when the following evidence was adduced :

about half-past seven in the morning, a doe of mine was barkin;
at a strange cat, which had got into the cellar; I endeavoured t i
drive the cat into the street with a brush I had in my hard,
but instead of the cat going into the street, it ran into an ad.
Joining cellar, -and got under an oven ; it then ran into the
back cellar, where deceased wait washing; I again followed it. and
the dog, accompanied by another, ad-o came into the back cellar,
and endeavoured to bits the cat ; the cat ran under the sink ;
ordered my eons to take the dogs away ; the deceased said," Poor
thing! I'll save it from the dogs, by taking hold of her, and put it
into the street ;" deceased then laid hold of the cat, and she imme.
diately tried out, " It's biting my fingers;" deceased then forced
its mouth open with her other hand ; it sent its fangs into the back
part of the forefinger of the right hand ; deceased immediately
commenced washing ; the wound was not droned at the time;
decease) washed all that day ; the next morning deceased came to
examinant's house ; the finger was much !Oilmen ; deceased went
to Mr. Goadsby's, the druggist, who recommended leeches to be
applied ; leeches were applied th.ee or four times; the finger me.
Untied had for a week ; frequently complained of pain in her arm,
up to the shoulder ; has worked one day a week, up to last Thurs.
day. with examinant; has frequently complained of pain in the
finger to examinant,; the cat appeared not to be full grown, and
was nearly a black one ; believes it was not the same cat that bit
Mr Vaughan, who died of hydrophobia, some time ago.
Dr. Fernley examined.—On Fiidav last, in the morning, I woo
called in to visit the &ceased, whom I found sitting by the fire, and
labouring under the usual symptoms of hydrophobia. I directed
what I though; was necessary. I visited her again about two, the
same slay. On my second cisit I was accompanied by my son,
Dr. J. Barnsley, and 111 r. Barton, surgeons, all of whom coincided
with me as to the nature of the complaint. I again visited the de-
mised, about four, the same afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Hull,
as well as the other medical gentlemen. We visited her three or
four times a day, up to the period of her demise. Deceased could
not lie down at all, owing to the spasms affecting the throat. The
body was opened by me, assisted by Mr. Turner, and in the pre-
Fence of Dr. Hull, my son, Dr. James Bardaley, Slr. Deltaic:err,
Mr. Barton, and many other medical gentlemen.
The body was strictly examined by the medical men present, but
no morbid appearances were found, except in the brain, which ap-
peared to be slightly inflamed; and the stomach also displayed
distinct tracts of inflammation.

A Juryman inquired if any force had been used to cause the pa-
dent's death, which was answered in the negaiive.
The Jury, without hesitation, brought in a verdict, "That the
deceased died of hydrophobia, in consequence of a bite from a cat."
