time the unfortunate giil was cor.liucd, the after-birth wos not removed until Borao two or three hours afterwards, ami that iv tho moantimo sho went out side the house, without shoes or stocking;) on, to bury the child, and this, too, on a cold winter night. Under these circum stances, he whhed to ask if peritonitis or inflammationoftholowerreiioussupervened, would not tho symptoms be those which had characte iseil the girl's illness, and would they not furlhcr produce tha results ob«erved in the post rmrtem examination! Dr Richardson replied that he had a*ccr tuinnd all tills from tno girl herself, and tliut therefore it was not new to him. Ue did not con»id»r th»t these facts »atisf»c torily explained the girl's illuc«» (a month after her confinement), or accounted f«r the results of the post 'mortem examination, Kxuminatioii coutinncd : I ask»d Mrs Cleaver's permission to take Dr. Walker with me to the pout mortem ex amiuation, ns ho h«d been associated With lUO in ths case; sho consented. First ol all wo observed tbo body generally, and found it fairly nourished, preienting no marks Ot Violence. I opened the abdonieu, and examined first of ull the stomach and small intestines. I found them extremely congf sted cene rally, and iv. one place we discovered the intestine* ulcerated through, and some other places wore partially ulcer ated. In oue place firm adnesions had formed, nßKlutiaatiug or bUding down the small intestiues Jirmly to the lumbar rogions and neighbouring parti. The large intestines presented in places marks of severe congestion but I discovered no obstructions iv the intestines trom begining to end. We then removed tho siomach, tying each end entrance and exit-und thm opened the stomach, and afterwards tho intestine*. I found tuat the stomach contained a quantity of coaj>ulated fluid mixed with milk, i also observed that tho entrance to

the stomach (tha tesophajus), together with a [portion of tho gullet attached, was inflamed and. corroded, and that tho largo end of the stomach wus congested In place, while the small end was iotensely congouted and corroded, the coats being eateu par tially through. I then ex»mia«d the por tion of the »mall inttstine which Is next to the stomach (the duodenum), and was ob liged to dissect it, so firmly fixed was it. Un openiug it I perceived intense conees tion throughout in sovtr.il pkc«s, the in testine being almost eaten through—and iv one place eaten quite through, hut with the slongh or decayed parts adherent over a portion of tho perforation. This perfora tion was iii tho duodenum, mid within threo inches of the stomach. I examined with tho lens, but could -not find any arsenic there. The liver showed one or two tr-ces of congestion, and the uterus presentod nothing unusual. At this time (tho day after death) we proceeded no further with the post mortem examination. We saw no sparks of arscnious acid'ad hering to tno*o ulcers, although I looked for them. 1 found, however, .1 comuilerablo quantity of amber-coloured, deal' fluid ill tno pentoneal cavity. To tho Coroner : 'l'he gall bladder was intact and full oi bile.

Examination continued : I removed some of this amber fluid, also portions of the stomach aud small intestine, and took them with nio ior analysis, Dr. Walker likewise taking portions of them. >Ye toon tbem in bottles tbat I had brought wiih mo. 'ihis concludod the first post mortem examination. At bune thai night I tested for arsenic. X used the auiber coloured fluid, and it gave the customary re-actiona with the fluid test, but it sub s'quently underw»nt a change in colour. These first tests were (1) the ammenia— nitrate tf silver — which gave a bright yellow prwripitate, which became mixed aomo minutes later and formed a wki-e precipitate, and (2) the ammonia, sulphate of copper, which pivc a green precipitate. After this I njipiUd Iteioßch's teat.

The Coroner kere handed ronnd amongst the jurors books explaining the various tests in vogue amongst medical men and the nature of the instrument* used.

Examination continued—l took a tost tube and put some of the amber-coloured fluid into it and added to it about one tenth part of hydro-chrolic acid, then intro duced some bright copper wire and boiled the liquid over a spirit lamp. In about teu minute* afterward I found that the copper wire had changed colour to steel-gray. I poured off the liquid and washed the copper wir» with water, subsequently placing it on blotting paper to dry. I then put the wire into a Ion" narrow test tube and applied the spirit lamp underneath it, whilst over the opening of the te3t tuba I placed two successire pieces of clear glass. C'n these I observed to form a whitish circular patch of. crystallise appearance. * I put these slips of glass under a microscope and found the coating to be composed of octa hedron (eight-sided) crystals, perfect in form, but'in various positions. The Coroner explained ih»t these were the characteristics Ot organic Crystlll.

Examination continued.-I took one of these slips glass containing the deposit and touched it witn a drop of nitrate of silver solution (strength, half a drachm to the ounce) and blew over this the vapour of ammonia, and tbo moment I did so it changed to a bright yellow colour. I then took the other piece of glass and touched it with a drop of ammonia .sulphato of copper solution, the, result being its cbang* U bright green. Tuis concluded the testing on-tbat occa sion. Dr. Walker had promised te let we know next morning the results of bis ex amination, and he did-so. He told me that he had found arsenic and we compared notes. I then (viz., abtut 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning), went to the p»lice station and requested that the coroner should be cotnmubicatcd.witb. 1 made a further post mortem examination, assisted by Dr Walker, either on that Wednesday 01 the following day. I examined tho urinary bladder, and found it contracted and containing only a fensponnful or two of urine. I also examined the uterus or womb and its appendages, and fonnd them about normal, and examined further the kidneys, finding them congested, but with the capsule or external covering of the kidneys so free that it might bo torn off. This is it? normal state. In Bright's disease one wonlii fifid it rather adherent, I next examined the liver, and found it normal too, except that it was con gested in one or two places. I examined the heart likewise and found it normal, a'so the lungs. I took out the greater portion of the gullet, and found it congested and slightly corroded. I found the pleura normal, and tho brain and its membranes abo—the brain, however, being a little passively congested. I opened the largo intestine down to the rectum, and fonnd throughout its extent patches of severe congestion hero and there. The same features were observable in the small intes tines with this exception, that come portions of the latter were pretty free from conges tion. I removpd other parts of the stomach, intestines, and liver, aud handed them oyer — for farther analysis —to the police officer who was present, v«., De tective Strathearn. They were placed by Dr, Walker and myself in pickle Tjoltles. were secured by being tied down ana sealed in my presenco before buing taken away. I also took portions honie with me lor further analysis. The symptoms of deceased's illness and the results of jio analysis are not consistent with th.c theory that deaith was caused by peritonitis or loiUtnrnation of the bowels, resulting from oxposure immedi ately after confinement, and tho non extraction of tho after-Mttb, for two honrs after delivery. If theso wero the causes, the traceu should have been nearer the uterus, instead of in the stomach. Still, it was a very risky thing for the girl to have ventured out without shoes or stockings, and immediately aftor confinement, for the purpose of burying the child. During tho post mortem examination I pointed out to Dr. Walker the marked absence of coDgestioH in the nturus and ovarna, The results of the further chemical analysis with Beinsph's test were the some as those of the first analysis, but not so abundant.

To the Coroner—l have been accustomed to analytical chemistry.

To Supt. Thomson : Mrs IJmler gave me some scraps of paper, which sne bad picked up in the yard, and which she supposed to have been thrown into some vomit by deceased. 1 placed them in a jar in my house and did not remove them until Detective Strathem calkd, when I gavo him them, after tearing off a portion, J found a whitish substance adhering to it, but it was not of a crystalline character. I applied Keinsch's test to this substance, but got no icsuU. The substance was observable to the naked eye, and looked like fine particles of oatmeal, I felt sure, after I had applied the test, that it did not contain arsenic, mercury, oranti> niony.

To the Coroner: This is the third case of aivonical poisoning that has come under my notice. In one of the preceding cases I did notsee the perforation, but I did knoiv that it had taksn place. The case was that of Mrs Colonel Talbot, in 1861 or 1862, and it happened in England In her caie, too, there \i ere peritoneal adhesions. There was no perforation in the other previ ip« ease that ? bave referred to. m Krs -ajbot'3

caao, also, the illness was of longer dura tion than Mrs Cleaver's, something like three weeks, I think. To the Coroner : I obtained the copper fail from samples u»ed in the chemical laboratory at tbo Grammar School; tho wire I had m)scif. I made some of these tests in conjunction with Dr Walker and I Mr Tornson, lecturer on chemistery at the I Grammar School. The Coronenemarked that Taylor, iv his " Medical Jurisprudence," gave seven days as the longest duration of illness ia cases of arsenical poisoning, although some were mentioned in which tho patients dkd of the subsequent exhaustion. To the Coroner : I tested and ex amined all my tubes, instruments, and acids bef»re employing them, besides using distilled water until the supply ra» out. The only tens which I completed were Sbiel's green te3t aud Reinsch's. 1 comitcnced Mnrth'p, but did not complete it. I have the glass slides at home, and now prestnt samples of the copper foil and pieces of tlie wire in its normal state asd after bein<; used—tho latter bciug coated jvith stecl-;>uy. These aitic'es were then producsd and handed round foe ocrutiuy,

The Coroner remarked that there wai enough aricnicum upon the used pieces to obtain a further test from.

At ibis stage the inquest was adjourned for an honr, tue proceedings being resumed at half-pant two. Sergeant-Major Pardy was the only addi. tional person present.

Dr. Richardson v examination was then continued. He said :—I know no dis ease capable «f 'producing all the symp toms and appearances I bare described, and I consider the deceased's death, there fore, io have been caused by some irritaut poison. Cross.txnmintd by Mr Coeper : I say I'Ositively that the came ol death wa» f astro-enteritis. It it capable ot sing produced without poison, but not in conjunction with the symptom* presented iv this cuo. Thcie special symptoma were tbe fact of tbs gullet being inflamed and injured, a thiig that I bare nover setn in any caso of gustro-enteritis. Gastro-en'eritis, too, proceeds from some cause which leaves certain appearances behind it, and these appoaranors were absout in tho ca»e of tho deceased. Inflammation of the gullet has been met with occasionally incases of arsenical poisoning, and it is a symptom, though not a common one, of such poisoning. It is much more frequeutly caused by * corro sive, but arsenic is sometimes a corro sire, There was a good deul of in- Ikmmatiou iv the email end of the stomach, but in tho larger end not so much. i here is no positive rule that iv coses of arsenical poisaaiip tho larger *ud it more inflamed than the smaller end. The severity of tho iufltmuiatioa in tho smaller intestine was the caiue of the per foration noticed there. I found no viable trace ,of arsenic during my exami nation, although 1 used a lens. I did find some arsenic ip tbo stomach aud iutestine, but tiio quantity was rery much less than that foiled in the umber-coloured liquid, which was a serous efiuiien pro ceeding from inflammation In the iatestines aud ia the p:ritontuin covering the iu testines. Tbia Said is hot, peculiar to can's oturs?Dicil poisoning, and[it it ia not m«t wi hiu all cases of inu»m»tion of tin bowtls. There wits about a pint or thereabouts of ii this liquid. I look a portion of it for examiDiuiuu, and the remainder I pnt ia to a bed-pan which \v;u iv the room. The portion that I kept I put into a bottle that I bud brought with me from my surgery. The bottle w»a new, as I bad un packed it from tho crate, and I had rinsed it with drinking water obtained from a tank. It was stopped with a new cork, bnt I «id not test th« latter for the purpose of a>ccrUlning whether theie was any impurity about i». I never heard of arsenic beint; found in corki before, and I should certninlj say that, as far ai I know, both bot le nnd cork w«re fiee from arssaic before 1 used them for »he fluid. I have do portion of th« liquid analysed left now, but fomo of it that was left in the bed-pan was taken »way iwo dajs ar'envard» to Mr Pond for analyst. 1 save it to Detective Stra'hearn is crder that ho should take it to Mr Pond, aad I ha?e «o roasoi to Joubt th»t that was part of tbe same fluid thit I had analysed. I replaced tho sto«ach i* tbe body after ha»ing removed it. ft had only beo... shifted on to tht surface of the body, an 4 after the contents ware emptied into a chamber, it was re placed in tho abdominal cavity. Prom the chamber the contents were poured into a }ickle jar, aid then taken to Mr Pond, but I took no«o of this fluid that came from the stomach, neither oid Pr Walker. I took so atepi to ascertain whether the chamber was clean and free from impurity. On the day of the second examination (Thursday) I removed tbo stomach altogether ; it was divide* int« four portions—one each being neut to the Coroner, and Mr Pond, and Dr Walker, and mjsclf taking the other twe—tbe object being to get four independent tests.

The Coroner here meptionrd that his por tion was in tbe possession of Mr Pond, anJ still uuder heal.

Cross-examinatiou costumed :1 he fir»t test that I used was the ammonia nitrate of silver, which produces a yellow precipitate, and in this case it gave a bright yellow tint —but not a dark yellow, I wouU not rely upon this by itself as a test. Tbe ammonia sulphate of copper produces Scheel's green, and tliat aim is not a reliable test taken alone. The test that I reilly rely upon is Reinsch's.

Dr Richardson, in the remainder of hu examination, gave a irinuto account of the tetts he applied and their results. The crystals obtained were, he believed, ar ee«ic. He had prescribed bismuth, but th&t does cot cryatali.se —it is amorphous (formless),

THE NEW COMET.

I'HK comot which is now visible in the early morning over the eastern horizon has not appeared altogether unexpectedly. Many of your readers will remember that a total eclipse ot the sun occurred on the 16th of M&y last, visible in Egypt, whjro an English expedition was sent to ob serve it. During the totality of thai eclipse a comet' was ' observed, about a solar diameter from the sun's limb, and was photographed on the safae'plate as the carona py Mr A. p. Ranyard. Since that date the comot baa been lopked.for most persistently by ob servers in both hemispheres, but without any trace of it being found, and, as Mr Ranyard remarked -" it seemed as if all ap pertaining to the stranger would remain a mystery." In all probability our present visitor is the tame comet as was then observed'j but wliether he is moving to wards us or away from v«, whether ho is nearer* or" more distant from us than the sun's centre, or whether be has passed, or has to pass his perihelion, a'ro all points which must be lett for time and futnre observation to . decide. If it is the same comet aa referred to above, then, it ia most likely he is on his pntwaid journey, and that he wilj Boon quit our gaze. -- ''••■ • S.J. LAMBBBT, F.B.A.S. The comet was observed yesterday morn ing at 4 o'clock by the engineer of the s.s, Oreti. He states ij; wab close tq the mqon, and bad a long Uil. The comet is un doubtedly ' identical with that ob served in Anttrttlia, and concerning which a cablegram was published in last Friday's issue. Telegrams from Wellington and Timaru Bfatp that the celestial .stranger was also observed there; in the north-eastern sky, at Wellington, it was vlsjble from 4.10 a.m. to 5 a.m.

The following were re ported withoot amendments : -Amnesty, and North Island Loan Bill, Ministers' Salaries. Major Atkinson said tint beforo pro ceeding with the business ho desired to make an explanation, loiuewbat personal to Ministers. It would be remembered that two years ago they bad consented^ to reduce their qwu salaries SO per cent. It was at the time of the general reduction. They did so, not b»o*u«e they thought they were over> paid, but because they thought the action •n their prut vonld leave thrra free to deal with the sulario* at others. They new pro posed to draw tht foil 'alariea, and beftre doi*g so, they desirad to get a* •xprtsstitn of opinion from that House.
