MONEY MARKET

AND

CarIINZIRCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLoom.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, yet quietly, and prices of all descriptions
Were quite as high as last week. The sales were
estimated at 5,000 hales (500 for export, and
1,000 on speculation), comprising 300 Egyptian,
61d. to 71d. ; 700 Surat, 41-d. to sd. ; and 50 Sea
Islands, 11d. to is. 2a. per lb. The Liverpool
Share Market yesterday presented a dull aspect,
and prices were a shade lower than on Monday.
The Funds continue very buoyant, and the ad-
vance of per cent., which occurred late yester-
day afternoon, is maintained with firmness ; in-
deed an additional rise of per cent, has been
recorded, and the tendency is still upwards. As the
present, however, is known to be a heavy Bull ac-
count, it is not improbable that some weakness will
Le occasioned by the realisation of profits. Con-
sols for money have been 93,1 v for money, and 93k
for account, but they have since been 931 1, and
933 respectively. Exchequer Bills, however,
have declined, as the Chancellor has expressed his
determination not to fund any. The June
Bills are ss. to 2s. discount, and the March
3s- discount to Is. prem. The Bonds are 98k. The
New 3 per Cents, have been 921,- /, and the Re-
duced 92 to 921 Bank Stock is at 211 to 212.
In Foreign Bonds a good business has been done,
and at fuller rates. Turkish Six per Cents. are
98 to 98i, and the 4 per Cents. 101. Spanish 3
Per Cents. rule firmer at 451-, and Russian 4 per
Cents. have risen nearly 1 per cent., being 95g.
Mexican Bonds are 23i 4 for account, Danish 5
per Cents. 101, Brazilian 5 per Cents. 99, and Bel-
gian 4i per Cents. 051.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred. Bonds, 6/ 7f ; Mexi-
can, 22i ; Peruvian, 77 9 ; Ditto 3 per Cents„

Railway shares are inmost instances at enhanced
values, and the settlement of the account has pro-
gressed satisfactorily.
In the miscellaneous market there is no new
feature.

11'1.1E MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY.

(This Day.)

The inquiry was resumed this morning at Chelsea
'l'-ospital, at half-past eleven.
At the commencement of the proceedings,
The Judge Advocate informed Sir R. Airey that a
letter from Sir J. M‘Neil had been received, stating
that he was too unwell to attend and be examined as a
Witness.
The Judge-Advocate also stated that Col. Tulloch was
et ill to unwell to attend.
In reply to a question from General Airey.
The Judge-Advocate said that application had been
411 4de to War-office for the preliminary eport made
"Y the
C.thenmnissioners, dated June 9th, whirch had been
ta forwarded to the Board for their use. It was, however,
Its:the same time stated that the report dated June 10th
"R the only one recognised by Lord Panmure.
thGeaeral Airy requested that the first paragraph of
h e Preliminary report might be read, which being done,
eloremarked that its statement that the Commissioners
0. concluded their labours, bore out his impression
I"t';at the Commissioners had really compiled the report
t(;itihitne tfrae_when he replied to the questions put by them
treThe
Judge-Advocate observed, that the impressineoghtn
Pave been modified if General Airey had read the
,
ung paragraph of the report.
Alter some conversation on this point,
° . Airey examined Col. Wetherall, Major Hackett,
is -• asereyee,„, and Mr. Watson (a purveyor's clerk),
order to prove that all possible care had been dis-
4,ed by him in the discharge of his duties. The evi-
a-ce of these witnesses elicited no new facts.
Airey then applied that Col. Gordon might be
proceed
to make his statement before he (Gen. Airey)
-7eeded further with his case.
ter.„ll,a, Board demurred to this course ; and a long con•
t4s-a-s"c11 then took place between General Airey and
Board explanatory of the duties of the Quarternias-
re`r (leneral, the ehief points of which were merely of a
er,4Pftula.tory nature and led to no definite result.
afeeneral Airey then commenced his final address,
rrning his conviction that the animadversions in the
f„?camissioners' report in connection with himself had been
smlY disposed of. Those animadversions resolved them-
proves into two—first, a supposed want of ingenuity in
peicling shelter for the horses ; and, secondly, a sup-
meet want of good management in the issue depart-
eb,tlt. The evidence had completely disposed of these
th„lea, and strengthened his original conviction that
„-,‘Jonsmissioners had never been sent out to_ conduct
~".,!oquiry intended to animadvert upon the conduct of
ter -
4r.e officers. With regard to the question of shel
"sr is
' was now quite evident that the mortality among
of*e horses had arisen not from want of shelter, but from
set of forage, while it was also plain from the evidence
Admiral Dundas, Sir E. Lyons, and others, that the
,sates suggested to bo used by the commissioners could
~,,°t have been procured. Neither could wood nor car-
" for hutting be procured from Constantinople,
t",nd the whole statement of the Commissioners upon
te head was full of fallacies and mistakes. Gen. Airey
le° dealt at large with the "issue" question, affirming
ef
full and complete conviction that the animadversions
a reports connected with this had been shown to be
tilnelY without foundation. In conclusion, he thanked
Rs" Judge-Advocate for having acquitted him of all per-
henfeli feeling towards Col. Tulloch, for whose position
es t a deep sympathy, and committed his reputation
lit a° Officer, a reputation which he valued more Clan
f to
en the decision of that high military tribunal, with a
After
that justice would be done to him.
d`ler an adjournment of half an hour,
eo„ °li. Gordon presented himself to make a statement in
hj4eetion with the report of the commissioners which
eQuaidered animadverted upon himself. He com-
b etleto

deeeee,l which he had never seen until they were pro-

tisciea,ecePtecl the notes forwarded by Col. Tulloch at the
es t'o °elieving that his memory must have deceived him
kieeerrlat be had really said, and that the commis-
having the original notes, must have furnished a
after copy, although the alterations made by them
itliitgave a completely different meaning to his answers.
ka:4r omissions had been made from the evidence of
Wetheisall.
eorePlY to the Judge-Advocate,
of 001. Gordon admitted that he had revised the evidence
*ith tee
Wetberall, which bad been printed correctly,
NVliichr exception of the omission of the last paragraph,
eftl ndid net remember to have authorised.
Oalia":Prordon then proceeded with his statement, con-
the ireza remarks to the paragraphs of the report, in
Lie et?., of which the Commissioners have misrepresented
hs 4c;lvecoe upon the non-issue of knapsacks, for which
eons .w "signed what he conceived to be sufficient rea-
ail rend in the second of which he was made to assign

lequivocally denied, for the real reason assigned by
tea; 13. r the uon-issue of great coats, blankets, and rugs

was not a sufficient number in store to ad-

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

di rd. The first transaction with deceased was a bill of
200/. which Palmer got discounted and failed to meet, and
Cook paid it. Pattner represented Clok as a man of
respectability, and Pratt not being inclined to lend any
more money Cock assigned to Pratt try) horses, Pole-
star and Cornelius, and a bill for three months, upon
which 500/. was advanced to Cook. This was paid in a
cheque for 3757., and a wine warrant for 057., and the
other was charged for discount and other expenses.
Palmer got the cheque and wine warrant, which should
have reached Cosdi, and forged the name of Cook
upon the back of the cheque, it being drawn by
Mr. Pratt upon his banker.; in London. Prisoner
never intended the proceeds of this cheque should
find its way into the hands of Cook, and Cook
never got the money ; and about the time Cook
came to his end. His bill would be due in 10 days, and
that when it became due to Palmer he had no money to

meet it. The learned cousel then went on to state that
the insurance upon the life of his brother not having
been paid, Palmer, who had raised money upon the
policy, in order to raise further sums, induced Cook to
represent Bates, who was a helper in Palmer's stables
at Rugeley, as a man of substance and respectability,
and thereby to get Bates to insure his life for 2,5001.
Palmer proposed this, to vihich Bites objected, but
Palmer pressed him, and Cook also persuaded him,
stating that he would be all right with Palmer.
Cook attested it, Palmer being named as sur-
geon, and the assistant as referee. This policy
was sent to the Solicitor-General's Office and
refused, and they then sent a proposal of a similar
character to the Midland for 16,000/., which was also
rejected. This failing, and it being finally settled that
the policy upon the brother's life woteal not be paid,
the prisoner was reduced to the most deperate strait-.
The learned Attorney-General then read a number of
letters, written by Pratt to Palmer, to show that
prisoner was under the utmost pressure to meet his liabi-
lities, and also the bills bearing his mother's signature.
He had the postmaster of Rugeley most completely
under his control, and the letters, to his mother were
intercepted, which accounted for these acceptances being
unknown to her, and enabled him to keep them from
her. The learned Attorney-General then read a letter,
dated 10th Oct., relative to those insurance applications,
and the inquiries making by the office, and which
stated that the acceptances then becoming due " must
be met," which was underlined in the letter in
question. Oa 18th October Pratt wrote to Palmer
stating how necessary it was that he and his
mother should prepare to meet the 4,0001. bills
then becoming due, because he could not give
further delay, and advised Palmer to keep his counsel
respecting the insurance affair. On the 27th October
Palmer called in London and paid Pratt an acceptance
for 2601., and on the 28th Pratt wrote to Palmer saying
that he had obtained terms relative to the service of
the writs on him and his mother till a certain date,
which would enable him to send on the 10th October
1,0001. and 1,5001. with which to meet them. On the
Bth November two writs wen) issued—one against
Palmer, and another against his mother, but before
doing so Palmer continued to send to Pratt and to pay
him 2001., 2501., and 3001., from which two months
discount was deducted, leaving a balance of about 7001.
on the 1,5001. bill. On the 13th November "Pole
Star" won at Shrewsbury, and then a letter passed be-
tween them, referring to the Prince of Wales' Office
and the insurance of Palmer's brother's life, and in
which Pratt asked him to make up the balance on
the bills. At that time Pratt held bills amounting
to 12,5001., of which but 7001. or 8001. had been
paid off. These bills had the forged acceptance
of his mother, and he was, of course, pecuniarily and
criminally responsible for them. The Prince of Wales
Office refusing to insure the brother's life, and Palmer
being unable to obtain money, Pratt considered it ne-
cessary to issue writs against him and his mother. At
the Shrewsbury races Mr. Cook's mare, " Pule Star,"
ran for the handicap, and there was every reason to
believe she would win, and Palmer betted heavily. The
result was that "Pole Star" was the winner, and
Cook was entitled to the stakes, amounting to 4241 ,
but which, after certain deductions, amounted to
381/. 19s. His (Cook's) winning altogether, including
the stakes, was 2,0501., and he had in his pockets be-
tween 7001. and 8001. in notes. He would receive the
stakes through Messrs. Weatherby, the agents, and
he would draw on them an acceptance ; and, on
the ensuing Monday, he would have received his
bets at Tattersall's!, amounting to 1,0601., but
within a week after he died, at the age of 28 years.
Cook was slightly disposed to pulmonary complaints,
and he had been in the habit of consulting Dr. Savage,
of London, who saw him in May, 1855. At that time
Cook was anxious about his throat, and he bad some
eruption about his mouth. He had been taking mercury
by mistake for his complaint. Dr. Savage prescribed
for him, and it had the effect of benefittinz him. He ,

continued after that to see Dr. Savage, and did so about

a fortnight before his death, and Dr. Savage would say
that at that time the deceased had nothing the matter
with his general health. Dr. Savage took an interest
in him, and at the request of his friends wished him to
leave the turf, and advised him to go abroad. His
friends also wished him to leave the turf, for there was

reason to believe that then Palmer premedi-
tated his death. At the Shrewsbury races Mr.

Cook was naturally excited and partook of some
wine with Palmer and others, but ho was generally an

abstemious man. He went to bed perfectly well that
night, and on tho following morning he went on the
course. On that day, 14th Nov., a remarkable in-
cident happened. A. friend of deceased, Mr. Harries,
occupied a room is the hotel near him and Mr. Fisher,
deceased's agent. Fisher in the course of the evening
went into the room at the hotel at Shrewsbury, where

Palmer and Cook were drinking. Fisher was asked to

partake of some refrashment, and Cook said to Palmer

" You'll have something more." Palmer replied, " Not
unless you finish your glass." Cook said, " That's easily
done," and took up the glass and tossed it off, leaving a
tea-spoonful in the glass. Immediately after drinking he
said, " Good God, there is something in it." Palmer
said, " Nonsense," and tasted it and then asked Fisher
and also a Mr. Reed, who had come in, to do so ; but
they said it was impossible, as there was none left is

for, and attended to him. He got better, and gave
Fisher his money, amounting to between 708/. and 8001.
in notes. Cook on Thursday morning way better, had
his money from Fisher, and went on the course. Pal-
mer had no money that day, having to borrow 251.
His horse " Chicken," ran there, and lost, and Palmer,
consequently, lost some heavy bets. On Thursday
night Palmer and Cook returned to the Raven, at
Rugeley. The previous night a woman called at the
hotel at Shrewsbury, to sea Palmer. She was a re-
markable woman, having connection with the turf.
She went there, andtain the lobby upstairs she saw Palmer
looking at a glass he had in hie hand, and which he was
holding up to the gas, and he afterwards went back to the
room where Cook drank the brandy arid wa,,er, of
which he complained. The learned Attorney-General
then proceeded to say that from that time 119 to
Gook's death Palmer was constantly with him, and
gave him things to take. The learned gentleman then
proceeded to state the death of Cook, the post morte,
examination, and the poison found in the body, and in
doing so said that strychnine was a most subtle
poison, the most minute quantity being fatal to human
life—from half a grain to three-quarters of a grain de-
stroying life, and it had this peculiar effect, that it
acted immediately on the nervous inwicles of the hu-
man body. The nervous system was divided into two
parts—that of sensation, by which consciousness of ex-
ternals were conveyed to the brain and nerves of tno-

tion, and was the intermediate agent, as it were, of the
intellectual powers of man and the physical ac-
tion arising from organisation. These two main
branches had their origin in the immediate
vicinity of man's intellectual existence, and this
poison affected one set of nerves, whilst the others were
not affected. It affected voluntarily the muscles of the

body, leaving unimpaired consciousness, whilst at the
same time it produced intense excitement of the muscu-
lar system. The learned counsel procesded to point out
the effect of strychnine on the system, producing tetanus,
but of a different character to that tetanus produced
from other causes. 2d. He should be able to lay before
them abundance of evidence on this point, and that the
symptoms and appearances that were produced by strych-
nine having distinctive characteristics from any other
poison. After adverting to the prisoner being a medical
man, and having a knowledge of poison, he referred to
Palmer and the deceased being at Rugeley, Cook's dining
with Palmer, his return to his inn sober, and his retiring
to bed with nothing the matter with him to all appear.
ances. On the following day and Sunday Palmer was
with Cook. On the Saturday morning Palmer was with
him early, and in the morning asked for some coffee, and
gave it to Cook. From that time Cook displayed
suffering from similar symptoms to those at Shrewsbury.
Palmer sent him from his house toast and water and
soup, but there might be nothing in that. Palmer's
servant, however, put the soup on the fire to warm ;
but whilst she left the room Palmer poured it into the
basin and desired the servant to take is to Cook at the
Talbot. She did so. It was given to him, and he ate
a spoonful, but it produced sickness, and he refused to

take mere. Palmer afterwards cane in and asked if
Cook bad eaten the soup. He was told no, on which
le said he muit, and it was given to him, and produced
treat suffering. Before Palmer came to the inn the
soup had been taken down to the hotel kitchen, and
me of the servants, thinking it looked like good coup,
ate a spoonful, which caused vomiting, and she had to
4o to bed, and in the course of the afternoon she vomited
it least 20 times. In the afternoon a medical man
vas called in, and Palmer represented to him, as be
had to others on other occasiew, that Cook was
-uffering, from bilious diarrlnet, and that be had drank
freely the previous night, having dined with him. The
•nedical man found none of those symptoms in his pa-
ient, and on his asking him if he had taken an excess
of champagne the previous day, Cook said he had not,
nut had taken only two glasses. The medical man saw
him again that day, and he was still ill. He had coffee,
and arrowroot, and barley water in the course of the
day, and when the deceased took anything when Palmer
was present he vomited after it. That might be a
,ingular coincidence, but so it WES. At the close of
Saturday deceased suffered from vomiting. He had
taken medicine prescribed by the medical man, and on
the Sunday morning he saw deceased again, who was
still suffering from sickness, but no fever, and the skin
was moist, and the excretions were natural. The vo-
roitings were not at all like those of a person suffer-
;ng from bile. The medical roan then changed
the medicine, and from that time the deceased
improved, and on Monday Palmer was ab-
'ent from Rugeley, having gone to London. De-
ceased was so much better that he got up
comparatively well, and was visited by his. trainer and
two jockeys. He continued well during that day, but
Palmer returned again on Monday evening to Rugeley.
In following up Palmer's motions he tnii,t refer to Her-
ing's meeting Palmer this day at a house in Beaufort-
buildings, where a female resided whom Palmer visited.
On his first seeing Palmer he asked "how Cook was."
Palmer replied he was well enough ; his doctor at
Rugeley had given him a dose of calomel, and as it was
wet he could not come out. He had come to settle his
account. Palmer was a defaulter, and could not show
at Tattersall's ; and Herring, knowing Fisher was Cook's
agent, was surprised he should have to settle Cook's
accounts. Palmer produced a paper purporting to be
the account. Herring wished to take it, but Palmer
refused to give it up, and at his desire Herring made
out the list and said it amounted to 1,0201., and after
some further conversation Herring made up the account
to a certain amount, after deducting 61. for himself and
other matters, Palmer saying the balance was the same
as that which Cook had made it. Out of the proceeds
of Cook's bets Palmer paid two debts of his own,
That was the way the money received by Palmer at Tat-
tersall's on Monday was disposed of. Palmer also sent
letters to the different persons owing Cook money,
requesting to have the amount sent to himself, saying
it was all the same whether he or Cook received
the money. He should also prove that Cook's letters
were intercepted by Cheshire, the postmaster. Palmer
received several sums of money due to Cook, which he
disposed of so as to stop fur a moment the pressure
that was being made upon him. On Palmer's return to
Rugeley, he went to a surgeon's there, and asked
the man to give him some strychnine. Newton gave
him the strychnine, attaching no importance to the fact,
as he (Palmer) was a medical man. Some pills were
also sent by Cook's medical attendant, Mr. Bam-
ford, and they were placed in the usual place
where Mr. Cook's medicine was kept. It would be for the
jury to say whether Cook took those pills or some others
()encoded by Palmer. On the next morning after the
pills had been taken, the servants were alarmed by
hearing loud screaming proceeding from Cook's room.
Cook was beating the bed, and calling out for Christ to
save his soul. Palmer was sent for, and on his arrival
Cook told him he would die. Palmer said, "No my
boy, you won't." Some time after medicine was adminis-
tered, and Cook became snore composed, but certain
symptoms still remained which the medical witnesses
would prove were the effects produced by strychnine.
On Tuesday, the 20th, Cook died, and on that morn-

ing a circumstance occurred to which be directed
particular attention. Palmer went to Mr. Haw-
kin's who Palmer was not in the habit of visiting
in consequence of some difference. He purchased some
prussic acid, which was served him by the assist-
ant. While in the shop, a man came in whom
Palmer knew, named Newton, and Palmer took him
into the street, and entered into some trifling conversa-
tion. A man named Brassington, a friend of Newton's,
then came up and entered into conversation with New-
too, and during that time prisoner left and returned
into the shop, and had six grains of strychnine and
some opium. The circumstance of Palmer entering the
shop, after the difference which was known to exist be-
tween the tradesman and himself, attracted the atten-
tion of Newton, and after Palmer had left Newton
went into the shop and inquired what Palmer had
purchased, and was told six grains of strychnine and
some opium ; and shortly after that purchase had been
made by Palmer Cook died. It would be for the jury
to say what importance they would attach to the evi-
dence of Newton. He should now return to some
circumstances previous to the death of Cook. On
Sunday Palmer visited a person named Jones,
who was a medical man, in whose house, when at
home, Cook resided. On Sunday the 18th. Palmer wrote
a letter to him stating that Cook had bean taken ill
with diarrhoea, and wishing Jones to come and see him.
Jones being a medical man might be the strongest proof
of the prisoner's innocence, but whether his visit was'
to he connected with other circumstances, or as a step
to disarm suspicion, it would be for the jury to decide.
The statement in the letter was perfectly true, as Cook
was suffering from a bilious complaint. On the arrival
of Jones he made an examination of Cook, in pre-
sence of Pelmor. On seeing Cook he remarked
that he apparently was not suffering the usual
effects of a bilious attack. Dr. Bamford arrived, and
then a consultation took place with Dr. Jones, Dr. Bam•
ford, and Palmer. Palmer insisted that pills should
be taken, but Cook said that he would not take any
more physic that night. It was arranged that Cook
should have some pills, and Dr. Bamford made some at
his surgery and gave them to Palmer. He (Dr. Bam-
ford) wrote the directions how thepills were to be taken,
but Palmer did not arrive home until half an hour after
the time he should have done, and on his arrival there
he particularly directed the attention of Jones to the
fact of the handwriting of Dr. Bamford,- the prisoner
evidently wishing to have the pill-box identified. He
remarked that the handwriting was particularly firm for
a person of the age of Dr. .13 senford. Cook eventually
took the pills, and Jones, as he was a friend of Cook's,
said he would sleep in the same room, After he had
been in bed but a short time Cook jumped up and said
for God's sake send for the doctor, I am going to
be ill. Palmer was sent for from the opposite
side of the way, and his arrival was so quick that it was
simply impossible for him to have dressed himself in the
time. On his arrival Cook prayed of him to give the same
medicine as had before relieved him. Palmer said he
would, and he made up some pills which he said were
composed of ammonia. Cook swallowed the pills, and
immediately the stiffening of the body commenced, and
it was impossible to move Cook, although he implored
them to do so. On being told it was impossible, he
then asked to be turned over ou his other side ; this was
done, and shortly after Cook breathed his last. The
medical evidence he should call would prove that the
death was caused by strychnine. The breath was hardly
out of Cook's body, when Palmer took steps for the
burial. Two women were sent for to lay out the body.
When the women went in the room they saw Palmer
searching Cook's pocket', and also turning over the
bed. He also took some papers from Cook, and it
was supposed the betting book was amongst those
papers. That book had never been found. He should
be able to prove that the betting book was in the pos-
session of Cook a day or two before he died. The book
was certainly there, as one of the servants took a stamp
from it and gave it to Cook. That book had never been
discovered. On the day following Cook's death a letter
was written by Palmer to Mr. Pratt, stating that Mr.
Cook was dead, and making arrangements about Cook's
horses, but particularly stating tbat he (Palmer) must
have Pole Star, and directing him to answer no money
questions about the affairs of Cook. A communication
took place between Palmer and the Messrs. Wetherby,
but in consequence of certain directions they refused to
pay the moneys of Cook to Palmer. Shortly after, on
the 24th of Nov., Palmer paid upwards of 1001. to
Pratt, although the prisoner a short time before was in
embarrassed circumstances. Two days afterwards Pal-
mer wished Cheshire to write Cook's signature to a cer-
tain document respecting a large amount of bills which
Palmer said had been in circulation for Cook's
benefit, but Cheshire declined to do so, as
Palmer said it was no matter. Mr. Stevens,
the father-in-law of Cook, arrived in a day or two after
the death, and was very much dissatisfied with the ap-
pearance of the body. He inquired of Palmer whether
he knew anything of Cook's affairs. Palmer stated that
bills were out to the amount of 4,0001., and that as he
(Palmer) was responsible for the sum, he should look to
Cook's estate for the money. aere Stevens told him he
would not get it—if he did he would get it from the
Court of Chancery. A conversation then ensued as to
the burial of Cook, and Palmer said be could be buried
at Rugeley, and he thought it would be better to have
him screwed down as soon as possible. In this arrange-
ment Mr. Stevens did not consent, and on his
asking if an undertaker could be found, Palmer said
he had already ordered a shell and a strong
oak coffin. Stevena expressed his surprise, but after-
wards he gave directions thathisson-in-law's betting-book
and papers should be given up to him. Palmer said it
could not be found, but Mr. Stevens raid it must be
found, but Palmer again said it would be of no use as
the bets were paid by the death of Cook. A. short time
before Mr Stevens left Rugeley he went to take a last
look at his unfortunate relative, but instead of finding
the corpse in the state he expected, be found it in such
a state that he immediately determined to have a post
mortena examination, at which the prisoner seemed
annoyed. Palmer, a short time after, began to talk
about the bills. Palmer afterwards applied to l r.
Beniford for his certificate as to the death of Cook, but
Dr. Bamford refused, stating that Cook was his patient.
Eventually Dr. Bamford gave the required certificate,
which stated that Cook tried of apoplexy. On the day
before the post mortem examination of Cook, Palmerseet I
for Newton, and after some drinking Palmer asked
Newton how much strychnine would kill a dog, and
Newton told him about half a gram. Palmer saw seve-
ral medical persona before the post morton examination

took place, and gave to each of them different accounts
of the causes of the death of Conk. The post mortem
examination was then proceeded with, and the result
was that, from all the outward appearances, dsath had
been caused by etryc.hnire. Trio brain “'as perfectly
healthy, although it was stated by Dr. Bamford that
there WAS a slight congestion of it. The stomach and
intestines were also perfectly healthy, and at
this part of the examination Palmer turned round
to Dr. Bamford and said, " They will not hang
us yet." Other portions of the intestines were placed
in a jar, and it was removed by some party from its
place, but on inquiring for it Palmer said I have it, and
on it being returned two slits were found cut in the parch-
ment cover. When it was decidA to take the jar away,
Palmer said to Dr. Bamford, "I don't think we ought to
let them take that jar away as we don't know what they
might put in it." He thought that as the prisoner was
not an ignorant man such an exclamation was vt,ry
suspicious. The prisoner was exeeedingly anxious that
the jar should not leave Rugeley, and when he disco-
vered that a fly was engaged to convey the medical men
to Stafford, he told the post boy they had no right to
take the jar away. Palmer then said to the post boy,
" Don't you think you could upset the carriage and
break the jfir." The man instantly refused to
to do anything calculated to efLes such as object.
Palmer tried to persuade him to cause au accident to
the conveyance, stating that he would " make it all
right with him," but the man refused, and that [loan
be proposed to call before the jury. The post mortem
examination took place in London, and the prisoner
was extremely anxious to learn the result of it. The
prisoner shortly after the death of Cook was very
flush of money, and it would be for the
jury to say whether a man in the straitened circum-
stances that Palmer was, with the threat of writs staring
him in the face, would have a motive for causing the
death of Cook. They (the jury) would be told that no
strychnine could be found in the body, but it would he
for the jury to decide that point. He had explained
the effect of a small quantity of strychnine upon the
human frame ; they would also have the tests
which had been applied for the discovery of
this poison laid before them, which would show
that when the same quantity of poison was adrniaistered
to animals those annuals had expired with the same
symptoms as those produced on a human being. It would
be lamentable for it to go forth that poisoning by strych•
nine could not ,be discovered ; but Providence had
ordained it otherwise. That poison had been ad►ninis-
tered to the unfortunate man was evident, and the ques-
tion wou►d be, Low did it gat there ? It was not ad-
ministered by any of the medical men who attended
Cook. Antimony was found in the body of Cook
after he had been ill for a week, and it would
be for the jury to decide, from the evidence
that would be placed before them whether it
was administered by the prisoner. The prisoner
would be defended by one of the most eminent
men of the bar ; and if the evidence which he
(the Attorney-Genera!) should place before them
would not convince the jury of the prisoner's guilt,
then, in God's name, they would acquit him; but, on the
other hand, if it should be deemed conclusive, then they
would, as a duty they owed to society, return a verdict
of guilty.
The Attorney-General then resumed his seat, and the
court adjourned for a short time.

The court having resumed, the first witness called was
Ishmael Fisher, who was examined by Mr. Edwin
James, Q.C. He stated that he was a wine merchant,
and was in the habit of attending races. He had known
John Parsons Cook the deceased for two years. He (wit-
ness) was at the Shrewsbury races, when Polestar, the
property of Mr. Cook, won the handicap ; on which day
he saw Mr. Cook upon the course, and he then appeared
in as good health as ever he saw him. While he (wit-
ness) was stopping at Shrewsbury he lived at the Raven
Hotel. He knew the prisoner well ; he and Cook were
stopping at the same hotel ; they occupied an adjoin-
ing room, which was only separated by a thin
partition ; they occupied also a sitting room. On the
occasion of his entering the room one eveniree during the
races he found Mr. Palmer, Mr. C:mk, and Mr. Myatt.
They had grog before them. Mr. Cook had some. It
was brandy and water. He (Cooli) asked Lim to sit
down, and a short time after Cook asked Palmer to have
some more grog, upon which Palmer replied, " I shall
not have any more until you have drank yours." Cook
said, "I'll drink mine." He then took the glass up,
and drank it off. After he had drank the grog, in
about a minute after, he said, " There's something
in it ; it burns my throat dreadfully." Palmer then
got up and took up the g!a,ss, and sipped up what NI as
left, and said there was nothing in it. He (witness) should
imagine there was about a teaspoonful lett, as he had to
tip up the glass. At this time Mr. Read° came in, and
Palmer handed the glass to Reads and asked him if there
was anything in it. He also was banded the glass by
Palmer, and they both said there was so little left that
they could not tell, but he (witness) thought there was
a strap.. scent about it.
Lord Campbell —Did you put it to your lips ?
Witness--No, my lord.
Lord Campbell--How, then, do you kno v about the
scent ?
Witness—By the smell, my lord.
Examination continued—Palmer shortly after retired
frctu the room, and Cook told him he lett very ill and
very sick, and he asked ma to take his money, and he
then handed witness his cash, which amounted to about
7001. or 8001. in Bank of England notes. The money
was given to him merely to take care of, and very soon
after Cook was taken very sick again. When he came
back, after retiring, he said he had been again very sick;
he asked me to go up to his bed-room, and I did so. Mr.
Jones, a stationer, went with us into the bed-room
and deceased was so ill that I thought it right to send.
for Dr. Gibson. We stayed with deceased uu-
till two o'clock in the morning. We sent a second
time for Dr. Gibson after he had seen deceased.a second
time. Deceased was more composed. We administered
the medicine which Dr. Gibson had sent him. Upon
going down into my room the next morning I found
Cook there, and he complained that some one bad said
that he (Palmer) had given Cook something in his
brandy and water, or something of that. Palmer said,
"I did not ; Ido not try tricks of that sort." He said,
" I can tell you what he was ; he was d-1 drunk."
Cook was not drunk the night before, but had been
drinking previously to my seeing Palmer. Teat morn-
ing Cook had come into my bed-room. He looked
very ill. I gave him his money. I saw him that
afternoon upon the Shrewsbury race course. I used to
pay his debts as his agent when deceased did not pay
them himself. When he was upon the race course I
saw he had a betting-book in his hand. His winnings at
the Shrewsbury race, in the proper course, I should have
received. I had advanced 2,0001. to pay Pratt, and
should have repaid myself that out of what I might
have received upon behalf of the deceased.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—He never re-
collected paying any money to Palmer in which Cook
had a joint interest. He recollected Polestar won the
handicap about an hour after the races began at Shrews.
bury. He saw Cook on the course after the race, and
he appeared to be much elated. Polestar won the race
easy. When he went into the room Cook asked him to
take something, and ordered some brandy for him.
He would not swear he did not take some-
thing to drink, but he did not recollect doing
so. When he took up the glass, it was empty. No-
thing could be ascertained as to what it Nontained.
I had been at the Unicorn. I dined there about the
usual time. Ido not recollect seeing Cook at the Uni-
corn before the race. I did not see Cook at the Red
Rover. It was about nine in the evening that I saw
Cook at the Unicorn. Ido not know that many con-
nected with the race had been taken ill that day. I had
a friend that was taken ill, but it was not the same ill-
ness as that of Mr. Cook. Ido not recollect that the
Thursday was very wet ; it might have been damp un-
derfoot, or that it was wet the day before. I heard that
prisoner and deceased had breakfasted together that day.
I did not know that they left for Shrewsbury. I received
the letter about the 2001. for Pratt upon the 17th. The
deceased did not seem to treat Palmer with so much re-
spect, but I do not know that there was any estrange-
ment between Palmer and Cook. I believe they were
partners together in racinc, matters, but I have not had
any positive knowledge of Palmer had a horse in
the race called Chicken. It ran the last day of the race,
and lost. The deceased was not more excited than per-
sons usually are who have won a race. Polestar ran in
the handicap.
Thomas Jones, law stationer in Carey-street, said he
Was at Shrewsbury races in last November, and lodged
during his stay at the Raven. He arrived on Monday,
the 12th. Cook and Herring, Fisher and Gravat were
present. Cook appeared perfectly well, as he did
on the Tuesday and 'Wednesday. Late at night
on Wednesday he went ;to the Raven, and Cook came
into his (witness's) room and invited him into his. he
went there and found Palmer and other persons present.
After the party broke up Fisher came to him and told
him something about Cook, in consequence of which he
went into Cook's bed-room, and found him complaining
of a burning in his throat, and he was vomiting. Some
medicine was brought—pills and a draught. He gave a
portion of the medicine to Cook. It was a small quan-
tity, mixed in a wine glass. On the following morning,
between 6 and 7 o'clock, although he was still in bed, he
said he was easier and better. He did not notice how
he (Cook) looked.

Mr. George Reid examined by Mr. Bodkin, of Far-
ringdon-market, stated he was intimate with both Cook
and Palmer. He saw Cook on Tuesday on the Shrews.
bury race course. He was then in as good health as he
ever knew him to be. On the day following he saw him
and he appeared quits well. He stopped at the Raven.
When he went into the room in which Cook and Palmer
were, there was brandy and water on the table.
Almost immediately after he entered the room,
he saw Cook was in pain, and heard him say to
Mr. Palmer " there was something in the
brandy and water. Redid not see him drink any of the
brandy and water. Palmer ban led him (witness) the
glans to look at, but there was nothing in it. He said
to Palmer what is the use of handing him the glass
when it was empty. Cook then left the room, and he
did not see anything of Cook that night. On the fol-
lowing morning, about 11 o'clock, he again saw Cook ;
he was up, and in his sitting-room. He did not make
any complaint, but Mr. Howard said he was very ill.
Cross-examined by Serjeant Shee—Cook always ap-
peared to be in good health. He was not a strongman,
but he never heard him complain.
Mr. Baron Alderson—You had some of the brandy
and water, didn't you ?
Witness—Yes, my lord.
By the Attorney-General—He bad known Cook sonic
time, and had never knew him to be prevented by ill-
health from following his pursuits.
W. Skaif Gibson, assistant to the surgeon at Shrews.
bury. On the the 14th of November ls,t he was sent
for to go to the Raven Hobel at Shrewsbury, It was
between twelve and one in the Light. He saw
Mr. Cook in him bed room, but he was not in bed.

t He complained of pain in the stomach, and he likewise
said he thought he had been "poisoned." His pulse
beat about 90. His tongue was perfectly clean. The
abdomen was distended. He ordered an emetic, when
Coe]: said he could make himself sick with warm water.
A pint of warm water was brought, which ha drank,
and he then said he could make himself sick
with a tooth-brush, which he eventually did. He ex-
amined the vomit and found it perfectly clean. He sent
Mr. Cook some pills and a draught. The pills were
composed of rhubarb and calomel. There was about
three grain:; of calomel. The draught was composed of
a compound of senna and other ingredients. In about
half an hour after he had given the medicines to Read
he gave to Mr. Jones some other medicines, but ho did
not see Cook after that evening.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—He did not
notice anything in what he had vomited. He
was excited by drink, but not drunk. The fact of ima-
gining he had taken poison would excite any person.
The remedy he prescribed he considered correct.
By the Attorney-General—lf there was anything the
matter with the stomach the tongue would be dis-
coloured.
El zabeth Mills, the chambermaid at the Talbot
arms in Rugeley. The prisoner practised as a medical
man there. On Thursday the prisoner and Mr. Cook
arrived, and he then complained of being poorly. On
Friday be said he was •no worse, but he was not well.
When Cook came in about half-past twelve, she asked
him if he was any better since ,he bad ;been out. He
said he felt no worse. He bad that evening been
dining with Palmer. On going to his room he
asked for his medicines and a light to read
by. About 8 o'clock Palmer came over to the Talbot.
He ordered a cup of coffee for Mr. Cook. He gave his
boffee to Cook in his bedroom. Palmer was present,
but she gave the coffee into Cook's hands, but she did
not see him drink it. Oa examining the apartment she
found the coffee had been vomited. The utensil was
standing on a little table by the side of the bed. She
could not remember making any remark to Palmer or
Cook. There was no jug with toast and water in the
room on the Friday,but on Saturday a jug not belonging
to the house was sent down from Cock's room with
a request that some fresh toast and water might be
made. She was positive the jug did not belong to the
Talbot Inn, and that it was brought from Cook's room.
Palmer was in and out Cook's room that day about
five or six times, and she heard him tell Cook he would
send him some broth over, and shortly afterwards she
saw the broth in the kitchen. She was sure the broth
had not been made in the Talbot Arms. On the broth
arriving it was taken up by the barmaid. About ten
minutes after the broth had been taken she met Palmer
on the stairs, and he asked her if Mr. Cook had had
his broth. She told Palmer she did not know any had
come, when Lydiaßarnes came out of the commercial room
and said she had taken the broth to Cook, but he had
refused to take it. Palmerithen said to her, "Go fetch
the broth, Cook must have it." She accordingly fetched
the broth, and took it to Cook's room, in which Palmer
was, and she left it there. She was quite sure the broth
was the same that Palmer sent, and that it was not me
in the Talbot. She found this broth had also beren
vomited. On the same evening, about six o'clock, there
was some barley-water made for Mr. Cook in the hotel,
which she took to him. She could not state whether
that stayed upon his stomach—sometimes it would, and
sometimes it would not. At eight o'clock on Saturday
souse arrowroot was made in the kitchen, which was
taken to Cook. Jerry Smith ir a friend of Palmer's. I
asked Cook the next morning how he felt, he said he h al
slept since 12, and was better. Between twelve and one
some broth was brought over, not ready for drinking, for
Cook. I took it up and tasted it; about two spoons-
ful ; and about an hour after was taken sick, and
vomited violently until about five. When I went to bed
I had vomited a great many times. I had been quite well
before, and had not, that I know of, takenlanything to make
me ill. I got up again about six. I saw Cook again that
evening, he seemed better, and was in good spirits. He
went to bed about ten. The broth made him sick.
The next morning I took Mr. Cook up a cup of coffee ;
that was about ten. About seven I saw Palmer
coming down stairs, as if he had been to see Cook.
Cook got up about one ; he shaved and dressed
himself, as if he was going out. He said he was
better. I saw him have some arrow-root which did not
disagree with him. The coffee did not make him sick.
Cook's jockey and trainer called that day to see him. I
did not see Palmer :team upon that day until the night.
Palmer came to the Talbot between 9 and 10. Palmer
sat down in Cook's room, and she never saw him
till a quarter before twelve. On Monday a pill-
box was brought about eight o'clock. Miss Bond, the
housekeeper, gave it to her to take to Cook's room. She
did so, and placed the box on the dressing table. The
box was wrapped in white paper, and on that day she
had not seen Palmer since the morning; but Palmer
went into the room after she had left the pills on the table.
She went to bed between 10 and 11, when shortly after
she was called up, and she heard violent screaming.
She heard him first seream as she was dressing herself.
She slept in the storey above Mr. Cook's room. On en-
tering Cook's room she found him sitting up in bed, and
lie desired her to fetch Mr. Palmer directly. She said
Mr. Palmer was already sent for ; and she then walked
to the bed side and found one of the pillows on the floor.
She picked up the pillow and asked him to lay his head
down. He was beating the bed clothes with his arms
stretched out. Cook said he could not lie down, or he should
be suffocated, and he then called out very loud, "Oh,
fetch Mr. Palmer." There was a sort of jumping or
jerking about the head and neck, and indeed all over the
body, and sometimes he would throw himself about the
bed. His breathing was very difficult, and both his
eye-balls very much projected. He could by this time
scarcely speak, but be screamed two or three times • he
kept continually moving and leltriAing himself about.
He called aloud " murder"—he repeated the word twice.
He asked me to rub one of his hands, and she found
it stiff. It was the left hand ; it was quite stiff and
did not move in the slightest manner. As soon as Cook
thought she had rubbed his hand sufficiently, he thanked
her fur it. Palmer was in the room while she was rub- I
,bin,g his hand. Cook was quite conscious, and while she
was rubbing his hand she observed his body twitching.
He recognised Palmer, and said "Oh, doctor, I Oral
die ;" and he replied, " Oh, my lad, you won't." Palmer
then left the room,. and asked her to stay by
the bedside. In a few minutes the prisoner returned, and
brought some pills, and he also gave him a draught from a
wino glass—first the pills and then the draught. When
Cook took the pills be said they had stuck fast in his
throat and he could not swallow them. Palmer told her
to give him a little toast water. When she gave him
the water his body was still jerking. When she gave
him the liquid he snapped at the spoon and took it be-
tween his teeth. It was very difficult to get it back, as
he held it so fast. The water passed down his throat.
Palmer after this handed him the draught. It was
a dark, thick, heavy looking liquid. Cook
snapped at the glass just as he had done at the
spoon. He swallowed the draught, but it was vomited
immediately, and as she held his forehead over the
utensil she smelt the vomit; it was like opium. Palmer
said to her he hoped the pills were not there, and he
searched with a quill for them but could not find them,
and then he desired her to take it away and look over it
to see if she could find the pills. She did so but did not
find the pills. After the utensil had been emptied
it was brought back to the room, and afterwards Conk
seemed a little easier. From the time she entered the
room until he became easier, it would be about half an
hour. After Cook had become more composed he asked
Palmer to feel his heart how it beat. Palmer went to
the bedside, but she could not say whether he felt his
side, but he said to him it was all right. When she left
the room about 3 o'clock Mr. Cook was not then asleep,
but Palmer was asleep in the easy chair. About 6 o'clock
the next morning, upon going into Mr. Cook's room,
he asked her if she had ever seen anybody suffer as he
had done the previous night. She said no, and he then
replied he hoped she would never see anybody like it again.
She asked him what he thought was the cause of the
attack, and he said, " The pills Palmer gave me at
half-past 10." She did not think anything else was said.
On this occasion he seemed perfectly composed and quiet,
but his eyes were very wild. There was jerking or
twitching of the body. At about 12 o'clock on that
day he sent over to Palmer to see if he might
have a cup of coffee. Palmer said he might, and that
it would be over immediately. When she took the
coffee up Palmer was in the room, and he took the coffee
and tasted it, he said, to see if it was too strong. She
left the coffee in Palmer's hands and she afterwards
left the room. Mr. Jones then arrived. During the
evening she saw Cook, and he appeared in good spirits,
and talked about getting up the next morning, and
ordered the barber to be sent for. Some arrow-root was
given him that evening. She did not see Cook after
half-past ten, at which time Palmer was in the
room, She gave him some toast water at the door,
and Palmer then said to Cook " Can this good girl
do anything more for you to-night," and Cook said
" No," and bade me good night. She did not go to
bed that night, but sat up in the kitchen, as she was
anxious toseehow he got on. While she was in thekitshen
the bell of Mr. Cook's room rang violently at 10 minutes
past 12, the same hour as on previous night. She
imme-
diately went up stairs and found Mr. Cook sit-
ting up in bed. Mr. Jones w
him, and immediately she went intoas

to Mr. Palmer's, and rang the surgery bell, and the pri-
soner came to the bedroom windowas soon as she rang the
bell. He did not open his window,lbut opened a small
square of glass, and spoke to her, she knew his
voice, certain it was he she told
him and was
to come over to Cook immediately as he
was much the samel as he was the night before. She
was in the bed-room when Palmer came, acid on enter-
ing the room, he said he had never dressed so quick in
his life before. Cook was still sitting up in the
bed, and Jones was still supporting him. She waited on
the lauding, and in about a minute or two Palmer
came out and said he was not so ill ; he
went in the direction of his own house. Palmer left the
house and returned in a short time and,re-entered Cook's
room. She then went to the door and she heard Cook
ask to be turned over on his right ride. She
was not in the room at the moment of his death,
but was there a few minutes before Mr. Jones
was attending on him. He was supporting him, and
he had his right arm under Mr. Cook's head.
Palmer was feeling Mr, Cook's pulse, and he said
to Mr. Jones, " His pulse is gone." Mr. Jones
placed his hand to the side of Cook's heart;
he lifted up his arm, but he never spoke. Palmer told
her to go for Dr. Bamford. Dr. Bamford came, and on his
coming down stairs she met him, and he told her
he was dead, and was so when he arrived. Witness then
sat down on the stairs, and after about ten minutes Mr.
Jones came out of the room, and said " Mr. Palmer wants
you, or words to that effect. She went into the room ,
while Cook was lying dead, and Palmer we is
there alone. She said to Palmer, "Is it
possible Mr. Cook is dead ?" Palmer repli ,ed,

_.~.,. ~

•
"Oh yes, he's dead." He said nothing more. He Plod
her who she thought would come to lay him out. Eih#
named two women she thought Mr. Palmer knew, and
be said those are just the women, and he directed
her to fetch them. She bad seen, during the time
Mr. Cook was lying ill, a betting-book. It was
a dark book with a gold band—not a large one. It had
a clasp on on 3 end, and was longer than it was
' broad. It bad a pencil and case on one side,
and she bad seen him with the book before this time in
the possession of Cook. The last time she saw the book
was on the Monday night before the attack. It
was lying on the looking-glass, and Cook asked her to
give him the book and pen andink, as he was going to
write. She gave him the things. She had
searched every place and could not find the book. Oa
the Tuesday night, ten minutes after Cookli death,
she went into the room and found Palmer with a cost
she bad seen Cook wear searching the pockets,
and he also searched under the 'pillow
and bolster. She saw two or three letters lying
on the obimneypiece, but she never taw there
papers left. She had not seen those letters
on the shelf while Cook was alone, and had not seen them
since.

The Court then adjourned till 10 to-morrow morning.

transaction I had with him must be for prompt cash or
cheque on delivery. He said, "Very well; I'll come
on." And he returned with me to my warehouse, where
he began to select a quantity of Scotch and Swiss muse
line. He selected about 300 pieces of muslin, of the value
of 1201. or 1301., and requested me to send him in 57
pieties, which amounted to 181, and said he would give
a cheque for 151, or 181. on account of those goods. I
said " give me a small cheque on account," and if he had
done so I should have felt confidence sufficient to trust
him again. Ho then left me, and I sent the goods by my
brother, to Lime-itreet, with instructions not to leave
them, under any circumstances, without the money, and
that I said in the presence of the defendant. My brother
returned in about ball an hour with the defendant, but
without the goods or the money. My brother made a
communication to me, and I then said to the defend-
ant, " where is the money ?" He replied, " Oh, I was
very short myself, but I have asked my friend,
Mr. Hurs's to lend me the money," I said " Have you
got it ?" He said "no, we want the rest of the goods
sent in." I said I should do nothing of the kind, as I
would not trust him a penny. He said, "Never mind,
friend Bateman, come back with me." I said "I won't
have your cheque or your money ; I'll have the goods
that.l sent to you." And I said "I'll have nothing more
to say to you, but my brother shall gp back and get the
goods." I sent my brother with the defendant for the-
goods, but he returned to me without them ; and on Sa-
turday morning I went to the defendant's counting-house
and demanded nay goods. Hesaid be was extremely sorry,
but he had sold the goods to Mr. Hurst, and Mr. Hurst
had sold them again. I asked bins what right he
had to sell my goods without delivery note or in-
voice from me ? He then called Mr. Hurst, and
they threatened to turn me out off the office. I
said I would not go without the goods, and they
called in a constable. Mr. Hurst said to the defen-
dant "You are a fool for saying you had got the
goods. You've been so all your life, and I suppose
you'll remain so." This was in consequence of the de-
fendant having admitted the receipt of the goods, which
Hurst had just before denied. The constable requested
me to withdraw and apply at the Mansion-house.
Cross-examined by Mr. Green, solicitor to the defen-
dant—l have had previous transactions with the defen-
dant, which were paid by bills that were dishonoured,
but afterwards paid. The invoice produced, dated nth
of May, 1856, in the defendant's handwriting, is not a
correct amount. The letter produced is in my writing,
but I lent the defendant more money, which was the
set-off against the allowance.
To Sir Henry Muggeridge—There is nothing due from
me to the defendant. It was the distinct understanding
.between the defendant and me that I would not let the
goods be left without the money.
Edward Bateman, clerk and warehouseman to the
prosecutor, said—When the defendant called on the §th
inst. ho said he was shipping drills and prints. We deal
in those goods, but had none in stock, only pat-
terns, as we sell by commission. I told him I would tell
my brother to call upon him, and I went to Lime-street
ace ,rdingly and waited outside while my brother went in.
I afterwards heard the defendant say, at our counting-
house, that Swiss muslins and Scotch muslins suited
him very well, and he selected some goods, the terms
for which were to be prompt cash. My brother said to
me, in the defendant's presence, that the defendant
would give me a cheque, and that I was not to leave
the goods without it, and I also got instructions to get
the cheque immediately cashed in case it should be dis-
honoured. The defendant said he would go along with
me, and give me the cheque. It was also said by my
brother, " Let this be fully understsod that this has no-
thing to do with any previous transaction," and the
defendant said, "It libel not." I then took two
boxes containing 57 pieces of muslin to Lime-street,
and was to bring back a cheque for 1.51. or 201.,
or something between those sums, but nothing under
15/, The defendant came up accompanied by one
of the Mr. Hands, and at his desire I followed
him and Mr. Hurst into the private office up-stairs,
where they spoke together for some time. After waiting
about ten minutes, I requested the defendant to be as
quick as possible, as it was nearly 4 o'clock, and I bad
to present the cheque. The elder Mr, Hurst came in,
and the t.lefendant held some conversation with him, and
a piece of paper passed from the former to the latter. I
requested that the cheque might be given to me, or I
should take the goods back. Mr. Hurst said, " Mr.
Turnbull has the cheque, and he will take it with you
to Mr. Bateman." I placed the goods in the office,
and walked away with the defendant, believing that he
bad the cheque. In going along, the defendant said
he would go and get the cheque changed; but I told
him to come with me to the counting-house, as it
wanted three minutes to four o'clock. He did so, and
I told my brother what had passed, and then defendant
said he wanted all the other goods in before a cheque
was given. My brother said no more goods should go
in, and ho would not then take his cheque, and I was
to go and get the goods back. The defendant did not
offer my brother a cheque ; but if my brother sent in
the whole of the goods (amounting to about 1301.), he
would, he said, give the cheque for the amount I was to
have brought back. I then went back to Lime-street
with the defendant, and I saw the goods there. The two
Mr. Hursts and the defendant, and another person, were
iu the office at the time. I went up to the goods and
took hold of them, when Mr. Hurst, sen., threatened to
knock me down, as he had, he said, bought them from
Mr. Turnbull, and sold them again. I said I knew no-
thing about that ; I bad come to fetch them, and he then
took me by the shoulders and pushed me against the
I wall, and said be would kick me out. I then picked up
the box cover to put it on the box, when the two Mr.
Hursts and the defendant rst upon me and held me down
and called to a boy to take away the goods. The boy
took one box, and Mr. Hurst, sen., took the other, and
went up stairs. I rushed against them, and said they
should not go up stairs, and I was pushed back by
Hurst, sen., with the box, and the door was shut against
me. He then said, " Will you go out of this office ? You
have no business here." I said Mr. Turnbull had told
me to come in, and I was not going out without the
goods, Ile said if it was his office he would nut me out,
and he called Hurst, juu., to put me out. He said that
Mr. Turnbull bad no office there, and that I would con-
fer a favour by rubbing Mr. Turnbull's name out, as he
bad nothing to do with the offices. The defendant then
tried to run out, and I ran after, bins and caught the tail
of his coat, and dragged hire in. He said to me that he
bad nothing to do with the goods, that they were Mr.
Hurst's, who had given him an advance upon them. I
asked him for that advance, and slid I would see if Mr.
Bateman would accept it ; but he refused, and said he
bad an account against Mr. Bateman. The witness con-
cluded, atter stating some other particulars showing the
determination of the parties to detain the goods.

BOW-STREET.--Henry Stanton., a well-dressed man,
of immense height and bulk, was charged with being
drunk and assaulting two of the toll collectors of Water-
loo-'ridge.

It appeared that at about half-past 12 o'clock that
naorniug the defendant presented himself at the north
eastern turnstile, which was closed, and the usual notice
posted, to the effect that after 12 o'clock, foot-passen-
gers must go on the other side. Defendant, instead of
crossing to the turnstile on the west side, attempted to
pass through the carriage gate at that side, having thrown
down a halfpenny for his fare. Ooe of the tollrnen
stopped him, and informed him that he could not be
allowed to go that way, but must conform to the rule of
passing on the opposite side in order to go through the
turnstile. He attempted to force his way, and beat the
collector severely about the head with his walking-stick.
The other collector, hearing the scuffle, came out from
the toll-house, and ran to the aid of his fellow-servant.
The defendant beat him in the same way, inflicting a
slight wound behind the ear. They then sprung their
rattles, and, the police coming up, he was taken in
charge. One of the collectors lost a cape in—the
struggle.

Other evidence was given to the effect that the pri-
soner and Brown were residing together at the time of
the robbery ; and, after hearing Mr. Salomons,
The magistrate ultimately remanded the case, to have
the evidence taken in the presence of Brown.

ACTION AGAINST ADVII?AL D'AETH
FOR ASSAULT.

SA.NDWICH, TUESDAY MORNING.
An action, which, it will be remembered, was ad-
journed from the previous court in consequence of the
foreman of the jury turning out to be deaf, was again
heard yesterday before Charles Harwood, Esq , judge
of the County Court, and a jury of five. It was brought
by the plaintiff, a journeyman carpenter, of the name
pf Henry Marley, residing near Wingbam, against Ad-
*nairal D'Aetb, the occupier of Knowlton-park, near
here, and one of the justices for the county, for an as-
sault committed on the plaintiff by the defendant on the
9th of March last, 'Unusual interest was manifested in
the proceedings, and the old Town-hall was crowded
with spectators. The damages were laid at five guineas.
The plaintiff depcsed that on the day in question be
was returning from Chillenden Church, when begot into
converdation with _Harriet Sergeant, who was lady's
maid at Admiral d'Aeth'e. She was going in the same
direction as himself. He bad known her for three months
previously. They were walking quietly along the road,
the other servants being by the side of them, when Ad-
miral d'Aeth suddenly came up behind him, grasped
him by the collar of his coat, and holding up his walk-
ing-stick in plaintiff's face, said, "Young man, hold off
there; don't address another word to my servant, or
speak to her at all." He did not see the defendant
coming. He waved his stick over plaintiff's head within
a foot of plaintiff's face. He pulled plaintiff quite round,
and held him for about a minute.

Harriet Sergeant corroborated the plaintiff's tes'

Among the many precious things that are thrown away
in this world--things sweet and nnsweet—there is nothing
of which there is so little thrift as religious zeal. In this
metropolis, and everywhere else, we dare• say, morality
and religion are urged with a force which, were it only, so
to speak, well engineered, would make this another para-
dise. Unluckily, it runs to waste like a mountain torrent
or a marsh; and you have it either foaming with impetuous
sell-will or fermenting in idleness. This bad economy of
virtue begins very low, where some would hardly think it
existed at all. Go into any lane or court of this city, and
the whole day long you hear mothers screaming the filial
duties into their cildren, bawling obedience, inculcating
quiet at the full pitch of their throats, recommending
ostler with frantic gestures, and peace with blows. At
another time you will find virtuous dames enforcing upon
one another the Ten Commandments in the copious dialect
of calumny and sneer. But it is the same everywhere.
Wisdom cries in our streets. Fortiter in, mode is every-
where the motto of virtue in these days. What magis-
trates, what gaols, what punishments, what enormous
expense in a state which maintains as a fundamental
maxim that for every good purpose "Heaven's first law,
is to let people alone !" Our preachers somehow don't get
the poor to church, but then they give it them well for
not coming. Would they only come, they would hear a
good account of themselves. In fact; religion is no longer
a thing of grace, a home for the broken-hearted, a deli-
verance for the captives, or any of those sweet things it
was once reported to be; it is all yelling anti howling, abus-
ing, stigmatising, denouncing, anathematising, sending men
the wrong way all round, and for every imaginable reason.
On the first provocation you have your cantaskerous agi-
tators, with their armies of signatures and three whole
columns of pious grimace, screeching against the poor
creatures who try to refresh themselves somewhat less
C.XII sob, than usual. What a start the world would make
for the better if but a hundredth part of all this energy
were employed in raising the fallen, in strengthening the
weak, in soothing the afflicted, or in doing some sort of
positive good, instead of these perpetual prohibitions
shouted in the ears of people whose whole life is one of
privation and sorrow ! Pad that is pretty nearly all that
most religionists and moralists can do. They can attend a
meeting and hear one speech more stupid and harsh than
another; they can sign a petition in a dozen places, if ne-
cessary, but they cannot to good to a single soul, nor
supply anything better in place of all the ordinary sources
of recreation thy are so industriously withholding.
Let us take the fact as it stands, or as it stood on Sun-
day last, and as admitted by all sides. About 80,000 per-
sous went to hoer the band in Kensington-gardens; as
,manye;'.or more, in Regent's-park, and as many in Victoria-
`l ark. The great bulk of these were decent-looking people
of the humbler classes, who came out to enjoy the fresh air
and listen to music of the slow and solemn character. That
a quarter of a million of people were all of them as holy,
as pure, as benevolent, as wise, and as good as Mr. Edward
Ealues would perhaps be au overestimate of metropolitan
piety ; at the same time we must say that Mr. Baines has
no right to describe them as consisting in great part " of
vicious persons of both sexes, who came to seduce the
young and unsuspecting." We do not see why apparel
proper for the day is to be described as "Sunday finery,"
or why the wearers being themselves into circumstances of
extreme peril by standing for half an hour to listen to
music among others also in their Sunday's best. Mr.
3 tines is pleased to consider the crowd to consist only of
seducers and those who are only waiting to be seduced ;
but we deny the fact that every one who listens to a
military band is "lost to the sanctuary." Indeed we
know most excellent and even scrupulous people who on
the continent, out of the reach of British twaddle and
British hypocrisy, go as a matter of course to the parade
ee the gardens, where the poor benighted Papists and the
Protestants, equally dark, it appears, walk up and down
and hear military bands. They aro not lost to the sanc-
tuary, even though by force of habit they prefer them-
selves the English mode, when they are in England. As
to the music, Mr. Baines may possibly be of a vary sus-
ceptible nature. Very likely the strains of martial
music" may in his case "cause the pulse to bound, and fire
the imaeination," in a manner " wholly out of accordance
with the sacred repose of the Sabbath." But wo should
think that the effect of a military march on most, minds is
not vezy different from that of an anthem, or even an ordi-
nary psalm tune. It is notorious that the effect of music is
generally much in accordance with the usual bent of the
hearer. It is a species of stimulus which sets his imagi-
nation at work in its customary train ; and, no matter
whether it is a hymn or one of tfandel's choruses, or an
overture, or any slow movement from an opera, it simply
gives a brighter hue, a warmer sentiment, and a quicker
circulation to his ideas. When this sensation is enjoyed,
with leisure and rest on the green award, in the sight of
green trees, water, blue sky, and Heaven, it is at least
much more likely to conjure up pure recollections and
healthy associations than when it is experienced in the
suburban concert room, with the addition, imposed by the
law, of spirituous liquors.
The question is one of simple expediency. Of course,
there are plenty of people ready to catch at our use of the
word, and consign us somewhere without a moment's de-
lay. We mean that it is a question of expediency, in
the same sense as when one decides whether to have a
girl taught music at all ; or, if any, whether any be-
sides religious music. No low, human or divine, can be
shown against listening to music of a soothing, refining,
and elevating character on the Lord's-day. We have no
occasion to discuss whether a man may lawfully listen to a
waltz or a popular air on that day, for the music in ques-
tion is of the slow, solemn sort. Taking, then, the sort of
people that dress in " their Sunday finery," as Mr. Baines
expresses it, and gather round the band, we have only to
ask whether it is a gain or a loss that they are found there.
We do not hesitate ono instant to decide that it is an im-
mense gain. Ou this point we fully believe the evidence
of a clergyman who went to sec for himself, and who says
that of the vast crowd he witnessed in Kensington-gardens
on Sunday last " full 70 out of every 100 were such as would
be found in places where they ought not to be, were it not
for the innocent recreation thus afforded them." No doubt,
he means they would be in the so-called tea-gardens or the
less disguised gin palace., wholly beyond the influence of
superior minds. Assuming this estimate, here were fifty
or sixty thousand persons round one band alone, listening
to solemn music, just as sacred, in fact, as an ordinary
chorus out of an oratorio, under the soothing and purifying
influences of nature, without any other stimulus, who
would have hien at the bar or in the gardens of a public-
house simply stupefying themselves. This we call a gain,
and a very great gain, unless it be gain, as some people
appear to think, to give everybody who is going the wrong
way an additional shove, or at least let him go if he likes.
Mr. Baines, perhaps, will say they ought to have been in a
place of worship, singing a psalm or listening to a sermon.
That, however, is not the question—first, because they
would not have been doing that, even if they had not,
been in Kensington-gardens ; secondly, because it was
qiiite possible to attend two services, hear two sermons,
join in six psalms and hymns, and listen for a couple
of hours to the band in the gardens as well. The ques-
tion lies between listening to a military band in a park
and the pure sottishness in which the great mass of
the London population spend the Sunday. On that
qitestion we have ourselves no doubt. The extension of
the Windsor practice to this metropolis was not meant for
those who have better opportunities of Sun lay repose Of
course, we should ourselves prefer other modes of spending
the leisure hours of Sunday. We should prefer walks in
green lanes, in deep woods, by running streams, and
through flowery meadows. We might prefer even a visit

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MAY 12..
The Right HOnourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Leghorn, re-
porting that the Board of Health at that place has decreed
a quarantine on all vessels coming from the Levant, of five
days in case of their having no sickness on board, or there
having been none during the passage, and of fifteen days
in case of sickness existing on board or death having oc-
curred during the passage.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, May 12.
The Right Honouraßle the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,

General of the province of Angola, notifying that no cus-
toms' duties will be levied at the port of Ambriz on foreign
commerce, until the expiration of one year from the date
of the publication of a tariff of duties, and that the port
will, therefore, continue free for such commerce until the
expiration of that period.

ter, which were uttered as if he were in a great passion.
She was frightened, and made haste home, without
turning round to see what happened.
In cross-examination she admitted having received
notice from Mrs. d'Aeth that she did not allow followers.
The defendant swore distinctly that he never touched
the plaintiff.
Miss d'Aeth and several other witnesses deposed that
they never saw any assault committed. In cross•exami-
nation, however, they admitted that they were some
distance from the admiral and the plaintiff.
The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.
The announcement of the verdict was received with
rapturous applause, which the officers of the court were
unable to restrain. The feeling of the audience was fre-
quently exhibited during the hearing of the case, not-
withstanding the judge's threat to commit the parties
for contempt of court. The bells of the parish church
were also rung, as the admiral left the town, in opposi-
tion to the ordera of the incumbent, the Rev. Mr. Gilder,
who commanded the ringers to cease, when the inhabi-
tants themselves took possession of the belfry, and be-
ing unaccustomed to the exercise made a very extraor-
dinary noise.

his money on the tura-table, he considered that,he bad

justified in forcing his way. Hie reason for refusing to
cross to the west side was that there was a deep puddle
in his way, into which ho must have stepped. Being
very subject to colds, and having thin dress boots on,
he did not like to get in the wet. He told the collector
that, but the man would not listen to him.

Mr. Henry said the collector was perfectly right. He

which cave the proprietors authority to make certain
regulations, and one of these was that foot passenger.;
should pass through the turnstile, and as the company
could not be expected to keep collectors at both sides of
the way after twelve o'clock at night, people who arrived
on that side must cross over.
