Q. Whether you do not form your judgment upon the appearances?
A. Not altogether; they corroborate my opinion upon the effect of the draught.
Q. Did you or did you not know the contents of the draught Mr. Powell had prepared when you was examined before the coroner?
A. Yes; I did.
Q. And you knew from the account given you how long Sir Theodosius Boughton lived after he took that draught?
A. I took my information from Lady Boughton.
Q. Then whether many reasons have not occurred, subsequent to that time, considerably, to induce you to form your judgment that he died of arsenick?
A. Not subsequent to that time; at that time I did think he died of arsenick; but I am now clear that I was then mistaken.
Q. Why may you not be mistaken now?
A. I cannot conceive that in these circumstances any one can be mistaken as to the medicine; from the sensible qualities described by Lady Boughton, I believe it to be of that nature.
