THE LATE TRIAL OF BELANEY
FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Having observed a long article in the Times
of last Saturday, on the above subject, we beg to sug-
gest to you and your readers, that that most useful
kind of knowledge (medical jurisprudence) by which
doctors and other scientific persons are enabled to
state the properties of poison to juries, as in the case
of Belaney, is totally distinct, and has no reference
whatever to the origin or cause of disease, and its
treatment—for instance, telling a jury that the knife,
as in the case of Dalmas, was drawn in a particular
way across the throat, and that it could not have been
so drawn by the deceased herself, is undoubtedly most
useful for the purposes of justice; but such know-
ledge has nothing whatever to do with the cause or
cure of any disease, nor does it bear the least analogy
to it

In our opinion, poisons, or anti-medicinal prepara-
tions, should be prohibited by law; they can never
tend to the cure of any disease ; they only serve to
mystify the otherwise simple science of med►cine.
iVe are, Sir, your obedient servants.
