facts. The injury, as evidenced from the examiDa-
tion must, in my opinion, haze been applied to the
left side and somewhat from behind. in the region
where the head and neck meet. There was no bruise
or superficial injury either on the head or neck. The
etfusOn OF blood about the brain might have caused
death, but the injury of the neck, the dislocation,
weuld then have been omitted in the estimate of causes,
and is itself a sufficient and more constant cause Of
death than the efusion alone. There was no abrasure
about the head or neck externally. nor any bruise
internally upon removing the skull-cap the effusion
Of blood was observed in both temporal regions, be-
meath the durd mater, and apparently in its tissue.
In opening the duTG mater and raising the brain, a
large quantity of blood was found about the base Of
the brain and the opening Of the spinal column. The
GurG mater is . III. ok membrane that covers the brain.
/ looked for rupture Of the meningcal artery, but WAS
unsuccessful in finding any The mcningeal artery
runs between the skull and the coverings Of the brain,
and sends small branches for the nOurishment Of
both Of them into their respective tissues. Although,
there was di5location Of the Thru yertebra, there was
no thickening or apparently unnatural growth about
the dislocated part or those adjoining. and this absence
induced me to conclude the injury to be recent. The
blood eIus@d about the base of the brain might be
caused by the same injury as produced the dislOcation
Of the neck. There was no bruise externally or inter
nally Ga that side Of the head. The dislocation is the
greatest Of the manifest causes Of death, and therefore
the most probable one.
Cross-erGmiHei-i discovered, upon removing the
blood, considerable extrayasatiOn Of blood in both
The discoloration from presence Of blood
beneath or within the durG mater, extended some
above the line at which the separation of the
skull was made, say an inch or inch and a quarter,
with indistinct edges. The thickness Of the layer Of
blood was not estimated; the durd meter was opened
in search Of the efusion, the quantity OF eSusion was
to cause death, if nothing else had been
found. Efusion seldom occurs without shock. nerv-
Gus shock; slight etfusion may accompany aud fix the
fact of shock. The bone at the temporal region is thin

The temporal bone IS very complex: there is "A fat
portion 20 il IN the region commonly called the tenn

greater injury is more easily inflicted upon that part

means an escape Of blood from the vessels naturally
containing it; it is blood outside the vessel; it may
out by emulation, but the quantity observed here
justified the suggestion of iaceraton or bursting, and
that impression l sought for tire injured vessel,
did not find it. The extravasation must have

previous, from the condition of the blood and brain.
