Voted, That Dr. Gregerson (he being present) be requested to state his late experience upon the subject of the committee's inquiries. Dr. G. rose and gave a very interesting account in detail of the manner of his late conviction of the reality of some of the phenomena asserted by the advocates of Animal Magnetism. He says he began two or three evenings since, while entirely faithless upon this subject, to manipulate upon a gentleman happening to be with him, who was so far a sceptic as to have said shortly before that he wished

Dr. C. would try to magnetize him before his evening audience, and he would feign sleep until Dr. C. announced that he was in the magnetic condition, and then break out in laughter. Presently the subject appeared asleep. When he was shortly after awake again, he was accused by Dr. G. of doing to him as he had said he would to Dr. ColIyer - i.e., feigning sleep. But he (the subject) declared he had not been asleep. Yet when questioned, it appeared that he was utterly ignorant of a remarkable noise that had occurred in the meantime, as also of Dr. G.'s going to shut the door. Since this first time, Dr. G. thinks he has several times put him asleep most unequivocally, and elicited somnambulic phenomena. [The committee had the opportunity of witnessing this by Dr. Gregerson, in the lower room of the Temple, July 6th.]

Dr. Dana, the Secretary, being unwell, S. F. Plimpton was chosen Secretary, pro tem.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to magnetize a new subject. At 12 o'clock Dr. G. commences operating upon Mr. Stone, before mentioned, in whom gentlemen had expressed their confidence. At about twelve minutes past 12 o'clock he stands up, and Dr. C. continues his "willing" for a minute or two longer. Then Dr. G. ceasing and stepping aside, Mr. Stone is asked to state how he had felt, etc. But he stood as he was, mute and motionless, for more than half a minute, as though he heeded nothing that was said or done, and with his eyes still fixed as they had been. He is asked, "Can't you speak?" He soon faintly replies, "Yes, sir," but still continues with his eyes and body fixed as before, and in about ten seconds says, "I do feel very peculiarly indeed," still without having stirred eye or limb. In about one minute more he seemed more self-possessed, and began the following narration :"I had a sort of confused feeling, which I have not recovered from even "now. When I was put the question how I felt, I thought I would answer, "and tried to do so, but felt somehow not disposed for it.

I felt a peculiar "sensation in my whole body, in my arms and legs, and do so even now; and "when Dr. C. stepped off from me, leaving me to myself, I felt I could stand "there comfortable for a considerable length of time, and had to make a strong "effort to move. When you first asked me to speak, I felt you were waiting "for me all around, and yet I could not speak."

At thirty-two minutes past twelve, Rev. Mr. Jones begins to operate on Frederick, and at thirty-seven minutes past twelve he appears asleep. Mr. Jones asked him various questions, as to what he (Mr. J.) had on his head at the times the questions were put; and most of the answers were correct, and so with regard to several other things, Dr. C. being kept some distance off.

The Rev. Mr. Turnbull moved that the labours of the committee be now concluded, but after some discussion, the vote thereon was nearly unanimous against it. The committee adjourned to 3 o'clock p.m. of Tuesday next.

Tuesday, July 6th.

The committee met according to adjournment.

Dr. G. relates that Mr. Stone, Student of the Medical School to which Dr. Storer lectures, and in whom gentlemen had expressed their confidence, had told him that he (Mr. Stone) had magnetized one of his friends, Mr.------; and Dr. C. adds, that he himself, on introduction, has done the same - all of which Mr. Stone, being present, confirms.

While in default of a subject, and there was no other present business before the committee, considerable debate arose on the question of Dr. Gregerson, stating the experience he had had since the last meeting. It was voted that he be requested to state it. Dr. G. acknowledged he had had some new experience, but declined stating it because the vote was not unanimous. A few had voted in the negative, saying that the character of Dr. Gregerson was such as might give his statements more weight with this committee than they should have.

Mr.------, the friend before mentioned of Mr. Stone, is brought in, and submits to the operation, only on the condition expressed in the following vote, viz.:Voted, That the name of no new subject be mentioned out of this hall.

Voted, That the sub-committee, appointed June 29th, officiate during the experiment on Mr.------; and in the absence of Dr. Lane, Dr. Adams be substituted.
