COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. THOMAS PaouT, 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Hants, October '26, 1844.
Sir,--I cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills fer the Gout. I was taken en Thurs-
'.4tY night so severely with it as to be with diffioulty able to get out
.f MY bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
Within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a Previous very severe attack very great relief ; I had the pains in
have
died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
.time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
.pours
I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, tothat be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man,
'priers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. lilake what use you please of my report.—'‘ ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, fze. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.

Cros examined—Dunsdon appeared much afflicted on
the day deceased died. The prisoner said, " Oh, that I
had seen the last of her ! Oh, that she had died a
natural death !" He shed tears and moaned. I stopped
two hours with him to comfort him. I never heard
Dunsdon say, " I am not sorry she is dead ; she would
never have been no use to my family or to me ; the
devil is always after these people." From the position
I was in, I must hue heard it if he had said so. I did
not see any blood on Dun: don's clothes.
George Benham, of Chadwell-heath, said—l am a
linen-draper, and know the prisoner. On the 20th of!
October, about a quarter before ten o'clock, I saw him
come into the back yard exclaiming, " She has done it,
she has done it." I ran up and found her lying upon
her hack, with her hand upon her breast and her throat
cut, the wound large enough fer a pint bottle to have been
put in end ways. I put my hands under her head and
raised her up, the blood flowing out of the wound on
both sides. I saw no splashes of blood on the bed
clothes, which were quite smooth when I entered. She
died in about six minutes. No other person was in
the room when she died. There was no appear-
ance of any struggle, nor was any instrument
found. I left Glenny in the room, and went
into the yard through tne house. I saw Dunsdon,
and said, " Where is the instrument that the fatal deed
was done with? None has been found, and no one shall
leave the premises until it is found." Dickins said, " I
have it." I asked how he came by it, and he replied, " I
took it from l)unsdon's hand." I said, " Where is that
razor?" and Dickins said, " I have hid it up behind
some plates on the shelf." Rachael Summons came and
looked after it. I said to Dur sdon, What a bad job!"
and he said, "lam in no wise sorry she is dead ; she
never would have been no use to me or any part of my
family, for the devil is always in this sort of people." I
then left him, and had no more conversation with him
until the Coroner sat. It was in the tap-room of the
Coopers' Arms beer-shop, Chadwell-heath, where I spoke
to him. I saw what I thought a spot of blood upon his
waistcoat, and asked him if it was not blood? He said,
" No, it is red paint." I picked it off, and, breaking it
between my fingers, said, "it is blood. Dunsford had
been my tenant about three months. I saw nothing to
induce me to think that Mrs. Dunsford was of unsound
mind. I was examined before the Coroner, and began
to tell my tale, but was stopped, the jury saying that
they only wanted to know what I saw when I entered
the room up stairs, where Mrs. Dunsdon was lying. A
doctor came in on the morning of the 20th of October,
but was not examined, to my knowledge, before the
Coroner. Shortly after the inquest I went out of town,
and on my return went before the magistrate. Dickies
was not present when I said, " What a bad job; what a
bad job!"
Cross-examined—A day or two after the inquest
Dunsdon gave me notice to quit, and said he should
serve me with another piece of paper for speaking about
him. I had not been speaking about it. I did not say
that he had another female in London, and that his wife
knew of it. I was examined before the jury, but they
would not give me a, chance of saying what I have since
said. When the inquest was over, I said that I was not
satisfied. I never heard them quarrel.
Mrs. Faith Louisa Barham, wife of the last witness,
said—l have known the deceased about two months. I
was present with deceased when the prisoner called upon
her. There were some scratches on her throat before
she died. I attended the inquest, and answered all the
questions put to me. On the mornini, after I saw the
scratches on her neck, I did not find abknife in the bed,
but I found in her pocket, under the pillow, a small pen-
knife. I took that away, but I did not search the bed
clothes, and never said I did.
Robert Bowie, surgeon, said he had attended the de-
ceased about three weeks for diseased vertebrae. Her
sufferings had caused great bodily debility, which had
affected the nervous system. He had given orders that
she should be looked after. He was not at all surprised
that she should have committed suicide. He never saw
anything of Dunsdon more than that he was kind and
affectionate to his wife.
Mr. James Glenny, market gardener of Chadwell-
heath, was next examined on behalf of the accused. He
said Dunsdon was a salesman, and went to market
three times a-week. He came to witness on the 15th of
October, and told him that his wife's mind was in a
very bad state. He (witness) called in the evening, and
found her eyes rolling in her sockets. He knelt down
at the bed-side and prayed with her. The following
day the prisoner told him that his wife had asked him to
get up and boil the kettle. He did so, and, whilst down
stairs, he heard a noise, and upon returning again to
his bed-room, he found the pillow removed a little. He
(the prisoner) went to the window, when his wife pulled
out a knife, and handing it to him, said, " Here it is,
take it, for it will not do it." Upon hearing this, wit-
ness recommended the prisoner to go for her mother,
and he then ran off for her. Witness was confident the
prisoner had not committed the act imputed to him.
Mr. Cotton, the Chairman, said, after giving this
painful case our best consideration, we are of opinion
that we should not be doing our duty in discharging the
man ; we have, therefore, made up our minds in sending
him to a higher tribunal. You are, therefore (address-
ing the prisoner), committed to take your trial at the
next sessions.
After a deal of arguing, the Bench decided upon ac-
cepting, two sureties, to be bound to the amount of 5001.
each for the prisoner's appearance at the next assizes.

On Saturday the accused appeared before William
Cotton, Esq., and a full bench of magistrates, at the
Angel Inn, Ilford, when the whole of the case with re-
gard to the prosecution was gone into.
The prisoner, who, although habited in his working
dress, appeared to be of respectability, paid great atten-
tion to the proceedings, and during a portion of the
examination, fondled one of his children in a most affec-
tionate manner.
Mr. Waite appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Griffin on
behalf of the accused.
Rachel Summons was the first witness called, and de-
posed as follows am a single woman, residing at
Chadwell-heath, and in October last I was in the service
of Mr. and Mrs. Dunsdon. I came to my work on the
20th of October as usual, and saw Mr. Dunsdon in the
back parlour. I asked him hOw his wife was. lie said,
she is much the same. Mr. Dunsdon went out, and
came back about nine, or half-pa't nine o'clock, and
w nt into the front room. I went up-stairs into Mrs.
Dunsdon's bed-room, whilst Dunsdon and Mrs. Ban-
ham, who came into the front room before Dunsdon left
it, were in the front room. She (Mrs. Dunsdon) was
in bed, and I asked her if I should make it. She said,
"No, Mrs. Banham has put it straight," and then told
me to boil a piece of mutton, which I should find in the
cupboard, and make her some broth for dinner. I
afterwards went down stairs, but did not see Mr. Duns-
don then, but saw him a few minutes after in the back
parlour. Whilst there I saw him take off his hat and
coat and hang them up. I saw him pour out a cup of
coffee and say, "I am going up stairs." He then went
up-stairs, but did not take the coffee with him. I did
not hear any noise after this for some time.
Mr. Cotton—Now state slowly what occurred.
Witness—Mr. Dunsdon went np stairs, but I did not
hear any noise for some time. I went into the yard to
do my work, and as I was doing it I heard shrieks. I
ran into the kitchen to see what was the matter, and as
I was going in I saw Mr. Dunsdon coming down stairs
with a bloody razor in his hand. I passed him on the
stairs and went to the top to see what was the matter,
and I saw Mrs. Dunsdon bleeding. I came down again
directly, and Mr. Banham went up stairs and called for
some towels, and I ran up with them. Several other
neighbours came in and I went down stairs, and did not
go up again for " a while." Mr. Dunsdon came in out
of the yard and went half way up stairs, and I heard
him ask Mr. Benham, "Is it fatal?" I heard Nlr. Ban-
ham reply that she would be dead in ten minutes. Mr.
Dunsdon came down stairs and went into the yard again.
Mr. Banham cenne down and asked me if I knew where
tl.e razor was. I told him that I did not know, but that
I saw Mr. Dickens with it. I left the house then and
went into the yard and saw Mr. Dunsford, and said to
him, " What a bad job:" He said to me, "lamin no
wise sorry for it."
Mr. Griffin—Why did you not state this to the co-
roner?
The Chairman—You have no right to question the
witness; but any question you wish answered must be
put through the bench.
The examin,tion of the witness was resumed—lie
said, " That the dsvil was always after such people, and
that he could clear himself by going and telling his
master that this morning she attempted to do it." I had
no more conversation with him until Wednesday morn
ing following, about an hour before I went before the
jury, when he told me not to say much, for he should
have to stand trial. I told him I did not know what trial
meant, and we had no more conversation until after
we came from the inquest. When I came home he
asked me if the gentlemen inquired if they had any
words on Sunday, and I told Irm that they had not.
That is all that has passed with him and me since.
By Mr. Cotton—He was not running down stairs when
I first saw him, but was coming down at a middling pace.
