl failing, wee made insolvent,
the lady from whom she bought the hones being her de-
taining creditor. Whilst she wee confined in Whitecrose-
street, sad previously to the broker of the court going to her
lodgings, she wrote to some one who had been in her service
to remove certain things belonging to her which bad not
been asserted In her sobedale. Subsequently the defendant
made some statements which led to the discovery of the pro-
perty, which was veined at about 301.
TIN jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Thomas Barnes, 43, bricklayer, was indicted for publishing
a false and malicious libel °oncoming one Henry Cromwell,
and bowleg the emus to be false.
Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted.
The prosecutor, Mr. enameller, is en ironmonger, and it
appeared that the defendant had up to 1865 been in the habit
of doing what brlcklayerlug the prosecutor required for his
customers. About that time the defendant got into difficulties
and went through the insolvent court, and prosecutor had
misted him to do so, but after that time be, wishing to bring
hie own era into the trade, had ceased to employ the defend.
ant, who from that time down to the present had continued
to army him for the publication of a placard:containing the
libel cataplelned of. It contained a statement of the differ-
ences between prosecutor and defendant, and said that the
pimento', after deducting 10 per cent. commission on all the
work which defendant did, used tomer him (deirleat) send
him in a second bill considerably more in amount than what
defendant actually charged, and that prosecute, need to and
it to his customers as defendant's charge, and pocket
the difference between that and the true amour,
r well as the 10 per cent. Theme bills the
delindant had sent to the prosecutor's customers, and had
ale* posted them about Welbsck-street, where prosecutor
lived, and also at Harney, where his men lived. Proceedings
had once been taken against defendant, who had mods an
apology and promised not to continue hie conduct if proceed.
lags were stayed, but had broken that agreement.
The defendant in a very excited manner assured the court
that it was all true, and headed up to the Common &dart
a mass of letters, some in the prosecutor's own handwriting,
asking him to make out a second bill in excess of his (de-
fandent's) Moe charges.

The Common Berjeant sake& prosecutor how it was that
he, having had • correct bill made out, sent another,
charging more?
The prosecutor said that he had to find materials, and the
second bill waa made out according to the surveyor's
pric►book.
The defendant, who bad only pleaded not guilty without
that ofjustification, having been found Guilty,
The Common Serjaint raid he had no doubt that the pub-
lication of the libel was done with malice in law.

.;fl;e-flite seam immediately paid.

Mr. Lewis—l am sure that will answer the purpcse, and
Mr. Flower will pledge his word not to repeat the offence.
Mr. E. Lawie—The court will first allow me to make a few
remarks. Alter the length of time the ofareive placards and
tarlatans have been, to the great annoyance of my clients,
exhibited openly in the defendant's windows, I cannot &dein
the withdraws' of these sammanses. It is necessary that I
should inform yea, sir, that in consequence of Mr. Flower's
strange and nansighbourly proceeding, and the enoourage-
meat given to a 'treat fiddler, two charges have been brought
to this court before Mr. Beadon, and the parsons so charged
were convicted. A crowd being collected in the street, it
could be proved that Mr. Flower, in the excitement conse-
quent on his window exhibitions, sddressed the assembled
pardons front his threshold, calling upon them, howling at
the time, to break Mr. Marlin'. windows, and i window of
plate glee; was broken accordingly is a most deliberate sad de-
tanninedimanner by a sunnier-by. During the air or seven days
the offeneive sketches and attacks were exhibited, Mr. Flower,
it would be shown, had from his doorway indulged in highly
improper expressions and epithets respecting Messrs. Martin
and Putnam, notwithstanding the remarks in this court of
yourself, air, and Mr. Baden. Since which impudent
letters have been sent on the decisions of the chargee, both
to the magistrates adjudicating, and myself as conducting
the evidence. While at this moment I state my clients strong
disposition for negotiating pace from this time forth with
Mr. Flower, I have felt it indiepeneable that the ease *should
not he withdrawn without explaining the groundr;ork of
these summonses, end requiring for better security that Mr.
Flower should enter into his personal recognissnoes for such
period as this court shall direct.
Mr. Lewis—l object to the recognisance on the part of
Mr. Flower.

Mr. Bingham—Then I shall go into all the particulars of
the case. I think the terms for peaceable arrangement very
idr, and they ought to be &mooted. I entertained a hope to
bring your differences to a satisfactory point without going
into proofs in support of the alleged offences, sod will try to
do so still. Mr. Flower, like many others, has evidently
a notion that be has a right to engine or encourage street
rusk, at 9, 10, 11, or even 12 at night as often and for ea
long as he pleases. If so It is a wrongone, and any neighbour
for suppression of that mule has an unquestionable right to
interfere, and insist on the player removing entirely out of
ear-shot. Nor must Mr. Flower suppose, when each is
done by his neighbours, that they are consequently " fit for
treasons, stratagems; end plots." Though street music may
be at all times convenient to him, it Easy very frequently
be most inconvenient to others. This view of the subject
ought never to be forgotten. The law mays street music may
be stopped by any housekeeper or his servant upon reason-
able cause. No doubt eleven at night is • very reasonable
mass, aid music that may compose one may very much dis-
compose another. Tradesmen and others engaged all day in
Weiner are for the most part glad to retire at that hour to
' rest, and numbers so circrimatenved can sleep amid the din
of cart and carriage wheels rumbling along their made, but
not with strains of music or the grinding ot organs within
besting. I will give Mr. Flower credit for suppoeing that
he had a right to call upon the musician in front of his bolus
without consulting his neighbours' feelings, and am Inclined
to make allowance accordingly.
Mr. Lewis—Mr. Flower again says he will give his word not
to act offensively towards Mr. Martin or Mr. Putnam, bat
nothing more, lest a question should arise hereafter affect-
ing his license.
Mr. Bingham—How can it ?
Mr. Lewis—Could it not be settled by simply allowing the
summering to stand over upon his promise P
Mr. Flower—l will give that promise, and will faithfully
keep it on his worship's wish and exposition of the law.
Mr. Lewis—Mr. Plower also hope that It will be stated
publicly that he leaves here without any reproach on his
character. He has a host of swimmers present to testify to
his high respectability.
Mr. Edward Lewis said there could not be a word of im-
putation on Mr. Flower's character on his immediately
ceasing from annoyance to his clients, who on their part re-
quired the withdrawal of offensive epithets and language,
when they would shake hands as friends.
Mr. Lewis—l hope they will cheerfully do so, and live
together as peaceable neighbour*.
The desirable finish ensued, and all the parties withdrew,
Mr. Flower declaring that justice had been done at last, end
handing a sovereign to the poor-box.
