It... was proved by the medical authorities that cantharides (otherwise called Spanish fly), when admmistered in small quantities, is incapable of producing any effect, although twenty-four grains would kill a man. The prisoner had only given the prosecutrix one or two grains, and such a small quantity could not possibly have done her any harm. On these facts the prisoner was held entitled to his acquittal. " What is important to the present case, " said Cockbum, C. J. , " is that the cpiantity administered was incapable of producing any effect.
