rants back : be undentoed it to be Mr.PhiMpes intention to bring
actions whist eke Newspapers.
Mr. Philllpe—Ob. Mr. Churchill, I have higher game than

- -
nevrep in view.
Mr. put a stop to the conversation, and recommended
the ponies to lay aside their irritated feelings. He added that
he theeglit Mr. Phillips had been actuated by the best motives
detaughillet the affair.
Mr. Phillips observed that at least one-third of the documents
before the Magistrates had been furnished by him.
Mr. Haul said that was perfectly true; and he hoped
that the parties would retire from that room with a thorough
conviction upon their minds that everything bad been done by
_ the
Magistrates to bring the busioess to a satisfactory issue. There
was oce remark which be was desirous of making, that it
be maturely considered by the gentlemen of the medical profes-
sion, whether the mystery which bad been attributed to this case
had not arisen from the peculiar nature of the poison. It was well
known that the effects produced by opium were subject to a
variety of changes, and that it not only operated differently on op.
posits constitutions, but alma varied in its effects when taken at
different seasons of year or periods of the day. By an admix,.
cure of opium and verjuice, the quality of the former became so
altered, that its effect could net possibly be known • and it was
mutter for the consideration of medical men, whether senna and
opium might not produce the very same results. Senna was one
of the ingredients in the medicine taken by the unfortunate lady.
Mr. Snow s But there was no opium mixed in that medicine.
Mr. HALLS (without seeming to notice this interruption) added,
that he wished the medical profession to consider the effects of
senna and opium, which, as far as his knowledge eatended, migbt
be illustrated by whet lawyers Galled " the keeping of an operation
in abeyance."
Mr. Churchill begged to say that the medical gentlemen were
very far from wishing to avoid a legal inquiry; out the contrary,
the investigation had originated with them.
Mr. Hain proceeded to distribute the papers with which Sir
R. Brame and himself had been furnished; and in the first
place, banded to Mr. Snow the brief which had been used by Mr.
Adolphus.
Mr. Phillips : Mr. Snow, give you ten guineas for that brief.
Mr. Snow": I'll have nothing to do with you, sir.
Mr. Phillips : take care you sha'nt'.
Mr. Cox said that a most important document furnished by
Mr. Scott had not been delivered back.

Mr. Haus said he did not recollect to have seen the paper al-
luded to, and Sir H. Bums was equally unconscious of •such a
paper having been furnished.
Mr. Cox said that the document in question was a most im-
portant document, as it contained the testimony of Ann Anderson,
who stated that, when the matter was tint agitated, she was sent
up to town to be out of the way, and cautioned against answer-
ing questions.
Mr. Phillips denied this, and declared that this individual was at
all times ready to answer any question that might be put to her.
Mr. Cox said the papers had been left In the clerk's dice at
seven o'clock on Wednesday night. In addition to the evidence
of Ann Anderson, the same paper also contained the statements of
Ann Ward and Mrs. Bassett.

Mr. Vine, the clerk, said that be bad banded the papers deli-
vered by_ Mr. Cox to Ste R. Bums, by wbom they wete forwarded
to Mr. HALLS.

Mr. Hato said, however, that he had not seen them.
A discussion here took place, as to whether, if the documents
alluded to were re-furnished, the Magistrates would reconsider the
matter, and the Magistrates having consented to do this, copies of
them were handed in by Mr. Cox.
Mr. Phillips asked if it was to be understood that the perusal of
these papers was to have the effect either of leaving the case as it
was before, or of inducing them to adopt another line of conduct?
Mr. Haiti said the Magistrates would finally determine the
matter the next day, and those who thought it might attend.
Mr. Phillips offered to hand back to Mr. Halls his papers, but
Mr. Hau.s declined to receive them, saying he bad no occasion to
re-peruse them, and that if they were required, he dared my Mr.
Phillips would not hesitate to give them up.
Mr. Phillips replied that he certainly would not, as it was his
wish that the whole of the documents should be made public.
Mr. HA/J.l said, if he found it necessary to send for the papers,
he should do so • neither would he hesitate to send for the person
of Mr. Phillips himself, if required.
After some further conversation. the case was adjourned until
tomorrow.
