There is another. part of the obemical evi dence which will no doubt be also of public interest, that I odd like to throw light upon. The stain or the findor was that of a pool very moderate dimisions, hat had been left to dry up of itself and not been wiped ap. mopped ap, or rabbed about Its not the stain of a liquid scattered and splashed from a breaking bustle, It bore no scratches such as ghee would make, though it was on a thick fayor of porous bleck kcal which blacked what tacted it and readily scraped off. It consisted of a damp oporated roside of arins which lind formed a very visible eating incrustation round the margins of the stain. It was examined by no more than tou weeks after it but hon made, and yet the urine wus till undoosyed and without odour. That this very readily patrosol floid should have been preserval in maha remarkable way we die, undoubtedly to the ntisoptly notion of the mantallic iron and the hisch land thickly coating it. The slain showed no signs of baring boon wat by a breen or rubbed with cloth whether wut or dry, while it was still freshly split. All that can be admitted from its pearance is that when dried cp as far as it did dry up, it might live hoon Fghtly dusted, and a Hr. Lowder testified it did might have once horns slight traces of having boon wiped. Mr. Thoms gave it as his opinion that spilled Fowler's solution wight be so soaked up with a cloth as to loavenons behind or; rather, not. ough to be capable of detection. He did not. exploòn, bów "uzira in the cloth would have
