4 TO THB EDITOR OF THB PRESS. Sm,— Concerning the verdict given by the jury at the inquest on the late Mr Gideon Withers in yours of December 12th, I beg to submit the following:— Can a man* be considered in a sound state of mind after having taken 2oz of laudanum? The reason for taking this laudanum I am of opinion that most medical practitioners, after hearing the evidence concerning the actions of the de ceased during the fifteen hours previous to his death. Will be able to give. In the future I hope that the names of those forming such a jury will also be published with that of the Foreman.*— Yours, «S.c., . "" .
