WOOLWICII.—EXPERIMENTS IN THE MARSMES.—
Colonel Rudyerd, director of the Royal Military- Repository ;
Lieutenant-Colonel Hardiv_get K.H., direetor.of the Labo-
ratory Department,- Ind Major Pester, fire-masher in the
Laboratory. mesetbled Le the Woolwich marshes on Monday
afternoon, to witness experiments with concussion fuzes, the
invention of Mr. Tyre, of the proof department in the Royal
Arsenal. There were four shells fired from 32-pounder guns,
and three shells from an 8-inch gun. Three of the shells trom
the 32-pounder guns burst on striking, and one did not burst.
The first shell fired from the 8-inch gun burst about 40 yards
from the mouth of the gun ; the second fell short, and on
touching the ground ricocheted to the top of the mound, and
buried itself in the earth, without bursting; the third grazed
the ground before reaching its destination, and ricocheted,
striking the top of the target, and burst at the same time.
Experiments were also carried on with concussion fuzes on
Friday and Saturday last, invented by Mr. Tyre and Mr.
Blanch, and others are about to take place, as it is desirable
to have a concussion fuze that can be depended upon, the
great object being to insure that none of the shells should
burst during their flight, or short of the object against Which
they are directed.

for her by Dr. Cronin, re-assembled at the Wheatsheaf, High-
street, Camden-town, further to prosecute their inquiry. Dr.
Cronin was in attendance, accompanied by Kt: 2innant, as
his professional adviser.
Dr. Scoffern, who had been appointed to make a more
minute analysis of the mixture taken by the deceased, and
also the bitter almond water used in its composition, was first
called, and made a minute technical report of the results of
his analysis, concluding with a declaration that if the medi-
cine had contained strychnia powder, as prescribed, it would
have been still mores poisonous.
The CORONER—WiII you state the result of your analysis
in plain terms to the jury? Dr. S.coffern—There were sixty
minims, or rather more than one drachm, of Pharmacopcm
prussic acid, in one ounce of the mixture taken by deceased.
CORONER—How much would be a dose for an adult? Dr.
Scoffern—We are ordered by the Pharmacopoeia not to give
more than fifteen minims, which is.a very large dose. It
would be a difficult thing to say how much is a dose of com-
pound strychnia powder. There is no compound powder of
strychnia mentioned in the British Pharmacopoeia.
Mr. Weathers said he was present at the analysis, and
agreed with Dr. Scoffern in every particular.
Dr. Venables agreed generally with the statement of Dr.
Scoffern.
By the CORONER.—I hold in my hand Dr. Cronin's prescrip-
tion. I have never prescribed bitter almond water myself,
either externally or internally, but I have prussic acid. I
have never seen it written in any prescription except this; I
never knew compound strychnia powder to be used except
by Dr. Cronin.
By Mr. Tennant—l' have purchased some bitter almond
water at Mr. French's, the chemist, in Holborn, since the last
adjournment. It appears to be the same as that prescribed
by Dr. Cronin, and was labelled precisely as written in Dr.
Cronin's prescription, "aqua amyydalce amarce." It is quite
a harmless mixture ; a person might take two or three
ounces of it without any ill effects.
Dr. Cronin—That is exactly the point ; I deny that the
mixture taken by the young lady, which caused her death,
was the prescription I ordered.
Mr. Bell, the chemist, in all the main points agreed with
Dr. Scoffern as to the analysis.
After sonic further evidence, the Coroner asked Doctor
Cronin if he was desirous of making any statement to the
jury? Dr. Cronin said he had the highest authorities for
using the bitter almond water in his prescription.; and in
support of his statement, read extracts from Dr. Christian's
work on poisons, Dr. Thompson's " New Edinburgh Phar-
rnacopceia," Professor Brande, and the London Pharmaceu-
tical Journal. He declared, if physicians were to be bound
by the " British Pharmacopoeia, and nothing else, no im-
provement could ever take place in the science of medicine.
The CORONER then, at very great length, proceeded to sum
up the evidence, and told the jury, that if they believed the
deceased had died from the effects of the medicine, and that
it had been prescribed without due and proper care, it would
be their duty to find a verdict of manslaughter against Dr.
Cronin.
The jury found a verdict of, Manslaughter against Dennis
• .
Cronin.
The Coroner then made out his warrant of committal, and
Dr. Cronin was conveyed to Newaate in a cab.
