Shortly afterwards witness came downstairs and saw the deceased lying on the floor. He immediately went to Mr. Hendry, Surgeon, but Mr Hendry refused to come to his assistance as he said he had attended the man before, in a case of poison and he had not been paid for it. Mr. Lambert, Surgeon, was sent for who went immediately but the man was dead. Mr. Hodgson, who made a post mortem examination detected prussic acid in the stomach which was evidently the cause of death. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Hull Packet January 7th 1848
