This is found beneficial in certain systems. I again
repeat, however, that from what I have seen of the
young lady, I cannot found any decided opinion
without examining the brain and spine. I have seen
death occasioned with less inflammation and general
disorganisation of the stomach than appeared in
this instance, always excepting the appearances in
the back, for on no occasion have I seen a hack in
such a state. The inflammation, therefore, I say, in
the stomach was sufficient to have caused death, and
if I had found no other appearances than those in the
back, I should say that the state of that part was
also sufficient of.itself to have produeed death.
Mr. Adolphus—Taking all appearances and all
circumstances into consideration, would you say that
death was occasioned by the wound in the back ?
Dr. Thomson—Taking my means of information
from the examination I was enabled .to make, I
should say ; but I should, I once more repeat,
have been able to state a decided opinion if I had
been allowed to examine the spine and brain.
A Jurorlf you had seen the deceased 10 days
ago, perfectly well, would you have caused, by arty
application, such a state of the back ?—Dr. Thom-
son—No, unless I wished to kill my patient. Such
a thing was never dune by any medical man that I
know of.

Juror—Supposing the young lady to have a sister
who was consumptive, and that she herself, although
in good health, waa afraid of being similarly afflicted,
and applied to you, would you have produced such
a sore ?—Dr. Thomson—Gel tainly not. I would
never introduce such a sore for the purpose of pro-
(hieing counter-irritation.
Mr. Witkley—lf you had proceeded to the exami-
nation of the brain and spine, and found no disease
there, what would you Oen have thought the' cause
of death ?—Dr. Thomson—The disease in the baCk.

The Coroner said the only way would he to have
the spine and brain extttnitird now, if the Jury
thought fit.

Dr. Thomson, in continuation, said he never :saw
such a sore as that in the deceaSed's back, although
he had known red hot irons to be applied to the
skin to produce counter-irritation. He wished very
much to pursue the examination of the body.
The witness here produced a strip of the skin
which he had taken from the deceased's back, and
which was handed round to the Jury, and inspected
by the numerous medical men present, Dr. Thomson
observing that any medical gentlemen would perceive
that there was no slough m it, nor was there any
disorganization.

The Coroner here observed again, that the only
way would be, to have the examination of the body
completed, and it was a great pity that any one in-
terfered to prevent its completion.
At the request of Dr. Thompson, the prescription
of Mr. Brodie, prepared by Mr. Foulkes, was pro-
duced and read.

Mr. Foulkes stated, that the preparation was in-
tended to allay, and nut to irritate. He made up no
other prescription._

The Coroner asked if any one could give further
information us to what medicine the deceased had
taken, and was answered in the negative.
A Juror observed, that it was in evidence that Mr.
Long never gave his patients " doctors' stuff."
At the suggestion of several of the Jury, the evi-
dence of Mrs. Itoddis given on Saturday was read
over, and at its conclusion—

Dr. Thomson rose, and with much earnestness
said, " After hearing the evidence which has just
been read, I do hope, Sir, and I feel myself 'called
on, for the honour of the profes,ion, and by my feel-
ings as a man, to I ternatid that you will allow t►te to
pursue my examination of the billy."—(A buzz of
approbation run round the room.)

• The Coroner—Then we must adjourn again, as Inn.
derstand the young lady has been buried in Moorfields.
After a lengthened totiversailon of no interest, it
was arranged that the body should be again examined
by Dr. 1 homson, asSisted by two other medical
gentlemen, and that the inquest should be adjourned
till 'Wednesday next.—Adjourned accordingly.
Mr. Long was in the neighbourhood of the house
during the investigation, but he did not enter the
inqueid-room.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

LA MBETILSTItEET.

George Roblin andliam Jones, two well-
known body-snatchers, were yesterday pla:ed at
the bar, before Messrs. WALKRIt and WVATT,
charged with having attempted to steal the body of
a female, Dinned Brown, from the burial-ground at
the rear of the Rev. Mr. Read's chapel, in Cannon-
street-road, St. George's in the East.

A. policeman of the K. division, No, .59, stated,
that on the preceding, night, between eleien and
twelve o'clock, while on duty in Cannon-street-
road, he heard a 'singular sort of noise come from
the burial-ground behind the chapel of the Rev.
Mr. Reid. Suspecting that some improper charac-
ter had got in there he went for assistance, and, on
he and two other officers entering the burial-ground,
they observed the prisoners run, and get over a
small fence into a timber yard adjoining, where they
secured them. On subsequently examining the
place horn where they ran, they found the grave of
a female who had been interred on the day before
lartly opened. They also found a :tuck,. shovel, a
ong iron screw for opening the coffins, and other
implements, such as are used by resurrection-men.
The prisoners when called on, declined saying
any thing in defence; but one of them, Robins,
hoped their Worships would be us lenient to him
as they could, en account of his having a wife and
six children solely dependent on his exertions for
their support.
Brawn, the husband of the deceased female, here
remarked, that the circumstance of the prisoner
Robins having a wife and family should have in-
duced him to have some respect for the technics of
others, tie had, he said, expended nearly his last
shilling in the decent interment of his wife, whose
grave the prisoner had sought to despoil.
The Magistrates, after some further consultation,
committed the prisoners for three months each to
the House of Correction, for being found in an en-
dined building at an unseasonable hour of the
night, without being able to give a satisfactory ac-
count,of themselves.

John Nolan, a sawyer, was charged with being
drunk in the streets on the preceding morning.
" Well," said the Magistrate, " what have you
got to say for yourself?"—" Why, your worship,"
replied No " I'unfortunutely, have got a trouble-
some wife. On Sunday morning she began to jaw
me, so, in order to get out of her way.! went out, and
I acknowledge that the thought of her annoyance
made me take adrop extra."
Magistrate—Well, you are now discharged; but
I would advi.e you for the future to resort to some
other means of getting rid of the annoyance than
getting drunk, and rolling about the public streets.
