ministration of arsenic. lam notacquainted with peculiar
cases of dysentery. A cold claraminess of the skin is a
symptom of antimonial poisoning.
By the Lord Chief Baron—ln all my experience, which
extends over 29 years, I never met with chlorate of potash
in connection with arsenic.
The Lord Chief Baron—Thtn when chlorate of potash is
not present the copper test is always correct.
Witness—Always.
Sergeant Ballantine—Have you examined the four speci-
mens of medicine obtained from Dr. Julius's, viz, bismuth,
nitrate of silver, sulphate of copper, and acetate of lead ?
Witness—Yes. In ten grains of the sulphate of copper
I found traces of arsenic.
Lord Chief Baron—Did you find antimony among eithei
of them?
Witness—No, my lord.
Sergeant Parry—What test did you use ?
Witness—Marsh's.
Sergeant Parry—ln point of fact, is not arsenic some-
times found in bismuth ?
Witness—Yes.
Dr. Odling, examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l am a
professor of practical chemistry at Guy's Hospital. I have
made several examinations in conjunction with Dr. Taylor.
I concur in all the evidence. lam satisfied that antimony
was present in the body of the deceased.
Sergeant Ballantine—You have the evidence in this case ?
Witness—l have.
Sergeant Ballantine—Have you formed an opinion as to
the cause of death?
Witness—l have.
Sergeant Ballantine—What opinion have you formed ?
Witness—That death was caused by irritant.poison.
Sergeant Ballantine—ls there any form in natural dis-
ease to which you can attribute death ?
Witness—Not to my knowledge.
Professor Brand—l was requested to examine a portion
of the liquid that had been in the possession of Dr. Taylor
to ascertain whether arsenic was present. I made that
analysis. There was no arsenic present. Chlorate of
potash would dissolve copper. The circumstance that
occurred in Dr. Taylor's experiments does not shake my
faith in Renisb's test.
Mrs. Smith, of Rifle-terrace, recalled and said the pri-
sonef left her house on Saturday the 11th of December.
She could not say where he was on the 9th or 10th,
whether he was at home or not on those days.
Dr. Julius was also recalled, and said that when Dr.
Smethurst was before the magistrate he said that if there
were any metallic substances found they must have been
contained in the medicines that came from his (Dr. Julius's)
shop.

This was the case for the prosecution.
The Court then adjourned for refreshment; on the learned
Judge resuming his seat on the bench,
Mr. Sergeant Parry rose to address the jury for the pri-
soner. He commenced by saying that after the protracted
agony of a double trial, and a sensibility that prejudice was
being accumulated against him by the lapse of time, the
prisoner had now an opportunity of making his defence to
this charge. In the position he then occupied he was fear-
ful that he should inadequately discharge his duty, but he
relied upon the assistance of all in acquitting himself of his
painful duty.
