the hair it imparts the most delightful coolness, with an
agreeable fragrance of perfume. It also, at this period of the

thin or turning grey, will prevent its further progress, and
soon restore it again. Those who really desire to have beau-
tiful hair, either with wave or curl, should use it daily. It is

scurf, and producing new hair, whiskers, and moustaches.

TEE POISONINGS B V ANTIMONY AT

LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

To-day the borough coroner, Mr. Curry, pro-
ceeded with the inquest on the body of Mrs. Ann
James, whose death it is alleged was caused by
antimony administered by Thomas Winslow, the
residuary legatee under the deceased's will.
The first witness examined was Jane Cafferatta,
wife of Henry Cafferatta, ornamental japanner,
residing in Manchester—Knew the deceased, who
was her aunt. She kept an eating and boarding.
house, in Vauxhall-road, Liverpool. She was 52
years of age. Within the last few months the
establishment consisted of the deceased, two
female servants, and Thomas Winslow. Winslow
had the entire management. Previous to Decem-
ber last the deceased had frequent bilious attacks,
with vomitings and purgings. I formed the
conclusion they were bilious attacks. In February
last she was summoned by Winslow to Liver-
pool, and found deceased suffering from a severe
bilious attack, accompanied by sickness and purg-
ing. She stayed with her a fortnight, during
which time her food—eggs, tea, and sago—was pre-
pared in the daytime by witness, and at night by
Winslow. She recovered from that illness, but had
a similar attack in March, and on May 2 Winslow
again sent for witness, enclosing a sovereign for
expenses. Deceased complained of a great pain in
her side, and was very sick. The same course as
before was pursued with regard to the preparation
of the food, and she appeared to be rather worse at
night than in the daytime. At the request of Dr.
Cameron, deceased's medical attendant, witness pre-
served the vomits. On the 10th inst. Dr. Cameron
told her that for her aunt's safety, and to prevent
another occurrence, she had better be removed to
the hospital, which was done, and she died there
last Sunday, June 24. Her aunt had made a will,
which she believed Winslow arranged the prepara-
tion of. After the removal of deceased to the hos-
pital Winslow said to her, " You have been Pal-
merising your aunt and poisoned her. You are
worse than Palmer." Had never been aware that
her aunt was possessed of considerable property,
and had never asked her to make a will. Martin
Townshend, a brother of witness, was a lodger in
the house.
Eliza Higgins, a servant in the deceased's em-
ploy, stated that when Townshend heard of de-
ceased's death he said, " I have for a long time been
looking for this, and now I am master." I also
heard the husband of the last witness say that he
was going to get one of Mr. Cameron's prescrip-
tions made up, and that there was to be poison in
it, and that if the deceased took two spoonsful of
laudanum it would do her good. This was said by
Cafferatta to his wife, the last witness. I heard
Martin Townshend say, the week that deceased
was taken to the hospital, that he had been watch-
ing for his opportunity, and it had come at last.
He said it in the shop, when there were several
persons present.
Another servant, and Henry Bagnall, a lodger,
gave confirmatory evidence of the alternate pre-
paration of the food.
Inspector Horn, of the detective force, examined
—On Sunday, the 10th inst., between the hours of
11 and 12, I accompanied Mr. Superintendent
Kehoe and Dr. Cameron to the house of Mrs. James,
the deceased. One of the servants opened the
door, and the first person we afterwards saw was
Winslow. Accompanied by Dr. Cameron, we went
into the parlour, where the deceased was being
dressed and preparing to go to the hospital. There
was a cup on the table, which contained a small
portion of saga. Deceased said that that morning
she had eaten a quantity of sago, which Winslow
had brought her in the cup, about five o'clock in the
morning. I took the cup containing the sago, se-
veral bottles of medicine, and a bottle of wine. I
sealed up the bottles, and covered up the cup con-
taining the:sago, and delivered them to Dr. Ed-
wards. I also took possession of a quantity of sago
on a shelf in the shop, which I also delivered to Dr.
Edwards. I afterwards was told in the house that
Winslow prepared the food that night. On the
Wednesday following, the 13th, Winslow called at
the police-office, and seemed very anxious. He said
he had been informed by Dr. Cameron that anti-
monyhmcaiamude had

knew the deceased's will had been prepared by Mr.
John Buck Lloyd, but that he was not aware how
she had disposed of her property.] On Saturday
last I took Winslow into custody, at the deceased's
residence, telling him that it was on suspicion of
having poisoned the deceased with antimony on the
10th of June. He denied it, but said he had suspi-
cions of the husband of Jane Cafferatta, who was
the son of a chemist, and residing in Manchester.
I told him that antimony had been found in the
cup containing the sago prepared on the 10th inst.
He replied, " I made the sago that morning, at five
o'clock, but I did not put any antimony into it. I
know the use of antimony, but I have not used any

for 18 years. The sago I made I got from the
packet on the shelf." Winslow then pointed to a
drawer, and said, " I had better take care of her
effects." I opened the drawer, and found that it
contained a gold watch, £35 in money, a bank-
book, some scrip for gas shares, and the deceased's
will. Winslow added that no one knew but him-
self what the old lady was worth.
The will was produced in court, from which it
appeared that Winslow is appointed sole executor
and residuary legatee.
At the close of this witness's examination, the
further investigation was adjourned until to-
morrow.

too, was wonderfully well given. In response to
the loud and unanimous plaudits that greeted
"France! France!" (at the termination of the
programme) the Orpheonists, as before, sang " God
save the Queen," with hearty enthusiasm. Scarcely,
however, had the last phrase of our national anthem
died away, than the familiar strains of " Partant
pour la Syrie" were heard--not from the " Guides,"
as was naturally anticipated, but from a military
band which, for a short space, was invisible both to
the audience and to the foreign musicians who filled
the Handel orchestra and appeared wholly at a
loss to account for the phenomenon. When at
length, however, the real Simon Pure, in the shape
of the excellent band of the Royal Marine Light
Infantry (conductor, Mr. Winterbottom), was dis-
covered, stationed in the loftiest gallery at the side
opposite the orchestra, and playing with might and
main, the Orpheonists and their instrumental
brethren of the " Guides," evidently touched by
this unexpected mark of sympathy, broke out into
enthusiastic cheering, which almost drowned the
efforts of the harmonious Marines, and rendered
" Partant pour la Syrie" indistinguishable. The
cheering gave way in time to a spontaneous impro-
visation, vocal and instrumental, on the part of the
French, of " God Save the Queen ;" and this, in its
turn, was again responded to on our side by the
familiar medody of Queen Hortense, till in the end
neither party seeming inclined to yield the last note
to its antagonist, the musical contest was abandoned,
and cheers and counter-cheers from either side made
a suitable and effective " finale" to the friendly,
though uproarious, demonstration. The commis-
sariat department became thenceforward in univer-
sal request, and, although the fountains were play-
ing outside, Mr. Strange and his active myrmidons
had their hands full—the new rooms, to say nothing
of the counters adjacent to the central transept, or
the tables near the historical screen, whence the
effigies of England's Kings and Queens looked
down in grim and stately silence on the bustling
scene, were literally besieged with applicants, who,
satiated with the feast of harmony, had imbibed an
appetite for more substantial fare.

The immense success of this third performance
has led to the institution of a fourth, to take place
to-morrow, at the same hour, when, in a pro•
gramme composed of those pieces which have
elicited the greatest amount of favour, the French
Orpheonists, and the band of the " Guides," will
bid adieu to their English friends. On this occa-
sion the usual charge of admission on Saturdays
(2s. 6d.) is to be retained for the accommodation
of the public at large. Meanwhile it may be added
that the members of the Sacred Harmonic Society
have invited the Orpheonists this evening to a spe •
cial performance at Exeter-hall, when selections
from the airs and choruses of Handel will be given,
with Mademoiselle Parepa, Madame Sainton, and
Mr. Sims Reeves as solo-vocalists, and Mr. Costa
as conductor.
