THE DEATH UNDER CHLORO FORM.

Coroner's Inquest.—Verdict Exonerating

tho Doctor

Am inquiry into tho circumstances attend ing tho death of the late James Mullmlland (whose death was, referred to in Saturday's issuo) was hold on Saturday aftornoon at tho Naval and Family Hotel, Karanga hapo Iload, boforo Dr, Philson (Coroner) and a jury, of whom Mr W. P. Hargrave was chosen foreman. Mr T. Cotter, solici tor, was present on behalf of tho relatives, and Drs. Richardson, Stockwell, and Ken dcrdino wcro present, besides Dr. Stalker, who had administered chloroform to the do ceascd.

Dr Stalker now deposed. lam a duly qualified medical practitioner. I was called to attend deceased on Thursday last, at a quarter past two. I visited him at his house in Upper Pitt-street, and found him suffering from paraphimosis. On that' afternoon I ordered a purgative of Epsom salts and hot fomentations, in tho hope of thereby reducing the inflammation. I was informed that this condition had existed from the beginning of the week. I visited him yesterday (Friday), at 5 p.m. I found the ulcerntion .sloughing, and inflammation was worse. I thereupon informed tho patient that it would be necessary for me to operate. Ho then requested mo to give him chloroform. I said, yes ; I had brought some with mo for the purpose. He then rapped on tho table for his wife to come, which sho immediately did. There was a man in the room named Hughes, whom I requested to remain to assist me. Mrs Mulhollnnd re marked that tho patient was 'delicate, whereupon I sounded his heart with a steth oscope, and found no evidence of disease. I then asked Mrs Mulhollund to bring me towels, which she brought, and cold water ; I also asked for a sponge, but I did not get it. Mrs Mulliolland then withdrew, and I proceeded to administer chloroform. This i did alone, because I believed tho operation was so trifling as not to require professional assistance, as I had frequently seen it done elsewhere. I administered the chloroform on a handkerchief, following tho Edinburgh school. I poured a small quantity on the handkerchiol. I did not measure it, but estimated it at half a drachm. Tho hand kerchief was kept well away from the patient's face to dilute it with air. Mr Hughes stood behind mo ready to hold hi* hands. (After about two minutes the patient, who had hitherto been quiet, began to enter tho second stage of in halation, and became excited. During all tho time I kept my linger on tho con junctiva of tho eye, so that I might know when reflex action was abolished and the patient fairly undor the influenco of the chloroform. This took place in about five minutes. I found it necessary to repeat the chloroform twice, making in all, 1 should think, tlireo drachms, but I did not measure the quantity. Insensibility took place within five minutes. I then re moved tho handkerchiof, and at this time the patient was breathing regularly and mildly stertorous. I then proceeded with tho oporation, and accomplished it success fully. Tho patient continued to breathe rogularly for about a minute after the opera tion was over, and thon the breathing suddenly ceased. 1 immediately commenced artificialrespi'ationaftcrSylvestcr'smethod. I did not feel the pulse at this time; I was too anxious about tho artificial respiration. At tho same time I begged Mr Hughes to throw open the window, which was dono ; and to bring mo some cold water, which woa dashed on the faco. and chest. The patient gave two deep sighs pt intervale of I should think a minute and a-lialf, whilst I during the whole time carried on tho arti licial respiration. I requested Mr Hughes at the samo time to go for Dr. Richardson, who arrived in a few minutes. Dr. Richard son rolievcd me of tho artificial respiration, by substituting Marshall Hall's method, whilst I drew forward tho tongue, and dashed water on the face. Dr. Richardson continued tho artificial respiration for twenty minutes, but no sign of life was perceived. Dr. Richardson next wont for Dr. Hoopor, who applied tho galvanic battory, but without avail. I informed Mrs Mulliolland of the result, and proceeded at once to giveinformation to the police I may say, in addition, that the patient's previous history was previously unknown to mo. I did not consider him o delicate-looking man. I did not detect any eigns of heart dieeaso. Ho had no cough. I do not know whother ho was subject to chest disease. I was unaware at tho time, but I have- sinco learned that ho was an extremely intemperate man. Thero was no sign of delirium tremens about him. I have been informed since that ho has frequently had dolirium tremens. It was at his own special request that I administered chloro form; notatmysuggestion. But I thought it advisable that chloroform should bo given, becauso the patient felt tho pain so acutely, and I could not porform tho operation other wise. I could not examino tho parts pro porly on account of the pain produced. Had I known that tho patient's habits were in temperate, and that he had been subject to dolirium treinons, I would not havo given tho chloroform. Ho was not convulsed. The caso did not appear to me require the attendance of a second practitioner. I have often given chloroform by myself. It is not at all unusual at Homo for practitioners to administer chloroform by themselves. They do not always require a second praotitionor for minor operations. lam not nblt to ac count for fatal rosult in this caso. I boliovo tho [fatal results on tho administration of chloroform to bo ono in throo thousand.

By Mr Cotter : I am 21) years of ace, and beforo practising in Auckland I had mado two voyages as a ship surgoon. I had gonoral practice in Edinburgh as a student. ! 1 was also in tho Stirling District Asylum. I had no gcnoral practice as a surgeon be fore coming to Auckland. I arrived horo January 10th last, and was rogisterod on March 4th in tho colony. I began practice horo fivo wooks ago. I have beon in charge of Dr. Dawson's practico einco Wednesday last. Tho deceased was ono of Dr. Dawson's pationts—not ono of my own. Dr. Dawson novor mentioned Mr Mulholland to me. I visited him in conformity with a request forwarded to Dr. Dawson's surgery on Thursday. I visited tho deceased on Thurs day and on Friday, but did not make up my mind to perform an operation till the Friday. I hod brought tho chloroform with mo on the Friday, but did not mention it until deceased ■asked for it. It ib not tho usual custom to inquire into tho patient's previous history beforo administering chlo roform. I did not do so on this occasion, but examined tho heart first. It is usual to give chloroform without making inquiries —as in the case of accidents brought suddenly into an hospital. I did not question the wifo or Mr Hughes as to whether tho deceased had been of intem perate habits. Tho decoasod did not seem to be a dolicato man. Excopting tho disoase from which ho was suffering, thero was no indication that, the deceased was not a man who had been careless of himsolf. I esteemed tho operation hecossary to save the parts affected from furtner destruction. It is a common practiso of medical prac titionors to administer chloroform witdout another medical man being prosont. \Yhen one can get such assistance it is botter to have it. It is not always customary to make inqnirios regarding the patient's state of health, but it is usual. .

Fredorick Hughes, clork in the Deeds Office, gave evidence concerning his ac quaintanco with deceased, and aftor nar rating the circumstances that led up to his presonce at tho timo of tho death, proceoded :--Aftor the performance o£ the operation, tho doctor asked mo to open the window. I tried to do so, but could not from tho inside. Mrs Mnl holland opened it from the verandah. I had no idea that thore was anything amiss. I then procured some water for the doctor, which was thrown on deceased's faco. At tho doctor's request I went for Dr. Richard son, and returned to deceased's houso with that gentleman. I saw the deccasod, but could not say if he was alive then. Dr. Stalkor thon told me that I might leave, which I did. Did not hear the doceased ask Stalker to givo him chloroform, nor did I hear Dr. Stalker propose to administer it. I did not know that it was to bo adminis tered till tho last momont, I did not know that deceased was dead till this morning. So far as lam personally awaro, deceased was sober and steady. I think that the doctor said he thought Mulholland was dead. I never saw Mulholland the worse of liquor ; had no knowledge of his habits.

Mrs Mnlhollaud, wifo of tho doceased, who was visibly affected, deposed : My lato husband's ago was :?3. Ho was not a healthy man—ho always had a dry cough, His habits were not always sober anil steady. Ho was never affected with dolirium tremens. ■ Ho was taken seriously ill on Monday last, and took to his bed. Dr. Dawson hod boon attending him previously, and told me to send for Dr. Stalker. On Thursday I sent for him to attend my hus band. Ho saw him on Thursday and on Friday. My husband told me ko did not think lie would be able to undergo an opera tion without chloroform, but 1 did not ob ject to ita use. Shortly after the doctor arrived I heard a ecftluoin the room and the docter told me it was all over.

Dr. Arthur Richardson, sworn, deposed : I was not acquainted with the deceased. At about 5.30 yesterday afternoon I was called to deceased's residence, and found him iying in bed with every appearance of death ; no respiration or circulation, and tho features pallid. Tho pupils wero dilated—moro than would bo usual in health ; no froth at the mouth. The limbs were flaccid. Dr. Stalker, who was present during my visit, told me he had been giving chloroform to reduce paraphymosis, and that tho patient had suddenly died. I endeavoured to restore artificial respiration, but without effect. I have this day made a post, mortem examination of the body. I found the body fairly well nourished. I examined the brain. The sinuses were gorged with blood, and the superior longitudinal sinus was obstructed by thematting together of the membrane with lymph. It did not form a complete obstruction. The venticles contained a large quantity of riorum, smelling of chloriform. The sub stance of the brain was healthy No apo plectic clot. There was nothing in tho brain to shew intemperate habits. I then opened tho chest. The pcricardivm and heart were quite healthy. Ventlcle? and auricles were cjuite empty. There was no congestion, ossification, or fatty degenera tion. The lungs wero gorged with blood, but appeared otherwise normal. There was a flint smell of chloriform —the dead apply smell of that drug. I opened the abdomen; found a little food in the stomach, and a little fluid. Tho liver was rather large, but otherwise healthy. It was not " nutmegged." Intestines and kidneys were normal—no sign of Bright's disease. I should say that death resulted from coma, but I should say that tho lungs had closed their action before the heart I believe that the administration of the chloroform was sufficient to account for the coma, but that it would be sensibly modified by the prevention of free circulation by the ob struction in the brain.

By Mr Cotter : As a rule, chloroform is not administered without the presence of a aocond doctor. That is the rule, but it is not strictly kept. It is usual, also, to ex amine the heart and to make a few inquiries ns to tlio state of health. If nn apparently healthy person ap plied to bo placed under chloroform it would not be considered necessary to do more than examine the heart. I have used chloroform in similar cases to that of Mulliolland, but merely to the extent to render the patient barely insensible. In the cases where I administered the chloroform myself, I have always had a reli able porson present. Deceased was a club patient. Tho clubs refuse to pay the fee of n second doctor, and expect the doctor to perform the operation himself. The fault lies on tho clubs. Ido not consider it wise to risk life for the sake of a club.

By Dr. Stalker: The knowledge that a man is of intemperate habits would be sullicicnt in a life insurance office for him to be refused.

The jury, after a quarter of an hour de liberation, returned tho following verdict: — " That James Mulliolland, on the 21st day of March instant, being about to undergo a surgical operation, and with due precaution, being subjected to the vapour of chloro form, it so happened that by the poisonous action thereof tho said James Mulholland, through misadventure and misfortune, then and there instantly died. The following ryder was added : "The jury are of opinion that no medical practitioner should ad minister chloroform without a qualified as sistant being present." Dr. Stockwell: And no blamo attaching to the doctor in the presont case ? The Foreman: None. Dr. Stockwell: Well, perhaps the jury will add that to the rider. The Foreman (to the jury): Gentlemen, ire you all agreed. The jury signified their concurrence with the addendum which was then made. Dr. Stockwell then asked Dr. Philson had !io given chloroform without qualified assistance beside him. Had he done it thousands of times ? Dr. Philson : Most commonly. Not thousands of times, but in hundreds of instances. Tho proceedings thon terminated.

Clasa 11, nino Pears, desort—lst prizo, 2a Gd, J. B. Young. It is unnecessary to refer again to the arrangements at any length. There is certainly great room for improvement, but still it must bo confessed that Mr Black more deserves credit for doing so well with tho rather scant means placed at his com mand. Commoncing with grapes, we need only say that Mr E. Hesketh now, as on previous occasions, outruns all rivalry. Eia exhibits must bo seen in order to bo fully appreciated. A "Lady Finger" banana shewn by Mr Garnor, with clusters of un ripe fruit revealing themselves, adorns this part of tho show. Mr J. B. Young's gigantic sunflowcts, with a diameter of 14$ inches, attract great attention. There are no loss than 690 plates of apples, and although eomo of them aro very common place, the great majority are exhibits that would not discredit the best fruits f rowing district in the world. Mr . Mayo shews three immense apples, ono of them a Warner's King, being no less than 22ozs. in weight, while Mr Niccol, of Woodstock, displays a handsome now variety named the Komo Beauty. Pcasgoods Nonsuck, shewn by Mr Broiro, of PukeTcohe, is another fine apple. All these are outside tho competing classes. Mr Kerr, of Springfield, takes gent's special prizo with ?ome first-class Ohinemuri apples, and Mr Parr shews a nice collection of Cox's orango pippin, perhaps the best over exhibited horo. Mr F. Bennett has a hand some sample of Princo Bismarck. Mr Sharp's, Mr Parr's, and Mr Barriball's collection of apples aro very complete and extremely creditable to their skill and tasto as pomologists, Mr Parr is entitled to special mention f«r some pretty specimen of the bellini apple hanging thickly from a small branch. In the allcomers class, Mr R. Eeyburn's almonde, Mr B. Heskoth magnificenttomatoes, Messrs Parr, Reyburn, and J. B. Young's poars, and Messrs Parr and Sharp's plums aro sure to arrest atten tion and command praise. Among the amateurs, Messrs Roes, George, and Collins secure recognition for culinary and dessert apples respectively ; while among the cot tagers, Mr Eaton's apples and Mr Scarbro's quinces appear to great advantage. Mr Gubb, of Port Albert, has somo tempting poars, and Mr Hobbs, with his usual public spirit, exhibits delicious peaches, plums, poars, and pippins, but they are not for competition. Among the vego tables, Mr Carpenter's cabbages, Sir Rceves's marrows, Mr W. F. Buck land's carrots, Mr Palmer's rhubarb, Messrs F. Bonnott's, J. B. Young's, and W. Reay's potatoes, Mr Barnes's beet, Mr Houlton's collection of vegotab'es, and Mr Connold's onions are entitled to pronounced praise' for their excellence. In the Cot tagor Class Mr Burke and Mr Harrison figured to decided advantage for thoir col lection of vegetables; Mr Thos. Phillips sustains his repute with somo rhubard and pens; Mr Eaton and Mr Pratt claim notice for carrots and cabbages respec tively, and Mr Suiter comes to tho front with tomatoes, pumpkins, and potatoes. Amongst tho amateura Mr E. Hesketh as serts a titlo to recognition for well-grown beet, Mr F. Bennett for peas, and Mr Burke for giant onions. Mr Cliffe shews a novelty in the shape of a tea plant grown in the

Acclimatisation Society's Gardens, together 3 : with a jar of black tea produced by ft. TfSH will bear comparison with tho best of tho - marketable article. Messrs Yates and I Steadman, too, have each fine dis £« plays of seeds and plants. A general iH invitation was extended to the .ohil dren of the charitable institution-, which was taken advantage of by the ehil' *H dren of the city orphanages, who were re galed with fruit by Mr Beloo. Tho show H was well pattoniscd on Saturday afternoon and evening, and Impey's band enlivened the proceedings with a choice selection of I instrumental music. The apiarian appli. ances and tho bees were also made air interesting a feature as possible. Tho exhibition closed shortly before ten o'clock and the benches were soon cleared. ','

CORRESPONDENCE.

Art In Auckland.

(To tho Editor.) Sib,—l had hoped that good taste, good feeling, and some regard for the interests of art in our city, would have induced "A Well-Wisher to Art," having had his say 1 through your valuable paper, to let the ; correspondenceclo.se. He has not done so • and I think the main charge he brings I against the older Society of sufficient im portance to the public to justify me in ''"-' replying to his mis-statements. 1 may say that not being a member of ■? either .society, my freedom from animus ' is entire —a matter which tho bitter tone of ! his letters makes in his case very question- H able. I join issue with him at once on the question of prizes and medals being offered US to artists, proper or not, and I say that the M policy of the Society of Arts in refusing to \ do so is a wiso one, and a departure from it' § will injure the Society, their exhibition, and arouse dissatisfaction and bitterness among 9 the artist exhibitors. Nono but the success-• I ful would bow to the fiat of some three or" ■ four brother artists whom they most likely H consider themselves equal or superior to- I and true artists would scorn such a paltry * H recognition. Snobs alone would rejoice in ■ -■•'■, it. What artists desire is not medals or '! prizes, but tho appreciation of an educated > public, evinced by the purchase of their B works. Let tho Association " A Well- 11 Wisher" advocates pursuo an opposite -4 course, and from the paucity of artista- I of any mark among them, the prizes will 'i: be awarded in a ring—Mr Brown will get it "'•"'', first year, Mr Jones second, Mr Robinßon third ; then Mr Brown again, and so one. ' i: The statement that the new Society is the outcome of widespread dissatisfactions with' I the management of tho old is just bunkum, J Had a "Well-Wisher" said it was tho '? result of the dissatisfaction of one. or. two with the decision of the judges in the competition for the art certificates B and their discontent at not being considered ,■• " oracles," and their dictum infallible,, he '■ would be nearer the mark. Perhaps the" I originators of tho now departure were of opinion with Sancho Ranja—"That it is 'j. food to command, even though it be but a' 9 ock of sheep." The question of "Well- I Wisher" as to "amateur "being acorrup., ■'& tion of "immature," may be answered' j in tho negative, and the attempt 1 at wit is rather miserable and M his remarks upon "slavish imitation of the old masters " are too juvenile to bo worth reply. As to his onslaught upon the tablo tops, plaquet panels, etc., exhibited 1 by amateurs, I think the Society has been ; wise in the encouragement it has given. In the last exhibition the proportion of theso^ to tho works of artists was far less, the standard of merit higher, and I ' think that somo of these efforts, sneered at by "A Well-Wisher," would have commanded attention and admiration at any English exhibition. A faithful, artistic reproduction of the features of Maori life is doubtless to be desired, and attempts in that direction to be lauded; it may emanate from the Art Students.' Association, but from its present personnd it is to be doubted. As to paintings of New Zealand scenery, inland and coast, tho late exhibition was full of them. In' conclusion, I advise " A Weil-Wisher " to wait a little, and let us see what the new . association can do before blowing his penny trumpet so loudly, lest tho mountain in labour should bring forth a mouse.—l arn f - &c, Nemo. .

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tho Editor of Evtonro Star.) Dear Sir,—l wlßh to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's OiL Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from pcrsonßOf known respectability, and having satisfied my-v self of tho gonuinoness of th« cures effected, I* obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I havo suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in »\nle of tho most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to. hold ita own in my system. My sleep at last becan to bo affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me reliar, and 1 then applied nearly every advertised remedy. Thcs-iatica was principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at times was most, excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the groat-" 83t care and aticntion on my part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hope, I determined to apply SU Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. Sly sleep soon returned and each application afforded mo relief. At flrst I re garded tlio cessation from paii. us only a: temporary one, scarcely daring to hopo that the cure was complete; out I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now< free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried Iho Oil in abso lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or. four nights oroviously. and my system was very low. The buoccsb. however, is complete, and I .igain tender my grateful acknowledgments to Che propriotorHOf (.licOil.Hiid •jli.il) ov«r continue to rocommcnrl it to every suU'erer who comoa within range <>f my inlliirneo.
