what the quantity was afterwards?—It was a little more than half a pint originally.
And what was the quantity when mixed with the other water?—Nearly two quarts. The chamber vessel was clean when I came into the room.
What had occasioned any used water in it?—I threw some of the water into it, in which we had washed some part of the intestines.
What was then done with it?—As soon as we had finished the examination, I left it to Mr. Street's charge, who told me he would take care of the contents of the stomach.
You did not see them again till they were at your own house?—No, not till they were brought there in two bottles. I recollect putting this chamber utensil further under the bed, in order that it might not be disturbed, and desired that no one should touch it or go into the room, during our absence, Mr. Donnall still remaining.

Did you afterwards, and when, proceed to examine the contents of the two bottles?—It was two days before I had finished that examination.
How soon afterwards did you see it in the two bottles in your house?—On the same day that we examined the body.
