Dt (j. H. Huxtable, sworn, deposedHe made a post mortem examination. at • the body of the deceased, and found a rupture below the right groin, which had caused a tumour about six inches long to form. He then opened the abdomen, and found the intestines in a state of. mortification near the rupture.- They' were fS black in colour, gangrenous, and easily - torn. He attributed death to mortification of the bowels, caused by obstruction : in the intestines. He did not examine the heart, considering the state of the ;.
