1. That, on examination, the body of the late Mrs. Anderton presented in all respects the precise appearance which would be exhibited in a case of poisoning by antimony. 2. It was nevertheless possible to account for these appearances, as the result of chronic _gastritis_, or _gastro enteritis_, though in some respects not such as either of those diseases would be expected to present. 3. The strictest and most thorough examination entirely failed in showing the very slightest trace of either antimony or arsenic; either in the contents of the various organs, or in the tissues. 4. A portion of the medicine last taken by the deceased was also examined, but equally without result. 5. From the lengthened period over which the poisoning, if any, must have extended, and the small doses in which it must have been administered, it is scarcely possible but that, had such really been the case, some traces of it must have been found in the tissues, though not perhaps in the contents of the stomach, &c. 6. In a case of poisoning also, the symptoms would have recurred in their severest form within a short period of taking the food or medicine in which it had been administered. In this case, however, they appear to have uniformly shown themselves at a late period of the night, and several hours after either food or medicine had been taken. 7. It is therefore concluded that, notwithstanding the suspicious appearance of the body on dissection, death is to be attributed not to poison, but to an abnormal form of chronic _gastro enteritis_, for the peculiar symptoms of which the exceptional constitution of the deceased may in some degree account. 5.--_Statement of Police-Sergeant, Edward Reading._
