CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY).

FOURTH DAY.
This morning the court was more crowded than upon
any previous day, there being an immense number of
the medical profession present.
Earl Grey was again present, arriving before the
court opened. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister,
was amongst those upon the bench.
The first witness called was—
George Bates, examined by Mr. Edwin James.—l
was once a farmer. lam nothing now. I have known
Palmer eight or nine years. In October and Novem-
ber last year I used to look after his horses and boys. I
had no stipulated salary ; some weeks I had two
sovereigns, sometimes one. I lodged in Rugeley, and
paid 6s. 6d. a-week. I knew deceased. I saw him
at prisoner's house in September. I cannot recollect
the date. I dined there with. them. After dinner
the subject of insuring my life was brought up.
Mr. Sergeant Slice objected to this course of exa-
mination.

Mr. Edwin James and the Attorney-General having
said a few words as to the purport of the evidence to
be given, the objection was allowed.
Witness in continuation—l recollect Cook's death. I
remember the inquest. I know Ward, the coroner. I
saw prisoner upon the Bth of December. He gave me a
letter. I think this is it. He also gave me one to
France, a dealer in game at Stafford. I was to get some
game from France. It was a basket. I did so, and
according to prisoner's orders I directed it to Ward, the
coroner. I gave a man threepence to take the game.
I went to the Dolphin at Stafford, where I saw Ward.
He was in the smokeLroorn. He came out into the yard,
and I gave it to him. I called him out because there
were others in the room. I came back to Stafford and
saw Palmer and told him what I had done. About 12
upon the morning of the itth December I was sent for
to the prisoner's house. I found him in bed. He said
he wanted me to take a letter to Ward, and I was not
to let any one see me give it to him. He said, "Go
to Ben and tell him that I want 51., that he had ne
small change."
Mr. Edwin James—Who is Ben ?
Witness—Mr. Palmer's assistant, Thurlby.
The witness, in answer to further questions, said
Palmer told me to look into a drawer and see the
amount of a bill there. I did so, and saw the amount
of the bill. It was a fifty-pound Bank of England note.
I left it there. It was before I took the letter to Ward.
After finding the note I went to Thurlby's to borrow the
five pounds, and I got a note on the Bridgnorth Bank,
which I took to Mr. Palmer. After that I went down
stairs from Palmer's room ; he was sitting up in bed,
with the writing materials beside him. I remained down
stairs about half an hour in the yard or kitchen. When I
went up again Palmer aked me what was the amount
of the bill in the drawer I took, and I believe it
was the amount I have mentioned. Then he gave me
the letter to take to Stafford. I delivered the letter in
Stafford, near the railway station. I gave it to Ward,
and he crumpled it up and put tt in his pocket ; be did
not read it in my presence. I think I told Ward from
whom I had brought it, and then I returned to ilugeley,
and saw the prisoner the same evening. I told him I
had given Ward the letter, and he did not make any
rem ark.

produce tetanus. In respect of generaibonitulsions not
absolutely tetanic (without premonitory symptoms) but
producing sickness and vomiting, would not, I think,
end in tetanus. Ido not know if convulsive shrieking
would produce tetanus.
Dr. Todd, examined by the Attorney-General, said—
I am a physician at King's College Hospital. I have
lectured upon tetanus, and I agree with the last wit-
ness. I have seen cases of idiopathic tetanus, they come
from no external wound, ,out from constitutional causes.
I think the term tetanus ought not to apply to poison
cases. The first symptom of tetanus is stiffness of the
jaw. There are no intermissions, but there aro diminu-
tions, but no subsidence. Acute cases will terminate
in 3 or 4 days, but chronic ones will continue for 19 to
22 days. Tae locking of the jaw is the first symptom.
Epilepsy will produce convulsions, and epileptic con-
vulsions arc tetanic in form. Epileptic convulsions are
soon over ; they are not parsiAent. I should say that
apoplexy would not produce tetanus ; but if there was an
effusion of blood upon the brain, that might produce
tetanic symptoms. The spasm extends to the heart in
cases of strychnine. A medics' practitioner would not.
I think, have any difficulty in distinguishing tetanic
from other convulsions. I have heard the examination
about the spinal cord, and think that if disease had been
in existence it would easily have been detected.
Sir Benjamin Brodie, examined by Mr. E. James—l
am surgeon of Guy's, and have had many cases
of tetanus during the years I have been there.
I have heard the symptoms of death described. This
idiopathic tetanus generally commences with a stiffness
of the lower jaw. The contraction of the back and
muscles is an after symptom generally much later—
affects the extremities in a less degree than the back and
trunk. In ordinary cases it generally lasts for three or
four days. I have heard of one case terminating in
twelve hours; but then I think the early symptoms had
been overlooked. I never knew that the ordinary symp-
toms lasted a few minutes, then subside and then return
after a lapse of 24 hours. I have never seen the effects
of strychnia in human life. In my opinion Cook's
death did not arise from either descriptions of tetanus.
I never heard that sore throats caused tetanus, or from
any syphilitic affection at all. I never knew of either
epilepsy or apoplexy producing tetanus ; it is always
continuous. I may as well state that, from what I have
heard of the description of Cook's death, I do not
think that the symptoms arose from any disease at all.
(Great sensation.)
I refer not to the particular symptoms, but to the
course symptoms took.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l recollect being
shown one case of idiopathic tetanus, but doubted if it
was one.

By Mr. Sergeant Shee—Considering the rarity of the
case, would you from an opinion from an opinion from
the statements which you heard from a country prac-
titioner and a chambermaid ?
Lord Campbell interfered, and said he did not think
such a question should be put.
Sergeant Sbee—Which would you prefer, the cham-
bermaid or the practitioner.
The Court ruled that such a question should not be
put.
Sergeant Shee—Have you heard of cases where
syphilitic poison has caused convulsions?
Wituess—Only when it has reached the bones of the
head and caused disease.
The Court then adjourned for a few minutes.
On the re•assembling of the Court,
Application was hero made that the depositions of
Dr. Bamford might be put in, as he was too ill at pre-
rent to attend. Tim learned gentleman read, an autho-
rity as a precedent for such a proceeding.
Sergeant Shee had not the slightest objection to such

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—l'almer had
four brood mares and four yearlings, and a three-year-
old. I cannot tell their value. I heard that one sold
for 800 guineas. I cannot say whether soy were in
foal in November. The stables were at the back of the
house, and the paddock was also there. The stables
were in it. It comprised about 20 acres, and was fenced
in with hawthorn. I remember a male called the
Duchess of Kent slipping her foal, which couldnot be found.
Goldfinder's dam was there. On one occasion I made a re-
mark to Harry the groom about the state of the turf. I
never saw dogs in the paddocks. I attribute the cutting
up of the turf to the galloping of the horses. I have
seen a gun where the corn was kept. I have not used
it. I know now the person who came to me in Sep-
tember is Inspector Field. I cannot tell whether he
saw Palmer. He was a stringer to me at first. I never
saw him but once, and I don't know him now. I re-
member seeing Gillard, a sheriff's officer, in the yard of
Palmer's house when I went down after looking at
money in the drawer.
Re-examined by the Attorney-General—The time
the turf was cut up, was after hay harvest. I
cannot say how long it was before Cook's death that
I made the remark about the turf being cut up.
Mr. Thomas Curling sand—l am a surgeon at the Lon-
don hospital. I have turned my attention particularly
to tetanus. I have published a work on that subject.
Tetanus causes a spasmodic affection of the voluntary
muscles of motion. There are only two sorts of disease,
idiopathic and traumatic. There are ethers, but not true
tetanus. The idiopathic is a primary disease. Traumatic
tetanus arises from injuries. Idiopathic tetantis arises
often from cold or exposure. I never saw a case of
idiopathic tetanus. I have seen 20 cases of traumatic te-
tanus. The disease first manifests itself by stiffness about
the jaws or neck, and a clagging pain at the pit •f the
stomach ; in many cases the muscles of the back are
affected. The patient is liable to paroxysms, and as the
disease goes on those paroxysms become more frequent
and more severe. When this occurs the body is drain
back—in some instances forward, then there is a diffi-
culty in swallowing and breathing during the paroxysms.
The disease may end two ways—the patient may die
somewhat suddenly from suffocation, or enclosure of
the windpipe or glotis, or the patient might be worn
out with the paroxysms and then he would gradually
sink and die. These are the general symptoms.
The locking of the jam is constant from tetanus from
wounds—it is almost constant. I may say a constant
consequence. It shows itself early. There is also a
peculiar expression of the countenance—generally
throughout, which is not peculiar in idiopathic
or traumatic tetanus. My observations are with
reference to the latter. There is a contracted con-
dition of the eye-lids—the rising of the angle of the
mouth, and there is a contraction of the bowels. The lower
extremities are affected, and sometimes, but rarely, the
upper extremities. The muscles mostly affected are
those of the trunk. The muscles of the extremities are
affected at various periods of the disease, but generally
at an advanced peri ;d. I have never known or read of
tetanus being produced by sore throat, nor from a cer-
tain disease.
I Lord Campbell asked whether it was necessary to
proceed with that investigation ?
The Attorney-General said yes. The prisoner has
given us notice that that would be one of his defences.
Mr. Sergeant Shoe explained.
The Attorney-General said he could only anticipate
that course.

a proceeding.
Lord Campbell said if the Attorney-General wished
the depositions of Dr. Bamford to be read, and Sergeant
Shee did not object, the depositions might be read,
but ha would not give any opinion on the point.
The Attorney-General asked the witness, Dr. Todd, if
he had keen Dr. Bamford lately ?
Dr. Todd—Yes, yesterday; he was:then too unwell to
attend.
Another medical gentleman attending on Dr. Rim-
ford, having been sworn, stated that be had seen Dr.
Bamford that morning, and he was too unwell to at-
tend.

The depositions were then read and the cause of Cook's
death was attributed to apoplexy, a certificate being
given to that effect by Dr. Bamford.
Dr. Todd then said—l have heard the depositions of
Dr. Bamford read, and I cannot agree that the de-
ceased died from apoplexy. There were poisons which
will produce tetanus. Those poisons which contain
strychnine and brucia. The smallest quantity of these
poisons that would kill would perhaps be half a
graip, but I should not like to give a quarter
of a grain. Half of a grain might produce death,
but a grain certainly would. Half a grain would
kill a cat. I have given it to animals in solution. A
large dame would act in about half an hour. The symp-
toms would consist in strong convulsions. There
would be violent jerking arising from the spasms.
Death would be over in a quarter of an hour, or half an
hour, if a dose sufficient to destroy life was given. There
would be a marked distinction between that caused by
strychnine and tetanus. I have heard the description
given by Dr. Bamford of Cook's death, and I don't
think he died from traumatic tetanus. I have seen a
case of a person suffering from an overdose of
strychnine. There would be a stiffness of the limbo,
and the other symptoms that have been described.
I ael of opinion from what I have beard that Mr. Cook's
death resulted from tetanus produced by strychnine.
Cross-examined by Mr. Grove—There are cases of
every degree of convulsions—running from the mild 1
form into the tetanic form imperceptibly—but then there
would be a difference in the muscles affected. The wit-
ness was then examined on the scientific effect of strych-
nine ma the human body, and also with reference to a
work he has published bearing on the point, but which
WaR devoid of interest to the general reader. He wae
also examined with reference to the evidence of other
•
medical men on the effect of this poison.
Witness continued—A speedy examination of the
spinal cord immediately after death was imnortant iu
a pathological point of view. Morbid appearances of
the death are produced, sirnilating the appearance of
disease before death. The signs of decomposition would
be easily recognised. Granules upon the spinal
as described, I think, were not likely to pro-
duce tetanus. I am not aware of any cases
, were small granules on the arachnoid have produced
tetanus. I think the cause of death from strychnine to
arise partly from a difficulty of action in the respiratory
organs, and partly from general nervous excitement. I
think :there is a difference of opinion with reference
to that, or whether the animals .experimented on
died from asphyxia. I think the word " suffocated" is
used loosely in the medical works. If an animal dies of
asphyxia the heart is full of blood. I can't remember
whether in my experiments on animals with strychnine
it did not take effect for an hour or so after adminis-
tration.

Cross examination continued—l think it very ur.

likely tetanus should arise from that. I know of no
such a case. In a case of traumatic tetanus, after the
disease has taken a fatal turn, death ensues from 24
hours to 3 or 4 days. The shortest period might be
8 to 10 hours. The exact time cannot be
precisely ascertained. The disease is continu-
ous. I have never known an interval of 24
hours between the attacks. From the description
of Mr. Jones, the symptoms in the deceased were dif-
ferent from traumatic tetanus I have ever seen. There
was here a sudden onset of the fatal symptoms. In
all cases the disease would be preceded by the minor
symptoms of tetanus, which gradually develope them-
selves into the more serious and fatal symptoms. On
the Monday night I should think there were no symp•
tomms in the deceased of either idiopathic or
traumatic tetanus. There is also hysteric tetanus,
hysteria combined with spasms, but I know of no
instance of its being fatal, or of a male suffering
from it. Nux ' vomica, in its two forms, will
produce tetanus. No other poisons will produce it.
I have never seen any oases of tetanus resulting from
poison.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l have known
spasms arise from a disease of the spinal cord. A disease of
the nerves proceeding to the spinal cord might produce
tetanus. I agree with Dr. Watson that in four
cases out of five traumatic tetanus begins with
lock-jaw, and that it frequently arises from slight
causes, such as a blow from the lash of a whip
under the eye, though the skin was not broken—the
cutting a corn, bite of thefinger, &c. Traumatic tetanus
I don't think could occur within a quarter of an hour
after an injury. I know of .no such a case.
Lord Campbell objected to the cross-examination
being conducted from printed books.
Cross-examination continued---I know of a case where
a body being opened after death from tetanus, and sy-
philitic symptoms were discovered. It was not my
case. The man was out of the hospital half an hour.
I don't think it likely that a syphilitic sore, even if ex-
posed to wet or cold, would produce tetanus ; neither
do I think any excitement would produce it. The con-
tractions of epilepsy are trot continuous for five minutes
together. I do not know of a case of convulsions attri-
butable to no particular cause, but occurring violently

Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l should ex-
pect to find the heart rather empty of blood, and rather
contracted after the use of strychnine.
Dr. Daniels, of Bristol, was called, and said,—l have
retired from practice, and have seen a great many cases
of tetanus. I agree with the medical gentlemen who
have been examined. I have seen two cases
of idiopathic tetanus, and one of which terminated
fatally. The symptoms were not so severe as in the
case of traumatic tetanus. I could not trace those
causes. I agree with the statement of the prisoner's
witnesses as to the causes of ordinary tetanus. I have
heard a description of Cook's symptoms. They
were distinct from the symptoms of the cases of tetanus
I have seen. I agree with Sir Benjamin Brodie as to
the points of distinction. Tetanus begins with uneasi-
ness in the lower jaw, followed by spasms of the muscles.
I don't think the clenching of the hands is the
effect of ordinary tetanus. I have seen a great many
cases of syphillis. I never remember a sore from such
a course produce tetanus. I do not consider Cook's
symptoms were either apoplexy or epilepsy. In my
judgment Cook's symptoms could not be referred to
idecepathic or trumatic tetanus.
Cross-examined by Mr. Groves—l am not aware of
excitement or irritation proceeding from vomiting or
tetanic convulsions. I have seen the bodies of persons
who bad died from suffocation.
(We shall continue it in our third edition.)

The following are assigned by M. de Bazancourt
as the reasons which led to the non-exezution of
the plan of campaign proposed by the Emperor of
the French in the letter to his Majesty, which we
published yesterday :
"If the Emperor renounced with regret the idea of
his visit to the Crimea, it was also with profound griet
that the army, which attended his arrival with impa-
tience, learned that the hope was to be given up. When
Commandant Pave brought the Emperor's instructions
from Paris, events had hurried onwards ; and already
there appealed the germ of those differences which
afterwards rose amongst the commanders of the allied
troops.

" The plan of operations was, according to the orders
of the Emperor, communicated to the generals•in-chief ;
but General Canrobert, by a presentiment which s,ron
after was realised, (lid not shut his eyes to the difficul-
ties which were about to arise; and, in consequence, he
despatched the following private despatch :
" The three generals•in•chief are about to be called
on to assume the offensive against the exteri,lr army,
their point to proceed against being Simpheropol and
Bakshi-Sergi ;• but, in these grave cireunastance,, I can-
not help deploring here the absence of a generalissimo,
some man of great authority, high position, and suffi-
ciently old experience to dominate everything.'
"That will always be in every army the essential
point, as from the want of uuily in the chief command
must always result delays, hesitations, and differences.
That, it cannot be denied, was the great stumbline• block
in the way of the Crimean expedition ; it existed always,
at every moment, creating obstacles and delays, and
throwing insurmountable difficulties around the expedi-
tion.

"Lord Raglan had a decided dislike to the plan of
operating on the exterior. At first he desired, in con-
cert with Omer Pacha, to operate by Eupatoria ; but
the disadvantages of that movement were so evident, so
incontestable, and so clearly enumerated is the plan of
campaign, that the Allied Generals were constrained to
yield to the just observations of the French General.
"Then arose in the council a new difficulty—the road
from Alouchta to Simpheropol appeared to Lord Raglan
too exposed, and he considered that from Baidar to
Baltshi-Serai preferable. But it was evident that Lord
Raglan yiwlded from weariness of discussion and not
from conviction; and the consequence was, that at each
instant, and in every question of detail, the tacit oppo-
sition of his mind made itself felt without his intending it.

"In face of the terrible and doubtful chances of a
general assault, and of the perpetual menace of the north
side of the town, which our attacks could not attain,
and which would always escape from us, General Can-
robert, after so many disappointed hopes and so many
unexpected and unfavourable events, attached to the
projected operation so great an importance for the suc-
cess of the campaign that he did not hesitate to make
the sacrifice of himself to what he regarded as the capital
point of the situation.
"In order to arrive promptly at a successful result,
he proposed to Lord Raglan to give up to him (the
EnglisbfGeneral) the supreme command, and he entreated
Omer Facile most earnestly to follow his example and
to act under the orders of Lord Raglan.
"His lordship was for an int•tant astonished at this
proposition, for tnere was in it a self-denial for the public
good often difficult for even the mobt elevate f minds.
It was, beside-, a heavy responsibi ity, the sudden weight
of which, perhaps, terrified the English General. He
at first refused, then hesitated, then accepted, and after-
wards demanded that the French troops should under-
take to occupy and defend the English trenches.
"That strange proposition could not be accepted. The
development of our lines already demanded for daily
guard a large number of troops ; and it was ti,,t poe-
bible, without serious inconvenience and an increase of
daily loss of life, to augment the number. The Eug-

!ishtrenches could alone be occupied by the EnglisTe
Tue general refused. Front that moment there were no
menus of coining to an understanding. Two conferences,
toe first of which lasted nearly seven hours, could u,t
vanquish the repugnance of Lord Raglan. The first
blow sustained by the good relations which until then
had existed between the two generals-in-chief was the
recall of the K each expedition ; and the refusal of Lord
Raglan to co-operate with the plan of attack proposed
to him by General Canrobert was the last. In conse-
quence or this refusal, the position of the general-in-
chief of the FreLch army with respect to the troops
whom he commanded, and to the chief of the allied
:Limy, became almost untenable.
" The resolution of General Caurobert in this circum-
stance was speedilytaken, he did not hesitate to sacrifice
hia.self for the public welfare, acid to descend of his own
freewill, and in the interest of the common, weal, from
the elevated rank to which he had been raised by his
Sovereign. It General Canrobert kept the real cause
of his sudden determination secret, by ascribing it to
his ill-health, he stateet the truth to his Sovereign. He
thus writes to the Emperor on the 19th of May :
" Tile little relative effect produced by the numerous
and excellent batteries of the allies against Sebastopol ;
the non-attack of our external lines by the enemy ; the
re-opening of the fire, an aggressive measure which had
appeared very probable, and on which I had founded
hopes of a success more decisive than that of Inkerman ;
the arduous difficulties which I have experienced in pre-
paring the execution of the plan of campaign of your
Majesty, now become nearly impossible by the non-
co-operation of. the chief of the English army ; the
very false position towards the English in which
the latter has placed me ; the sudden recall of the
Kertch expedition, to which, I have since discovered,
they attached a great importance ' • the extraordinary
moral and physical fatigues to which, for nine months, I
have not ceased to be subjected; all these reasons, sire,
have produced in my mind the conviction that I ought
not to direct in chief au immense army, whose esteem,
affection, and confidence I have been enabled to obtain.
From that moment my duty towards your Majesty and
towards the country was to demand my being replaced
by the general for whom, in his intelligent foresight, the
Emperor had confided to me aletter of the Commander-r-
e and who united the conditions of capacity, mural
autnority, habit of conoucting great undertakings, wish
the energy necessary to bring to a fortunate and serious
result the vast enterprise with which the death of my
predecessors and the will of the Emperor had charged
me. The soldiers and the officers are all well acquainted
vith the warlike qualities of General Pelissier,; they

will give nim all their confidence, and the co-operation
of us all is secured to him ; and I know that your new
general-in-chief has the strongest faith i❑ his success.
Your Majesty will allow me to observe that my name
is too well known to the troops, whose confident affection
has never ceased to do me honour, for me under exist-
ing circumstances not to remain in the midst of them, iu
order, in their fatigues and danger 4, to net them a❑ ex-
amble of devotedness to the service and glory of the En-
perur and of France. I, therefore, request your Maje-ty
to allow me to command a simple division in this fine
and heroic army, whose conduct has conferred and will
continue to confer so much honour on France.'
" To the Minister of War he wrote thus :
" The army which I leave to my successor has come
omit of the rude and perilous trials it has had to undergo,
toiler of ardour and conffleuee than ever. It is a glory
for France, and has never ceased to be to me a source of
consolation from the devotednews which it has show*
towards me up to this day, and it is ready to ace nopiish
the greatest undertakings which may be enjoined for the
glory of the Emperor.'
"After General Canrobert hall despatched by tele-
graph the communication recoried above, he requested
the presence of General Pelissier in his tent, to whom
tie confided his intention of lay ng down the chief com-
mand. Tue language uf General Canrobert greatly ha-
pressed General Pelissier, who in vain attempted to shake
his resolution. General,' exclaimed the latter, lim-
plore you not to carry out your intention ; later you
win bitterly regret having done so.' General Canrobert
simply replied, 'To have performed my duty can never
become to me a subject of regret.' He them described
to his successor the position in which he was placed,
and the difficult relations which existed between him and
Lord Raglan, and which rendered his further presence
at the head of the French army almost impossible.
General Pelissier listened to his late commander with
emotion, and once more requested him to delay the
execution of the plan he had decided on. 'The despatch
has left,' replied General Canrobert, and he handed to
his successor a copy of it. General Pelissier read it,
and then, in silence, shook the two hands of General
Canrobert, and the generals separated.
"The next day the following telegraphic despatch
reached head-quarters :

CRYSTAL PALACE—CONCERT DAY, FRIDAY, MAY 10.

ported by the principal members of the Royal Italian

with such immense success as induces us to augur fa-
vourably for the result of the entire enterprise.

THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN PROPOSED defatigable support which has seconded my efforts during
BY THE EMPEROR. i the different trials that we have passed through. For
my own part I have asked of the Emperor, and now
demand of our new commander•in•chief, not the honour
of the command of an important corps•d'armile, to which
the Emperor bits appointed me, but that of resuming the
command of a division.' The emotion created by the
latter words was intense, and was increased when Gen.
Pelisier recalled the signal services rendered by Gen.
Canrobert to the army and to his country. The inter-
view then came to an end.' "
