person. For instance a man might begin with a small
dose of opium, and go on increasing it until he could
take as much at once as would poison half a dozen men,
and so it would be with spirituous liquors.
By the Coroner—l do not know what efiect delirium
tremens would have on the general system. The brain is
the centre of the nervous system. It is probable that a
person affected with delirium tremens would die of apo-
plexy.
By a Juror—The proposal for the insurance was de.
clined. It was for 13,0001.
Dr. Monckton, examined—l have made a post mortem
examination of the body shown to me as that of Walter
Palmer. That body was shown to me by Mr. Burgen,
inspector of police, on Friday, the 21st of December.
The corpse was that of a man of middle stature, broad
build, and corpulent. I had never to my know-
ledge seen it in life. Decomposition had commenced,
and had proceeded to some extent, especially about
the head and neck, and the whole of the posterior
surface of the body, which is the most dependent.
The external surface of the body showed no signs of
wound, or any other injury. There was no edeima of
the body, except that of the head and face, which was
clearly the result of putrefaction or decomposition. The
body was well nourished, much fat being found in those
parts in which it is usually deposited. The blood had
ahnoat entirely soaked out of the body. The brain was
totally disorganised by decomposition, so that I could
form no opinion as to its state at the time of death. The
lungs at one or two points were adherent to the walls of
the chest. That is by no means an unusual appearance,
although certainly a diseased one, but is, in fact, a very
common condition of the bodies of adults. The lungs
were somewhat decomposed, but not to such an extent
as to prevent my discovering evidence of disease of an
organic nature had such existed during life. The
liver was larger and harder than usual, but showed no
other external evidence of disease. The kidneys were
rather softer than ordinary, but I am not prepared to
say whether this was the result of putrefaction or disease
during life. The external appearance of both was healthy,
and on making section of one it did not present an un-
healthy appearance. The other was unexamined by me,
because with other viscera in other jars. The whole
length of the alimentary canal, including mi uth
throat, gullet, and intestines, was carefully examined,
with the exception of those parts enclosed in jars, and
throughout its whole extent the tube exhibited no evi-
dence of disease, the only thing remarkable being the
unusually miry state of the stomach and bowels, there
being nut a small quantity of food or other matter pre-
sent—that was in the ceecum—that is, the commence-
ment of the large intestines. Near the entrance to the
windpipe, far back into the throat, a rather unusual
appearance presented itself, and as such must be men-
tioned. It was a white, oval, prominent substance,
about the size of a filbert—l believe it was an enlarged
gland, and wholly unconnected with the death of the
deceased. So far, therefore, as the condition of the
body allowed me to form an opinion, I found no
organic disease, no change of structure suffici-n;
to account for death. The stomach and duedenutn, per
tions of the large and small intestines, one kidney, and a
portion of the larynx and clarynx, with the liver, spleen,
heart, and part of the lungs, were enclosed in three glazed
earthenware jars, duly labelled and secured, and delivered
by me into the hands of Inspector Ellis Crisp, on Sau-
day evening, Dec. 22, 1855. r have heard the other evi-
dence, and from the post mortem examination, and from
the absence of any cause shortly before death to produce
the symptoms described by the witnesses, I can form no
other opinion than that the deceased died of a fit of apo-
plexy The habits of deceased, as given in evidence,
would be quite sufficient to my mind to account fur
such a fatal termination.
By Mr. Deane—There is nothing incompatible in the
symptoms I have described with the use of prussic acid.
By Mr. Smith—There was adhesion of the lungs to the
ribs. It bad taken place to a very slight extent, more by
strings than to the surface. That is certainly not incon-
sistent with poisoning by prussic acid, as it might have
Beaked out of the body after death. The heart was flaccid
and collapsed, like an old bladder. I examined one of the
kidneys, and they were softer than usual, either from
disease or natural causes after. The kidney would be
one of the last organs -of the body from which blood
would soak, as lying at the back. The blood would
have drained away from the kidneys to some extent. I
could not consider there was any congestion of the kid-
neys other than the result of post mortem changes. I
found the liver harder and larger than usual, without
considering it in a diseased state.
By the Coroner—The symptoms were not inconsistent
with poison by prussic acid. The smell of prussic acid
would not be smelled by persons laying out the body,
as, being extremely volatile, it soon passes away. If
mixed with brandy the smell would be overpowered.
By Mr. Smith—lf prussic acid were mixed with brandy
the smell of prussic acid would not be discovered on
opening the body, unless a large quantity had been given.
I was present on the opening of a body .in which the
death was produced by prussic acid. The appearance was
similar to this body. In three months no trace whatever
of prussic acid could be found in the body. The body I
saw opened was within an hour after death.
Ellis Crisp—l am inspector of police. I received six
jars from Dr. Monckton on the 22d December. I deli-
vered them to Dr. Taylor on the 24th December, at the
chemical laboratory at Guy's Hospital. Three of them
were marked " Walter Palmer, Nue. 1,2, 3."
By Mr. Deane-L-The body viewed by the jury is the
same as that spoken to by Dr. Monckton. The exami-
nation was made in my presence. It was that of Walter
Palmer. -
Cornelius Waddell—l am a surgeon residing at Staf-
ford. I knew Walter Palmer, and attended on him pro-
fessionslly in November, 1854. I examined him. Ifi4
brother Williatu spoke to ins some days before I saw
bins, and said his brother was poorly, and at his request
I called on him. I found him suffering from an attack
of delirium tremens. I questioned him about his disease,
and he said troubles and drink had brought it on. I
Lever knew troubles to cause. eliriurn tremens without the
drink. I asked him if he had ever had an attack beiort,
and he said he had not. I had known him for ass erst
years before that period. I had heard he was a generous,
free liver, but had no idea that he was a drunkard. I
attended him for some weeks. I attended him for func-
tional diseases of the intestines. His pulse was scarcely
ever disturbed. The delirium tremens subsided in 3or
4 days. At the end of 6 weeks I left him in good health.
He had an inclination to intemperance, but I prevailed
upon a person in the house where he lived to restrain
him. Walkeaden lived in the house with him. I' have
not attended him professionally since, but I have fre-
quently seen him. I examined him on the 6th of Dec.,
1854, and certified as to the state of his health. He was
then entirely recovered. My opinion, as time grew on,
somewhat alter d. In one of these certificates I said,
" I am told he sometimes drank too freely, but I believe
that is seldom the case." The proposal for insurance was
declined by the Solicitors' and General Office. Another
proposal to the Universal Life A.surance I ordered to be
declined, as Walter Palmer drank, having been rejected
by two offices, and also that Wm. Palmer had insured
the life of his wife for a large amount, and she died soon
after the first payment. Several other reports were put
in, and in each case the proposal for the insurance of
Walter Palmer's life was rejected. I frequently met him
walking in the country, and he assured me that he had
left off his drinking habits, and only took three glasse•i
of bitter beer a day, and his general appearance was very
considerably improved. He told me he owed his brother
William 4001., and he was anxious to repay him, bus
that I had prevented him insuring his life several times.
He said, " You must be aware that my habits are en-
tirely altered, for I drink only three glasses of bitter beer
a day, and eat like a thrasher." He called at my house
in July, and I examined him. I was then satisfied there
was no organic disease or symptoms.
By Mr. Smith—l have heard Dr. Taylor's evidence,
and from the statements I have heard given in evidence I
believe the deceased died of apoplexy caused by drink.
Walter Palmer was anxious to have his own life insured.
If a person has had delirium tremens, and continues the
exciting cause, death —is 'probable at no very remote
period. On the other hand, I have known parties who
have had delirium, tremens 20 years ago who are alive and
well. Now, I have known a person to die from drink by
apoplexy. The symptoms described yesterday were the
same as I have witnessed. Walter Palmer tried to induce
me to withdraw my opposition to the insurance of his life.
By Mr. Deane—When Walter Palmer said, "You
have been the means of preventing me insuring my life
several times," I was not aware that it was already in-
sured for 13,600/. Mr. Was. Palmer called on me, and
afterwards wrote a letter asking me not to reply to an
insurance office until he called on me. Before I filled
up my certificate to the Solicitors' I saw Wm. Palmer.
Wm. Palmer interfered in a manner I never before wit-
nessed in a similar case. If I had known that Dr. Day
had been attending Walter Palmer I would not have
given hun a certificate. I considered at the time that I
was his medical attendant. In filling up the proposal for
insurance I did not allow of any dictation from William
Palmer.

The inquiry was then adjourned to the 231 inst.

By a Juror—The reason I thought Walter Palmer
was better when I met him VIM because he was then
two miles from Stafford, walking on the road.
An adjournment for an hour and a half hero took
place, and at its expiration the inquiry was resumed.
Mary Ann Parkes—l am the wife of Wm. Parkes, of
Wolverhampton. I knew the deceased Walter Palmer
about twelve months before his death. I saw him occa-
sionally at Stafford, at Mr. J. Blanthorne's spirit vaults.
I managed Mr. Blanthorne's business then. He came in
accidentally as a customer with Mr. Walkenden. He re-
mained a short time. He had something to drink. He
did not come in very frequently, I managed Mr. Blai -
theme's business for nine or ten months. Mr. Palmer
and Mr. Walkenden generally came together, but on one
occasion Mr. Walter Palmer came alone. He generally
bad a glass and went away, as they had no place to sit
down. They came in on a market morning and Saturday
evening. I left Mr. Blanthorne in March last year.
By Mr. Deane—l keep the Fountain Inn, at Wol-
verhampton. I recollect during the Wolverhampton
races, on the 14th of August, Mr Walter Palmer corn-
ing in with Mr. Walkenden, at about one o'clock. Mr
Walkenden asked me if I could get Mr. Palmer some-.
thing nice to eat, and I told him we had cold ham and
mutton. Walter-Palmer said he could not eat that. I
aaked him if he could eat a mutton chop, and be said he
thought be could. I cooked him a mutton chop, ar d
they went in the meantime into the bar and sat down.
I drew a glass of bitter beer for him, which I think he
left. They had the chop in the bar as soon as it was
cooked. Walter Palmer eat but a small part of it. After
be had the chop he removed from the table and bad a
glass of in and water, which he drank. Walter Palmer
was not in liquor, but was quite sober when he came in,
and very quiet. They remained about an hour. I saw
no more of them that day. They sand they were going
to the races when they left my house. Occasionally two
gallons ofgin were taken by Walkenden for Mr. Palmer
from Mr. Blanthorne s. Mr. Walter Palmer was in good
health when he called on the Wolverhampton race day.
Mrs. Lucy Astell examined—l live at Riever, lam

mother of the last witness, Mary Ann Parkes, and was
staying with my daughter at the Fountain lan, Wolver-
hampton, on the second race day. I know Mr. Walk-
ender), Who lives at Stafford. He came, on the second
race day, in company with Mr. Walter Palmer, and they
stayed abort an hour, when they went away. They came
in again about three, when Mr. Palmer had a small por-
tion of brandy and soda-water, and Mr. Walkenden had
gin and water. Mr. Palmer became very ill, and I ad-
vised him to lie down en the sofa. He seemed strange
and uneasy, and told Mr. Walkenden that the pain in
his back was coming on as bad as ever. He lay down
on two rugs on the sofa, and Mr. Walkenden went out.
He became sick while he was on the sofa. In a quarter
of an hour afterwards Mr. Walkenden came back and
took him out. Walter Palmer begged of him to go and
get a car to take him home. I asked him what his ill-
ness was, and be said he did not kaow, but that he was
very ill and very unhappy.
By a Juror—He did not say what made him unhappy.
George Whyman examined—l live at Wolverhamp-
ton, and am a chemist's assistant. lam in the employ
of Maunder, Weaver, and Co. I knew Win. Palmer.
On a Tuesday in August he purchased three articles at
our shop—viz., 1 oz. of powder jalap, one ounce of hy-
drocyanic or prussic acid, and the third article I do not
remember. Ido not remember whether the Wolver-
ha npt,in races were then pending. It was on a Tuesday.
The gentleman was known to me as a medical man, but
I did not know his name. I knew he di,t business with
our house, and that was the reason I let him have an
ounce of prussic acid: I met him in Londun before that
time, but w s not awareihat he was a surgeon. If any
one came and said he was a_surgeon I should not sell
him prussic acid ; but frequently surgeons call and pur-
chase small quantities of prussic acid.
By Mr. Smith—l knew this to be in the month of
August. The custom of the house is to enter all articles
in a b ink above the value of ss. These three articles
cost ls. 9d. only. I know I sold theqe articles on the
first or second Tuesday in August, as we kad some large
orders to execute on that day. These orders are entered
in a b,nik, but I have not looked into the book.
By Mr. Dean—l was summoned yesterday morning,
but I was not told to bring the book.
By the Foreman—Small sums were not entered in any
book, but put into the general account. The book would
show the day when the large order 4 were executed.
By the o:under—The jalap was asked for first. It cost
4,1 , the prussic acid 10d.' and the third article 7d. I
sold the prussic acid without applying to the other par-
ties in the house. I have frequently sold it to medical
men without consulting other persons.
By Mr. Deane—A friend of mine met Mr. Palmer at
the Punch Tavern, Fleet-street, London. Ido not re-
collect selling prussic acid to any other p-rson bet Mr.
Palmer in the montk of August. I sold some in June.
I 'old none from that time until August. I sold a por-
tion to a surgeon living in the town, and some to a che-
mist from Darltcn.

I Convention between Her Majesty and
the Emperor of Japan.

(From the Gazette of last Evening.)

Signed at Nagasaki, in the English and Japanese lan
guages, October 14, 1854.
[Ratifications exchanged at Nagasaki, Oct. 9, 1855.]

CONVENTION FOR REGULATING THE ADMISSION OF BR.
TISH SHIPS INTO THE PORTS OF JAPAN.

It is agreed between Sir James Stirline-, Knight,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the ships and
vessels of her Britannic Majesty in the East Indies and
seas adjacent, and Mezi-no Chekfu-no Muni, Ohnnyo of
Nagasaki, and Nagai Evan °oho, Omedmki of Nagasaki,
ordered by his Imperial Highness the Emperor of Japan
to act herein ; That,-
1. The ports of Nagasaki (Fisen) and • Hakodadi
(Maternal) shall be open to British ships for the pur-
poses of effecting repairs, and obtaining fresh water,
provisions, and other supplies of any sort they may ab-
solutely want for the use of the ships.
2. Nagasaki shall be open for the purposes afore-
said front and after the presert date ; and Hakodadi
from and after the end of fifty days from the Admiral's
departure from this port. The rules and regulations of
each of these ports are to be complied with.
3. Osly ships in distress from weather, or unmanage-
able, will be permitted to enter other ports than those
specified in the foregoing Articles, without permission
from the Imperial Government.
4. British ships in Japanese ports shall conform to the
laws of Japan. If high officers or commanders of ships
shall break any such laws, it will lead to the ports being
elosed. Should inferior persons break them, they are to
be delivered over to the commanders of their ships for
punishment.
5. In the ports of Japan, either now open, or which
may hereafter be opened, to the ships or subjects of any
foreign nation, British ships and subjects shall be en-
titled to admission and to the enjoyment of an equality
of advantages with those of the most favoured nation,
always excepting the advantages accruing to the Dutch
and Chinese from their existing relations with Japan.
6. This Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifi-
cations shall be exchanged at Nagasaki on behalf of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, and on behalf of
his Highness the Emperor of Japan, within twelve
months from the present date.
7. When this Convention shall be ratified, no high
officer coming to Japan shall alter it.
In witness wh,-.ireef, we have signed the same, and
have affixed our seals thereunto at Nagasaki, this four-

(L. S.) JAMES STIRLING.
N.B.—The Japanese text was signed by the Japanese
Plenipotentiaries.

Exposition of the Articles of the Convention of Nagasaki
of the 14th of October, 1854, agreed to on the 18th of
October, 1855, by their Excellencies the Rear-Admiral
Commanding-in-Chief and the Japanese Commissioners.
"1. The ports of Nagasaki (Fisen) and Hakodadi
(Maternal) shall be open to British ships for the purposes
of effecting repairs, and obtaining fresh water, provi-
sions, and other supplies of any sort thej may absolutely
want for the use of the ships."
Exposition—The first Article of the Convention opens
the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodadi to British ships for
repairs and supplies. It opens the whole and every
part of those ports ; but ships must be guided iu an-
tailoring by the directions of the local Government. Safe
and convenient places will be assigned where ships may
be repaired. Workmen, materials, and supplies, will be
provided by the local Government according to a tariff
to be agreed upon, by which also the modes of payment
will be regulated. All official communications will
hereafter, when Japanese shall have time to learn Eng-
lish, be made in that language. A British burial-ground
shall be set apart on Medsume Sima, fenced in by a
stone wall, and properly protected.
2. "Nagasaki shall be open for the purposes afore-
said from and after the present date ; and Hakodadi
from and after the end of fifty days from the Admiral's
departure from this port. The rules and regulations of
each of these ports are to be complied with."
The second Article provides that at each of the ports
of Nagasaki and Hakodadi the Port Regulation shall be
obeyed ; but the Japanese Government will take care
that they shall not be of a nature to create embarrass-
ment, nor to contradict in any other way the general
tenour and intent of the Treaty, the main object of which
is to promote a friendly intercourse between Great Bri-
tain and Japan.
3. "Only ships in distress from weather, or unma-
nageable, will be permitted to enter other ports than
'those specified in the foregoing articles, without permis-
sion from the Imperial Government."
Exposition.—The third article declares that only ships
in distress from weather, or unmanageable, shall enter
other ports than Nagasaki and Hakodadi without per-
mission from the Imperial Government ; but ships of war
' Lave a general right to enter the ports of friendly Powers
in the unavoidable performance of public duties, which
right can be neither waived nor restricted ; but her Ma-
jesty'e ships will not enter any other than open ports
without necessity, nor without offering proper explana-
tions to the Imperial authorities.
4. "British ships in Japanese ports shall conform to
the laws of Japan. If high officers or commanders of
ships shall break any such laws, it will lead to the pod,.
being closed. Should nare.i..- prapockit break them. they
are to be delivered over to the commanders of their
ships for punishment."
The fourth Article provides that British ships and
subjects in Japanese ports shall conform to the laws of
Japan ; and that if any subordinate British subjects
commit offences against the laws, they shall be handed
over to their own officers for punishment ' • and that if
high officers or commanders of ships shall break the
laws, it will lead to the closing of the porta specified.
All this is as it should be ; but it is not intended by this
Article that any acts of individuals, whether high or
low, prerionely unauthorised or subsequently disap-
proved of by her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain,
can set aside the Convention entered into with her
Majesty alone by his Imperial Highness the Emperor
of Japan.
"5. In the ports of Japan, either now open, or
which may hereafter be opened to the ships or subjects
of any foreign nation, British ships and subjects shall be
entitled to admission, and, to the enjoyment of an
equality of advantages, with those of the mo-t favoured
nation, always excepting the advantages accruing to the
Dutch and Chinese from their existing relations with
Japan."
The fifth Article secures in the fullest sense to British
ships and subjects in every port of Japan, either now
open or hereafter to be opened, an equality in point of
advantage or accommodation with the ships and sub-
jects or citizens of any foreign nation, excepting any
peculiar privilege hitherto conceded to the Dutch and
Chinese in the port of Nagasaki. If, therefore, any
other nation or people be now or hereafter permitted to
enter other ports than Nagasaki and Hakodadi, or
to appoint Consuls, or to open tra le, or to enjoy
say advantage or privilege whatever, British ships and
subjects shall, as of right, enter upon the enjoyment of
the same.
6. "This Convention shall he ratified, and the rati-
fications shall be exchanged at Nagasaki on behalf of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, and on behalf of
his Highness the Emperor of Japan, within 12 months
from the present date."
7. " When this Convention shall be ratified, no high
officer coming to Japan shall alter it."
ARRANGEMENT REGARDING SHIPS.
An arrangement made subsequently to the Cenven
tion requires that British ships intending to visit Japan
shall be provided with a document in proof of their
nationality, and as a check upon the conduct of
vessels in Japanese ports ; and her Majesty's Go.
vernment has directed a form of certificate of registra-
tion to be adopted*, which has been accepted as satisfac-
tory by the Japanese authorities ; and merchant ships
arriving in Jiyanese pert,' are to submit their certificate
of registration to the officers to be appoiuted by the Ja-
panese authorities, and to permit them to make such ex-
tracts from it as may seem good to them, before such
ships elan be admitted to obtain repairs and supplies. Her
Majesty's ships of war will not be provided with such
documents ; but the officere ia, command, upon proper
application will afford all reasonable information re-
garding their ships.

By Mr. Smith—l remember sending out some large
orders on the day. Mr. Palmer bought these articles, and
I know that it was on a Tuesday. I remember it was
August from the fact of these orders. I mentioned to a
party in Wolverhampton, two months ago, that I had
sold Mr. Palmer prussic acid. The name of that person is
Deverell, and he keeps the Pack-horse Inn. I did not
mention it to Messrs. Weaver and Maunder that I had
sold prussic acid to Mr. Palmer. I mentioned it to Mr.
Deverell from seeing the notices about Mr. Palmer in the
newspapers. I mentioned it to him in casual conver-
sation.

By a Juror—l never speak to my employers about
such things, or do they request them. I told Mr. Weaver
that I had sold prussic acid to Mr. Palmer, but had not
sold strychnine to any one.
Mr. Smith—lt was only a few minutes ago when you
said you bad not thought of this until yesterday, and
now you say you mentioned it to your employers.
Mr. Wym4n—l meant out of the house. I sold prus-
sic acid to no one else.

By the Coroner—The prussic acid was put in as ounce
blue stoppered bottle, with a large label, " Hydrocyanic
Acid—Scheele's Strength," with the dose marked on it.
Mrs. Walter Palmer was the next witness called. She
appeared attired in deep mourning, and her appearance
excited considerable interest. She wept bitterly.
After being sworn, a consultation took place between
Mr. Smith and Mr. Deane, and at the end of it she was
told she might retire. It seemed she stated to the solici-
tors that she with her husband went to Liverpool on the
4th of August, and returned on the Bth ; and that he
did not leave her for four days, and was perfectly sober.
When he died, she inquired why she bad not been sent
for from Liverpooi, and William Palmer said he had
burst a blood vessel or something tat the kind, and that
he was too ghastly a sight for her to see him. Mr. Walter
Palmer had returned to Stafford, and she remained at
Liverpool.
