A coachman named Griffith, who had been In
the service OF DIR. Gully, and afterward OF Mrs.
Bravo, and Ia married to her former connden-
tial maid, gave evidence Of a very extraord mary
character as to purchases Of tartar emetic which
he made while in her service. He left her ser
vice In January last. He used II for
the horses, but did not mention the
fact to her. When he left. he said,
he threw away the contents OF the bottle.
This msn was In Guliy's service at Malvern In
July, 1859. when Ricardo, who, 1t will be remem-
bered, was sick sixty times day, was there.
"rhe coacbman, who told him OF the efficacy OF
tartar emetio for horses, was now dead : he did
not know any other coschmsn who used II. Be-
fore he entered DIR. Gully's service he never
used 1t. lie might have delivered to DIR. Gully
two ounces OF tartar smetic, which he bought at
Malvern" This mans evidence was highly I'M
satisfactory. The next day he said he would
swear that he did not deliver the tartar emetc
to Dr. Gully.
