On the night the prisoner and Jane Byrne loft Mr.Snsith's house, they came to witness Did not per. cells, that the prisoner was in liquor, although she was in a high state of agitation. She was accompanied lay Jae/ Byrne, whose clothes were torn, and who was crying daring the greater part of the nigh:. This evidence concluded the case for the defence; and the case having occupied the Court for six hoots And a half, the Recorder proposed to postpone his charge for an hour, in order that the Jury and those . d sbould,intbe interim, have some refs eshnient. hal f past six o'clock, the Jary having again as sembled, the ftirCOßDisit proceeded to sem up the ai des", which he did by, explaining the charge with which the prisoner stood accused, and the state of the law as applicable to it. He commented upon - the man 'Gamin which the indictment had been framed, cad said .that there was no necessity whatever to have set fonds k w many assignments of perjury, which merely served to embarrass the case, and answered no good purpose whatever. Several of these assignments had been negatived by the cross-examination of the. prisoner's Counsel, and many of them were so trivial and un important, that he wondered bow the prosecistor's .idvisers could have framed them with a'view to si conviction. His Lordship then went into the evidence, tatinning with the testimony of Mr.. Smith, spots Which he commented at considerable length. It was ttin.nauch, he thought, that the Jury should. be called twin to believe the evidenceola man, who, by his own confession—a confession wbicb he bad made in open Court, and indeed seemed almost to glory in it-.i.wae a hunter after female reputation, and a common des• stroyer of innocence and virtue. Had he not also contradicted himself, and grossly prevaricated before the Court and the Jury? Was a manso be credited,- *fen although bound by the sacred obligasion of am lath, who could not tell whether be had been ming-- stilly charged three or four times in the course of his life? His Lordship here read his pct., to the Jury all Mr. Smith's evidence, and remarked upon the discre pancies which it contained, and the disgusting admiw inns which that individual had made, and the total pant of shame and decency which his words and deo. ineanour had exhibited. In referring to the charge made against him by Jane Byrne, he drew the atten tion of the Jury to this circumstance—namely, that the prosecutor had omitted to set out in the indictment an assignment of perjury, which of all others they could -Imre easiest proved, it it we capable of proof—he al ltided to the circumstance of Roebuck having stated ,shat Jane Byrne, when she came down stairs, after Smith had accomplished his purpose, appeared in great distress, with her hair about her shoulders,zaod her clothes turn. Mr. ALLAY here interrupted his Lordship. An as signment of perk': y on that ground could not be sus tained, because there was only one witness present who could prove the fact. The RECORDER—Sir, I mast not be interrupted: you must not openly contradict me. Mr. ALLAY—I.say you are mistaken, and have mis itated a fact to the Jury. We could not have assigned Perjury upon the ground you mention. The Rat:Amu- 4 I say you could, Sir ; there were two witnesses present—the man who came, as he said. Co witness Smith pay ,the . prisoner and Byrne their /Pvt. and Smith's groom. It was very *song for Itlestosel openly to - contradict a Judge in his chate to a Jury:l.4lk Lordship then ontinned his address, in the course of which be came to the first meeting with Jane Byrne. When the Juty saw a man taking a young woman into his service, and afterwards making bte his harlot, .according to his own confession, what dgrte of credit could they attach to hi s statement as affecting the character of that unforthnate young wo. man? The . erum in which the prisoner's Counsel had .deperlbed the prosecutor, although severe, wets just, mad fully. warranted by the circumstances disclosed in 1 4 011 own evidence. His Lordship left the case to the .kary. telling them that, in order to make up their minds .O convict the prisoner, they must be sitisfied. not that ikeoiceties of the numerous assignments had been made out Isy the evidence, but that the chergwagainst Smith ad been founded upon wilful and corrupt perjury. mass they could come to that opinion, it was their bounden duty to deliver the prisoner from the penloos . situation in which this prosecution had placed her. - Mr. Amav—My Lord. you have told the Jury that which la not thiljitt.
