POISONING BY STRYCHNINE.-At an inquest held on the 30th ult. before Mr. Wakley, it appeared that the deceased had poisoned herself by taking about twelve grains of strychnine mixed with French chalk. It is stated in the Times report that there was nothing in the appearance of the body at the time to account for death-no rigor mortis, such as is believed to follow death by this poison, with the exception of muscular contraction in the fingers. The coroner is reported to have said, "that the case was an exceedingly important and extraordinary one. It was generally believed that poisoning by strychnine resulted in violent contortions of the hands, and convulsions; but here was a case that exploded the whole theory. The deceased, it appeared, was seen well at four o'clock in the afternoon; at a quarter to six she was found dead; but there were none of those convulsive actions about the body which usually were seen when death resulted from such a poison. On the contrary, she lay in an easy and recumbent position on the floor, the only thing peculiar being a slight convulsive action in the fingers. In poisoning by strychnine it had invariably occurred that the body was so rigid and contorted, and the back so bent, that the body could rest on the back of the head and the heels, but it was not the result in the present case. On the whole he considered the investigation one of the most important brought under his notice for some time past, and trusted it would be duly recorded in medical jurisprudence; for besides its important features in a medico-legal point of view, it was really useful to know that a person might die from the effects of strychnine, and yet no external trace be left, nor even the slightest injury result to the coats of the stomach, which was the means of immediate detection in other poisons."

MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN PARLIAMENT.-Alexander Dundas Ross Wisheart Baillie Cochrane, Esq., for the county of Lanark, in the room of William Lockhart, Esq., deceased.
