appearance since the discharge of her two sisters.
She seemed to listen with the utmost attention and

anxiety to the evidence, especially that of Mr.
Nunneley.
The same magistrates were present to-day, Mr.
E. Taw presiding.
Mr. Shaw again appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Wheelhouse for the defence.
After the despatch of our parcel yesterday, Mr.
Nunneley's examination was resumed, and he de-
, posed, in the strongest. and most positive manner,
to the finding of poison—arsenic—in the portions
of the viscera which he had analyzed, and he was
fully convinced that Miss Adamson had died from
the administration of arsenic. The symptoms
which usually attended poisoning by arsenic did
not always take place.
Mr. Wheelhouse subjected the witness to a search-
ing cross-examination, but did not succeed in shak-
ing his evidence in the smallest particular.
Mr. Nunneley said he was a witness for Palmer,
and in his opinion Palmer was hanged improperly;
for he did not believe now that strychnine was
found in the bodies of the persons whom it was
alieged he had poisoned. When he made the
analysis of the viscera of Miss Adamson he found
poison, and pointed it out to Mr. Wadding`on, who
was present. He was assisted in his analysis by
Mr. Reynolds, of Leeds.
The Court then adjourned, and on reassembling
this morning,
Mary Link was called. and, in reply to Mr. Shaw,
stated that she was a dressmaker, end used to work
occasionally for Miss Adamson. On the 2d August,
which was Mr. Wood's birthday, she dined with
Emma Stringer in the kitchen. Mr. Wocd dined
with Miss Adamson. Emma Stringer cooked the
dinner and prepared the tea and supper. Witness
stopped in the house all right, and slept with
Emma Stringer. There is a room between the ser-
vant,' room and the room Miss Adamson slept in.
The witness continued—ln the night I was
awakened in consequence of Miss Adamson beiaga
taken poorly. She vomited violently, and Emma
Stringer went into her room, and on her return she
told me Miss Adamson was taken sick. I remained
till the morning, and Miss Adamson was again
taken sick early in the morning, and vomited. I
can't remember the hour at which she was taken
sick. I got up a little before 7 o'clock. I saw Miss
Adamson during the day. I went home to break-
fast, and returned again to the house to inquire how
Miss Adamson was. Emma Stringer told me she
was going to make the breakfast for Miss Adamson.
I esked her how she was, and she said she was a
little better. On the Sunday after the birthday I
saw Miss Adamson going to chapel, and asked her
how she was, and she said she was well then. I
saw Miss Adamson again on the Bth of August, and
she said she was ill—her somacli was out of order.
Emma Stringer sent for me, and told me that I was
to write for Dr. Hirst ' • that Miss Adamson wished
it. I did not see Miss Adamson that day—she was
in bed. I slept there on the night of the Bth of
August with Emma Stringer. On that night again
Miss Adamson was taken poorly, and Emma
Stringer again got up and went to her twice during
the night. Miss Ad mson appeared, from the noise
I heard, to be vomiting. Emma Stringer, on her
return to me, said, " Miss Adamson is taken sick,
and her stomach is out of order." She added that
Miss Adamson was subject to such attacks. I staid
in the house that day, and helped to make Miss
Adamson's bed. She sat in a chair folded in a blan-
ket. She appeared very ill. She had her eyes closed
at the time. When Dr. Hirst had gone I asked Emma
Stringer what the doctor said, and she said that the
doctor said Miss Adamson was suffering from gas-
tric fever and bronchitis. Emma took up Miss Adam-
son's breakfast. It consisted of tea and dry toast.
At the request of Emma I went to D:atcar for her
si..ter Abigail, and returned with he:. . The only
time after that that I saw Miss Adamson was the
night before she died. I called several times to in-
quire after deceased, and Emma said Miss Adamson
did not wish to see any one When I saw her the
day before her deanh. Miss Adamson told me she
was going to die, and she wished me to go for
Father Young. I asked her how she was, and she
put her hand up to her throat and said, " Oh, my
throat; it is very bad!" I asked Emma why Miss
Adamson was going to have Father Young, and not
Father Baron, who had been used to come. Emma
said merely that Miss Adamson did not wish for
Father Baron. At that time Mrs. Bateson and Abi-
gail Stringer were in the house with Emma, and
I had seen Matilda Stringer in the morning. I
carried the message to Father Young- I saw Miss
Adamson after she was dead. Matilda Stinger
came to our horse and told us that Miss Adamson
was dead, and they wanted mother to lay her out.
I went there about sin the eveniu. There were
then in the house Emma and her sisters, and Mrs.
Bateson. 1 saw a cart when I was there in the
evening, and James Stringer was putting in two
boxes and a bandbox. One of the boxes was a
hair trunk.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wheelhouse—During the
time I was there Emma appeared to behave kindly
and dutirully towards Miss Adamson.
By the Bench—On the evening of the 2d August
I believe Mr. Wood took tea out of the same
teapot. Miss Adamson was purged on that night
as well as beinr, attacked with vomiting.
The Rev. Mr. Young, Roman Catholic priest,was
then examined, and repeated in the same terms the
evidence which he had given before the coroner.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wheelhouse—l admini•
stered extreme unction to Miss Adamson before her
death. I used to attend Miss Adamson in conjunc-
tion with Father Baron, who occupies with me the
priests' house at Wentworth-street, Wakefield. I
had visited Miss Adamson as her spiritual adviser
conjointly with my confrere Father Baron for
about 11 months.
By Mr. Shaw—Father Baron and myself are in
charge of this district as Roman Catholic pastors,
and Miss Adamson was one of our communicants,
and we attend our communicants indifferently, but
in the matter of confession our communicants choose
their own confessors, and I was generally chosen as
the confessor of the deceased.
Mary Bateson, daughter-in-law of the old woman
examined at the inquest, deposed that she was in
Miss Adamson's bedroom on the night when she
died. Emma Stringer was there, and Miss Adam-
son said in her presence " My tongue and throat
are so hot that I cannot hear to talk." She also
said "The pains of death are very hard." The
witness left about 11 o'clock.
Hannan Denton and three other witnesses deposed
to seeing goods removed by Emma Stringer and
her brother after the death of Miss Adamson.
Mr. Fernandes, solicitor, of Wakefield, said—l
am the attorney for the administrator to the pro-
perty of the deceased. That gentleman is the Rev.
Mr. Adamson, of Padiham, near Burnley. By his
direction I tcok possession of the house. Emma
Stringer left it on August 20. Before going she
accounted to me for the expenditure of £5O received
by her after Miss Adamson's death.
By Mr. Wheelhouse—LeAers of administration
we-e taken out five days after Miss Adamson's
death, but I had been to the house before that,
under the authority of Mr. Cartwright, who was
the landlord. I did not tell Emma Stringer to
leave the premises.
This being the whole of the evidence,
Mr. Wheelhouse addressed the bench, comment-
ing in strong terms upon the animus which had
been manifested by the counsel and the gentlemen
engaged in the prosecution against the prisoner,
and contended that there was not a tittle of evidence
to show that if she did die of poison the prisoner at
the bar administered it to her. Mr. Shaw having
summed up the evidence, the magistrates fully com-
mitted the prisoner to take her trial at the next
York assizes.
