The Suicide of Dr. Warder.

The inquest on the body of Dr. Warder, who de-
stroyed himself by drinking prussic acid, at the Bed-
ford hotel, Brighton, while an inquiry was pending
into the cause of the death of his wife, under cir-
cumstances which leave no doubt that she had been
poisoned by him, was resumed yesterday. The ad-
journment had taken place from Wednesday for an
examination to be made of the deceased's brain, a
plea of hereditary insanity having been set up by
the legal representative of his first wife's sister,
whom he made trustee of his property for the benefit
of his four children by such first wife.
Dr. Pickford, who had made the post mortem exa-
mination, assisted by Dr. Taaffe, in the presence of
Dr. Hall, Dr. Moore, and Mr. Jowers, surgeon, de-
posed that the examination was made 53 hours after
the supposed death, and 40 hours after the body
was found. He said decomposition had somewhat
advanced, but the structure of the brain was still
normal and healthy, and considering the time which
had elapsed since death, the substance of the brain
was exceedingly firm, and there was an absence of
all signs or evidence of disease of the brain itself,
or of its investing membranes. The remainder of
' Dr. Pickford's memoranda was confined to an exa-
mination of the appearance of the body made for the
purposes of science, and he concluded by stating
that the presence of prussic acid in the contents of
the stomach had been determined by Dr. Taaffe both
by Scheel's test and by Liebig's sulphur test.
Mr. Eland, solicitor, of Trafalgar-square, Lon-
don, who watched the case on behalf of Miss Gun-
ning, appeared as a witness, and he put in the letters
read yesterday as evidence. He said he had searched
the boxes of deceased, and found in them the pro-
perty alluded to in the docunients whichhe
bnparok-
duced. This property consists of deposit and
notes amounting to £2,300, Prussian and Ottoman
Bonds, share certificates in various companies, an
allotment note for 100 shares in the Mont Cenis
Company, and a promissory note for £6O.
The Coroner then summed up the evidence to
the jury, drawing particular attention to the result
of the post mortem examination of the brain, and
the deceased's cool and collected conduct imme-
diately prior to death. He also pointed to the busi-
ness-like and sensible manner in which the letters
were written disposing of his property- as evidence
of a perfectly sound mind ; and after explaining the
penalties of felo de se, telling the jury that they
were not to criticise the law, but to deal with it as
they
.found it, the coroner said it was for them to
determine whether deceased poisoned himself, and
what was the state of his mind at the time.

Dr. Taaffe was called at the request of the jury;
and stated that he found the presence of prussic
acid as described by Dr. Pickford ; also that he had
frequent opportunities during the time he attended
deceased's late wife of speaking with deceased, and,
instead of considering him insane, he rarely met
with so cool, collected, and rational a man.
In reply to questions put by the jury, Dr. Taaffe
said Dr. Warder asked him several times for a cer-
tificate of the cause of death of Mrs. Warder, ask-
ing him if he did not consider the appearance of the
brain and kidneys sufficient to account for death.
Witness told him that he did not think so, and de-
clined to give a certificate, on the ground that he
could not say that death was the result of natural
causes. The last time deceased asked for one—as
the post portem had been made—he said, "We
shall want tb bury the body immediately ;" and
when witness replied, " You surely can't do,
that ; it is not customary ; you should wait till
Thursday or Friday;" deceased said, "I don't think
the body would keep this hot weather."
The jury returned a verdict of felo de se, an in-
ventory of the deceased's property being inserted in
the inquisition-paper as forfeited to the Crown ;
but the Coroner explained that almost invariably a
grant of the property was made by the Crown to
the dependents of the deceased.
_ _ _

Orders were given to the police to bury the body
at midnight in the manner customary for the in-
terment of such offenders against the law.

Metropolitan Workhouse Infirmariee.

'ID-- --

The official report of Mr. Farnall, C. 8., Poor Law In-
spector, on the infirmary wards of the several metropolitan
workhouses, and their existing arrangements, has just been
presented to Parliament and published. It states that from
April 4 to June 1. inclusive the inspector, in conjunction
with Dr. Edward Smith, visited 40 workhouses, and a de-
tailed statement of each visit is given. These 40 work-
houses are capable of accommodating 28,550 inmates, and
there are usually upwards of 23,000 persons in them, who
may be classified as follows :—Temporarily disabled,about
6,000 ; old and infirm, 10,300 ; imbeciles and idiots, 1,800 ;
able-bodied, 1,850 ; and children, 3,000. Eighteen work-
houses possess infirmaries detached from the body of the
house; but neither of these detached infirmaries, with the
exception of that of St. George's, Hanover-square, at Chel-
sea, is sufficiently large to accommodate all the sick and
bed-ridden who are under the care of the medical officers
so that many of those classes are warded in the body of
each workhouse. Mr. Farnall, after quoting the opinion
of many eminent medical men as to the provision which
should be made for the sick poor with regard to air, cubic
feet, &c., goes on to say that in 11 of the metropolitan
hospitals the cubic feet given to each patient vary from
1,990 feet to 1,120 feet, and since the measurements were
taken more space had been given. The great hospital at
Milan gave 2,300 cubic feet to each patient, and taking all
the Paris general hospitals together, the average cubic
space was 1,540 feet. Beside these figures our 40 metro-
politan workhouse infirmaries show very poorly, for the
inspector found that in them the average is only 555 cubic
feet to each patient, with a superfluous area of 49 feet for
each bed ; the greatest cubic space of air given to a patient
being 2,260 feet in the Chelsea workhouse, the lowest being
206 in the Marylebone workhouse; while the greatest
superficial area given to a bed is 251 feet, also in the Chel-
sea workhouse, and the lowest, 18 feet, again in the Mary-
lebone workhouse. The report suggests that the following
12 workhouses should be enlarged or rebuilt, as they are
surrounded by land not built upon :—Greenwich, Fulham,
Hackney, Kensington, East London, West London, St.
Margaret and St. John Westminster, at Kensington, Mile-
end Old-town, Paddington, Stepney, St. Mary Newington,
and Wandsworth and Clapham. The workhouseinfirmary
at Chelsea is the best in London.

Mr. Parnell points out several improvements which
might be advantageously made with regard to beds, water-
closets, chairs, additional light and air (the latter always
to come from the outside), furniture, &c. Better arrange-
ments for cooking should also be provided. The inspector
reports with satisfaction that the medical officers of the
metropolitan workhouses appear to do their duty to the
best of their ability ; but he is obliged to add that their
duties are very arduous, and their salaries inadequate.
On the important point of pauper nursing, the evils of
which have continually been before the public in the re-
ports of recent inquiries, Mr. Parnell is entirely at one
with -those who so earnestly desire amendment in this
matter. He says that pauper nursing should be wholly
abolished, and a sufficient staff of properly trained and
paid nurses should be appointed for every workhouse
o
infirmary. He has come to this conclusion because ho

St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Islington, the Strand, White-
chapel, Bermondsey, St. George-the-Martyr, and Lambeth.
There are many defects combining to produce this result,
but the chief one is want of space. There aro 12 w,rk-
houses, already mentioned, which are so placed that the
guardians could, if they thought fit, build hospitals upon
a system calculated to meet the requirements of medical
science. The following workhouses also present facilities
for the improvement of the condition of the sick
.poor, though not so thoroughly as the proceeding ones, as
the improvement would disarrange the present classifica-
tion altogether :—Bethnal-green, St. Luke Chelsea, St.
George Hanover-square, Mount-street, St. George-in-the

East, Hampstead, City of London, St. Marylebono, St.
Pancras, Poplar, Shoreditch, Camberwell,
St Olave,
Saviour, and St. Luke Middlesex. Mr. Farnall adds that
mere suggestions will not, however, tend to improve the
condition of the sick poor in workhouses, for there is no
legal power vested in the board which enables it to compel
guardians to adopt finch suggestions in their entirety.
The difficulty of carrying out the suggestions regarding
space is almost insuperable, for it would 'be necessary to
withdraw nearly one-half of the beds now occupied by the
sick and by the bed-ridden. Thoro is also no accommo-
dation at present for an extra and much-required staff of
paid trained nurses. Mr. Parnell thinks that hospitals
should be built wholly apart from the metropolitan work-
houses, for the reception of the sick poor, and that the
entire cost should be defrayed by a common rateable value
rating of the metropolis. Ile also says that he has fre-
quently failed when he has recommended a board of guar-
dians to build a new workhouse in place of an old one obvi-
ously unfit, and that he has been met with one of two re-
markable statements—either that the times are so bad that
the ratepayers cannot bear the taxation necessary for such
a purpose, or that the times are so good and pauperism so
low that there is no necessity to build a new workhouse.
In conclusion, the commissioner is glad to report that iu
many cases his suggestionis have been attended to.

THE OTIONOGaITE'S ESTATES.

The O'Donoghue's estates and their sale continue to
force themselves on public attention in Ireland. About
this time twelvemonths the Kerry property of the Chief-
tain of the Glens was put up for sale in the Landed Estates
Court to pay off the incumbrances upon It. At the sale a
gentleman, who was esteemed a "patriot," attended, and
ran up every lot to a sum beyond which no intending pur-
chaser would go. As the highest bidder (and there appear-
ing at the time no reason to doubt the bona fides of his
proceeding) the judge declared him the purchaser. Accord-
ing to the practice of the court fourteen days are
allowed for the lodgment of the purchase-money, but this
period was availed of by the individual in question to leave
the country, it is understood for America. The sale having
thus proved abortive, the court directed that the property
should be again put up to auction on the 20th April last.
Another curious incident now occurs. The "tenant
farmers" of Kerry, with whom were associated many of
those who have espoused what they term "the tenant
cause of Ireland," undertook to purchase the estates, and
re-convey them to The O'Donoghuo. Time passed, the
Nation canvassed the country in favour of the project, the
local Tralee Chronicle observed upon the " brilliant success"
of this move in the right direction—a tenantry purchasing
a property for the purpose of transferring it to their land-
lord—and meetings were organised to collect subscrip-
tions. Those efforts proved fruitless. The amount sub-
scribed never could be discovered ; but r believe that
The O'Donoghue trusted to the representations made to
him, and in the fulness of his hope entered with sanguine
expectations upon the course which had led to such un-
pleasantness as is now likely to arise. The O'Donoghuo
instructed his solicitor, Mr. V. B. Dillon, to attend the salo
in the interest of his wife, and to secure the withdrawal

from competition of ono lot against which his wife's pin-
money was charged, and at the same time he obtained the
consent of Mr. G. R. Barry,M.P for Cork, to have his name
used by another solicitor, Mr. Edward Nugent, in the pur-
chase of the residue for a sum of £lO,OOO, giving &guarantee
that Mr. Barry should be at no loss, trouble, or expense in
the transaction. As the property was put up in separate
lots, it was of course impossible to bid in the gross for it,
but Mr. Nugent considering that it was a life estate merely
suggested that he should bid up to 10 years' purchas3 and
no further. The letter of The O'Donoghue, containing the
instructions to Mr. Nugent, was written in London on the
18th April, and consequently did not reach Dublin until
April 19, tho day previous to the sale. It contained the
following passage :—" My friend, Mr. Barry, M.P. for-
Cork has written for the enclosed letter, which by his
direction I forward to you, authorising you to bid for the
estates to the extent of .£lO,OOO for him. Of course, he bids
in trust for my wife; but this can all be arranged afterwards.
Keep the matter a profound secret— do not tell a soul,

even Dillon, who appears for me. Let you buy as cheap
as you can, just keeping in advance of the last bidder."
A postscript was in those words :—I need scarcely say Mr.
Barry is very rich and well known in the Landed
Estates Court as a purchaser. The authorisation of Mr
Barry was simply an instruction—" I shall bo obliged by
your bidding in my name and purchasing on my behalf for
any sum not exceeding £10,000." On the morning of the
day of sale Mr. Nugent received a letter from Mr. Barry,
entering into a long detail of his reasons and motives for
putting himself forward as the purchaser of the; estates for
The O'Donoghue, on whose promises and letters he relied,
by whom he was indemnified against all losses and cash ad-
vances ; and who assured him that he " saw his way quite
clearly " to obtain the purchase-money. Mr. Barry ad-.
vised Mr. Nugent not to act up to the authority which ho
hud received unless he felt satisfied that the purchase-
money would be forthcoming. In the exercise of the dis-
cretion which he conceived to bo thus loft to him, and not
interpreting this latter letter as a withdrawal of the prior

authority, Mr. Nugent purchased two lots for £3,610, de-
claring that it was in trust for Mr. Barry he did so. A
good deal of correspondence now took place, Mr. Nugent
writing to The O'Donoghue, and to Mr. Barry to forward
him a cheque for the purchase-money, and the former as-
suring him he should have it "on Monday without fail ;"
then pledging his honour he should have it "on Thurs-
day or Friday next," then that all would be "right in a
day or two," an finally—
"My dear Mr. Nugent—You will be delighted to hear
that my dear and good friend, Mr. Barry, has forwarded
instructions to his solicitors to pay for the property. There
was not the least cause for unoasinoss. I am greatly
obliged to you, and will call on you in a day or two.—l am,
yours truly, " O'DoNoeuuz."
The money, however, was not lodged, and now comes the
disagreeable part of the affair. A conditional order for an
attachment against Mr. Nugont and for a sequestration
against Mr. Barry was obtained. The latter gentleman at
once wrote to The O'Donoghue informing him of the stato
of affairs, and in reply received the following letter:—
"Reform Club, June 30, 1866.

"My dear Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 27th inst.,
I regret that you should have been put to any inconveni-
ence on my account. I admit that there was a distinct
understanding that you were not to pay for the estates. I
expected to bo able tcrpay for them myself. I cannot but
regret that Mr. Nugent did not follow the instructions
contained in your letter of the 19th April, though 1 have
no doubt hewas induced to exceed those instructions owing
to the confident tone in which I assured you of my ability
to pay for the estate myself. As it is, all I can say is that
I have no objection to take any measures that you may
think necessary to free you from all responsibility in the
matter.—l am, dear sir, yours truly, " O'DONOGIBITE."
This closed the'correspondence, andso the matter stauds
for the present, until it comes before the Landed Estates
Court some day this week for the examination of Mr.
Barry and The O'Donoghue in reference to the transac-
tion. The facts above stated are extracted from the affi-
davits filed by Mr. Barry and Mr. Nugont respectively, in
showing cause against making absolute the conditional
orders already obtained.

A NIGHT ON BOARD THE LONDON.—Presently
Mr. Grant, one of the junior officers, came round
raising volunteers for the pumps. At that time there was
a great difficulty in getting men to go to the pumps ; not
but what they were willing to work, but they dreaded
going on the deck—the night dark and cold—ands danger
of being,washed out to sea. I consented to go, though I
dreaded it as much as the others; moreover, I felt very
weak and fatigued, having eaten little that day. On my
way out, through the cuddy, I noticed that almost etvbeerrytaik_

were no sailors at the pumps at any time after I went out.
I do not think worse of them for this. They had had a hard
week of it—most all the time at work—all the time wet ;
poorly fed for the last day or two. Some were disabled by
so much lumber on deck ; I saw several who had bad
wounds. Mr. Munroe went to the forecastle once to get
men for the pumps, and twenty pleaded illness. Tho work
at the pumps was very laborious. Wo had to take brief
spells, being short-handed ; occasionally we would have a
flesh hand, whom Mr. Graht had persuaded to come, while
others left off, quite done up; and in indeed it was a try-
ing place. The seas broke over us so roughly that some-
times I felt the water up round my neck. At those mo-
ments the pumps would have to stop ; but as soon as the
tide had receded, then would be heard Mr. Angel's voice,
