Robert Sawle Donnall was notorious for being charged for murdering his mother in law. The trial of Robert Sawle Donnall, surgeon and apothecary, late of Falmouth, in the county of Cornwall, for the wilful murder, by poison, of Mrs Elizabeth Downing, widow, his mother-in-law, at the Assize at Launceston, on Monday, March 31, 1817, before the Honorable Sir Charles Abbott, Knt. one of the justices of His Majesty's Court of King's Bench. The defendant was charged with murdering his sixty-year old widowed mother-in-law by giving her arsenic mixed in some cocoa, as a result of which she died a day or so later. The trial relied on not only the evidence of a post-mortem autopsy but also much on the circumstantial evidence of the tea-room itself and the other family members then present. Robert Donnall was eventually acquitted.
