The evidence for the prosecution was on Thursday , when the prisoner ' s declaration was read . In this she denied having seen L'Angelier on the Sunday night , but said she had made an appointment with him for Saturday , when he did not come . She had been in the habit of purchasing arsenic and using it in gashing as a cosmetic , which she had been recommended to do when at school near London . She did not suppose the servants knew of it . She had told the apothecaries she wanted it to kill rats . —Evidence was then received in confirmation of this .
William Harper Minnock , the gentleman who occupied the position of L ' Angelier ' s rival , was then examined . He said he had made proposals of marriage , to the prisoner last January , which she accepted on the 12 th of March . They fixed the marriage for the ISth of June . On Thursday , the 2 Gth of March , she was missing from her father ' s house , and witness , with her brother , traced her on the way to her father ' s country house , at Row , on the Clyde , and got her to return . In cross-examination , this witness said that Miss Smith was at the Opera with him on the 19 th of February , returning about eleven o ' clock . The reason she gave for her ( light on the 20 th of March was that her parents had discovered her conduct in a former love affair , and that she felt distressed on that account .

Thirty different kmds of clothing made bv his machinery were exhibited to the jury , till at length the court was as crowded with articles of dress as a readv-made clothier ' s . This excited muchmerrment , which rose to its height when Lord Campbell handed to the jurymen , for their inspection , a large reversible California * coat , and , looking intently on some iinelv worked linen fronts , inquired their price , together with the studs . Both machines were American inentions ; and the real defendants were Messrs . grow er , Baker , and Co ., machine makers of New York , who Lord Campbell observed , did not appear to advantage , q the proceedings .
