Purchas ; as neither came by S o'clock, Mr Wayland kindly went for Dr Ross. (Mrs Scott is a tenant of Mr Wayland). Dr Ross immediatly attended, found the woman not only in labour, but also suffering fism. intense burning pains, and vomiting severely. Dr Zinzan afterwards arrived, and some medicine was given to allay the irritation m the stomach. They then left her, intending to return, Avhen they thought it due time. On their return they found Dr Purchas in charge of the sufferer, ami in his skilful hands the case was left. About 11 o'clock, a child was brought forth still born. Mrs Scott lingered until 3 o'clock on Friday morning. A post mortem examination is said to have been made during the day, the result of which is alleged to have shewn that rupture caused death. The burial took place.at about 5 o'clock, but was not attended by many, as the public did not know of its faking place. Dr Purchas performed the last ceremonies over the grave. MRS WELLS' STATEMENT. I was engaged to attend to the deceased as midwife. If a doctor was required, I was to call for one. I was sent for between 11 and 12 o'clock on Tuesday night; know ing that she was delicate, and complaining for some time-past of an unnatural pain in the inside, T. was more than usually anxious. About 4 o'olock a.m., Wednesday, when labour pains began, I sent for Dr. Zinzan ; he said he could not attend until he had ; had two hours rest, and if any danger was seen, to send for Dr. Ross. " I did not do it, not knowing anything of Dr. Ross. I sent by Mr Webb for Dr Purchas between five and six o'clock in the morning, but the message was not delivered. Mrs Wayland telegraphed at eleven o'clock for Dr"Pur chas. In the meantime Dr Rossl arrived. He administered chloroform to her, which lie gave twice. At that time I expected the child would be born in a few minutes. After taking chloroform the pains left, and he gave her the forcing medicine. I insisted on Dr Zinzan coaling clown, and these two doctors talked together over Mrs Scott's state, and Dr Zin zan ordered medicine, which he gave to hex about 12 o'clock on Wednesday.
