Cross-eamined: The rigidity of the muieles continued
for two or three days after he reeovercl. He experienced no
ill effects from the dose, but, 411 the contrary, he said that
he thought his paralysis was much better.

• J
The Attoruev4aneral: Strychnine vis a matter that is
zenerally media cases in paralysis, I believe, is it not ?
Witness ; Yes, it is used in small doses for the --
purpose of
stimulating the nerves and. muscles. It acts almost entirely
upon these portions of the human frame, and as paralysis
is the result of a torpid action of the nerves and muscles,
strychnine in such cases has a beneficial effect.

The Attorney-General, then addressing the court, said
that the next witness he proposed to c ili would be Dr. Tay-
lor, and as his examination would necessarily occupy some
considerable time, he thought it would not be advisable to

commence bis examination at such an advanced period of
the thy. it being now past five o'clock.

The Lord Chief Justice thought it would be bet er to
postpone the examination of Dr. Taylor until Monday.
Mr. Sergeant Shee said that perhaps he might be excused
for stating that medical witnesses would be called for the
defence, with a view to answer the medical testimonyY
adduced on behalf of the prosecution.
.The court was then finally adjourned to Jlonday morning,
(this day) at ten o'clock, and the jury were taken to the
London Coffee-house, in charge of Mr. Harker, the princi-
pal usher, and two other officers.
A chair was allowed for the use of the prisoner, but he
availed himself very little of the accommodation during the
day, and he generally leaned over the front of the dock, and
?ppeared to take the deepest interest in the proceedings.
i It
is said that during the past two days he was under the idea
that the trial was going favourably for
.him, and he
exhibited a very confident demeanour. During yesterday
and to-day, however, his appearance has changed very con-
siderably, and although the fatigue and excitement of
,the proceedings must no doubt t have considerable effect
upon the prisoner, yet, it is evident. that he is more fully
impressed with the sersaus position in which he stands, and
that he regards the result with the deepest anxiety, which
lie in vain endeavours to disguise.
