Galranism, The sentence of the Court
having determined that the body of John


son should be given to the surgeons, the


opportunity was embraced 10 repeat some
Experiments which had been made in Eu-


rope, to ascertain the power of galvanism
upon the nerves and muscles after death.


A Votaic battery of greater force than is


any where else recorded, (sss pair Of


plates of inches) was accordingly pre-
pared by the Professor of Chemistry, in
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,


DR.. MNevin, who conducted that part of
the experiment while Drs Mott and Ste


vens performed the surgical part. The
body was brought to the College theatre,
about an hour and half after the execu-
Ition, (of which time it had hung three


quarters Of an hour) and before rigdity or


GOODNESS had ensued. The experiments


were Immediately commenced, and wer,
,leminently successful. All the results re-
corded by D. Ure of Glasgow, in the case o
1.-THE murdered Clydesdale, were produced
here, with the exception, owing to acci


dental circumstance, the action of respira
tion. The arms, legs and body, the mus
cles of the face and neck, were strongl,


excited and thro" into convulsive motto,
the heart also was made to contract


and nervous twitching of the mouth
which was remarked in the man while liv
ling, recurred OIL the application Of tn
, charged wire. We are promised detail
,, description Of the experiments, which viii
not fail to interest scientific men. as tn
!, manner and success of them rebound t
