Counsel observed, that the present cos; was,, time the prisoner fired tbe.pistol; of reason, as not to possess a know .ight and wrong ? If he were in that not the object of punishment.' It would his conduct on the day the murder was rational to the observation -of the wit id be, called. Another question would i respecting the deceased striking the, t stick; because, if the latter was of, might have considered himself defen. , while the constable was in the act of of liberty.

The first change in it appeared from ' received from him when at Ra.ogate, 8,1812. was read in Court, and stated, that lie service for that of his cowry, and for the human race; but that he would not deserter, and hoped he would take his is house in his stead. A printed paper , bearing, that a man born in England Ire an universal peace, and would fulfil of Scripture, in turning the swords into , and the spears into pruning-hor4 - s ; made for T. Rhodes, Aldermanbury. went on to state, that he came home on Ictober, 1812, and adc;td prisoner to dine the Sunday following, when he wished particulars of his scheme; hilt - prisoner secret, and could not be divplged at mg asked what means he deigned to ing about his plan, he expressed his dis ers, hut thought well of Sir F.

Witness then applied to Mr. medical gentleman, who : saw "rimer which he received anothei letter, of 'date unber, .itating, a , that he had a targe bill, for gratitude, and that the balance was in Madness, is his mind, was - a niifortiinei he prisoner's) it was a disgrace: He (the murdered his reputation in the commas: t‘tl he must have ruiafactiaii ;t be made, that hi had never been arad, medical man had not . beeh Callecl'in to his lunacy; and that he Wanted ;el 0,000 days."

Supposing him to be insane, these es . s accuiij Mar s without any -- legal pretviskand that ‘by . Ibite. Itcoult sot amount to murder itr smy point of viers.' The prisoner l'iting called upon for his defence, ob served, if the Court would grant him the indulgence, be had a good deal to say. The principal part of the charge, he had just understood. was done away with; and, therefore, he had no need to defend himself on that. He then proceeded to give an account of his first confinement in the Compeer, down to the present time, in a collected manner, stating dates, &c. He was told he was well four months ago, but Mr. Haigh did not consider him so • and he resolved on breaking out of the Hospital, as Mr. Haigh had made himself a physician to beep him there. The prisoner added, • the witnesses could only see him present a pistol through a glass. Mr. Haslam, a surgeon, had had 2Q,000 cases of lunatics under his inspection: He considered the 'prisoner decidedly insane. He had seen hi:, after ' his confinement in the Compter, and his opinion was the same. Witness certified to the confinement of the prisoner. Saw him a dozen times at Horton, and there was no variation. He had no lucid intervals, although he talked rationally on all subjects not con fleeted with his favourite object. In answer to a question from Mr. Assoc, witness oloserved— ,l His right is your wrong, and his wrong is your right."— His understanding was so perverted as deprived him 'of judging of 'right or wrong. Witness was of opi nion he was not a judge of the moral guilt in taking. away the life of a person. Mr. Drury, Apothecary of St. Luke's, proved, that the prisoner was always insane when in that Hospital. He was incapable of forming an .estimation of any matter in which he was engaged. • The prisoner here desired to question witness, when he was informed he had Counsel (Messrs. GIJRNkY and Anne), when he replied—“ he had no Counsel." His cross-examination was chiefly to endeavour to prove he was not insane,—and when informed, in answer to a question that witness always considered -him isisne, he replied —he the witness had a good' opinion of himself. Dr. Sutherland, Physician of St. Luke's, also 'agreed; -*that the prisoner was insane, and-not fit to be g at large. Question from the Benth." Had his malady that possession of his mind, so as to.preverit the estimation of right or wrong tieing I"—A. 66 He certainly was net capable of judging of right and wrong." Here the Counsellor the prisoner produced the verdict of the Coroner's Jury t but Mr. Shelton, the Coroner, was. not sworn: The verdict in that ease Top lusantty. tvir.Aisor, for the prosecution, objected to such evidence, and the Court coincided with him. The Cc~rrones's was a preliminary step, the same as a cam Jury's business. It was prima facie evidence to inquire ; into fads; assd bring a prisoner to trial. • `.Sit S. BL.OIC I in' summing pp, stated in a clear distinct view the law of/the case. To convict the prisoner, the Jury must be satisfied the act was wilful and Malidous . ; and to constitute this, the mind must accompany the act"; and it.was necessary that the in dividual shoUld estimate the distinction of right and wrong. If the mind of the prisoner was so diseased at die time he shot Presto, he was not amenable to the laws. It however was not sufficient that the mind : was diverted from right by one object. The evidence went to prove that his mind became diseased at the time of addressing his first letter to Mr. Haigh; and the physician and surgeons declared him iosane up to this time. The question for the Jury was, fist, whe ther the prisoner knew right and wrong ; and if so, what offence had been committed f Two persons from St . Luke's observed pistols, but no breach of the peace had been committed, to make the prisoner an object to secure without legal process., Insane or not —if insane, the People of St. Luke's did what they could to tame the prisoner ; but if not insane, no one could legally molest him. Presto, according to the evidence, was shot in the attempt to take the prisoner; and then the off nce was not murder, but manslaugh. ter. If sine, the tifence was the same. If insane, the prisoner would be entitled to acquittal. The Jury returned a verdict of Insanity. The Court ordered the verdict. with the reason for it, to liericorded : and said it would make the usual order With: respect to the prisoner being confined. The foal lasted till five o'clock in the afternoon. Seienteen other prisoners were tried, eight of whom were capitally convicted, viz. Mary Ann Brown, for stealing articles of plate ; J. Reece, Elizabeth Clark, and J. Sweeney, for stealing several pocket-books ; Mary MiCariht; for stealing several ,Cl Bonk-notes ; J. Wheeler; for stealing a saddle ; R. Finch, for stealing two sheets and J. Golding for stealing six . del Bank-notes. The following were acquitted, viz. J Johns, J. Whittephall, Margaret Tyler, J. Rey. tolds, R. Spicer, F. Clark, and A. Rutter. ' SwtNninm—Yesterday George Lodz, alias Dougla+, underwent a second examination, at Bow -street, charged with various acts of swindling, and other offences, which were so numerous that the parties connected with them actually crowded the office ; but how such a number of persons could be duped and defrauded by such a stripling, is quite surprising, as he is only seventeen years of age, and has neither a genteel appearance nor address; but looked like a mere bedizened fop.

The charge of Mrs. Elvey involving one of forgery, for uttering a forged draft, and a charge of stealing the goods, the prisoner was upon both fully committed for trial.

Tuesday morning, about five o'clock, the Gas house belonging to the factory of Messrs. Conplands, at Hunslet, took fire, but owing to the timely assi;- taace of their workmen and neighbours, aided by a very powerful forcing pump, the flames were happily extinguished without doing any material damage. —...-- Monday se'nnight a fine boy, nine years of age, of the name of Scotland, wai drowned in the Water of-1 Leith, near Hillhousefield. The boy, with several others, was playing on the ice, when it broke in. Saturday se'nnight, as some boys were amusing themselves by sliding upon the Jed, opposite the Manse, Jedburgb, the ice gave way, and two of the boys sunk, and were unfortunately drowned. Monday se'nnight, while a collier was descending a coal-pit at StoAelaw, near Rutherglen, a new rope, which had not been properly fastened to the drum, gave way, and twisted round the body of James For- . rest, who was standing at the mouth of the pit, into which he was precipitated to the bottom, a depth of 65 fathoms, and killed on the_Spot.
