Shews of the Death

I believe you learnt that evening of his death Yes.

"You were not present at his death No, I was not present.

On that night had you a letter from Mrs. Carew?—Yes, I had a letter that night. I didn't _get it till Into as I happened to be out. I went round at 11 o'clock, She said: "Oh, Doctor, there is one thing I ought to have told you before. Walter suffered from stricture and he was in the habit of taking arsenic to relieve it." I simply said: "It is a pity you did not mention it before."

Did she say anything about ordering it or where it was ordered {—No.

Or of his asking her to send for it I think as near as I can recollect she said: him a bottle of Fowler's Solution of Arsenic A few days ago Walter asked me to get and a bottle of sugar of lead." She said, don't know where these things are: I can't find them."

Before that had you said anything to heri—"It is a pity. It would have simplified matters if you had told mo before."

Dia Mrs. Carew say anything then about the bottles?—She said, "I cannot find them. I have looked for them and cannot find them."

The Court then adjourned till 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
