Mr. R. Wallis, surgeon, Hackney-read, said that he,
five o'clock. He had not attended him professionally.
He was dead on his arrival. He had examined the body
and observed no external marks of violence. There was
great lividity in the neck and shoulders. The heart was
extremely flabby, showing disease. The left ventricle
was much thickened, which would greatly impede its
natural functions. The lungs were also much gorged
with carbonised blood, which would lead to apoplexy.
This was the cause of death. The extreme apoplectic
condition of the lungs was quite sufficient to account for

ON THE CAPE WAR,
Mankind had long disputed at the Cape
About the Devil's colour and his shape;
The English held that he was black as night,
The Hottentots asherted be was white;
But now they split the differcnt.e. rind say
They're both quite satisfied the Devil's Grey.
