Simmons and Johnson were discharged. The prisoner made a very long and artful defence, which consisted almost entirely of horrible accusations against his prosecutor.

Witness heard the prisoner sty, as. as he was leaving the Mansion House--" I dire say they'll hang me, but. I don't care for that; I'll open suc h a scene when I come to the Old Bailey!" The Recorder suininrd up the evidence, and be Jury .merely• turned round in the box and pronounced the prisoner Guilty--Death. He heard the vertlct on. moved.
