THE DEAN CASE.
The report of the Dean Commission lias been laid on tbo table of tbcJN.S.W. House. The medical members of the Commission hold that the facts arc quite as compatible with the hypothesis that Mrs Dean, for reasons which they can only surmise, and by methods of which she alono has eignizanee, administered arsenic to herpelf, possibly to promptings of her mother, and without any intention to take a fatal dose, as that the poison was administered by her husband with intent to kill. The president adds a minority report, that in his opinion it is unreasonable to suppose that a gir! on the threshold of life would rifle hpr existence by taking a deadly poison for the purpose of bringing a false charge against her husband. On this ground he did not concur with the opinion of his colleagues.
