The second case within my experience occurred on the 26th November last, the victim being a Chinese female 18 years of age, residing with her parente at 33 Temple Street, Yasmail Tals cave has not been dealt with in any of the Courts at present, the efforts of Inspector Witchell to sift the facts having unfortunately been frustrated by the members of the girl's family removing Into Chinese territory, Immediately after an investigation had been lastituted. The girl was found dead by the inspector at 3.45 p.m. It was alleged that she had bad a quarrel with. her parents the previous evening, and again at ro o'clock the following morning. At pm, the father returned and found the gut, his daughter, suffering from the effects of polson. According to his statement the girl confessed that she had taken the poison in question and pointed out the pot in which she had boiled the drug. The sudden disappearance of the family certainly does not support this allegallon For the present the case can only be regarded as a very mysterious
one.
I would tavite the attention of any Polico officer who may be present to the characters of the root discovered by Inspector Witchell in ibis case. The production of such an exhibit in of immense value to the analyst to that it farnishes a clue that may ansble him from the very outset to concentratë, his attention on the polson that was actually the cause of death. In *such lastances the Police may possibly be able to follow up the cine and trace the source of supply of the drug; but in the absence of restric tions on the sale of polions used for criminal purposes-the alkaloid morphine alone excepted I am nol-very sanguins as to their chance of success in this direction. Death rapidly follows the administration of this poison. There is no instance of a recovery on record. The victims in the 1884 case were dead when they were brought to the Civil Hospital:
The active principle of the root of Gelsemium Bugans has not as yet been fully investigated, It is, however, an alkaloid poisoning of such marked chemical and physiological characters that it can be detected with certainly in cases of poisoning.

The symptoms, as displayed by the Chinese, appear to vary but little. Soon after the administration of the drug the victim saffers from, dimness of sight, and staggers as he attempts walk, he chatters away in an unfatclligible manner, and laughingly graspa is perhaps, to the ordinary observer, the at imaginary objects. This latter most striking feature in datura potsonlog. The patient sits up in bed and picks at the bed clothes as though to catch some passing object, and will ampse himself by attempting to draw out Imaginary threads from the ends of bis fingers. If the case is a mild one, the patient will, if left alone, fall asleep, and after several hours' rest be practically well. In severe cases the pallent scis more like a maniac. He recolla with a shriek from anyone who comes near him, and offers the most violent resistance to medical treatment, In all cases the pupils are dilated, and mydriasis will remain far some time after the other symptoms have subsided. The eff:cle of datura are usually produced In about fifteen minutes after the administration of the poison, but the activity of the herb would have to be in a liquid form to act so rapidly as this.
"There is no record at the Hongkong Civil Hospital of a single case of daturs drugging terminating fatally

The experience of the last 12 years leads me to lalat-that the only motive for administration of datura is to produce stupefaction for the purpose of kidnapping and robbery generally.
FLH FOROXING.
Two instances of malicious fish-poisoning are -on-record; the first occurred in 1882, the second In 1887. The former case was fally investigated The inaceous plant furnishing the drag by Mr. McCallum. The substance used by the known by the Chinese in Hongkong and South Chinese for this purpose consists of the seeds of China as Nau yung fa le the Horn Apple, the Camellia oleifora, minus the cll It occurs in Datura alba of Nees.

This species differs from the Datura Stramonium of Europe in baving larger white flowers, brown seeds and a less thorny capsule, splitting irregolariy. The seeds of the latter are black.
For many years previous to the appointment of no acalyst to the Colonial Government in 1879 the plant Naw yung fa had been known to Police Ma,istrates in Hongkong as furnishing material in use by robberate drug their victims but, although frequently brought to notice in the Law Courts there is no evidence to warrant the umption that prior to 1882 it had been Ident- ified with the Datura Alda.
In the official medical records of Hongkong the first mention of Datura is made by Mr. McCal- lum in the analytical section of the Colonial Surgeon's annual report for 1882. Some years ago Mr. Mccallum, the then Government analyst, gave me some notes of the investigations made by him which led up to the discovery that solanaceous plant sad porsibly Datura alba was a common stupefylag agent amongst the Chinese to Hongkong. Hestates that during the years 1880-1882 cases of alleged drugging were frequently before the Courts, and nearly always connected with robbery; the victims being in most cates returned emigrants. An impression seems to have pervaded the minds of the Magistrates and the Police that the complainants were either drunk from alcohol or that the cases had simply been tramped up by some evil-disposed person for the sake of sevenge. In and old
or al --1883,Chinese female child was
brought ana evening to the Civil Hospital, by the Police, In a parcolised condition. The girl had been stolen, and was found by the Police in a junk about to leave the harbour. When roused, the child was most vicious, and the temper displayed by her polated to madness. The pupils of both eyes were widely dilsted. Left alone the child soon fell asleep, and next morning, beyond displaying great stupidity, was quite well. The pupils were stiil dlisted."
Mr. McCallum then proceeded to examine bundle of flowers reputed by the Chinese to be a stapelyfog drug, an extract of which acted as * powerful mydriaife, both when administered internally and when appiled locally to the eye, Some of the extract was given to a small monkey, and the effects produced by it were, similar to those observed in the case of the little girl. The flowers were submitted to the Director of the Botanic Gardens, and identified as those of Datura alba.
The following are the particulars of the casa was called upon to investigata in 1886. Oa the night of the 16th of September of that year some men were observed to put some CA' isai ping into a live fish tank in one of the city markets. The fish were killed almost immedi ately. The water was removed and thrown away and a fresh supply put into the tank. The only material avaliable for analysis was the dead fish. The Police Magistrate, Mp Wadehouse, referred two questions to me for consideration and report
1-Can the active principle of C'hà tant plug
be detected in the dead fish? 2-Are fish so destroyed fit for human com-
sumption?

In this enqulay I had the benefit of the assistance of Mr. Ford, the Superintendent of the Botanical Depas, and also of Mr. Lockhart, the Registrar General, who was good enough to obtain the opinion of the Chinese 5sh merchants as to the saitablity or otherwise as an article of diet of fah killed by this palsan.

After seeing this they were not so much astonished, on boarding her from the jetty, to find a large hole, about fifty feet from the stem on the port side, and about fifteen feet wide reaching perpendicularly from her upperworks down to within a few plates from her keel. The fore-hold was tall of water, and the cargo fa that part of the ship was completely submerged. The pontoon of the Ewa Jatty had been caught under the ship's guard and was damaged, while a large imprisoned between the hull of the Pekin and the shore.

The Pakin commenced to fill rapidly and Capt. Downie, with all his wils about him, beached her where we found her yesterday morning.
