The commissioners kindly consented' waiving their dei

    THE ALLEGED POISONING INESSEX . ; ¦ . ' ¦ ' ' iVERDICT ; .

' of , the opuhty , was held on Monday week last , at the Nelson 'Head , Ramsey , - before William Codd , Esq , the ' coroner for the northern division of Essex . The first witness called was , ¦¦ , ; -.,-..

    Mr John Bird , surgeon . —On Thursday , the 2 ht of September last , 'I delivered to Professor Taylor , at his laboratory , at Guy ' s Hospital , the contents of the stomach of the deceased ; Nathaniel Button , They were contained in four jars and three bottles . ¦ Professor Taylor , of . Guy ' s Hospital ,-submitted a reporr , in which he stated that on Thursday , Sept . ] 21 it , he received , from th ? last witness the following ar . ioles for examination and analysis - ~ 1 . The , stomaoh '' ah 3 " tKe in' . eJtihes . 2 . The liver . 3 . A ' portion ef the skin taken from over the stomach . 4 . J 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 : — ' j 1 . ' That ' noarsbnic txisled in asy part of the body of the deceased ' sabmitted for analysis . 2 . That notwlthi etaniing this result , arsenic may have been present in ' the bod ; at the time of death , and this may ' , have disapJ peared after the . . lpnft ' perldd-of four , jear » ' boxi » l , by rea ^ aon of putrefactioH , leading to the entire destruction of tha tomaoh and intestines ' , and in conBcquenoa of wat « r having penetrated t » the interior of the coffin . 3 , Ad J mlttlng that arsenic was really present in the body at the time of death , its : entire absence afier four years' intermynt eoiily . admltB of explanation under , the jpxlal clr . cumstahces of this case .. The principal product ofpu . trefactlon after lotig periods is ammonia ( bartshorn ); This readily dleaolyea arsenic in all its iqrcai , i > n & if

    water be present , thearSenioreay be thus entirely drained away and lost . i . In those cases in which i arsenic' has been discovered in , fco < He » after , Jopg interment , the atomack has either been preserved by the « ff # ot of the pataon , m it has become dried by \ the withering up ( mum . mlBea ' tlou ) of the body in a very dry gr & re , The arse nio baa thus become fixed in a solid atato in the remains . ¦ '¦ It may then be easily detected . In the present cuie none of these conditions existed . 5 . A . person may di « from the effects of , arsenic and yet no portion of the poison bo found In tbe . ' stomach and bowels , although esnmfaed sb » a after death . This Is liable to happen when the dose has not been largo ( although scfflolent to

    kill ) ond when the vomiting and purging have been very violent . - In this way all the poison except that which has been absorbed may be thrown off . . 6 The entire absence of arsenic from , the lirer . does not prove that this organ may not have contained some at ' the time of death . The quantity which is deposited la thellyer by absorption la at all times small , and the etste of putrefaction in which this ergon was found after four years' burial would account tor its entire loss . ' 7 . That , from the chemical examination of th « viscera , there is nothing to show that death . wa ' e . cause . JI by poison ,, and the entire destruction of ttio yismra by putrefaction renders it im . possible to say whether there was' infl \ himatisn or any other disease to account for the death of the deceased .

    The Coroner then requested Professor Taylor togive his opinion as to the cause of death , which he did in the following terms w- ¦ The only disease with which the deceased , Button , is atated to have been affected was 'an irreducible scrotal hernia ; . but this would not account forhis death , as the violent purging under which he suffered proves that the intestine was not strangulated ; and without this , aa irredneibl ' e hernia w 6 uld ; riot prove fatal . The very sudden a ' . tack of Illness which this man suffvred while in a state of health , the violent vomiting and purging , the great . thirst , the violent pains in his body , taken together wlthtbo fpot that he < Jied in fprty . fourhoura after , bis first aclzare , are ciroumatanceB ell in , tbe ! highest degree presumptive of death from arseriib , Dizsiness from

    which the man also suffered , Is not a common symptom ef arsenical poisoning . It is to be observed , ' however , ' that what i will produce the feellp ( g ' Of sickness ' ¦ may pro ; duco dizslness . i : The , only . eirenmitanees from which I oan / orm an ^ plnjon of the causa of death in this roysteri . ouu case j a ' r ' p contained Jn the , f qiiow ^ ng eitracta . from yoar letter of the I 7 tb ? September . ' 'On . life morning he was'taken , '' he left home about sis o ' clock as hsualto go to his work . Ho walked withsnother man ' to the barn , and whilst geing along complained of feeling dizzy and sick . Ho proceeled to thrash some tares , and whilst at work eomplained of feeling , sick and thirsty . He had some bread and phecso . for his breakfast about half-past eight o ' clock , and again went to work , ' ' still complaining as before . Between ten and eleven o'clock' he became

    > iick , and after being sick two . or three times' he want home , from that time he continued very sick , com . plained of great pains in his body , of great thirst , and was . also , violently purged , Tiese symptoms continued up to the time of his death , which took place pa Mob . day , September 80 th , 1844 . He was taken ill en the morning ef Saturday , Sept . 28 . ' It does not appear from this statement of facta whether deceased took anything ontbe morning of the 28 th September , before he left his homo , If it can be proved that he , did take sometbing at or about this time , and , before ; his , regular breakfast , then there is some ground to suppose that arsenic might'have been . taken or administered . If , however , this cannot bo proved , it is impossible to infer from the

    symptoms only , in . the entire absence of any pott ' mortem appearances , and of any ehemioal evidence of the presence of this poison , in the matters which he threw off as well as in the body after death , that they were caused by arsenic . Every medical man would be compelled U admit , in the absence of these most essential corroborative proofs , that tbe symptoms andjdeath might have been daotoB sudden attack of English cholera in a savere form . The proofs ef death from arsenic must rest medicall y speaking , ugon three series of facts : —1 . Symptoms . 2 . Appearances in the stomach and bowelf 8 . Chemical detection of the poison in the viscera 0 * 1 these three sources of medical proof , symptoms are the most fallacious ; they cannot be trusted to as furnishing

    certain and anequivbeal erldsnoe of death from arsenic . Death from this polion has been frequently mistaken for cholera ; and death from cholera has frequently been mistaken for death from arsenic , ' where medical men had nothing but symptoms to guide them'tn forming an opinion . ; { ffow . rta ( Debase « f Baftbn , w |[> arenorh % bu * symptoms ( described by non . proft « ilonal witnesses ) for oar guidance , and among these , ' to r « r as the description goes , there is not one to indicate , in aa especial and peculiar manner , that tt was occasioned by arsenic and not by cholera . There Is another part of this case which re . quires the most careful consideration . It appeari that the deceased complained of being alok some houri before he realty vomited . 1 have never yet known arsenic gives in a dose sufficient to destroy life . in forty . fonr hours

    produce a feeling of sickness withoat being followed by actual vamiting ... Interne . oBieSjhowever , the action of he poison on the stomach is suspended far seme hears , as where , 'for instance , the arsealo has been swallowed after * full mesl . Prom the , description of the facts it appsars that the deceased did sot actually begin to vomit luntil eleven o ' clock is the morning no lest than five hours after the poison , if there bad been any , must have been swallowed . B : fure vomiting , one of the earliest jsymptomi , of arsenical poisoning ! : actually took place . Deceased , was . sick two , or , three , times , and , purging does sot appear te have ceajrnenced . until , some time later . Now I dp not mean to assert that , notwithstanding these inferences , ' the death of this man might not

    have been occasioned by arsenic , because this poison affects persons differently , and sometimes acts in a most anomalous manner . StU ) , in determining the caaae of death in a case in which everything has twea proved , we caa only apply rules derived from previous eipnience to aid our judgment . If we were to decide nnknownoases , not by comparlsg them with ordinary rules , but with extraordinary exceptions , most serious mistakes would be made , and the most innocent persons might bo exposed to an erreneous conviction . - The , case of the deceased , on the assumption that bis death was caused by arsenic presents this remarkable peculiarity , which , so far as my experience goes , has never' before occurred in a case of arsenical poisoning where the dose was sufMent to

    occasion death in forty four hours . The poison mustbave begun to act upon - an empty stomach within the usaal period , indicated by dizziness and feeling of sickness ; The symptoms began , but did not go on , Admitting the facts , as stated in evidence , they were to opposed to tbe usual and ordinary effects of arsenic , that no medical man acquainted with the subject of poisoning could aaf'ly swear that the death of the deceased wat caused by that poison .. , TJalessithe evidence , upon which I havcbaied these oonoluiloas be untrue , or anlesa the facts transpire to show that arsenic had been really taken , by the de . ceaied' before sir o ' clock in the morning of the 28 th of September , 1844 , no other medical conclusion could be arrived at than that he might have died from an attack of Bnglith cholera , : .-.. - i > ¦ ¦ . »

    A juryman' said , it appeared to him and his brother jurcrs , that the 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 ^ ost from putrefaction by long interment . They did not , therefore , feel justified' in coming to the csnolusion that the deceased bad died a natural death . They would like'to return a verdict which would-leave the case open , in the event of the 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'necessary , in the event of going before another jury , to prove the cause of death , which had not been done at . present ,, ; for elaborate as Professor Taylor ' s report was , it . did not prove the cause of death ; he could not therefore advise them to adop ' t ' Professor Taylor ' s " 'report . He was ready j if thb' jury thought proper , tb go'forther into the case , but he Candidly confessed that at present he thought it : would be useless . .. ± j # ; ,, , „ : Several persons , expressed their entire concurrence with ^ heso views . " ' . ]'' '¦ ....

    , After some conversation the room was cleared , and the'jury , after ' about'half an hour ' s deliberation , returned the following Verdict : — ' That the deceased Nathaniel Button ; on the 28 th day of September , in theyearof : OUp Lord , 184 ^ 1 , was taken ill with a . violent retching and diarrheaVDf which he , shortly afterwards died , but how such retching and diarrhoea , were produced there is no evidence before the jury to show . ' ' . ''¦ ' ¦ : " '' ' ¦ '¦*'' The coroner then took occasion to observe upon other oases of su ° pected poisonings , and said that as

    some misapprehensions had arisen , it would perhaps be necessary for him tosayafew words on the subject . He had taken great pains te make himself ac quaintedwith the cases which had been brought under his notice . The conclusion at which be had arrived was , that'at present there was not sufficient evidence , to justify him in going at once into these oases . He certainly , thought , that there , was strong ground for believing that many of the children had been unfairly dealt with , but up to the J resent time no direct or positive ' case'had been reported to him .

Fatal Railway Acoidbht .--Thrkb Lives Lost — On Saturday ; morning the whole of the Rbther Viaoiiot , now in course of consfriiction on the Manchester , Sheffield , an'd : Lincolnshire Railway , about six miles east of Sheffield , '' and which runs across the * y * Rolher ; and the contiguoua valley at Beighton , fell down with a tremendous crash , . burying four of the . workmen , only one of whom " has escaped with his life , This viaduct is designed to consist of thirty-aix arches , twenty of which had been ' com . pleted ' at the time when the accident occurred . They were all semi-arches , each of thirty ; feet span , and of an . average height of twenty feet from the surface to the ; spring . The . height from the snrinff

    to the cr , own ; averaged fifteen feet . The work was entirely of brick . The contractor of this portion of the undertaking is Mr Carlisle , ' under "Messrs Miller , Blackie , and Shortridg ' e , the-contraotoraof the works from Sheffield to Beighton . ! ' Under the superintendence of Mr Oarlisle , tho erection ot the viaduot proceededsatiBfaotor . i ] y _ , to . the completion of the twentieth arch , and from most of the arches the centres ' or aupporte had been withdrawn . The centre of the nineteenth was eased a few days ago , and no danger was apprehended until lately , when in consequence of the heavy rain ? which have recently fallen in the neighbourhood , and by which the valley is inundated , Mr Carlisle on Friday gave orders to his workmen to shore up the nineteenth arch with a view to its better protection . Seven or eight men were employed upon this work the remainder of the day , and they resumed their operations on Saturday . A few minutes before ten o ' clock on that morning ,

    wbile tbey were tbus engaged , the nineteenth arch fell in , without a rroment ' a notice , and was immediately followed by the 13 , or ; U adjoining ' arches . Shortly after , tbe remainder of ; the , viaduct fell / in ; thus completing the ; destruotion of this extensive werk .,. Four of the workmen' were completely .

    he . was extricated ; but he died within a a very abort -i period . The fourth man had his arm broken , and sustained otber severe injuries , but a fatal result in ' his } case not anticipated . The four men were removed promptly to the Railway Inn , at Beighton , where the deceased remain awaiting the coroner ' s i inquest . . The names of ( be men who were killed are i Henry Wightman , .

    feet , made a minute examination of the foundation of the piers . He found that they had been gradually sinking in some parts to the extent of Ui inches , owing partly , it it ' supposed , to some soft under strata below the clay in which they are built . The sinking was chiefly observable in the piers of the nineteenth arch . and . hence the directions to hard that arch shored tip . : That the workmanship of tha arches was good is proved , not only by the fact of the piers remaining erect ; but that to some of them a portion of the arch , to the extent of nine feet , remained adhering . The place , presents a desolate appearance , part of the ruins ; being covered by . the flood , the extent of which' may be imagined from the fact that the water h « s risen to a

    height of fifteen feet above the bed of the river , A . 4 person - who was at a short distance when the accident occurred , described tbe falling of the first arch as resembliag the report of firearms , The , others fell ip one by one , in . quick . but distinct suo , cession , causing great alarm in the neighbourhood !

    Sudden aad Melancholy Dsath of Major Jiuia Wemyss ( latb of thr Scots Grkts ) . —Dcbham . — Early on Sunday morning last , a report , which proved too true , reached here to the effect that Major Wemyss , who was appointed to' the command of the Durham rural polioe . at its first establishment iu this county , nine years ago , had been found insensible in a field : near Langley , about two miles from this city , and only survived his being brought home a few minutes . On Monday night an inquest was held on ' . the Body , before T . 0 . Maynard , Esq ., coroner , and after several witnesses had depoieu . the finding the body , Mr William Green , surgeon , Durham , said : I was sent for yesterday morning about eight o ' clock , to go te Majer Wemyss . I took

    the major's servant , and the man that was with him out with me in a fly to a field near Langley Bridge , through which the road to Brandon passes . I found many people standing over Major Wemyss , who was lying on his back . I examined him , and found him very cold and almost pulseless , and breathing with very considerable difficulty . He appeared to me to be in a dying state . I could not detect the smell of wine or spirit , or indeed any other smell . I had him put into the carriage , and accompanied him to his house in the North Bailey . Nothing had been done before we got him home . I had him stripped and put to bed , and hot bottles applied to all parts of his body to restore warmth . I tried to give him a teaspoonful of hot brandy and water , bat he never swallowed it . He got a little warmer , and lived about ten minutes after he . got into bed ; and then he breathed his last without a struggle or a moan . I

    have this evening had a post mortem examination of the body . After stating the general appearance of J £ e body ,,: Mr Green continued : It is my opinion that he had died from natural causes . There ate sufficient appearances in the brain to account for deatii without any extraneous causes . Nothing hfl could have taken upon his stomach could have produced the appearances on tho brain . I think he had been prostrated by a sudden attack , which might have been accelerated by the heat of the previous ex * posute . Tbe subsequent exposure to the cold would not accelerate death . The Coroner was about to sum up , but was interrupted by the Jury , who said , after the dear evidence of Mr Green , there ceuld be no doubt as to the cause of death , and it was unnecessary to trouble the coroner for any remarks . ; i hey were unanimously of opinion that cfeath had arisen from natural causes . The Coroner recorded the verdict accordingly .
