THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE.

EDINBURGH, JULY 6.
MONDAY-Sum-DAY.

The judges decided to reject the evidence of the
deceased's memorandum book, and no futher evi-
dence of importance was offered for the Crown.
Thirty-one witnesses were examined for the de-
fence.

Robert Baker resided with deceased in Edinburgh
in 1851, when he was very low-spirited about a dis-
appointment in love, and once threatened to throw
himself out of the window, and another time spoke
of throwing himself off the p'er.
Several witnesses from Dundee stated that on one
occasion, on hearing of the marriage of a lady he
had been in love with, he took up a large knife from
the counter and threatened to stab himself; that
he several times threatened or spoke of self-destruc-
tion by different means ; that he had once spoken
of giving some horses arsenic while in France, to
give them wind for their j )urni,y, and, when asked
if he was not afraid to do so, said, "So far from
that, I have taken it myself." He said he took it to
relieve pain. He had also b:en seen to take poppy
seed in conQiderable quantities.
To one witness he had spoken of using arsenic
regularly.
To Alexander Millar of Glasgow, he had once
said that he thought it no sin fora person to take
his own life and thus get out of the world if he
could not be happy in this. Witness said deceased
had frequwitty severe bowel complaints.
Janet Christie had heard deceased, and Agnes
M'Millan had-heard prisoner speak of using arsenic
for the complexion, and several drugg'sts deposed
ta having teen on occasions asked for it for that
purpose.
William Roberts and Charles Baird spoke to
occasions on which deceased bad been taken very
suddenly and severely ill with vomiting and
purging.
Several witnesses deposed to deceased being some-
what untruthful as well as boastful.
Charles Adam, druggist, of Coatbridge, deposed
to a person of appearance like deceased purchasing
laudanum at his shop on a Sunday afternoon, about

the end of March. -
James Dickson, druggist of Baillieston, on the
way from Coatbridge to Glasgow, spoke of a person
extremely like the photograph of deceased coming
in on a Sund,.y about the same time, complaining
of bowel complaint, and getting laudanum.
Miss Kirk, daughter of a druggist in Gallowgate,
Glasgow, deposed to giving medicine on Sunday
evening to a person strikingly like the photograph,
but did not remember ,what it was. It was not
arsenic.
Witnesses deposed to the wide circulation of an
at tide in Chambers' Journal, Blackwood's Magazine,
&c., in which the use of arsenic as a cosmetic is
spoken of.
Letters of the prisoner were put in, in which she
remonstrates with deceased against his threat of
suicide.
Doctor Patterson, of Leith, had attended seven
cases of suicide by arsenic, in which the suicides,
except one who confessed after recovery, denied to
the last having taken poison.
Two storekeepers of manufacturing chymists
spoke to the extensive use of arsenic in their pre-
mises, and the possibility of its abstraction.
Janet Smith, youngest sister of prisoner, deposed
to going to bed with her on Sunday, the 22d of
March, and their rising together.
Dr. Lawrie, of Glasgow, and Dr. Douglas
M'Lagan, of Edinburgh, spoke to the possibility of
put.ing arsenic in water and laving it about the
face without injurious results.
. `rids closed the case for the defence. _ _

On Tuesday the Lord-Advozate and the Dean
of Faculty will address the jury, and the case is
expected to terminate on Wednesday.

EXECUTION FOR MURDER.

Yesterday Thomas Mansell, a private in the 49th
Regt., who was convicted, at the last winter assizes
for the county of Kent, of the murder of Alexander
M'Burnie, a corporal in the same regiment, by
shooting him, was executed at Maidstone.
Seven months have elapsed since the prisoner's
conviction, but the delay in the execution of the
sentence has arisen from the attempts made to set
the conviction aside upon a writ of error. The
arguments upon each occasion have been reported
in The Sun. The judges having decided against
the objections taken by the prisoner's counsel, the
sentence was ordered to be carried into effect yes-
terday. ,
The prisoner retired to rest about 11 o'clock on
Sunday night, but he got up early and dressed-him-
self, and then, for the first time, appeared to feel
his awful position. Upon seeing the Ordinary and
the Governor of the prison he shook hands with
them and thanked them for their kindness, and
asked them to forgive him for the trouble he had
even them and for the manner in which he acted
upon several occassions. He then requested that
his Crimean medal might be given to one of the
officers of his regiment, and he was assured that
his request should be complied with.
A few minutes before 12 o'clock, Mr. Wildes,
the Under-sheriff of Kent, accompanied by some of
his officers, arrived at the gaol, and proceeded to
the cell were the prisoner had been confined. Cal-
craft, the executioner, shortly afterwards com-
menced the task of pinioning the culprit, to which
he submitted without making any observation.
The prisoner, who is about 29 years old, and who
has allowed his beard and moustachfs to grow
during the whole period since his conviction, did
not betray the least emotion during the process,
and when the prison clock commenced striking 12
be turned round to Mr. Hillyard and said, in a
very cool manner, "Are you not a little behind
timer

The usual procession was then formed, and the
culprit wa'.ked with a firm step towards the place
of execution. The moment he emerged from the
gaol and took his place on the scaflold he cast an
earnest look at the crowd, and then proceeded to
.mount the ladder to ,the drop. Calcraft took hold
of one of his hands to assist him, but he exclaimed
" I don't want that," and ran up the steps of his
own accord. The executioner then placed the cap
over his eyes and adjusted the noose, the drop fell,
and the culprit appeared to he dead in an instant.
The crowd, which was much smaller than usually,
assembles upon these occasions, conducted them-
selves in the most orderly and decorous manner,
and it was observed that there were very few
women among the spectators. The body, after
' hanging an hour, was cut down and placed in a
shell, and buried in the course of the day within
the gaol,

ceived her marines and Lieut. G. H. Elliot, from,
Chatham.

The Flying Fish, 6, screw gun dispatch vessel,
went again to the measured mile, Stoke's Bay, yes-
terday, with the Bretagne, screw, reduced to two

not averaging 11 knots an hour. She will have
other trials with alterations of the blades.

Captain Cuckburn, of the Cossack, 20, screw, has
reported his ship ready to be paid off next Thurs-
day at Sheerness. This corvette, it will be remem-

mencement of hostilities.

about four knots per hour. The African, steam-
tug, accompanied, in the event of her services be-
ing required.
The Arab, 12, Captain R. B. Pearse, which was
paid off at Chatham yesterday,, has been in com-
mission nearly four years, having sailed from Chat-
ham in August, 1853, at which pent she was com-
missioned by Captain Ogle. She sailed in the first
instance to the coast of Africa, where she was cruis-
ing for 12 months, after which she proceeded to
join the squadron of Rear-Admiral A. Fanshawe,
C. B:, Commander-in Chief on the West India sta-
tion, whore she remained until ordered home.
During the whole time she was in commission she
was employed in the suppression of the slave trade,
and while crusing off the so ithern coast of Cuba
succeeded in capturing a Spanish slaver, name Inc
known, with 370 slaves on board, the whole of
whom were liberated at Jamaica. The crew have
been remarkably healthy, not a single death having
occurred on board. At Halifax Commander Pearse
relieved Captain Ogle in cciumand of the ship. The
Arab will be attached to the fleet of vessels in ordi-
nary at Chatham.
