leaving marks which would be very visible. In the case of a
person balancing on a chair I cannot conceive how any
effort to recover would produce such a violent muscular
action of the muscles of the neck as to cans: death. I
don't. think such a thing possible. If the ligament of the
prncessus dentatus was ruptured it might occasion death. If
such an injury had taken place I would have detected it at
once on examining the head. Pulsation ceases immediately after
death. I examined the trunk on or about the 29th Decensber,"
The appearances of the cut incisions were sail as to .i.na!lod
ine to suppose that the other parts had been sepdrtits4 10
mediately after death, the muscles being very much contraete4.
I also inferred that from the bloodless state of the body. Alutl,
lation, I believe, to be a more offensive phrase than amputation,
but it depends upon the sense in which it is used. I
opened the • stomach, and ascertained by looking into it
that there was no injury internally. I found in it some
indigested food—it had a spirituous smell. The stomach
was then .sent to Doctor Hunter Lane. The person
appeared to me to have been a female of about five
feet eight inches. Since then I have ascertained that
she was an inch and a half shorter. She was well formed
externally, strong, and in perfect health, as well as I could

judge.
lie-examined by Mr. BODKIN.--I am quite certain that the
appearances about the eye were the result of an injury inflicter;
during life. I found the swelling also, which is one Of the
symptoms of ecchymosis. That puffing could not have b 8
occasioned by any injury inflicted after death. No blow or
injury on the back of the head could have produced the ecchy-
mosis or other appearances observable about the eye. I never
heard or read of any injury to the spine which caused instant
death without leaving some external marks.
Mr. BODKlN—Looking at all the circumstances, and after
your minute examination of the body, what in your opinion was
the immediate cause of death ? Wituess—On looking at all the
facts, first, the very severe blow on the eye, and that inflicted
during life, and looking at the corresponding brtkise on the
back part of the head ; secondly, the dura mater having
a little sanious effusion on it.---these groups of facts
arc such as to lead me to say that such an injury would be
mortal. But certainly if it had not been so, the cutting of the
neck would have necessarily caused it.
What do you allude to when you say such an injury ? Wit-
ness—l am alluding to the whole group of facts.
That supposition is consequent upon the assumption that the
bruise on the back of the head was caused by the blow on
the eye? Witness—lt is.
[These answers appeared to create a great seusati n in the
Court].
James Hunter Lane—l am a physician and lecturer on che-
mistry. I examined the stomach of the deceased. On opener
inn- the stomach I found it to contain a quantity of meat,
;Sikh I supposed to be either pork or beef, potatoes
and some pastry. There was also a quantity of fluid, the
whole mixture having a spirituous smell. The stomach in its
appearance was healthy. At one part there was a slight redness.
which generally accompanies the process of a healthy diges-
tbn. I could only come to the conclusion that the spirit in
the stomach was neither whiskey nor rum. Upon ex-
posing either whiskey or rum to the atmosphere, it will
lose its odour, but common gin will not. There did not
appear to me to be sufficient spirits in the stomach to produco
intoxication. The digestion appeared to have gone through
half its progress. I should conceive the death to have been
sudden.
Henry Grey, examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—Took the
stomach to Dr. Lane in the same state as I received it from
Girdwood.
Dr. Lane, cross-examined by Mr. PRlCE.—Spirits will
evaporate more in the open air than in the stomach. The
presumption is that nothing had been vomited. The stomach
was not full by any means. I could not say what quantity
had been digested, neither can I say what quantity had
been in the stomach. It was about ten days after the 24th of
December that I examined the stomach. That was a suf-
ficient time for the odour of the spirits to have considerably
escaped.
Mr. AnoLrnes—My Lord, that is the case for the prose-
cution.
The Court and jury and prisoners then retired (1b minutes
to 3 o'clock) for the purpose of taking refreshment.
The case for the prosecution was closed at a quarter to three
o'clock.
There will be no witnesses called for the defence.
( We shall give the Conclusion in a Second Edition.)

It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that
no opposition will be offered by Government to the project so
often and so strongly recommended, for permitting the manu-
facture of Foreign Grain into flour, for exportation only.
There is, therefore, every reason to hope that such a measuro
will soon pass the House of Commons. The agriculturists
cannot possibly sustain any injury by its operation, as the
bonded grain is to be manufactured under lock, and subject to
the Excise supervision, while it is undeniable that great bene-
fits will be derived by the mercantile and shipping intercsts.---

The weather continues very winterly, and although
we are almost in the middle of April, not a single indication
of the " ethereal mildness" of Spring is to be seen or felt. On
the contrary the cold is intense, and cold drying winds, attended
by frost, are felt severely by those who are not in robust
health. The thermometer stood, within doors, yesterday morn-
ing, at 38, only six degrees above the freezing point. In the
country nothing whatever grows ; but the farmers say the wea•
tiler, unseasonable as it is, is very favourable to wheat, in con-
sequence of the ground having been much soddened by the wet-
ness of the winter previously to Christmas. At noon yesterday
it began to snow, but did not continue long, although theat-!
mosphere continued thick and threatening all day. • •

A short time ao, a young woman in Stirling be,
ing delivered of an illegitimate child, the friends proposed to
send it off to its father. This was done ere the little innocent
had ever pressed its mother's bosom ; hut, alas 1 after being
jostled by land and water carriage for 27 miles, in all the ri-
gour of an inclement winter, its brief and unconscious suffer,-
ings were terminated by a death probably more merciful than
the conduct of its parents.—Kihnurnock Journal.
A woman of the name of Barber died on Wednes-
day last in Barrett's-court, Wigmore-street, at the age
111. It is said that the deceased accomplished a journey 09
foot from Liverpool to London in 19 days, being at the time
upwards of 100 years old.
A new process has been discovered at Strasburg by
means of which a white crystallised sugar is produced i 3
twelve hours from beet-root, and which does not require ant'
further refining. This invention is the more curious, 84
neither any acids or chemical agency is employed in this rc"
markable operation, and the use of animal black is entirely
r
dispensed with. It has also the advantage of saving 25 per
cent. in the consumption of fuel. The new process is ilr;
plicable in all the present manufactories of sugar, '6
of t°lo
exception of those upon the principle of dessication ‘iii
beet-root. The inventor is M. Edward Stolle, who, thou,"
not more than twenty-four years of age, is already highlY di%
tinguished for his experiments in chemistry, and his works 11
polite literature.
