The learned judge then went on to say that be felt that it was hardly necessary for him to remind the jury that they were in no way responsible for the consequences that would follow their verdict, and that it would be a very sad thing indeed for the nitrites of them all if • jury were to allow themselves to he in any way biassed by other considerations than those which arose from the evidence that wan laid before them, or were to refrain from returning that verdict which could only be consistently arrived at upon the testimony that was before them. With regard to the plea of insanity, he felt bound to say that it was certainly very remarkable that the only witness.' who had been called for the purpose of establishing that plea were persons who had never seen him until within the lest few days, and not a single friend or acquaintance of the prisoner had been called to speak to his audition before these occurrences took place. His lordship then proceeded to call the attention of the joy to the evidence on both sides with regard to the question of insanity, and said that, after all, the real question was whether the prisoner wan aware that he was committing an sot that was wrong, and contrary to law—in other words, a crime—and if the jury were satisfied that he possessed this knowledge, they ought to find him guilty. If, on the other hand, the evidence created any ressortable doubt in their minds upon this clues. tint, then they might to acquit him. The jury retired to deliberate at a quarter to five o'clock, but in bees than ten minutes they returned into court, and said they were agreed upon their verdict. Mr. Reed, the deputy clerk of 'enigma, then 'eked the jury whether they found that the prisoner was of sound mind and understanding, and competent to take his trial. The jury replied that they did. Mr. Reed next inquired whether they fouod the prisoner guilty or not guilty of the felony and murder whereof he stood indicted. The Foreman (in an emphatic torri)—We say that the pri. goner is Guilty. There was a slight attempt at cheering in the court when the verdict was pronounced, but it WY of course imam. dietely stopped. Mr. Reed then put the usual formal question to the pri soner whether he had anything to urge why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him' Mr. Justio Mellor then put on the black cap, and was about to pass sentence, but his emotion was so great that he was unable at first to give utterance to His words. The priooner, taking advantage of this pause, with great coolness addre s sed the court, and maid, "My laid, I wish to ask you a question as to my rights and privileges in my present position." Mr. Justice Mellor—All that yea have a right to do, by law, is to urge any point of law upon which you may con. tend that jadgment ought to be arrested, ad that I ought not to pass sentence upon you. The prisoner—Although I am admiring you u my judge, I wish it still to be coneidered that I am merely eddreseing ley fellow men. When I came into this court yesterday I bed no knowledge whatever of the forms of law, or what were my rights in my present position, end I have 'gain to ask your lordship to inform me whit those rights are. Mr. Justice Mellor—All I can tell you is to repeat that you have no right to do anything nor then to urge such points of law as you may consider would justify an arrest of judgment. At the same time I mast inform you that you cannot be permitted to enter into any moons matter, and that you meat confine yonreeif entirely to points of law. Prisoner—Then, my lord, in order loanable me to do this , I have to ask that you will make an order that two dates which were furnished to me yesterday, and upon which I made some notes during the trial of points that occurred to me, may be restored to me. They were taken away from ma by the gaolers, and have not been returned, and I cannot say what I desire without the assistance of the notes that are upon them. Mr. Justice Mellor—lt is quite useless for you to endea vour to enter upon any other subjects than those I have mentioned, and it can therefore answer no good purpose to famish you with the notes you refer to. The prisoner was then silent, and did not make another attempt to address the court. The learned Judge then said—Prisoner at the bar, you stand convicted, after a lengthened inquiry , of the crime of wilful murder committed upon the person of your owe wife. This is a crime that ardor all circumstances is one of the most dreadful character, bus the details of your case are doubly so, and I will not trust myself to deal upon them. I am afraid that you have for a long time been living a life of sin, and it would appear to be your object to cast upon society the blame for the consequences that resulted frem your own misconduct. I have not the slightest doubt that you perfectly appreciate mid understand everything that his taken place, and if the solemn thoughts connected with a God and a judgment ever entered into your mind, I entreat you to make good use of the sheet time that is left to you in this world, and throw yourself at the feet of the erase, and ask for that pardon which is never denied to a repentant sinner. His lordship then passed the usual sentence of death in the terms of the law. The prisoner did not exhibit the slightest emotion when the sentence was pronounced upon him, and he walkedaway ' -en the bar without uttering a word. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

(Before Mr. Justice Shim) David Rooth, 50, labourer, William Sykes, 38. f Aaron Savage, 35, excavator, John fonie, = John Benleliffe, 29, collier, and Henry Bone, 35, collier, were indicted for the wilful murder of William Lilley, at Reventield. on the 10th of October. Robert Woodhouse, aged 40, labourer, had been eons mitted on the charge, but was admitted Queen's evidence. All the prisoners pleaded not guilty, Booth adding that he was guilty of being present, but not of taking part in the murder. Mr. 1). Seymour, Q.C. (specially Mahlon, Mr. Middle too, and Mr. Black burn conducted the prosecution ; Mr. C. Faster defended Sykes. Boutcliffe, and Bone; Mr. Waddy and Mr. Skidmore appeared for Toole ; and Mr. Teatm en for Savage. Booth had no counsel, but at the request of his lordship Mr. Brno* undertook hie defence. The oase lasted the whole day, and was adjourned till to-morrow, there being still some twenty triteness' to be waged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) In the ease of the trial of Hokherter, Behrens. Danis, Silberman, arid Braun. charged with being in the possession of forged Russian rouble notes, The jury retired to consider their verdict at ballast three, and were absent an hoar. On their return they said that they found Holchester and Behrens Guilty ; Silber man and Davis Guilty also, but am minor agents ; and Braun Not Guilty. Mr. Sleigh informed the mutt that Behrens, who had been a Russian sailor, had been convicted some years ago of obtaining goods under fable pretenoes at Plymouth ; Bd. barman had been charged with passing forged notes at Hamburg ; Davis bad also been charged with dealing with 5-rouble forged notes. With regard to Holebester. there were persons in custody in Paris who implicated him in eery large transactions is these forged notes, of which it lid been ascertained there were more than a million in cir culation in Russia. Of Bayer (who pleaded guilty) nothing was koown. There were ether indictments against Braun in respect to his feloniously making plates for forging notes, and the prosecution applied for his trial to be postponed on hose indictments. The Judge consented, but said he ought to be allowed to be hailed. On being asked why judgment should not be pared, Hot. cheater protested his innocence, and so far from dealing in notes he had bad to sell his furniture for his defence. He had lived 15 years in this country without reproach, and had a wife and four children, besides an aged mother and 'Wars wholly dependent upon him. Bayer said—lt was my fault ; but not my fault they did not hod what they were looking for, the manufactory of these notes. Davis said he had furnished the house in Russelletreet, bad thus become acquainted with other. and was wholly innocent. Silberman said he went to the house to get a document stowed for his relief as • Pols. Behrens said that like some of the others he had been antioad to the house by Lisbon for the police to take. The Judge—Holehester, you have all been convicted on the clearest evidence of being in possession illegally of these cotes. Ido Dot suppose you are the person engaged in their maeufecture, but you were evidently dealing with them very largely, and I think it my duty to pass upon you a severe meotnoc•-12 yews' penal servitude. Behrens, you also seem to be one of the leaders and an active agent, and I shad also pus a severe goatee°, upon you-7 years' penal servitude. Davis and Silberman, the jury have designated you as minor agents, and you do not seem to have been so deeply engaged in this business. As you, Davis, have been guilty of similar transactions before. the sentence upon you is 5 years' penal servitude. On Ballerinas and Bayer the sontseee is to each 15 calendar months' hard labour. Holchester appeared greatly affected by his sentence, and exclaimed violently, while the others exhibited the most stolid indifference.
