Mr. Wilmer says, that though from the appear- 160 JOHN DONELLAN, ESQ. ances of the body he is not able to form any opinion of the cause of the death, yet he is now clearly of opinion that sir Theodosius Boughton's death was occasioned by the draught administered by lady Boughton. He is asked about the epilepsy, and he says the heaving of the stomach is not a circum- stance attending epilepsies. Another circumstance to be attended to upon the evidence is, that when they came to Lawford Hall, nei...ther of them were told that there was the smallest suspicion that poison had been administered to sir Theodosius. If they had been, they both swear, in the strongest terms, that they would have opened the body at all events. Doctor Ash argues in opinion with them that sir Theodosius died in consequence of the draught; and he says that he can attribute the effects and symptoms which have been spoken of to nothing but poison; that the appearances, as mentioned upon the bodies of animals upon which this poison was used, were similar to those symptoms which appear when an animal is killed by vegetable poison.
