A. Black cherry-water is said to have the same smell, but it is now out of use; I don’t suppose there is an apothecary in the island who has it, and therefore it could not be substituted by accident for the other vehicle.
Q. Will not bitter almonds have that smell?
A. Yes; and spirits flavoured with them are said to be poisonous to the human species.
Q. You ground your opinion upon the description of its smell by Lady Boughton?
A. Yes; we can ground our opinion upon nothing else but that and the subsequent effects.
Mr. John Hunter sworn; examined by Mr. Newnham.
Q. Have you heard the evidence that has been given by these gentlemen?
A. I have been present the whole time.
Q. Did you hear Lady Boughton’s evidence?
A. I heard the whole.
