coat he found some small white particles, which be
collected and subjected to a test, by mixing theta with
lampblack in a glass tube, closed at the end. The

she said, m Yes ; hut who caw testify that I gave it
him ?" Witness asked what she had done with
it, and the prisoner replied, " Thore now !" Wit-

With rats. The prisoner answered she had
heard rats for two nights, Tiousdiy and Friday
eighty, and went to Penzance and bought the poiso
on Saturday. She bronglit it home ;tad mixed pasi
of it in dough, and put it in the pantry, an I locked this
;dour; the rest she left on the dresser ; but whether,
her husband took any of it she could not tell--hil
might take it in his let for sugar, as he was food of

(the 15th), and she said to her bushatol—" you are
poorly, eat a bit of butter." She said she would not
do aarh a thing (as poison her husband) for a lapfull
of
money ; if she could not have agreed with ber hus-
band, she would bare parted. The day after the body
was taken up, witness was with the prisoner, who ap-
peared to be in great distress, and cried out t‘ 'finkin !
