Abstract

Case reports of historical vintage are of considerable interest in the medico-legal field. Thus, a previous such case was demonstrated personally concerning a seaman; although he was sentenced, postmortem examination instituted by a lawyer versed in Anatomy was salutary. Therefore, the present case is deemed worthy of extraction from the famous 1832 work of Hodgkin. Indeed, with reference to the postmortem examination, the suspicious appearances of the liver and spleen, which were observed, were led to rest as not being due to violence
