(Hear, bear.)

(Hear, hew.) They are for that purpose willing to meet to the motion, mace of which has been given by the noble lord the member for Middlesex (Lord Enfield), with a alight anietalment with respect to the nature of the grant—substi totin4 that it shell Le iiveu ou the report of the inspector instead of on the average attendance. In ceder to preclude the apprehension —uot, I think, well founded, but which seeros to be entertained in some quarters—that it was intruded to make the grant iodepeadest of the general report of the inspector, I have also to state that the government think right, in de. fresco to the opinions that have been expressed, to couple that concession with another, and I bug of the house to ausehler the two together, and not to moats the oat hoes the other, because the one has a great bearing the other. We bare found throughout the country the recess, and we have heard duriog the debate, a number of °pinkies 'gaited grouping . by age foe the purpose of examination. Without eotenng into the abstract merits of that proposition, the government are quite ready to am. cede that pent also, and to give up the principle of pimples children by age. I trust the house will accept that come► eion also in the spirit in which it is made. ((Bear, hear.)

(Hear, hear.) The governerseet are esaleg to reconsider the manner in which the pupil teachers who are now engaged have been provided fur, and they are willing to proper instead of the scheme contained in that resolu tion a scheme which, while it shall provide for bolding the existing pupil teacher harmless, Mallet the same time leave to the managers any surplus that may remain after pay. meat of those pupil teachers—that is, if the grant falls short of paying the pupil teachers the goversmeot shall seeks good the difference ; sod if there be a surplus it is to be the property of the managers.

Upon hearing this, the prisoner said, " You have taken the wrong man. I left Chieheatm two days ago, and I am liable to be treated as a deserter. How could I murder &ey es* when I had nothing to do it with?" The officers re plied." With that ride you took out of barrack, with you." The prisoner thee said, " I took so rills," and he inquired how they knew that a rifle bad been taken out of the bar racks, and the officer told him that one bad been found biddies in a ditch. The prisoner, in answer to this, said, 4 Well, It is not mine." The prisoner was then conveyed to Chichester, and while he was in the charge of a constable tamed Clarke, he eptered into oonversatioo with this par ticle, andsaid that he left the barracks at Chichester about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, and that he had walked about the fields on the following day p i cking blackberries, and that at night he got some bay and lay down in a wood. He then talked about the ors of his regiment, and said that Major Bush, who was one of them, was a very good officer, and he supposed he wee the person who had sent him a religious book that bad been supplied to him. It also appeared that when the prisoner was about to be re moved to Petworth gaol, after he had been committed for trial upon the chary of murder, he said to one of the per sees about him, " Good-bye I shell never see you any more. I know what they will do with me, I expect they will hang me." These were the principal points that were :skid upon to sup the charge ageing the primmer, sad they were by a great many witnesses The learned counsel for the prisoner put several questions to these witnesses in the form of cross-examination, but be did not elicit anything that at all tended to affect the character of the evidence they had given in their eternisation in chief. It was elicited in the course of the case that the prisoner wee an Irishman, and that be came from the neighbourhood of Nenegh, and that he bad stated that one of his relations was murdered near the tows of Nenagh some time before. He also, it appeared, maid that he had applied to Major Bosh for a pen to enable him to go and see his brother, and that he refused, and that Major Bush would hang him if he could, and he hoped that when he went back be would have him drummed oat of the regiment. The primmer, it appeared, also inquired whether the maa was dead, and when be was told that he was, he asked who he was, and when be was totalled that be was one of tke studesta at the college at Chiabester, be said he did not know say of the students, sod that the de ceased wail a stranger to him. One of the witnesses, it also appeared, made an observation to tis t e4soner, to the effect that the charge that was made him was a 'my awful one, and he replied that was but added, "If there's a God in Heaven, mil dm witnesses do not speak falsely, I an clear myself km Is the noun of themes tot the promoution, Mr. Roswell as above stated. be put la evidenoe the statement made by the deemed jab bofen Wa loth.

Mr. limped said he was unable to prove more Oro that the detained requested to be taken home at once, or he believed be sh oul d die of cold. Chief Justine Erle mid this was not endicient, and be should not be justified in adesitilogthe statement upon such a state of hots ; and this eVidelbee wee therefore rejected. Mr. Barrow, at the close of the case for the prosecution, made an earnest appeal tothe jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he contended, in the las instance, that there was no positive widows to show Heat a murder had been own. mitted. lie said it was clear that the unfortunate deceased young gentleman was en utter stranger to the prisoner, and he, therefore, meld not have had any motive for destroying his life, and that supposing even that the jury should be of opinion that the prisoner was the man who bed caused his death, there wee nothing to show that the gun did not go off accidentally. He then observed epos the want of proof of the prisoner having his rifle with him when he left the barracks on the night of a the 15th of October, and the weakness of the 'videos/ as to , his Mink the man who use seen in the neighbourhood on Chichester and the other Owes on the night when the offence was alleged to have been committed, and he con. eluded by observing that on such a charge as t his, when the consequences of a oonvistioo were of so fearful a character, the jury would not be justified in returning a verdict of guilty, unless epee evidence of the most conclusive desaip ilea, and such as could leave no possible doubt of the guilt of the person accused. Chief Justice Erie, in summing up, said he thought that upon the evidence before the court there could be no reason able doubt that a murder had been committed, and the only question for the jury to consider was whether they were Minted that the prisoner was the perms who committed the crime. He then said that it appeared to him that the police of Chichester had been very diligent in bringing for. ward all the witnesses whose evidence could throw eny light upon the subject, but they had to decide whether their testimony established conclusively the guilt of the prisoner, and if any doubt misted upon that point, he was entitled to the benefit of that dooM, sad they ought to afteracquit him. deliberating about a quarter of an boar in the box;retued a rdict of Not Guilty.

John Fowles, shopman to Mr. Birch, dated that be was I at work in the shop, yesterday morning, at about half -peat 11, when be heard a violent blow at the window. On going to see what it was, he maw the prisoner, Simpson, step bed 4 and then strike the window two or three times and break it. A quantity of goods that were in the window fell on to the pavement. Mr. Gabriel, a watchmaker in the employ of Mr. Birch, said he saw the prisoner Simpson strike the window with his fist, and then step back and strike it again, which smashed it. (A piece of the glass was produced, and it was more than a quarter of an inch in thickness.) The prieenen were taken into the shop, and he took from Smith a gold claim worth 8/. Raia-Constable Stock, 589, said he took the prisoners into custody at Mr. Birch's shop, and on searching Simpson at the station he found a gold hunting watch in hie posses sion. Smith stated that he had come from Yam, sad Simpson said he came from Manchester. The watch was identified by Mr. Gabriel as Mr. Birch's property, and he stated that the valise of it was 301. The prisoners, who said they were hard up, and had nothing to eat, were committed for trial. TB! *WIMPY= MUEDIUA AT MORON.

The only defence set up for the prisoner was, that he must have been out of his seems, and did not know what he was about at the time.
