THE TRIAL OF MULLER. 1 clear that his evidence was of the most unsatisfactory character. Ms descriptions of the hat were loose in the extreme, and he only remembered it because it was turned up at the side by his direction. But he had told • dd• feuent tale now, and had said that be recognised the bat in coesequesce of Muller having lifted it ea constantly by one aide. Matthews mid he was certain that the kat found in the railway carriage was Muller's, but he admitted that be bad left his own hat at the batter's whoa he bought another, and that the hat of Matthews might have got into the possession of some other person who actually committed the murder. The learned serjeant commented on the igno rance of Matthews in reference to the murder for so many days, especially when the case had appeared in all sore of ways at the coroner's court, before police magistrates, and in the police reports, which comprised the literature of cabmen. There was, be contended, no solid, no unmis takeable proof that this hat belonged to Miller. There might be suspicion ; but sespicioe, and even strong suspi cion, in • cue like the present must be amt aside. He (the learned serjeant) regretted to find that Muller had made statemen ts inconsistent with the truth. He ' was a vain, boastful man, sod it could not be denied that in ' reference to his own affairs be had said many things which were set strictly true. There was no object in many of theme statements. He could have had no potable object in saying that he was going to America for the Mews. Holgkinson at 1504 • year. He asked the jury not to plane any reliance upon these statements of • vain, boast ful young roan. it could not be proved that the hat in question ever belonged to Mr. Briggs, and he should show them that the fact of the hat having been cut down was no evidence of guilt on the part of Muller, as be should adduce evidence that the cattle' down of has in this way wan& common practice in the seoood-hand trade. Then with regard to the watch and chain, Muller had to contend against !holed that he had told untruths about them. His possession of the watch and chain was certainly • mystery, but there were rimy mysteries in the world which would never be cleared up. There could be no doubt that in buying the watch and chain at the docks Muller mast have known that he was doing • very wrong thing. Bat where was there • place more likely thee the docks where • young man of Muller's age might be more easily deluded into • purchase of such articles ? That be had mossy in kis possession had been proved by Haffa, and that money mat have gone somewhere, for be had only lls, is his possession when be was arrested on board the Victoria. He (the learned wisest) oomeaded that there was sufficient evidence to show that Muller was at the docks on the Monday. The leveed Baguet said be should call Mr. Lee, who saw two persons with Mr. Briggs in the carriage at Bow. The learned sergeant oontianed : You may remember that the prisoner said be was going to see his sweetheart at Cambiewell, and he gave the name of the girl he was going to see, whom Haifa said was a girl of the town. He W known her before, and had been in the habit of visiting her. Haifa did not know whether she knew Muller by his right name, but she will tell you that when you see her. Her landlady, Mrs. Jones, lives at Stanley•oottage, Jameaetrest, Vaseall-road. Now, gallium, this evidence is in the nature of an alibi. and if true it is the most con clusive evidence which can be given. This young girl knew • person of the name of Alexander Gill. I shall call Mrs. Jones before you, and she will tell you that on that nli after nine o'clock. between nine and ten, Muller call e d, but the girl Eldred was out. He spoke to Mrs. Jones, or Mrs. Johnson, as he called her, about ten minutes, and then left. He had his slipper on, and you will remem ber that it is clearly proved that upon the night of the murder he had his slipper on whoa he left the Rawl& He had it on also at CamberwelL That is another circumstance hi the case which =ekes it very unlikely, as it seems to me, that, with a slipper as. he could have committed sunk a mime as this. He had his slipper on when he left Camberwell. The girl Eldred had goes out about nine o'clock. Shortly after that, as you will find by witnesses, Eldred returned, and then Mrs. Jones told her that Moller had been to see her. (The learned serjeant was here interrupted by one of the other learned counsel for the defence, and, correcting hi-tuolf, said i) I am told it was Sunday morning whim Eldred returned. This only shows you how very desir able it is that counsel for the defame should have the right of summing up afterwards. Mrs. Jones told her that her young Freochnian had come to see her; for Mrs. Jams, or Johoson, knew him as the yourrg Prowls man. Now, Mrs. Jones and the young girl Eldred abort this time received • paper which I hold in my head, and which is • telegraphic message. That mange was re. oared on the 9th of July from Alexander Gill, giving an address somewhere in Whitechapel, and addressed to Miss Eldred, fitanlev•cottage, Junes-street, Vasmil-road, Camberwell. It rid : ' I shall be with you on Sunday at three o'clock, be at home.—Your, in baste, Alexr. Gill Street." Ls. Jones has two lodgers in her house, one Mies Eldred and another girl. Both of these girls are what are called unfortunate girls. Now, that ap pears to me to be the only blot in the charact er of Mal , ler that we have seen is the course of this very long trial. Gentlemen, when we know well what is going on in all ' clams, from the highest to the lowest, our monk indigos tioa ought not to press too heavily on the heeds of these un fortunates. Still, they will have to be watched narrowly, to see whether their evidence is or is not true. If you are satisfied that this telegram is genuine, it is a wonderful coincidence that this girl should have received it, sod that she should be told on the same day by Mrs. Jones that her young Freechnum had been to see her. This is a wonderful coincideoes. That this message is • genuine one can be proved beyond all doubt or question, and Mrs. Jones will tell you that on that night Muller came to her house; and that, gentlemen, is where Muller himself mid he was going when he said he was going to Camberwell, and, I behave, to see the girl Eldred. Now, plainsmen, a person suddenly appears before you as • Wi th al* • of whom you have heard nothing before ; but if you believe what this witness will tell you, it will allow you to relieve the young man at the bar from the fearful consequences of this charge. I shall call before you • witness whose testi mony, however, will not be very great. An omnibus modular who coodects an omnibus from Camberwell gate remembers this; and it is one of the results of the impanel that have been made by the German Legal Protection Society, who, much to their honour, although feeling as greet • horror at this mina as any living men • have not allowed the life of their country man to be sacrificed, however humble he may he, without giving him the means of • complete and thorough defence. I shall call this cansibus-cooductor before you. He has been to see Muller since he was in prison, and hes been un able to identify him. Mrs. Jones and Miss Eldred saw him in prison, and of course recognised him at once. It is, how ever, • very small circumstance that I am shout to mention. The omnibus conductor remember, that at seven minutes to ten o'clock on one Saturday night • pump, got into his omnibus ; and if it should be that this man was the prisoner before you Sere to day, it would not be the first time that you had heard that he had come home in a Camberwell omnibus that night. About ten minutes to ten o'clock—on • Saturday sight, I say— the omnibus conductor recollects • passenger got into his omnibus who had • carpet slipper upon on, foot. That is the whole of the evidence he ma give you. It may I weigh as naught. A passenger in an omnibus with • carpet 1 slipper is, however, • very rare kind of passenger. The time, too, fits with Muller's visit to Mrs. Jones. Now, gee tames, it may be that on examining him more may come to his moollectioo. It a • very trifling circumstance which he has to speak to, but the very insignificance of it shows that the man who tells it must be the witness of truth. If what he had to say had beet false, be would have said he bad known Muller, and he would have told you all that was neces sary to prove an alibi. I dared not keep this fact from you, although I admit it is not of so great importance as other that will he submitted to you. There, is however, one observation which I ought to have made before, and it is of such great importance that I am sure you will not regret that I make it now. It is this—that no marks of blood whatever hays been foetid on the clothes of the prisoner. It is idle to say that he has made away sift] his clothes, because he clearly bed not dose so before his departure from the Loudon • Docks. No marks of blood hive been found. Gentlemen, it cannot be doubted that if he were himself the murderer, or if he were one of two murderers, he would have had marks of blood upon him. Blood spurted out of Mr. Briggs, and there is no doubt whatever that his assailant must have bees covered with blood, or, at all events, have had a eoesiderable *mount upon his clothes. Now, the only way in which the prose. cation can answer that statement is Ibis, that the clothes he wore in that carriage might have been made away with. It appeals to me to be enuclusive that they were not made away with after the murder. Now, gentlemen ' I believe that I have urged upon your attention every topic that I thought might be liccomably advanced by me on behalf of tbe prisoner at the bar. 1 hope—l sincerely hope—that I have done my duty. Gentlemen, this case, as I have said all along, Cs one of sespicion—great suspicion —but I hope yes will forgive me if, at the lest tamest that I shall have the opportunity of saying a word to you—l hope you will forgive me if I entreat you to bear in mind that the case, if sot proved against the prisoner, is equivalent to the fact of his innocence— at all events so far as your duty is con cerned. "Not guilty" in the English law means this, either that the person charged is perfectly innocent, or that the evidence given against him—the proof brought • forward—was not satisfactory to the careful and cautious • men who tried him. Gentlemen, if ever there was • case in which care sod caution ought to be exercised by Chris tian men before they arrive at a conclusiou it is a case like this, where the life or death of a fellowereatore hangs upon the balance. Once given and the sentence ex ecuted your judgment is irrevocable. You poems • i transcendent power —a power which no other institution , is this country possesses. You, the jury, have the transcendent power to bid that young man to live or ' to die. Geotlenon, when you retire after the final charge l of the learned jades, there will be a terrible duty cast l upon you. Is there ou of you who would oot have me i fenid to be relieved of that duty ? Gentlemes, se I i began so I will end. Whatever difficulties this yeast man bas had to encounter in this case—whatever diffi culties I, u his advocate, have had to encounter in the ) performance of my duty—l will only say at the end as I , did at the beginning, that I have the Idlest reliance epee SER.TEANT PARRY'S SPEECH FOR THE DEFENCE. (anithnied from yesterday's Express.) Mr. Thomas Titmerek—l am a watchmaker. I knew the late Mr. Briggs 7or 8 years. I repaired a watch for him come or twice. It is the practice in the trade when we repair a watch to take the amber of the watch in our books. I know the watch produced. It was Mr. Briggs's watch. I repaired it twice for him—the last time in 1863. I should think the value of the watch is *boot ten or twelve pounds. It is an old fashioned gold watch, and might ori ginally be sold for 25/. Mr. Digasce examieed-1 am a hatter carrying on Wei ner at In, loyal Exchange. The late Mr. Briggs was a customer of mine for the last 25 or 30 years. Every hat he had was made to order. I made a hat to the order of Mr. Brigp isseptember, 1863. Aocordieg to the limier' in my book, the hat produced does not correepood. It cor teapot& in the shape of the crown. It is a bell crown, and be ordered a bell crown hat. The hat produced is lower In the crown than the one that was made for him. It was a little too easy in Use head, sod I placed a little them paper round. It is not there now, but there are fragments of it inside the lining. This hat his been oat down, I should say from an inch to an inch and a half, sad the bottom part of the leather haa been cut. The piece has been removed sod brought over the band and stitched, and the silk has been pushed down by that stitching. Is that the way in which a hatter would cut it down'— Certainly sot. How would a batter cut it down'—lt is an operation I have never seen done. But suppose it had been cut down and had to be futons& —He would secure it with gam and press it down with a hot iron. That process has certainly not been timed here. How has it been sewed, neatly or otherwise have not saes anything of the kind before. I should say it has been neatly done. . . . . . Would you say it has bees done by a pence who under. shads sewing should say it has. Thep, with the exception of the cutting down the hat corresponds with that you sold to Mr. Briggs!—lt doss. When a hat is made to ord.: is it usual to put the name of the customer inside!—Yes, it is generally put on the band inside. Is that the part of the bat which has been taken away!— It is. -- Cron-examined by Mr. Serjeant Parry—There is the name of Franz Muller Mauls now. Is it usual to put times paper Ladd. hata':—Yes. Do you know ►nything of the second-hand hat trade?— Nothing. Might not some of your hats get into the hands a second hand dealers`—Yes, serrante may will them. (One or two hats were shown to witness.) These hats I should say are my manufacture. They are old affairs Another h►t wu shown to witness.] This bat was made to order, and there is the name of the customer inside the bat. Mr. Briggs generally bad one hat a year; be wu a very careful IMAM Th. Forema- Can you state how much of thin lining has boss tut ?—I should think half 'winch. Mr. Frederick W. Thorne—l em • bat manufacturer. I make bats for Mr. Digance. The hat produced is my ma aufacture. and it has my handwriting in it, the two letters T. D. It is the practice when a hat is ordered to put the name of the customer. It is generally put on t►e bald inside. Thia bat has been cut away from an inch to an inch and a quarter. The part out out would be the part es which the name was written. Though Ido sot know UM this bat was made for Mr. Briggs, I know it was made for Mr. Diganca. l hare known bats cut down. If shatter cut nee down he would fasten with gam and use the iron. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Parry—l mark &II the hats I make for Mr. Diganoe in this way. I make many granite for him in the warms of a year. I have other marks far other customers. Blithe re;sll4l—Did you know the overcoat which the prisoner bad with a velvet oollar?—Yes. When aid you last see him with it!—On Thursday, the 13th of July. That was the day be was taking hie leave!—Yee. Wu be wearing 4?-1 menu say whether he was wear. ing it or whether he had it ou his arm. This closed the cue for the prosecution. Mr. Serjeant Parry thee rose to address the jury for the defence. He said be was sustained in the performance of the very serious and responsible duty which rested upon him by the firm and unshaken conviction that the young man at the bar would have a fair and impartial trial. He kaiser I bow difficuit it would be for the jury to act with that self °Gebel upon their judgment which would prevent their being carried away by soy feeling. The Solicitor.G•neral bad invited them, and probably his lordship would repeat the invitation, to dismiss from their minds all that they bad beard or that they bad reed and all that they bad des ceased about this use. It would be a difficult task, for every newspaper in the kingdom had discussed the pros sad cons, and articles had appeared is the public press to prove that this young man was guilty of this murder. It was not for him to criticise the press. The writers for the press had their law of action as they bad at the bar, but it was for the most part unusual when a man had been arrested on a charge for which, if he were found guilty, his life must be sacrificed, for articles to appear even in the most eminent papers, to prove that the man charged was guilty of the crime. But such articles had appeared, mid they had doubtless been reed by every body in the country capable of reading • newspaper. In oonesqueocn au impression more or lass strong must have I been made on their minds. And not only had there been this action of the press, but the social discussions which had 1 taken place on the subject must have made as impression also on their minds. And yet he was convinced that they 4 would do their duty and give this man • fair sad impartial trial and be did Dot believe that when they retired to con. bider their verdict they would allow aught to influence them but what had been brought before them in court. The crime withwhich the prisoner wee charged was almost unparalleled. It was a crime that aimed at the life of millions—that affected the life of every man travelling upon the peat iron highways of the country. And when it was known that that crime bad been committed, a thrill of horror ran through the whole country. I Beek • mime was calculated to arouse within the human breast the almost instinctive spirit of vengeance. Still he bad faith in the honour of the jury. He did not fear that , they would allow • spirit of vengeance to actuate them. The law must be peasionlesa, anal he WAS sure when they parse to consider their verdict they would be passionless. The taunt `.'..;:nded to take on behalf of this young , man should not be misunderstood by any human beiig. Be i ham that there had been men in his profession, far more eminent than he we. likely to be, who had damaged thew selves, damaged their cheats, and damaged the profession to which they belonged, by a solemn asseveration of the innocence of the man whom they defended. He would I indulge is no such asseveration. Suppoeiog he were solemnly to assure them that he believed the young man at the bar to I , be inuocent, they would treat that asseveration as it de- served. It was for them to judge of the guilt or innocence of the prisoner by the evidence brought before them, and be bald it to be a breach of professional duty on the part ! of an advocate for him to pledge his own word or solemn belief of that of which he could personally know nothing. Bat be would demoestrate to them that on the evidence which had been laid before them, supplemented by the evidence which be should lay before them, they ought sot, and he believed they would not find this young man guilty. Ile agreed with the Solicitor-General that if it were not for circumstantial evidence crimes might be committed with impunity. He entirely concurred in that observation. He believed that circumstantial evidence, if sot the highest order, was very nearly the highest order of evidence. But there must be no link wanting in the chain. If there were a doubt upon any one part of the evidence it cast • doubt span the other part; and if the chain were not complete the jury could not and would not act upon it. The prosecution relied upon four pieces of evidence—that relating to the hat found in the railway carriage, the hat found M the prismier's box, the watch, and the chain. Now be wool: show that that evidence was not to be relied upon And first us regarded the hat found in the railway carriage. The wituesses to prove that hat belonged to the prisoner wore two—Mrs. Repack and the cations, • Matthews. The jury would be good enough to bear in mini the differeac• between the prisoner having had • hat like that ad the hat found in the railway crinkle being his. If the hat found in the railway curies* belonged to the primmer at the bar that, said the So- Beiter-(ieoei al, was a conclusive proof of his guilt. It brought him on the scene of the murder, and it placed him is the railway carriage with the murdered man. But they must not mix up the two queetions, whether the prisoner ever bad • hat like this, and whether this was his hat. Mrs.Repach told them that ale recognised the bat by the lining, but she could not tell the colour of the !Ming of her Mishears bat,or the colour of the lining of any other person's hat who was in the habit of calling at her house. She did not seem to have been meddling with any other person's hat. It was not impossible that Matthews bad a hat that resembled the hat in the carriage, and such a resemblance might bay. induced Mrs. Itepech to swear to the bat the prisoner bought in November last, which he said that Matthews had Rives him, and really believed it to be the same hat. The evidence of Matthews was absolutely worthless es affecting the prisoner. He did not eased that Jonathan Matthews was the murderer, or • party to it. He should disgrace his profession if he did make that assertion ; for it was only known to Him to whom all hearts are open and from whom so secrets are bid who was the per. petra tor of the murder; bat it was undoubtedly true suspicion had pointed her finger at hint, sod ti was equally _- TEE EXPREKtiI When Mr. Briggs, son of the &mimed, pm his evideaoe, Muller, who was sits* down at the time, Mood ap, and ap peared to devour *very word the entaess attired, bet with ea expression of sympathy that was enikingiv remarkable.

The ease of Joseph Gully, policeman, who irkeds charged with *desalting a woman of respectability. was put off until the second day of the next sessions, Mr. Metcalf, who with Mr. Collin defends the prisoner, being sapped in the Old Court, in the case of Pram Muller. .rolut Costa, traveller, was indicted for compering with others not in custody to defraud Joseph Reysolds Many Lees, Ann Howard, sod Henry Smith, of differeet stuns of mooey. Mr. Taylor prosecuted, and Mr. F. H. Lewis defended. In this case the primmer belonged to oas of theme gap of swindlers who at the present time infest the monopole to entrap the unwary, who are meetly poor people, and in the majority of cases widows. The practice is fors man to go into a shop newly wve wooed and gin an order for a Lege num ber of black-lead pencils, and shortly afterwards • traveller comes round and offal. pencil. for sale exactly agreeing with those his confederate had prev iously ordered.

Q . = defrauded by the prisoner, who had penmated Um character of a traveller, sod who , strange to shy, had for sale on every occasion the very pencils which had been previously ordered by the " gentleman." The jury, alter • short deliberation, found him Guilty. Sentence deferred until next session. (Before the Common Serjeant) Charles Bask, Si, gardener, who had been previously tried on two other indictments and acquitted on both, wan charged with obtaining plane' to the value of 10/. by false poet/aces from Mr. William 8011, a nurserymen, of King's road Neat, Chelsea. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and Mt. Best defended. It appeared that the prisoner bad represented bimetal as being in the employ of a Mr. Edmooda, who was a gardener and known to the prosecutor, and be, believing the state- ment, let him have the goods. The jury were absent for some considerable time ; bat ultimately they returned into court and said they could sot agree upon their verdict, and were wt likely to, and the protest was accordingly discharged. William Cole, 25, was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the warehouse of James Franks sad another, and stealing tee to the value of 1501. Mr. Woods prosecuted sod Mr. Lilley defended. The witnesses in this cam were somewhat numerous, but the facts lie in a very small compass. The prosecutors are wholesale tea dealers, and on the night of Sonday, the 11th September, the door of their establishment in Queen-street was opened, apparently with a skeleton key, and the 000/ih hie upon the beat observed a horse sad eart outride. There were six bap containing about 6001 ha of tea In the cart, and focr men were standing beside it, one of whom was said to be the prisoner Cole. The moment the men saw the costa ble coming round the corner the to their heels along College lane andawed, but su bsequ ently Cole and . • man named Hayes were apprehended on chug* of I am' aimed in the robbery. Upon examinatiou it was f ound that five other bags, containing about 500 lbs. of tea, were in the doorway ready to be carted away. The whole of the tea bad been ta ken from chests in the warehouse. Four large jemmies and a bunch of skeleton key' were found upon the premissa The horse and cart were conveyed to the greesyard ut White- cross-street, and there they remain up to the presses time. The horse was a chestnut. blind of one eye, sad the polies men stationed in the Old Kent-road, Borough, is the *sigh bourhood of which the priaosers reside, deposed that they had frequently seen Cole driving it in a scrim cart, Hayes being in the vehicle at the time. Cole was described as a little man with abort whiskers. At the police-court the magistrate discharged Hayes, but committed Cole for trial. At the close of the cane for the prosecution Mr. Tilley submitted that the evidence against the prisoner was ray weak, because the constable could only swear as to his belief that he was the man. Moreover, the testimony was that be was wearing short whiskers as the time, whereas there was a barber is court who had been is the constant habit of shaving him twice a week for the last four year; and who was prepared to prove that he had never worn whisks; long or short. The barber was accordingly examined, ea was a withers for the purpose of proving an alibi, but this last signally failed with regard to dates, and when asked what was the present month, said be believed it was February. The jury found the primmer Guilty, and he was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. THE POLICE COURTS. WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday Earl de GAZY and Ravi; received at the War-office a deputation from the iababitaatsof Erith and Belvedere to present a memorial relative to the late catastr3pba, and spedally calling for inquiry lobo the management of Pnr. and other government magazines. The deputation was headed by the Verna* Archdeacon Smith, Vicar of Eria, and included the following gentle. men :—Dr. Broom, J. Pariah, Rev. J. Benham, W. Cayes, A. T. Jay C. Hortridge, W. Everett, A. Wells, A. Hall, F. L Daldy, J. L. Bidmemd, C. Beadle, jun. Captain IVlCillop, and J. Reeves, secretary to the men . _ The following is • copy of the memorial :—" To the Eight Hoo. Earl de Grey and Ripon, her Majesty's Secretary of State for War. The memorial of the undersigned inhabit aots of the parish of Erich, in the county of Keith, sbeweth,—That by the meet fearf al expkeioe of gunpowder in the Fetish, which has resulted in much lois of We and destruction of property, their attention has been drawn to the legislative enactenects regulating the manufacture. packing, conveyance, and 'Acreage of gun powder. That upon care! al consideration of the same they are compelled to regard them se inadequate to the doe pro tection of life and property. Your memorialists, therefore, pray that it may please you to take the matter into your serious and immediate ooesiderstioo, and to adopt such means as may seem to you beet calculated to secure • searching investiptioa into the operative effect of the pre sent enactments and orders which regulate the nsanufactare, pecking, stereage, and conveyance of government powder, as well as to the manner in which each enactments and orders are complied with and carried out. dad that, pending the investigetioe prayed for, you will if passible cause the establishment at Purfiset to be closed, in order that the testing operations, the loading, unloading, and shipment of powder (fraught as your memorialist' believe with appalling danger) may be suspended. Your memorialists urge the prayer of their memorial upon your attention under the con viction that, in common with • large number of her Ithjesty's subjects, they see in great jeopardy and peril, sod that it is possible to frame such enactments and regulations as shall prevent • re:armies of the late fatal disaster.

Every attention should he gives to the subjects brought under oonsideratioa, and especially thaw practical suggestioes which did not involve the closing of Purfleet, which if ac ceded to would be followed by similar requests from all parts of the kingdom where magazines were placed.

At an early hour on Thursday morning the dead body of a man was found lying at the foot of an outside stair at • place called the Wes Barracks," is street, Wallaostows. It was ideatified as dyad Hr. John Fraser, late precentor in the New Church, Ayr. His face was oovered with blood and dirt, and a small pool of blood surrounded his head. The county police were soon on the rot ; and the Sheriff-Subetitute, Procurator-Fiscal, and Drs. Mootsomerie and Debbie, also arrived early in the morning. Death is supposed to have keen eared by • were couture' immediately above the right eye, which might have been oared either by • fall or a blow. It is marked by • large swelling over the eye. The bores known as the " Wes Barracks" are across the bead of a back yard in Georgerreet. They are approached through an entry in a poor oswetory tenement, and ibetwer the " Barracks" and the front houses the yard is lined oa either side with pig-houses and dungsters—a wide open apses being left is the centre. The " Barracks," which are two miserable looking buildings, are known to be • nest of printers, and • retrain IS kept in one of the hours. The seoood story of the houses is reached by two outside stairs with wooden railings, and there are inside stairs to garrets in the roofs. This morning about two o'clock, when two women named Brown and Brogan were eater ies the " Barracks," they found Fraser's body lying on the ground, outside the top Ladies-place of one of the stirs, sod information was immediately conveyed to the police. It is considered possible that while under the is. flumes of liquor he may have fallen over the woodenrail ing at the stairhead, which is about 3 feet in height ; but the position of the body does sot favour that supposition. A s ' circumstance also is, that the watch of de ns had been broken from the chain, sad was ford as if it had been thrust into his coat pocket. 14 is conjectured that the watch may have been taken from hint, and re. stored to his person after be was seen to be insensible or dead. At daylight, also, the pocketbook of demand, con taining Dome lettere and tithing-books, was found on a pig house, on the opposite aide of the yard. The whole of the inmates of the ground door (reputed shebeen), 'rood storey end garrets--numbering in all ten men and six women— were taken into custody for examination. They all dried any knowledge of the circumstance. Thor on the second storey state that about 12 o'clock on Wednesday night they heard a woman named Ares Ferrara, alias "Carly," who lives in the garret, enticing a man up the stairs, sad that some time afterwards they beard her swearing and ordering somebody to be off. When the police west to apprehend her, she was drunk and swearing, and they had to break open her door. This woman, who is about thirty years of age, and not very strong, does not, we believe, bear the character of being • violent The body of the ill-fated man has been r oveyed to the House of Refuge is Crosastrest, where it lies till a post mortem examination is made. Mr. Fraser, we understand, left his hour about six o'clock on Wednesday night, and did not return. He has been in th e habit of late of going out occasionally with fishers, and being away all night, so that no alarm was felt at hie absence. He resigned the precentorehip of the New Church about two months ago, after holding that office for about thirty youth —Ayr Ad mrtiar. THE SWISS POISONING CASE. The second day's sitting of the Court of Assizes of Beres was chiefly devoted to the interrogatory of the prisoner Demme. daring which the female prisoner was taken out of court . In reply to the President • questions Lemma stated that M. Trump; wee • man of light character, but that Mme. Tmmpy was • good sort of person. The marriage was Dot happy. Trumpy frequently got intoxicated ; and in that state was violent and brutal. In the spring of 1863, M. Trump; having expressed suspicious os the nature of the relations between him (the prisoner) and Mule. Trumpy, explanations were given and accepted a■ satisfactory. Al ready, at that time, M. Trump; bad talked of committing suicide; he even bought pistols for the purpose, a nd but for the prisoner's persuasions would have then de stroyed himself. With regard to • voyage in the East made by M. and Madame Trump; in company with him (prisoner) he stated that he went at their request and paid hi■ own ex pensed". Dori:4 the voyage Trump; WM frequently very morose, and behaved strangely. Oa one occasion he wanted hie wife to take • certain powder to cure • cold, but she re fused, fearing it was poison. Trumpy afterwards told him that be had purchased some very active poison while i• the East. The prisoner denied that he had ever meditated an elopement with Madame Trump;, hut be bad advised her to live apart from her husband for • time, and she would have dooe so but for the fear that it might have led to her husband's ruin. He (prisoner) was aware that Madame Trump; had some partiality for him, but he considered that it arose solely from gratitude for the services be had rendered to the family. With regard to Tmmpy's lest illneet, the prisoner stated that it was of syphilitic origin and attended with excruciating pain, to relieve which opiates were pre scribed. Of course Mme. Trump; bad been appruied either of the nature of the &setae or of the remedies em ployed. On the day before his death Trump; had been t• great pain, followed by vomiting, after which he slept quietly. He denied that be was alone in the sick man's chamber on that day. At night he was about to return home, hut Trump; would not beer of his going, and implored him to stay, saying : " Pray do not lame ; noire but you ma esve me !" He accordingly coesestoil be stay.
