We forbear an expression of opinion in the matter, and give the facts, as a matter of justice to all parties, concerned r.nd interested: THE STATIC OF SOUTH CAROLINA, In the Mutter nf (U>- /Mut* Hotly of jlftto J)- a .-."Cond time and third time, both by calling fii.'.d sIimk iug her; finding himself unanswered, his At tention was cabled to her peculiar breathing, which alarmed sp much thai he sought assist ance from his neighbor Mr. Albre.bt. Ilofbre going for Mr. Albrecht, took a light and no ticed a great languid appearance about the eyes, and coldness of the extremities, only per ceptible warmth about breast nnd head. Pulse was very weak. Deponent is husband of do "Coscd. She remained in the above condition unto the doctor came, recognizing no one. Tho'lhiuld prescription referred to above had been used by deponent several limes, and de ceased had taken some for about twelve days. Jin V.-S. Saj.i.ky>?Saw deceased at about half-past two o'clock on (lie morning of the 10th instant, Her breathing wan laborious, anil occasionally stertorous. Her extremities were cool. The action of tho heart was very feeble and irregular, occasionally there was complete suspension of tho action of the heart, and of respiration. Her face- was pale, and occasionally, during tho irregular action of the heart, livid. She was totally unconscious and entirely insensible to the application of the severest irritants. She continued in this situ ation until.s!ie died. Q.?From tho symptoms obsorved on being called to tho patient, would you ascribe them to any sickness, or the administering of any medicine, or otherwise '{ A.?That a patient who Was completely nar cotized by an overwhelming dose of opium, or any of its preparations, would be very much iu a condition of ono who had hud an attack oi apoplexy which was about to terminate fatally. Would not consider the deceased more liable to apoplexy than nine-tenths of women. Q.? If, when you saw deceased at half-past two o'clock, without any previous history of the ease to guide you iu an opinion, would you have said she had nn attack of .apoplexy, or taken an over dose of morphine'! A.?1 would have said that she had had an attack of apoplexy, or had taken some power ful narcotic poison. Q.?From information received of her case, what would you say had produced her symp toms ? A.?Guided by tho history of the case, I would give it as my decided opinion that she hud taken a poisonous dose of morphine. [The box with remainder of the pills said to have been used were produced, together with the prescription, (exhibit A.,) which deponent says were the same given him by Mr. Davis, the husband of the deceased, in the presence of .Mr. M.
