ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MRS.
LLOYD.

The inquest was renewed yesterday at a quarter to twelve o'clock,
before Mr. Gant., at the Wilton Arms.
The CORONER told the Jury that the medical gentlemen were now
examining the body, and that in the mean time they should proceed to
examine any other witnesses that might be present who could throw any
light on the subject.
lir. Wooller attended on behalf of Mr. St. John Long, and said that
he meant to call witnesses, one a relation of Mrs. Lloyd's to speak
to her previous state of health, and some to speak to the practice of
his client.
Mr. Wheatley said, if Mr. Woo Her attempted to call witnesses to
speak to his healing practice (if he could), he should certainly call wit-
nesses to satisfy the Jury that his practice had been destructive of human
life in other instances. _ _

Mr. W'ooller said he meant to tender them.
Several of the Jury said they would hear nothing except that which
affected the cause of death. _ _ _ _ _

The CORONER thought, in justice to Mr. Long, they ought to hear
any thing he had to adduce as to the cause of death, hut nothing else.
Elizabeth Campbell, No 25, St. Gemge's.place, St. George's,
sworn and examined by Mr. Wheatley, on behalf of the deceased's fa-
mily :—Captain and Mrs. Lloyd came to my house on a visit six weeks
ago last Tuesday, viz. the 28th of September. She was then in perfect
health, with the exception of an occasional irritation of the throat.
In a day or two afterwards she told me that she had been at Mr. St.
John Long's, where she had seen ladies inhale. She told me that she
had herself afterwards been at Mr. Gong's where she had inhaled and
been rubbed. The first time (as she told me) was on Saturday, the
9th of October, when she had been subbed. She was quite well on
that evening and in spirits. On that night Mrs. Lloyd played
at cards—a round game, with her own children and mine. On
the following morning she was quite well, but in the evening (Sun-
day) she suddenly complained of great coldness, and a shivering came
on. She was put into a warm bed, but she continued in the same cold
state for many hours. I heard from herself that she had been rubbed
that morning. I was with her till late on that night. On the morn.
ing (Monday) she complained of a soreness and irritation on the chest,
and all over her bosom. I saw it: it was in a very vivid state of in-
flammation. I think the skin was not broken at that time, but I can-
not exactly say. The inflammation extended at this time almost from
shoulder to shoulder, and from the neck to the pit of the stomach. On
the evening of that day I saw cabbage leaves upon the breast, which
had been applied by the direction of Mr. L. She then complained of
great sickness and irritation of the parts which had been rubbed. She
never rose from her bed from the Sunday night of which I have spoken
till a few nights afterwards, when she was removed to another
bed.room ; she never was dressed afterwards. On that night
she walked without any assistance, but got into a bed im-
mediately. I was very frequently with the deceased, and
from Monday night (the 11th,) until her death, I never saw
any body suffer so much. She was at times delirious from the pain.
She expressed a great dread of Mr. Long on those occasions, and, as a
proof of her delirium, she fancied he was concealed in a large trunk in
the room, which she desired the nurse to lock upend keep the key. On
Tuesday or Wednesday evening, Mr. St. John Long came to s e
her, Captain Lloyd having gone to see him. I was in the room
when Long was. with the deceased. When I went into the room
he was then dabbing her chest with a cloth. 1 saw the state of the de.
ceased at the time—a fluid was oozing out very rapidly, like water—
It seemed to ooze out all over in different places, but particularly from
the wound in the centre, which was as large as the top of a tea-cup, and
the inflammation was very extensive. The inflammation, I think,
was then stronger marked than when I saw it on the Monday. The
wound appeared to me at that time on the surface. The centre
of the wound, which at first was of a vivid red, became
more of fluttery appearance, and then became black. She was
in very great pain when Long called, looking very ill, and asked her
what she wished to be done. She replied, she wished it to be dried up
and healed. He had taken off the simple dressing which' had been
applied by Mr. Campbell on account of the deceased's extreme pain.
Long would have rubbed it again, but deceased objected She
said she would endure no more rubbing. Long prescribed nothing
more than dry linen to heal the sore, but Mrs. Lloyd wished
the simple dressing to be again put on to sooth and cool the
wound ; that she had had blisters applied frequently, and al-
ways
healed them in that manner without trouble. Long replied,
"if that is the csse, I see no objection to your using it now." He
made no restrictions as to diet, and gave no medicines internally. She
had great thirst. This was the last time Long saw her; he called the
following day, but she desired he might be told she was asleep, for she
would not see him. From that time she continued under the care of
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Vance until she died, which was on the Bth inst.
she gradually grew weaker, and her sufferings were beyond any one's
belief; they were dreadful--really dreadful.
By one of the Jury... 4 heard that Long had prescribed a glass of
punch, but was not present at the time.
By another Juryman.—The deceased, whom I have known many
years. I always considered a person of perfect health and high spirits,
with the exception of the occasional irritation of the throat. She and
her family had walked a considerable distance with me a day or two W-
I fore she went to Long.
By Mr. Wooller—Mr. Campbell had applied the simple dressing
before Long saw her for the last time. Long objected to that dressing,
and wished to apply the lotion again, which Mrs. Lloyd positively ob-
jected to.
By Mr. Wheatley—l think she was suffering under the irritation of
the throat when she first went to Long. She had no cough or spitting
at that time; the irritation of the throat affected her swallowing.
By a Juror—The deceased explained the whole process to me; she
said the lotion with which she had been rubbed was in a guar; a fe-
male rubbed her with a sponge; the colour of the fluid was that of the
room in which the deceased then lay (a light fawn); the second rubbing
was rather painful; she had signed a book which she believed was to
the effect of a declaration, that she would not divulge either the colour
or smell of the lotion, but tor the benefit of others, and of the public,
she did not think she had any right to keep any thing secret that had
been so fatal to herself.

A delay of nearly an hour took place at this period of the proceeding,
in consequence of the medical gentlemen having been longer in ex-
amining the body than had been expected.
The Counsel on the part of the friends of the deceased came into the
Inquest-room a short time before the entrance of the medical gentlemen,
to say that if Mr.Wouler chose to send any gentleman on behalf of his
client to inspect the body, the view could now be taken ; but Mr. W.
declined to send any. adding that he should be perfectly satisfied with
the report of those who had made the examination.
A note of this was put upon the Coroner's book.
The medical gentlemen were very much complained of by the Jury
for having detained them so long. After they had been frequently sent
for, they came in at twenty minutes before three.
Just before their entrance a gentleman came in and wished to read a
letter which some unfeeling person had sent to Capt. Lloyd, accusing
him of want of good feeling in permitting the body to be opened.
Mr. Wheatley considered it extremely impertinent, and refused to
allow it to be read.

When 3lr. Vance came in, he delivered a written certificate, signed
by himself, Mr. Chambers, and Frankum, to the following effect :
" By the desire of the coroner and jury we have carefully ex.
ambled die body of the late Mrs. Cohn Campbell Lloyd, and we
make the following report :—The surface of the body did not ex-
hibit
any appearance of disease, except the gangrenous ulcer on the
chest, which has been measured, and extends from one arm-pit to'
the other—a space of ill inches ; and from the neck downwards to
the parts below the nipples nine inches.
" The mortified parts being removed, the collar-bones and some of
the cartilages of the ribs were bare. The body generally remarkably
fat. Oa examining the structures contained within the chest, the lungs
were ascertained to be perfectly sound, free from adhesion to the pleura,
and not even a spot that could admit of the suspicion of disease, either
on the surface or internally.
" The heart and the great vessels were also quite healthy.
" The liver, spleen, stomach, and intestines, as well as all the other
structures within the abdomen and pelvis, were in a state of perfect
health.

" On the right side the thyroid gland was inflamed, and the structure
a little changed from its contiguity to a deep part of the ulcer, but the
other part of the gland was healthy. On examining the windpipe no
direase appeared, the portion below the superior part of the ulcer, on its
inner side, was considerably inflamed, and the vessels full of blood. The,
(esophagus, which became the subject of our particular attention, on ac-
count of the globulus hystericus, was quite healthy, but a little narrow
at the upper part, which we arc disposed to consider congenital, rather
than arising from a disease, as there was no thickening of structure. We
have further to add, that in our professional researches, few had lived
forty years with natural strictures, so generally healthy and fine in their
proportions." (Signedl.

" Ozonow VANCE,
" W. A.Cassnixtx,
Mr Wheatley re-examined Mr. Vance.—Supposing at the lungs
of Mrs. Lloyd had been covered with small ulcers on the Gth of Octo-
ber, when she first consulted Mr. Long?—In my opinion, I have no
doubt but there would have remained some indication of their forma
existence.

The other medical gentlemen concurred in this opinion.
Mr. Campbell re-called, and examined by Mr. Wnoller.—.l acni.
Distend to Mrs. Lloyd saline aperient medicines, and applied simple
dressings to the wound; I afterwards gave her bark and mineral acid,
and then changed it to quinine. with the concurrence of Mr. Vance.
Mr. Vance recalled by Mr. Wooller.—Comnion blister will some-
times produce mortification.
Mr. Wordier now called the following witnesses :
Jaas kl4Deupll, the wife of Captain Coll MilDeu 1, of the 7116
=it of foot sween—l lodiraiVio. 11, these Casdoameet ; I am a
of Me Mow rs
Mowed M. ; about tan days penises to the
QM of Oateber, Mee. Lloyd came to Mr. Lanes home, whin I then
happened to be ; she toil me, in the preemies of Mr. Lang, that is had

been taken suddenly ill in the streets, and begged to be allowed to
sit down in the hall, as sbe felt so very ill ; she was afraid of going
further into the house, lest if she died there it would be said that Mr.
Long killed her ; she told me that she laboured under an seed= of
the throat, and that My. Vance had applied caustic to her throat.
In about half an boar Mrs. Lloyd went away, apparently pretty well ;
she was able to walk away. About a week afterwards I saw her
at Mr. Long's, and she told me that she had come to place ba-
self under Blr. Long's care for a very bad sore throat ; indeed,
she said, an ulcerated sore throat. She appeared to be very much op-
pressed. She then went in to inhale with the rest of the ladies, after
which she went down stairs and had an application made so her throat,
from which she told me she derived much benefit, and felt better. On
Sunday, I think it was the following day, Mrs. Lloyd came again to
Mr. Long's and inhaled, and had a second application made to the
throat, or it might have been lower. Immediately after this second ap-
plication she told me that she felt better. After this I did not see her
again. A few days after this Capt. Lloyd came to Mr. Long's, and
on my enquiry of him how Mrs. Lloyd, was he said that she was
very poorly.
By Mr. Wooller.—l have been a patient of Mr. Long's, and—
The Jury objected to this examination, and a long discussion took
place between the professional gentlemen.
Mr. Wooller said that similar evidence had been given at another
inquest ?
The Coroner said that if Mr. Wooller produced evidence to show that
some persons had been cured by Mr. Long. it would be competent for
the other side to call witnesses to prove cases where he had failed. The
Coroner decided that the evidence could not be received.
By Mr. Wheatley.—l was examined at the Old Bailey as to Mr.
Long's practice. I was a visitor at Mr. Long's house from January
to the 11th of March.
Mr. Wheatley.--What do you mean by inhaling ?
Witness--Inhaling from a tube in the room. It has various tastes.
Juror—Have you ever been rubbed at Mr. Long's ?
Witness—l have, with a sponge. The rubbing gave no pain at the
time.

Juror—What sensation did you feel ?
Witness-1 felt much better after.

By the CORONER—After the rubbing it produced a discharge—there
was a lotion put into the sponge; Mr. Long treated all his patients in
the same manner. I went to Mr. Long to attend me for inflammation
of the lungs. He has also attended me for scarlet fever; I cannot tell
the colour of the liquid ; I am bound not to tell; I have signed a book.
Mr. Long also attended me a third time for a cold and ulcerated sore
throat, and in each case he cured me.
By a Juror—The liquid was of a milk.wldte colour—it was always
the same.

By a Juror—l am a distant cousin of Bin. Lloyd's.
Juror—Do you know when Mr.Viume used the caustic to Blrs.Lloyd ?
Witness-1 understood from her it was about two years ago.
This answer excited great surprise. In answer to a question, the
witness said that she was a widow.

Miss Gertrude Smith, of George-street, Hanover-square, sworn—l
have been acquainted with deceased about two months. I nt met her
at Mr. Long's, in Harley-street Cabe said she felt so ill in the street that
she thought she would have dropped down; she begged to be allowed
to sit in the hall, fearing that if she went farther into the house she
might die, and people might say that Mr. Long had killed her. Af-
ter a short time, Mrs. Lloyd came into the dining-room, where Mr.
Long was at lunch. Captain Lloyd and Mrs. Lloyd were present
at the time. In about a fortnight aftet she became a patient of Mr.
Long's • I again met her there; she told me that she had come to
Mr. Long's for a bad sore throat, and that she had not, recovered
the effects of a blister. She said that from the inhaling and one
application she had derived the greatest comfort. I never saw her
after this time.
By Mr. Wooller.—l have not been a patient of Mr. Long's ; I
have used the lotion for mere curiosity; the lotion used by Mr. Long,
lam positive, was always the same. Never heard that Mrs. Lloyd
applied to Mr. Long for an inflammation of the lungs.
By Mr. Wheatley—l visited Mr. Long's with my sister and cousin,
who are now patients of Mr. Long's. Mn. Lloyd appeared to be very
ill when I first saw her. I should be astonished if she could have walked
five miles. She walked into Mr. Long's accidentally. Captain Lloyd
was there.

31r. Wheatley—Came in by accident!!
Colmar's How came Captain Lloyd there ?
Witness : I believe he is a friend of Mr. Long's.
Mr. Wheatley: Are you a friend of Mrs. Long's?
Witness : No. He is not a married man ;in fact lam sure he is not.
By the Coins Ea : Mrs. Lloyd told me that she came into Mr.
Long's by accident, on account of her illness.
Rosetta Prendergast, the wife of Michael Prendergast, M.P. of No.
2. Grove-end.road, St. John's Wood, sworn—My husband is a Mem-
ber of Parliament. I first saw the deceased at the Inquest on the late
Miss Caitlin. I saw her a few days previous to her becoming a patient
of Mr. Long's. I saw her again. Never had any conversation with
Mrs. Lloyd. I have been a patient of Mr. Long's.
This evidence was stopped, as not bearing on the case.
Mr. Wooler said that he had forty or fifty witnesses to call; but as
it had been decided not to hear evidence as to Mr. Long's practice, be
bad nothing farther to offer.
The Coaosen recapitulated the evidence, and concluded by observ.
ing, that if the Jurors were convinced that Mrs. Lloyd had died from
gross ignorance or wilful neglect, clearly established, it would be then
their duty to return a verdict of Manslaughter ; if, on the other hand,
they did not think that the evidence went so far, they would return a
verdict of Natural Death.
At half-past five o'clock the Jury retired to consider their verdict, and
in about half an hour returned.
Casoxxx.—Gentlemen, have you considered your verdict ?
Foreman.—We have, Sir, and will read it. " We, the Jurors, have
carefully considered our verdict, and can come to no other decision than
a verdict of Manslaughter against Mr. John St. John Long."
Mr. GelL—Will you allow me to ask you on what grounds?
Foreman and Jurors.—On the ground of gross ignorance, setting
aside any thing else.—(Some expressions of applause, which were in.
scantly checked by the Coroner.)
Mr. Ellis, the Foreman, then begged to read a paper, which the Jury
wished to accompany their verdict.

Foitzmax.--" In delivering their verdict, the Jurors unanimously
agree that a further duty is due from them to the public, on this im-
portant and melancholy occasion, and which they take the opportu-
nity of performing, by declaring their solemn convictions that the time
Is now arrived, when it is absolutely necessary for the legislature
to adopt some measure, with a view of preventing the further uteri.
flee of human life, by persons practising surgery without possessing
sufficient qualifications for that important branch of science."
Mr. Gera., the Coroner, said that he perfectly agreed with the Jury
in the propriety of the verdict which they had delivered, and he was
also of opinion that it was high time the legislature ought to in.
raters, to put a stop to such a dangerous practice.
Captain Lloyd now entered the room, and said that he should become
the prosecutor, but he bore not the least antipathy, or had he any feel.
ing of resentment against Mr, St. John Long ; the only object he had
in view was for the sake of public justice.
The parties were then all bound over to prosecute, and Mr. Gell
Issued his warrant to Robert Sargent, the constable, for the apprehen-
sion of Mr. St. John Long.
During the day the doors of the Jury-room were quite besieged by
gentlemen of the medical profession, many of whom it was found int.
possible to accommodate.

We have received a copy of the letter, or rather printed letter, cir-
culated among the profession, which is supposed to have been the one
alluded to by Mr. Brougham on Wednesday night. The principal pas-
sages are u follow : the first certainly implies a threat, and the second
pretty evidently points out Mr. Brougham as the person threatened._.

According to our notions, thetminstrel who,while travert.ing this

for one hour of the wearisome journey, deserves to be gratefully distill.'
for his exertions; and we think a share of this gratitude is due to
Hammon, the author of this annual. We, knights of the pet.,
ever, feel ourselves a little degraded at thus becoming subordinat,
those of the pencil and burin ; and although we think Mr. HAIRlin;
has very ingeniously wrote to the sketches of Mr. Rowiawnsow, 5,
do not approve such an adaptation of his talent ; and in future we wts,ht
recommend, both to himself and his publisher, next year to make •;,
aforesaid knights of the pencil and burin, stoop canonically to th,
knights of the pen. The present volume consists of incidents, or
toriettes, containing characteristic sketches, which the author has mad,
susceptible of humour and satire. There is, in general, more point k
the detail, than in the plot of the tales; and we evidently pereetrt !ILI,
the author's original talent has been sadly cramped by the circutimm -

And in some, who like Sandy Macsqueak
Are peripatetic professors.

There was one who gained riches and glory
So quickly that, Sir, I'll devote,
A stanza or two to his story.
Dishy Chaunt was a genius I—and took
To the musical art very soon;
Squall'd by note for his supper, and shook
The bells of his coral to tune.
Not a moment t'would seem did he wart
Since we find him performing an air,
With great execution and taste,
On a trumpet he'd bought at a fair!
Next our hero his talents display'd,
The kitchen utensils among;
Of the tongs a triangle he made,
While the warming-pan served far a gong.
His Pandeans, he made, fiat and sharp,
With the pipes of thehoutsekeeper's keys ;
And by way of JEolian harp,
Hung the gridiron up to the breeze.
His Mamma, who deem'd this exhibition
Of talent exceedingly rare,
Resoled, when he'd finish'd dentition,
To make the metropolis stare.
So her pet, on her knee, by the stage,
With his hair interestingly eurl'd,
Reach'd London which is, I'll engage

A MAN OF AN lIUNDRED YEARS.
From the Jamaica ayes! Gazette, AIN 24.
A correspondent of the Worcester (Mass.) Avis, has recently a:
tended the celebration of the hundredth birth-day of Melatiah Matsui,
at Thompson (Connecticut). He gives the following interesting ac.
count of it :
I never before bad seen a person a hundred years old. This singular
novelty created an interest not less singular, much heightened, no
doubt, by the circumstance that this old man, and my little boy, wk
was with me, constituted the extreme of five generations. The occa.
sion called together quite a concourse of the old gentleman's posterity,
friends and neighbours and townsmen, and appropriate religious set.
vices were had at the Baptist Church in Thompson. Elder (how
preached from 3d Timothy, 3-6, 7, and& " For lam now ready
to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand," &c. Thk
preacher stated that the old gentleman had, for three score years and
ten, been &professor of religion—that the number of his surviving
children was six—grand children fifty-three—great grand children,
about an hundred and fifty, besides a number of great-grand grand
children. Several branches of the old gentleman's family are settled
in this commonwealth. Among others is the large fanftly of White
in Northbridge, and the family of Dr. Bullard, of Sutton.
After the religious exercises of the occasion were over, I endeavoured
to ascertain by what means, under Gon, in whom he had so early put
his trust, this man of an hundred years had managed to live so long h
the world. He informed me that he was born at Rehoboth ; that I,
was brought up to the trade of a mason, and continued to work at It
more or less, until he was eighty years old. That when young,
married a" worthy woman," by the name of Rebecca Miller, by whon,
he bad 12 children, and whom he buried but a few years ago. He said
he always worked hard—had frequently walked ten miles in the morn.
ling, and then done his day's work.
Upon being questioned as to his mode of living, he modestly said,
he had always aimed to be temperate--that, when he used to work hard,
he drank a little spirits—but never used tobacco us say way—once is
a whik he mocked a little for amusement—but never a pipe pal at
a time. He is a person small in stature—thick-set—and has to this
day a good deal of hair and a fine bright eye. The most characteristic
of his mind was that of " equanimity and cheerfulness. And herein.
undoubtedly, consists the main secret by which the subtle machinkry
of his life had been so long kept in motion."
E.LECTIoN LEUNG TAcTics.—During the present week
a number of placards have been circulated, emanating from the friends
of Mr. Denison, the candidate for the representation of Liverpool; one
of which contained, in large characters, the words, " Denison's the man
for Liverpool." In this placard some ingenious friend of air. Ewart his
contrived to interpolate very neatly the word "not "—a mode of turning
the enemy's guns upon himself ; which has caused sonic amusement in

Many threatening letters have been sent to farmers, espe-
cially at East Grinstead and at Gardner•street ; and one case has been
mentioned to us, where the letter was accompanied with a rag dipped
in blood. Several gentlemen around Brighton were also named, a few
days since, as having received similar menaces but we are happy to
be assured that these reports we without tountiation. It is, however,
unhappily too true. that a reckless spirit of insubordination has gortc
forth, which may lead to frightful results, if not vigorously and bl-
atantly checked. The following, which occurred on &today last, is 3
peed ;--In one of the eastern villages of this county a vestry mooting
was held in the church after divine service, when, all the principal
il in•
habitants being present, it was determined to call in,the el', of
whom more than 100 were assembled in the churchyard, and lemon•
state with them. This was done. They were asked what they sought.
"" An int:reamer wages," was the reply. " But," said the farmers,
you know, from the price of corn and the amount of rates, that se
cannot afford to give more." " Then," rejoined the labourers, " tt''
great ones must do it. Comply," they added,!" with our demand. and
we will stand by you ; refuse, and there are 100 men ready to join us
at a moment's notice." And this occurred in a place where `24 howr
before, no man suspected the existence of the slightest discontent.--
