certain and anequivocal evidence of death from ars . nlo . Death from this potion hai been frequently mistaken for cholera , and death from cholera has frequen tly been mistaken for death from arsenic , where medloal m en had nothing bat symptoms to guide them in'forming an opinion . Now , In tbeease ef Button we havenothiog bat symptoms ( desorlb . dby non . professlonal witnesses ) for our goldanoe , and among these , so far as the description goes , there ia not one to indloate , in an espeoial -and p « . culls * manaer , that tt was oooasloned by arsenloand not by cholera . There is another part of this oaie which requires the most careful consideration . It appears that the deceased complained of being Blok some hours before he reallj vomited ; I have never yet known arsenic given In a dose sufficient . to destroy life in forty-four hours produce a feeling of sickness without b-ing followed by actual vomiting ; - In tome cases , hoivevw ,- the action of he poison on the stomach Is suspended far seme hour * , aswbere , for instance , the arsenic has been swallowed after a full meal . From the description of the facts it
appsars that the deceased did not actually begin to romit until eleven o ' olook la the morning no less than fire hours after the poison , if there bad . been any , must have been swallow-d . B fore vomiting , one of the earliest symptoms of arsenical pollening , aotually took plaoe . Deceased was sick two or three tlmet , and purging does not appear to have commenced until somotlme later . ' Now I do sot mean to assert that , notwithstanding tnese inferences the death of this man might cot have been occasioned by arsenlo , became this poison aff . ots persons differently , and sometimes acts in a most anomalous manner . StlH , in determining the cauio of death in a case In whioh everything has been proved , we oanonly apply rules derived from previous ezp « rl « nceto aid our judgment , If we were t > decide unknown cases , not by comparing them with ordinary rules , but with extraordinary exceptions , most serious mistakes would be made , and the most innooont persons might be exposed to an erroneous conviction . The ease of the deceased .
on the assumption that his death was caused by arsenio presents this remarkable peculiarity , which , so far as my experience goes , has never before occurred in a oase of wienlca ! poisoEiog where the dose w « t anfflolent to ' occasion death in forty-four hours . The poison must have begun to act upon « n empty stomach within the usual period , indioatedbydizziness and feeling of sickness . The symptoms' began ,, but did not go on . Admitting the facts , as stated in evidence , they were so opposed to the usual and ordinary effaots of arsenlo , that no medical man acquainted with the eubjsct of poisoning could saMy swear that ttiedeath of rhe deceased was caused by that poison .- Ualess the evidence upon which I have baaed these conclusion be untrue , or unless the facto transpire to show that ars » oio had baen really taken by the de . csase'd before six o ' clock In the morning of the 28 th of September , 1811 , no other medical oonotnilnB could b « arrived at than that he might have died from an attack of English cholera .
Mrs Mary Amei was recalled , but nothing of importance was elicited . .. > Eliza Sparrow deposed aa follows :-I knew d » - ceased for some , years before his death ; he always appeared a healthy man . ' I was oallqd in by the last witness to nurse him , on the Sunday before he died ; I found him in bed , in a very - bad state ; he waaallover sick , and purged very much . He told me he was sick oa Saturday morning , directly after breakfast , and that he thought he should never have reached home . I attended him until he died , on the Monday morning , about a quarter before eight o ' clock . He complained of pains in his body and tamt all night . On the Sunday afternoon previous to his death deceased became mnoh worse , he told
his wife that he freely ; forgave her all she had dona . Mrs Button . then went down stairs , and did not go Befjrhjm until just before he died , and then I called her up-atairs because I saw a great change in him . —' Tile Coroner : Did ' deceased ever express a fear of being poisoned ? He told me several timesthat he never , would drink out of anything his wife gava him as he was afraid she wpuld poison bim . —Coroner : H « vo you ever had any coaversatioh with Mts Button on the subject of Button ' s death ? Witness : I had a conversation with Mrs Button sometime Bince . I aeked her if ' she had heard that they were going to take her husband up I She said she had , at the same ¦ time remarking ' We ) l , if they find any poison in him I did not give it him . '—Examination
continued : A few minutes before deceased died , I went down Btura to call Mrs Button , and found a maa named Robert Peck in the sleeping-room , with Mrs Button sitting upen his koee . Deceased was jealous of Robert Peck , who was frequently with Mrs Button . Mrs Button was in the family .. way , and deceased said it was by another , man . When I told Mra Button that I thought deceased would die' she said 'Oh , no , I have - Been him as bad before , ' to Which I replied , No , you never have . ' Deceased was only sick onoe after , I vent to him . Mrs Button never waited . open him while I was there . I never heard deceased threaten to . destroy himself . . Robert Feck , the man Button was jealous of , has Bince died .
A juryman said , it appeared to him and his brother jurors , that tha cause of death was by no means satisfactory . By . Professor Taylor ' s repert , it was perfectly clear that arsenic might have been at one time in the body , but lost from putrefaction by long interment . They did not , therefore , feel justified in coming to the csnoluiion that the deceased bad died a natural death . They would like to return averdiet which would leave the caB 3 open , in the event of tho : coroner being able to obtain any further evidence . ¦
The Coroner said , although no poison had been discovered ,, it was possible ( he did not say it was probable ) that death had been caused by that means . But as it would be neceBsary , in the event . of going before another jury ,. to prove the cause oi death , which had not been done at preeent , ; for elaborate as Professor Taylor ' s report was ,, it did not prove the cause of death ; he could not therefore advise them to adopt Professor Tayldr ' s report . Ha was ready , if the jury thought proper , to so further into the case , but he candidly confessed , that at . present he thought it would be useless .
Several persons expressed their entire concurrence with these views . . , After some ooavereation the room was cleared , and the jury , after about half ah hour ' s deliberation , returned the following verdict : — 'That the deceased Nathaniel Button , on the 28 th day of September , in the year of our Lord , 1844 , was taken ill with a violent retching and diarrban ,, of whiot he shortly atterwardidied , but how such retelling and diarrbcei , were produced there i » no evidence before the jury to show . ' ' - ..
, The coroner then took , occasion to observe upon other cases of BU ' pected poisonings , and said that as some misapprehensions had arisen , it would perhapB be necessary , for bim to say . a few words on the subject . He had taken great pains te make himself acquainted with the oases' which had been brought under his notice . The conclusion at whioh bo had arrived was , that at present there was not sufficient evidence to justify . him in going at once into theee caBes . He certainly thought that there was strong ground for believing that , many of the children had been unfairly dealt with , but up to the present time no direct or positive case had been reported to him .
Stabbikg . —A Mother Stabbhd bt . hk&Son —At the Borough Court , Manchester , a young carpenter named Edward' Cbrbett was brought befere the magistrates charged with stabbing his mother , Sarah Corbett , and a joiner named William Plumb . The offence was committed on Sunday , the 19 th ult . The prisoner ' s toother lived in : adultery with Plumb , according-to the statement itnade in court , and some of the prhonor ' aBhopmatea haying taunted him with the matter , he went to Nicholas-street , where they lived , in a Btate of drunkenness late at night , and knocked at the door . Ihe mother came down and let him in , when he took out a knife and . stabbed her repeatedly about the arias and upper part of the body . Ha then ruahed up ^ stairi and stabbed Plumb in a similar manner . Both his mother and Plumb
were removed to the Royal Infirmary , and were so seriously injured that they could not appear against him at the trial : ' the mother , indeed , ia not likely to recover , and under that impro » eton her depositions have been privately taken by a magistrate At the Iqfirmary .

while they were thus engaged , the nineteenth arch fell m , without a aoment ' s notice , and was immediately followed by the 13 or 11 , adjoining , arches .

iTHE ALLEGED POISONING IN ESSEX . VERDICT ., Ramsey . —The adjourned investigation into the mysterious circumstances attendant upon . the death of Nathaniel Button , whose body waa recently exhumed in consequence of the nports whioh had been circulated with reference to the system of poisoning which haB prevailed , in this part of the county , was held on Monday week last , at the Nelson Head , Ramsey , before William Codd , ' Es q , the coroner for the northern divition of Essex . The first witness called was , ' ¦ Mr John Bird , surgeon . —On Thursday , the . 21 st of September last , I delivered to Professor Taylor , at his laboratory , at Guy ' s Hospital , the contents of the stomach of the deceaaad , Nathaniel Button . They were contained in four jars and three bottles .
Professor Taylor , ot Guy ' s Hospital , submUteda report , in whioh he stated , that on Thursday , Sept . 21 it , he received from tha . last witnesB the following ar . iolea for examination and analysis ' — 1 . Toe stimaoh and the in ' e ; tinea . 2 : The liver . 3 . A portion , ef the skin taken from over theitomach . 4 . Earth taken from the grave . 5 . Liquid taken from the , region of the liver . 6 . Liquid from the , grave and coffin . Having minutely examined , analysed , and tested these articles , the professor drew up the following ' conclusions : —' ¦
1 . That no arsenic exisled In any part of the body of thetfeceased submitted for analysis . 2 . That notwithatanding this reiult , araenlo may have been present in tbebody at the limo of death , and this may have diiap . peared after the long period of four years' burial , by reason of putrefaction , leading to the eatlre icBtruclion of the stomach and intestines , and In cqn . se quenoe of water having penetrated te the interior of the coffin . 3 . Admitting that amnic was really present In the body at the time of death , hi entire absence cfier four years' interment easily ndmita of explanation under the special circumitinces of this case . The principal product of putrefaction after long petiods 1 b ammonia' ( hartshorn ) . This readily dissolve ! argenta in' all it « forms , und if water be present , the arsenlomay be thus entirely drained
away and lost , ¦ I , In those oases is which arsenic has been dlsoevered in kodloo after , long inteimtnt , the stomach has either been preserved by the cff . ot of the .. pol . son , or It has become dried by . the withering up ( mum . mifioatlon ) of the body in a Very dry grave . . The arse * nio bag thus become fixed tan solid itata In the remains . ; It may then be easily detected . ¦ In the present case none of these oonditlons existed ., 5 , A person may die from the effects of arsenlo , and jet no portion of the potionij be found in tbe . ' itomach and bowels , although examined iota after deatn . This is ' liable to happen whe ' n ' ttie ' dose has not been largo ( although sufficient to kill ) and when the vomiting and purging have been very
violent . In ' this way all the poison except that whioh has baen absorbed may be thrown off . 6 .. The entire absence of arsenic from the liter docs not prove that this organ may not have contained some at the time of death . The quantity whioh is deposited la the liver by absorption is at all times tnull , and the state of putrefaction in which this ergan was found after four years' burial would aooount for its eatire losS 7 . That , from » he chemical esumination of the viscera ,, there Is nothing to » bow that death wa * cauteiby poison ,, and tbe entire dsBtrnotlon of tho viscera by putrefaatlon renders It Im . possible to say whether there was itfl immatliin or anj other disease to account for the death of the deceased .
The Coroner then requested Professor Taylor to give his opinion as to the cause of death , whioh he did in the . following terms : — ¦ The only •' aUtase with which tbo deceased , Button ^ is statod to have bees affected wai an irreduolble sototal hernia ; but this would not account for his death , as the violent purging under whleh he suffered proves that the intestine , was not strangulated ; and without this , as Irreflbolbl © hernia would not prove fatal . The very sudden attack of illness which this man suffered while in a state of health , the' violent vomiting' and' purging , the great thirst , the viohnt pains in his tody . taken togetbci with the fact that he died in forty four hours after his first sefzare , are circumstances all in the" highest degree presumptive of death . from arsenlo . Dlrtineis from
which the man also suffered , Is ' not a common symptom of arsenloal poisoning . It is to be' observed , ' however , that what wlllprsdtice the feellog of sickness may pro . duce dJxiIness . The only circumstances from wblob . I can form an opinion of the cause of death in this mysteri bus case are contained in tha followlog . extracts from yoar letter of the 17 th September . Oa the morning he was taken , be Uft home about six o ' clock as usual to rfo to his work . lie walked ' with anotherman tothe barn , and V 7 hilat going along'comitl » ined of feeling dizzy and sick . He prooteied to ( brash some tares , and whilst at work eomplelned of feeling sick and thtrifey . He had tome bread and cheese for his breakfast about half past eight o ' clock , and again went to work , still complaining as before . B ; twe ' cn ten and eltven o'clock , 'fee became 1
lick , and after being sicktwo or three times be went home . From that time he continued very sick , « omplained of great paina In hit body , of great thirst , and was also violently purged . Tkete ejmproms continued up to the time of his death , which took place on Monday , September 30 th , 1811 . He was taken ill en the moraiog of ' Saturday , Sept . 28 . ' It docs not appear from this statement if faeis waeihtr d ceased took atythlng on thp morning of the 28 th September , before he left bis home . If it can be proved that ho did take something at or about this time , and before hiB regular breakfast , then there Is teme ground to suppose that arsenic might havebeentakeni or administered . If , however , this cannot bo proved , it is impossible'to infer from the
symptoms only , in the entire absence of any post mortem appearanoes , and of any chemioal evidence of the presence of this poison , ia the matters which he threw off as well ai la the body of : er death , that they w « re caused by amnio , Every medical man wbald be compelled te admit , in the absecco of these most essential corroborative proofs , that tba symptoms aodjdeath might have betn due to a sudden uttack of fSiiglisb , obolera in a Bevcre form , The proofs ef death irom arasnic muu rest medically speaking , upen three aeries' of facts : —l ' . Symptotns . 2 . Appearances in the sJomioh and bowel * . 3 . Chemioal detection of the poison in the viscera . 01 these three sources of meslotl proof , symptoms are the moBtfaUaclotts ; they cannot be < iu 8 t ! HltOMfurnjsijing
