when he was sent for, and im
other medicine, which deceased took, and aimarroft- s
root and brandy. That was between 12 and 1, tal
deceased, who had been violently purged, rallied till
just 8 o'clock in the evening, when ho died. Mr.
Mason and Mr. Robert Hall called to see deceased
that day.
By a Juror—Although witness was there as an
attendant on an insane patient he did not prevent
his taking the medicine. Witness was pot told to.
interfere with him as to his physic. Mr. Mason and
Dr. Denny saw him, but the doctor did not ask if
deceased took anything. Deceased had no female
attendants. He took the medicine between 8 and 9
in the morning, and died about 12 hours after.
John Havers, F.R.C.S., 10, Bedford-place, Rus-
sell-square, stated that he was called to see Dr. Hall
on the afternoon of Wednesday,
to give an opinion

as to the state of his mind, but found that unless the
body was at once attended to there would be no need
of troubling about the mind. Ile found that de-
ceased had taken two bottles of Laville's anti-gout
and rheumatic specific, a quantity that was mode-
rately certain to kill an old man, and pretty nearly
certain to kill a great many young ones. The in-
structions with the medicine were very specific, and
no sane medical man would take 36 doses at once as
deceased had done. From what be (witness) had
seen the deceased had some very strong delusions,
and was clearly out of his mind. There was no in-
dications of delirium tremens.

Robert Perry Middlemist, M.R.C.S., partner of
last witness, proved that death resulted from syncope
produced by diarrhea, but that the post mortem in-
dicated no natural cause for the purging that had
been described. The medicine described would fully
account for it.

The Deputy-Coroner,, in summing up, said there
could be no doubt upon the evidence as to the un-
sound state of the mind of the deceased, and that
he took the medicine which killed him. The only
question was whether he took it with intent to de-
stroy life. Was there sufficiant evidence for the
jury to determine that point? if not, they could re-
turn a verdict accordingly.

After considerable deliberation the following ver-
dict was returned :—" We find that the deceased,
Thomas Hall, died from the effects of purging pro-
duced by an overdose of Laville's mixture kilo colo-
cynthine ; and we are of opinion that the medicine
was taken while the said Thomas Hall was in a state
of unsound mind."

The Deputy-Coroner--You think he took it by
mistake ?
The Foreman—Yes, we think so.
The inquiry then terminated.
