Upon stating to her in the presence of
Justice Dawson the object of our visit, and
asking her if she was ready to have sneh
physical examination made, she said 'On
my own part do not object to any such ex-
animation, but / object to having it made, by
the advice of my counsel, Mr.. Stafford.
We further add, that no evidence of re-
cent delivery, independent of direct exami-
nation, were afforded us. There were no
appearances of late puerberal illness, nor any
s other symptoms except those which might be
attributed to nervous excitement. And we
know no reason, from her physical condition,
why she might not now be removed.

a mcroscoplcal examination OF the blood from
the pail, and of that from the placenta, or
after birth, the specimens being given TO us
by Captain Dilks of the Fifteenth Ward and
that we find them SO differing in their globun
lar appearances and size, that we pronounce
them to be of different origins"

an apparently languid and feeble condition.
Her daughters, Helen and Georgiana were

discretionary power to admit to bail; but in
this instance the evidence is so conclusive that
the power will hardly be exercised.
