Cn the 4th of August the second inquest was proceeding, and was then expected to last another fortnight, their being then nearly 20 witnesses to be examined. The evidence which has been taken so far showed that the deceased Mr. Bravo died from poison. Mrs. Bravo had confessed to an improper intimacy with a Dr. Gully before her marriage to deceased. Dv. Gully is aged G8 or 67. Bravo was acquainted by . his wife, before thei.? maniage, of-the circumstance referred to, and he made her take a solemn oath that she would never divulge the fact. Unpleasantness, which was aggravated by anonymous letters, however, arose, andin his fatal illness Bravo said, " I have taken poison for Dr Gully." Mrs. Bravo is a daughter «.-f Mr Robert Campbell, of Bu?cot Park, Berkshire, of which county he has been High Sheriff. It appeared in evidence, that one of Mrs. Bravo's servants said on the eve of her marriage with deceased that Mr. Bravo would not survive the marriage by four mouths, and, singularly enough, this prediction was fulfilled. The case has excited great sensation in England, and has attracted much notice in .New South Wales.
