The medical evidence against the ptieoner was given by four pbysicians, 000 01 them a pro. lessor at Oxford, and they all agreed that the death of Sir Theodosius Boughton was caused by pion. To contradlob their evidence the prisoner called the celebrated surgeon and physiologist, John Hunter, who testified in substance that the symptoms were conaistent with thee of epilepsy or apoplexy. The charge of the Judge, Mr. Justice Buller, was extremely unfavorable to the defendant, who was convicted almost immediately, and was subsequently hanged. Sir James Stephen says that the conduce of the Judge and the verdict of the jury were warmly censured at the time, and. he ex. presses a doubt whether the prioner would have been convicted at the present day, because the medical evidence was not nearly so strong as it tnight have been. He seems inclined to think, however, that the verdict was right. The next ease is that of William Palmer, who was a physician practising at Rugeley and who was tried for murdering a sporting man mamed John Parsons Cook, with whom be was on intimate terms, and with whom he had been involved in money trans. actions which created a strong motive on his part for desiring the death of Cook. The poison used was supposed to have been anti- mony and strychnine, administered by Palmer to Cook at various times while they were in company. The first occasion was during the Shrewsbury races at the sitting room of the Raven Hotel, where Cook complained that some brandy and water which he had just been drinking. ROHNER 018 THROAT DREAM:MIX, and told another friend that he thought Palmer had dosed him. The principal medi- cal question in the oase was whether death was oaused by strychnine or traumatic tetanus. Lord Campbell presided at the trial, which lasted twelve days, and Sir James Stephen himself was present during the greater part of the proceedings. The trial, he says, "made an impression on my mind which the experience of twenty-six subsequent years, during which I have witnessed, studied, and taken part in many important eases, has rather strengthened •than weakened. It is impossible to give an adequate idea of the manner in which it exhibited in its very best and highest light the good side of English criminal procedure. No more horrible villion than Pahner ever stood in a dock. The yrejudice against him Wal so strong that it was considered news- sary to pees an act of Parliament to authorize Ole trial in London." If he had not been convicted and hanged for the murder of Cook be vvoulcl have been put upon trial for the murder of his wife and brother, and it W88 believed at the time (1856) that he had killed many other persons by poison.
