He did not know what the medicine was of his own knowledge, bub was told it was morphia, and he was repeating what someone had said aboub her danger, thab .she was being ill-treated and so on, when the Avitness was told thab hearsay evidence could not be received. The next witness, a Mr Samuel Platt, of Somerset House, and in the Civil Service, had considerable to say, bub ib was nob evidence. The mabter of sending the lady bo bhe asylum by her husband was again broughb up, when Justice Butt said thab such an act might be gross cruelty, yet it might be one of great kindness to her.
