TRIAL OF DR. PRITCHARD—This Day,

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

EDINBURGH, THURSDAY.

The trial was resumed this morning. In conse-
quence of its being known that the case for the de-
fence would be opened the court was more than
ordinarily crowded.
Amongst the witnesses examined on the part of
the prisoner were his eldest son and daughter.
The object sought to be proved was that
the prisoner used the poisons he had pur-
chased for medicinal purposes, and also that
Mrs. Taylor had been for a long time past in
the habit of purchasing qua9tities of Battley's seda-
tive solution for her own personal use. The counsel
for the prisoner also endeavoured to prove that the
prisoner and his wife had lived on affectionate terms,
and for this purpose Mrs. Pritchard's brother was
examined.

• In all nearly 12 witnesses were examined, but
nothing beyond the above was adduced.
The defence closed at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock.

The prisoner was deeply affected during the
examination of his children, and when the Court
adjourned for refreshments he had to be assisted
from the dock.

It is not expected that the summing up will com-
mence before to-morrow.

The verdict, it is supposed, will not be delivered
before late to-morrow night or early on Saturday

morning.
