Mr. V. SMITH supported the order as necessary for the protection of the Indian revenues. C3l. PATTEN said he thought the object of he hon baronet would be met by altering the order in ac cordance with the feelings of the Commissioners, from the " recommendation of the East India Company, (Ste." to " without the recommendation of the Crown." The motion of the hon, and learned baronet was then withdrawn. On the suggestion of Col. PATTEN a discussion took place relative to the powers of the Nawab of Surat to sue the East India Company under the treaty entered into between them in the course of which it was contended that this order would shut the native powers of India from any redress whatever—even from an application to Parliament under any treaty they might enter into with the East India Company. The house was addressed by Mr. Mangles, Mr. Roe buck, Sir J. Hogg, Sir F. Kelly, and Mr. Carciwell. The order aslamended was agreed to without a divi sion UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JULY D. In a convocatio❑ holden this day, at 10 o'clock, the degree of doctor of divinity by diploma was conferred on the Rev. Charles Baring, M.A., late student of Christ Church, the Bishop Eleet of Gloucester and Bristol. The examination for demyships now vacant at Magda• len College begins on Monday next. The election, it is expected, will take place on Thursday. BANK CHARTER. Mr. TITE gave notice that early next session he would move for a select committee to enquire into the operation of the Bank Charter Act. THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION. Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that on Thursday, or some other day if more convenient to the Government, he should review the business of the session, and found a motion thereon. Lord PALMERSTON said it would be more conve nient for the right hon. member to bring on his state ment on Friday. Mr. DISRAELI having consented to that day, Fri , day was accordingly fixed for that purpose. THE GERMAN LEGION. Mr. MURROUGa rose to put a question to the Clerk of the Ordnance relative to the officers of the British army having to furnish their huts at their own expense, whilst the officers of the German Legion had their huts furnished them at the public expense, and was proceeding to refer to the late disturbances, and the fears of the public that this Legion would become a portion of the standing army, when Mr. WALPOLE called the the hon. member to order. The Simians, said the hon. member could not enter into this question. Mr. MURROUGH then moved the adjournment of the house. Numbers of men were now suffering from the dirks of these assassins, and he called upon the Go. vernment to speak out and state what would be done with the legion. The SPEAKER said that if the practice of allowing hon. members to move the adjournment of the house to bring on queions of the kind were permitted i t w ould be impost e to TT ;ed with the hilliness of the house. Mr. URROUGH again rose to address the house, and was again called to order by hon. members on both sides of the house. Ultimately the hon. member put HOUSE OF LORDS—{This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON MATRICULATION LIST.-1856. ROYAL COMMISSION.

Lord PALMERSTON said he should not enter into the unfortunate occurrence that had happened at Alder shot, not being in possession of sufficient details. The German Legion had up to this time conducted them st,lves well, and such an occurrence as that referred to was not without precedent. As soon as possible ar rangements would be made for disbanding the Legion. His lordship explained that, the Legion being enrolled for only a temporary purpose, the furniture was lent them when at Shorncliffe, and on their return from the Crimea the same privilege was continued to them. [LEFT SITTING.] THE BOARD OF WORKS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SEN. 23, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, July 21. SIR,-A report having appeared in several of the daily papers to the effect that the offices of the Board of Wnias for the Strand district, 23, Henrietta-street, Covent-gar den, had fallen down en Saturday night, in consequence of the giving way of a newly-erected party wall built in the course of the last week, and taking down with it the remainder of the adjoining premises now in course of demolition, I beg to state for the information of the pub lic that there is no truth in the report so far as concerns the offices of the Board of Works. The party wall was built by the owner of the adjoining house, the former wall having been condemned by the proper authorities. The new one appears to have been very improperly built, and fell as reported, taking with it the greater part of the premises now being pulled dawn. The Board of Works is in no way answerable for the accident ; their offices are not injured, and the public affairs are there attended to as usual. I am, Sir, yours obediently, JAMES H. F. LEWIS, Clerk to the Board. TILE St., LONDON, MONDAY EVENIIia, hipLY 21 4 i6U- THE LEE. 'IVG-' CASE. TIZTAL OF WILLIAM DOVE. FOURTH DAY,—SATURDAY. Mr. Baron Bramwell took his Beat or tho bench this morning at 9 o'clock, when the prisoner was placed at the bar. He was unaltered in appearance. The court was again crowded in every part. The following additional evidence was called on the part of the defence. John Thompson, examined by Mr. Blis9-4 ant a schoolmaster living at Aberford, I have known the pri , Boner for some tune. I repeatedly saw him when he lived nt Bramham-moor. His manners were very wild, and his conversation very incoherent. I have heard him talk about his visit to America. He said he was engaged amongst tho Red Indians, and became their chief, that they met with a bear in the wood, when his party ran away, and he engaged with the bear, 'which attempted to suffocate him by breathing into his mouth. Whilst fixed between the bear's ;paws, the prisoner said he bad the presence of mind to take a knife out of his waistcoat pocket, and let the bear's bowels out. He afterwards mind. I should say that during the week prior to his wife's death he was of unsound mind. Cross-examined by Mr. Overend— T believe he has been insane for 20 years. I think he knew right from wrong airing , the 50 years, and also during the fatal week: 14.e.e*athioed—A Man may be cleeldedly and unques tionably mad, and yet know right from wrong, and yet be regardless of consequences. A man so insane mi g ht not be able to refrain from the commission of an act, though he might know he was doing wrong. Circum stances might have indo.ced him to refrain. The prisoner being iti posessiou of poison, t think he would be regard less of consequences, and would not be able to refrain from using it. By the Foreman of the Jury—My opinion is not an abstract one, but refers particulaily to the case of the prisoner, Mr. John Ritching, of York, examined by Mr. Hall —t am a surgeon, and superintendent of the York Re treat. I have about 100 patients under my care. I have heard the evidence in this case, and have formed an opinion that the prisoner was insane during the fatal week. I have examined the prisoner in the Castle, and my examination confirms my opinion. Cross-examined by ➢ir. Overend—l think it is pro bable that the prisoner knew right from wrong during the fatal week. If he did the murder 1 have no doubt that he knew he vras committing murder, and that if he were found out he would most likely be punished for it. Re-examined by Sergeant Wilkins—l consider his con duct during the fatal week the natural consequence of his previous life. I believe he has been insane alibis life. simply meant by murder that he knew he was trying way The Lords Commissioners were—the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Harrowby, and Lord Stanley. REGISTRATION OF TITLE DEEDS. Lord LYNDHURST said that three years ago a bill was introduced for the registration of title deeds. That bill was referred to a select committee. It came back again to their lordships, and was passed by a large ma jority. It then went down to the other house, but what afterwards became of it he did not know, except that it never passed into a law. A commission was subse quently appointed to inquire into the subject. He wished to know whether that commission had made a report, and, if not, what was the cause of the delay Before he sat down he wished to express his regret that so many important measures had been this session lost. He believed that so great an amount of bills lost or abandoned in the present session was unprecedented in the history of Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the commis sion referred to had not made its report. The Registra tion bill alluded to had gone down to the Commons, after receiving the general concurrence of their lordships house. It, however, did not meet with as favourable a reception in the : L ower House, when it was refer red to a select committee, who reported against the bill. They recommended the adoption of a different plan of registration, and a royal commission was issued with a view of considering how far the scheme recommended by the select committee was practicable. That commission commenced its sit tings in 1854, but they had not as yet made their re port. He had frequently cemmanicated with the mem bers of the committee, two of whom were the Solicitor- General and Mr. Walpole, and be wag informed that there were a great many difficulties in the subject, and that they were considering the whole of the matter very attentively. They had drawn up a draft of a report, which they hoped would be soon ready for presentation. He had prepared a bill in the early part of the session on the subject, but was induced to withhold its pre sentation under the expectation of the report alluded to being presented. Unles he received the re port during the recess he would certainly introduce his measure next session. THE RAJAH OF COORG. The Marquis of CLA.NRICARDE called attention to the case of the Rajah of Coorg, who was at present in England. This unfortunate gentleman had been a state prisoner in Benare", and applied to the East India Com pany for leave to visit England for the purpose of bene fiting his health and the education of his daughter. The Rajah having been compelled to remain some time longer in this country, he received a note from the East India Company, requiring him to return to India forthwith. He wished to ask the Go vernment whether they had received any information as to the treatment experienced by the Rajah at the hands of the East India Company, against whom he was prosecuting a suit at law. The latter fact might account for the anxiety of the Company for the return of the Rajah to India. The Duke of ARGYLL said the noble marquis evi dently knew more of the subject than he did. He , how . ever, thought that the East India Company having given this gentleman a certain leave of absence might reasonably refu-e to extend that leave without being subjected to any charge of cruelty. The subject then dropped. THE IRISH MILITIA) Viscount DUNGANNON asked the Secretary of S r,tA for War whether he had received any official com munication of the dismissal of 57 men of the City of Limerick Artillery Militia from Youghal on the sth inst., who were suffered to depart, many of them, with scarcely any clothing, and who had to proceed all the way to Limerick with only 6d. allotted to each indivi dual ; and also whether it was correct that 240 men were discharged on the 10th inst. from the Curragh, belonging to the Mayo Rifles, to find their way home with only one day's pay allotted to them The noble lord took occasion to complain very strongly of the conduct of the Government towards the Irish Militia. Lord PANMURE said in reply to the first question of the noble lord be had to say that he had received no comm.mication, either publicly or privately of the nature to which the noble lord's question referred. He had re ceived several communications recently from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but nothing of the kind alluded to was contained therein, and he was sure if there was any truth in the statement the Lord Lieutenant, who was lately at Limerick, must have known everything about the matter, and would have mentioned it if it bad occurred. In respect to the second question, he had to state that the men were not discharged, but permitted to go at their own request to their homes, having received the bounty and balance of pay due to them. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPHAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. The Lords' Amendments to the following bills were agreed to :—Dorset Central Railway, Improved Debtors' Discharge Society, Perth, Almond Valley, and Methven Railway ; and Shrewsbury and Welchpool Railway. STANDING ORDERS—REVISION COMMITTEE. CoL W. PATTEN, in moving that the report of this committee be agreed to, detailed the proposed alteration. The first proposition of importance was that no amend ment except of a merely verbal nature should be made at the third reading of a bill, in reference to which he thought it right to say that it was only carried by the casting vote of the chairman. He, however, thought it of great importance, and proposed that it should come into ope ration next session. They next recommended that the same process should be gone through with regard to the revenues of India, and with regard to the revenues of this country. The other propositions were unimportant, and amongst them he need only mention one, which was that the committees should have leave to sit on Wed nesday without a special order. They did not recom mend that these alterations should come into operation till next session. Lord lIOTHAM suggested that that there should be a limitation as to the period of session at which bills should be allowed to pass a second reading. Mr. WILKINSON suggested the abolition of exist ing privileges of private members to bring in miscella neous subjects under discussion on Friday on the mo tion for adjournment till Monday. The motion was ultimately agreed to. Upon the motion that the recommendation relative to the revenues of India being agreed to, Sir E. PERRY objected to the proposed alteration, as it was one that would abrogate the functions of Par liament. [Mr. Pal - lean, deputy-usher: of th e Bl ac k R o d , ap peared at the table of etire e house and summoned the Speaker and members of the house to hear the Royal assent given by commission to certain bills.—See Lords' report.] Sir E. PERRY, in a lengthened address, pro needed to show the effect of this order, and that it noght to be rejected by the house. He moved leave out the following proposed new order :—Tbat this house will no receive any petition or proceed upon THE REPORT ON PUBLIC OFFICES. The report of the select committee OR public offices was distributed on Saturday. The report refers to the inconvenience which now results from the various public offices being located at long distances from each other, and, as an instance, refers to the War Department, where it appears, exclusive of that branch of the business which is transacted at the Horse Guards, under the direction of the Cotnmander in -Chief, the business of the War Department is carried on at no less than ten diffe rent places, having separate establishments of clerks and officers, amounting altogether to 403, and varying in number from two to one hundred and eighty in the seve ral establishments. The committee therefore recoils mend, both as regards economy and efficiency i❑ the transaction of business, that there should be a concen tration of the various offices, and that such concentra tion should be effected in the immediate vicinity of Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament. It appears by the evidence that the houses now occu pied as offices for the public service (and which are held on lease) represent a rental of 22,000/. per annum, and that the same accommodation would be afforded by pub lic buildings three storeys in height, and occuping an area of 171,638 square feet, exclusive of open space. But if the branch of the Admiralty nom conducted at Somerset house should be removed to Whitehall, an ad ditional space of 42,600 square feet will be required for that purpose. With reference to the property required to be taken, tke report recommends that the area should be that bounded by the back of Richmond-terrace ; the north front of the Irish Office and Downing-street on the north ; New Palace yard and Great George-street on the south ; the river Thames on the East ; and St. James's Park on the west. All the property comprised within this area can be obtained. The above space in cludes, with the buildings in Downing-street, 825,275 square feet, one half of which it is calculated must be devoted to open spaces, and the other half to new build ings. Of this area, 171,633 square feet will be required for the offices above alluded to ; 42,600 square feet for the accommodation of the Admiralty business now con ducted at Scmetset-house ; and 151,535 square feet for the other offices, leaving, fur additional buildings likely to be required, 46,564 square feet. In this space of 825,275 square feet is included a portion of ground amounting to about 70,000 square feet, which it has been stated to the committee will probably be required for approaches to Westminster-bridge and for throwing open Westminster-hall to those approaches by taking down the south side of Bridge-street. For this space the sum of 250,0001. has been included in the estimate, which is as follows, viz.:—The total sum required fur the purchase of the ;round above enumerated will, de ducting this 250,0001, be about 1,250,0001. To this sum must be added the cost of erecting the proposed buildings, which has been estimated at 1,000,0001. On the other hand, however, there is to be deducted of course a capital corresponding to the rental of the houses above referred to, viz , 22,0001. per annum, and it should also bee borne in mind that the portion of Somerset-house now occupied by the Admiralty will be set free for other purposes. An opportunity will also be afforded without incurring any additional expense to make a great open ing from Whitehall to Westminster Abbey, by erecting the ne w buildings on each side of such thoroughfare. The report further recommends that it would be an economical arrangement to acquire at the same time the property between the north side of Great George-street and the Broad Sanctuary, together with the west side of Princes•street. The committee also recommend, in case Parliament should sanction the acquisition of the above properties, that the design of the different public build ings to be erected on the proposed site should be sub mitted to public competition. Such is the substance of the report, which it is expected Parliament will at once sanction. The sum of 2,250,0001., or rather 1,600,0001., because the capitalised value of the houses now erected will have to be deducted, is certainly a large sum, and will per haps make financial reformers stare ; but what is it in comparison to the advantages to be derived to the public revenue, and the improvement of this portion of the me tropolis If the cost was thrown over, say 60 years, the annual amount would scarcely be felt; indeed a percentage of the enormous sums annually wasted by Parliament would more than cover the annual cost. READY ROAD TO BANKRUPTCY.—Among our "gene ral" news (says the Sherborne Journal) we mentioned the cases of two insolvents, who, by dabbling in penny newspapers, found their way to Portugal street. It seems that dabbling in newspapers is a ready means of converting a prosperous tradesman into an insolvent, and a rather remarkable case in proof has since occurred. Among the cases enumerated as having brought the great shipbuilder, Mr. Mare, to'Basinghall-street, is his connection with the Plymouth Mail, a paper started and carried on for the purpose of securing Mr. Mare a seat for Plymouth. The loss upon this paper is set down at 16,1091. CHARLES MATHEWS.—We believe (says the Sunday Times) we are correct in stating that the pecuniary em barrassments into which Mr. Mathews has unfortunately fallen are attributable to his ill-advised resumption of the lesseeskip of the Lyceum Theatre after his bank ruptcy. He had been led to imagine that a number of friends would come forward to support him in a fresh attempt at management, and imprudently undertook heavy responsibilities, withoat having secured tangible assistance in the event of failure. A disastrous season, coupled with the crippled state of his resources, speedily involved him in difficulties, with which he has heen vainly struggling ever since. The only course which now remains to Mr. Mathews is to pass through the Insolvent Court, and this course, disagreaable as it may be, is that of which ho immediately means to avail himself. THE LEGION Or lIONOIIII.—We are requested to state that in the list of names quoted from the Moniteur that of Lieutenant-Colonel E. A. Somerset, and the eleven following, should have been announced as belonging to the Rifle Brigade, and not to the 97th Regiment. FIRST DIVISION.

[ADVBRTISEMENT ]—Holloway's Pills are undeniably the finest medicine in the world for Bile and Indigestion. —ln all cases of deranged stomachs, determination of blood to the head, bile, sick headache, liver and stomach complaints, there is no medicine known that will give such immediate relief as these renowned pills ; young and old, rich and poor, patronise thew, and so many cures are effected by their use that their praise is sounded from the temperate clime to the frigid zone—in truth, persons who travel consider them a necessary requisite. —Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world ; at Professor Holloway's Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 30, Maiden•lane, New York ; by A. Stamps, Constantinople; A. Guidicy, Smyrna; and E. Muir, Malta, - rejoined the Indians, by whom he was crowned with fresh laurels. I recollect on one occasion finding him laid on the high road, with his face covered with his hands. He appeared to have been crying, and was not affected with liquor. I have seen him in Aberford on horseback, when he was pricking the horse's back with a nail. He once said he had been in the country, and had seen parties reaping corn, and he would not be be hind everybody. He started to reap a field of green bar ley, and he cut about as acre. With reference to a farm which he formerly occupied, and which he was anxious to again take, the prisoner said he had em ployed a wizard to work upon the feelings of the steward. I never liked to cross him ; he could not bear it, so I did not contradict or make any observation to him. He once produced the same magic apparatus, a saucer, some gunpowder, liquid in a bottle, and lighted a piece of paper to set fire to the composition, w hereupon we want out of the house. Thi s t oo k place at his own house, in the presence of a neighbouring farmer. My opinion of the prisoner is that he is a person of unsound mind, and I never bad a doubt on the subject. Cross-examined by Mr. Overend.—l was at a public house along with the wizard, when the prisoner talked romantically. He talked of the formation of man, and said he could have made man much better. He referred to a mason, and said if he had had him to make he would have pleuea tne tali of his legs in front, so that he could not kick his shins in going up a ladder. By the Judge.—l have no doubt that the prisoner is of unsound mind. He certainly had some intelligence, and I have no doubt he would know it was wrong to steal or murder. When he told me the story about the Indians, I thought it the most likely place for him. He told me in such a manner as induced me to believe him. Mr. Jahn Noble examined by Mr. Bliss—l am the go vernor of York Castle. The prisoner was brought here on the 17th of March. I produce a letter addressed to Harrison by the prisoner, which I received from a pri soner named Robinson, who was confined where he could communicate with the prisoner. Mr. Bliss put in the letter, and Mr, Overend objected to its reception. Mr. Jenkins was then called, and he proved the letter to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Noble's examination continued—Afterwards I caused the prisoner to be searched, in consequence of something I heard. One of the officers brought me two papers found on the prisoner. I also produce a letter written by the prisoner to the schoolmaster of the prison. The Clerk of Arraigns then read the letters, which are referred to in Mr. Bliss's speech for the defence. Mr. Noble's examination continued—l told the ma gistrates about the letters, and asked their advice. Copies of the letters were forwarded to the authorities, and copies were given to the prosecution. Both parties were supplied with copies. Cross-examined by Mr. Overend—There was another document taken from the prisoner at the same time as the letter addressed to the devil was taken from him. Dr. Caleb Williams, of York, examined by Mr. Hall— I am the medical attendant of the Friends' Retreat, at York, and have been so for 30 years. I have turned my attention to insanity, with respect to the commission of crime. I have examined the prisoner, and consider him of unsound mind. The evidence I have heard in this court confirms that conclusion. The commission of crime and suicide is frequently traceable to insanity, arising from a desire to imitate. The facts proved as to the prisoner's conduct confirm me in my opinion as to his insanity. I have beard the evidence of Harrison, and heard the letter to him to torment prisoner's wife. Look ing at these letters I should say that the letter to the devil is not simulated—that letter appears to be written in blood. The prisoner told me it was written under satanic influence. From the conversation I had with bim about that letter I should say that the prisoner is not sane. I have no doubt that the delusion about the devil was real. I believe it was genuine. With respect to the incantation spoken of by a witness this morning, I believe that was connected with the prisoner's delusion as to supernatural agency. As to the letter of the schoolmaster declaring the prisoner's sanity, I would remark that it is very common for insane persons to imagine themselves to be of perfectly sound mind. Talking to everybody the prisoner met with about strychnine is an indication of feebleness of mind. Persons who are liable to attacks of insanity will exhibit a tendency to drink. From what I have seen and heard of this case I do not think that the prisoner has the power of controlling the emotions and passions. There would be periods when he would have control over none. The shooting of the cat indicated an uncontrollable im pulse to injure or destroy life. Seeing he could not in jure his servant on that occasion, he shot the cat. The effect of strictly sober diet would be to induce a man like the prisoner to a calm condition, and then it would be quite possible for him to write a sensible letter. During the week in which his wife was attacked his mind would probably be influenced by his notions as to supernatural influence, and therefore he would be sub ject to illusions. A person labouring under such illusions might retain his power of judgment as to the application of means to an end in a particular instance. He would have no power of resisting any impulse while labouring under such illusions. Cross examined by Mr. Overend—l have not a strong objection to capital punishments on religions grounds. Ido not believe them to be wrong. I do not know of any recorded case of an insane man committing murder by the administration of poison at several times, over a space of a week or more. Destroying life by poison is not common among insane persons. Assuming it as a fact that the prisoner administered poison to Mrs. Dove six or seven times, I should say he was suffering under an un controllable propensity to destroy or take life. • It might be for a time a permanent con dition of the mind, arising from a constant desire to injure a particular object. I think a person under such circumstances would not know that he was doing wrong, when he said to Mr. Morley, "Do you think I should be so cruel as to poi son my wife V' If such a person knew he was doing wrong he might fear the consequences. He would know he would be punished if found out. He would probably know that he was breaking the law. He might know that punishment would follow. If he committed murder under the propensity spoken of, he would not know at the time that he would be hanged. I found that opinion upon the fact of the mind being fully occupied by the in sane propensity. He would certainly know that he would be hanged before he did it, and he might know after. He would do it secretly, because he might be hindered. A propensity of that kind generally acts with out notice. It is one of the tests of the propensity that the party seeks no escape, or delivers himself up into custody, or acknowledges his not,lt. The propensity may come on suddenly. It may come on slowly, and last for a consider able time. Supposing a man to be of a cruel character, quarrelling with his wife, wishing to get rid of her, and carrying out his intention, that would be a vice in the abstract, not a delusion. If a man of a cruel disposi tion nourished a feeling to get rid of his wife till it grew into a desire to kill, I call that an insane propensity. In all such cases where a man acquires a propensity to kill, he is no longer able to control the propensity, and is insane. Overend—lf a person hated his wife and deter mined to kill her, and did kill her, what is the difference between the determination which you say is a vice, and commission of murder, which you say is an insane pro pensity ?—That is too difficult a question for me to an wer. Mr. Overend—ln the 'case of theft is there such a thing as a disposition to thieve ?—There is. Mr. Overend—lf a person desire to obtain anything belonging to another person and dwells upon the desire till he steals it, and does steal it, what do you call that ? —I call it an indication of moral insanity which renders the party irresponsible. I take a belief in sorcery to be an indication of a very weak mind ; so also of all super stitious beliefs which are entertained by persons of in ferior education. I should infer that every man who be lieves in spiritual writings, in spirit rappings, and such like, was a man of weak mind. Talking as the prisoner (lid about strychnia, was an indication of a feeble mind. I assume that he knew he had poisoned his wife, and therefore he talked the more about strychnia. Re-examined by Sergeant Wilkins—lf a person mani fested cruelty from his chiidhood, and an utter disregard of the opinioes of those around him, and of punishment, I should say he was of very unsound mind. Cunning and ability aro often found in the case of insane persons. Patients in an asylum, for instance, will attempt to es cape, and sometimes it is found that the laying down of their plane has occupied them several days. Having heard the whole of the prisoner's antecedents, an4from what I have heard from the witnesses in this case, I should certainly consider him to be insane, and not fit to be abroad. I should have no difficulty in signing a certificate for his confinement in an asylum. By the judge—lt depended upon the length of time that a person broods over some supposed wrong, whether, if he committed murder, I should consider him insane or not. In reference to shooting the cat, I should not say if several persons had come up he would have shot one og e them. A policeman would have had a deterring and toning influence upon him. When I used the word "uncontrollable," I meant not controllable by those in luences which ordinarily operate upon the mind. A •erson might know that he was doing wrong before and titer he poisoned his wife ; but I think that at the me .nent he put the poison ito the glass his mind would be so occupied with the prevailing propensity that he would not know that he was doing wrong, and that he would be hanged if detected. A sane man at the same time that he strikes a murderous blow or mixes a poisonous draught would have the consequences of his actions pre• sent in his mind. By Mr. Bliss—A lunatic detected by his keeper when about to perpetrate some mischief would be deterred and controlled. Dr. Pyernout Smith, of Leeds, examined by Mr. Bliss lam the proprietor of a lunatic asylum at Leeds. I have paid attention to the subject of insanity 15 or 16 years. Having heard the whole of the testimony in this aase,. I am of opinion that the prisoner is of unsound to kill his wife. By the Judge—l think he would know that he was doing wrong in proportion as he knew right from wrong. By the Jury—l adopt the theory of previous medical witnesses in general terms. I do not adopt it in reference to the fatal week. I account for the murder, if the pri soner committed it, on different principles. By Mr. Sergeant Wilkins.—l think we have here a man of originally deficient mental powers, and a man else who is insane, and this condition would render him liable to commit any absurd, irrational, cruel, vicious, malignant action that presented itself to his mind. Ido not apply the term vicious or malignant as regards mo tive. Considering the whole circumstances of this case, and the prisoner's conduct throughout life, the catas trophe which has happened is just what might have been expected. By Mr. Overend.—l question if he would think that he had violated the law if he had committed murder, or it be stole. I think this was not impulsive madness alone. It was partly impulsive. If the prisoner thought of the deed before he committed it, he would know he was doing wrong to the extent I have before described. Most likely he would know it to be a violation of the law to take life. It is impossible for me to say whether he knew be was doing wrong at the moment he poi soned his wife, if he did do it. I cannot tell whether he would know a short time before the deed and after that he was about to commit murder and had committed murder. lam not prepared to say that he would not know he was doing wrong at the moment he put the poison into the glass. The same answer applies to each alleged administration of strychnine. By Mr. Sergeant Wilkins.—We have not a dangerous ward in our retreat, but they have one in some asylums. I should expect to find some impulsive patients in the dangerous ward, but not a great number. The keepers have a great deterring influence over patients, but they are not now allowed to exercise that influence upon their fears. If the patients wore left in a room without a keeper, I should ex pect each to follow his own inclination. There is a madness which exhibits itself in a propensity to kill. If a stranger were left alone in a room with a patient af fected with such madness, I should expect the patient to exercise his propensity and to kill him, though his keeper might have him perfectly under his control. In my opinion the 'prisoner was insane during the fatal week. The patient would be restrained by his keeper probably from a fear of some chastisement. This concluded the case for the defence, when the court, at 10 minutes to one o'clock, adjourned for re freshment. As on previous days the prisoner again made a hearty lunch. Mr. Overend, at 20 minutes past one o'clock, rose to reply upon the case for the defence. His duty, he said, was a very plain and simple one. His learned friend had not disputed that poison had caused the death, but he had suggested that it might be a matter of accident ; and, secondly, that if the prisoner did the deed inten tionally, he was in his right mind. He had adopted a double line of defence. He would not say that this ra ther showed that his learned friend had no confidence in either ; but he would say that it compelled him (Mr. Overend) to meet both branches of the case, in order to satisfy the jury that a murder had been committed, and also to satisfy them that his learned friend had not es tablished his case. He would address himself to the question of insanity in the first instance. His learned friend had started that theory, and had called a host of witnesses to establish "the proposition. He (Mr. Over end) had looked at those witnesses, and had heard their statements, and when he had himself thought over what was the issue which they were going to try, he had cer tainly wondered at the kind of witnesses his learned friend had called, and the kind of testimony he bad given ; but he had marvelled more at the witnesses he had not called. What was the issue they were to try ! The issue they were to try was whether that man, the prisoner, was of sane mind from the 25th of February to the 21st of March ; and his learned friend had gone and called a host of witnesses to speak to facts which took place twenty years ago. If his learned friend had wanted to establish the fact, did not the jury think it would have been fairer to the prosecution and to the jury if be had cross-ex amined the witnesses whom he (Mr. Overend) called, and who knew what was the conduct of the prisoner at the time in question. Should they not have thought he ought to have cross-examined the housemaid as to his acts of insanity during the time she was there ? But his learned friend dared not put a question to her on the subject. The prisoner's mother-in-law was there during the fatal week. Did his learned friend put a question to her as to the prisoner's conduct ? He left it dark, undisclosed, unrevealed, and he did not put a question to her upon the matter. Witness after witness had been called that had been with prisoner day by day, and visited with him, and his learned friend had them in the box and never put a question to them. Mrs. Whitham had been in the house day by day, week by week, month by month ; she had seen him, and had heard from his wife about his character and conduct ; she was examined and cross-examined. His learned friend could have asked her whether there was anything like insanity, anything like excitement or want of re sponsibility, in the prisoner when she saw him; but she was allowed to go out of the box without a single question being asked her upon the subject. His learned friend then brought doctors into the box. Doctors ! But he did not bring doctors. Where where the doc tors who ought to have been called ? Dr. Morley—the man who attended the prisoner's wife, his family, and who knew whether there was any particular disposition to insanity in the family. Dr. Morley was put into the box, but his learned friend never asked him a question on the subject. Did that look like con fidence in this case ? There was Dr. Morley, who saw the prisoner day by day, who attended him in his childhood, who knew all his family, who was intimate with him, who had been in court and was in court at that moment, and who, if the prisoner had been an insane man, must have known him to be so. Not withstanding the evidence of Dr. Williams, Dr. Smith, and Dr. Kitching, his learned friends never dared to put it to Dr. Morley as to whether the prisoner was sane or insane during the week in question. Neither had Mr. Scarth, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Noble (governor of York Castle) nor the surgeon of the gaol been asked as to whe ther they considered the conduct of the prisoner that of a man of unsound mind ; but the jury were asked to go back for years, and upon the speculations of such gen tlemen as Dr. Williams to come to the conclusion that the prisoner was insane. The doctrine which bad been propounded by Dr. Williams, Dr. Smith, and Mr. Kitching was a dangerous one. If such a doctrine was to prevail, away all punishment. Vice would reign no longer. It would be nothing but insanity to commit a crime. A man had only to commit an act of atrocity, and for Dr. Williams to say that he was insane in order to escape the consequences of his criminality. After re peating that the learned counsel for the defence had not called the witnesses they ought to have called, Mr. Over end proceeded to comment upon the evidence of the pri soner's conduct in boyhood and youth, and observed that it was an index to vice, and not insanity. That the pri soner was a bad boy he did not deny. He should expect that a man who had committed so deliberate a murder as this would be a bad boy. The learned counsel suggested that the evidence produced for the defence was the result of an afterthought, to rescue the prisoner from his peril. There were witnesses who had not been called whose evi dence would have been important, and there had been witnesses called whose evidence was unimportant. There was Mr. Markhara's steward. Where was Mr. Markham's steward Was there anything to show that the prisoner did not manage his farm like other people ? He had challenged his friend to call the doctor who had attend ed the prisoner's wife. He would not call him, and why ? Me was a doctor who had seen the prisoner day by day, and his friends had called doctors who had never seen the prisoner before. They had called doctors who had formed an opinion upon exaggerated statements, and having heard those statements, they said he was in sane. Did the jury believe that Mrs. Jenkins would have allowed a man to marry her daughter who was in sane ? He visited the daughter, the mother had long examined his character and would the mother have allowed the daughter for a moment to have continued in his custody, and under his protection Would his own father have allowed bim to have brought to his home a young woman to whom he was likely to do any damage ! The thing was impossible. Look at his acts and conduct, and then he (Mr. Overend) would ask the jury whether there was any justification for the defence which had been set up ? As to the pricking the horse with the nail, it was the act simply of a drunken man, and nothing more. The learned counsel alluded to other circumstances referred to in the evidence for the de fence, and contended that there was no ground for sup posing that the prisoner was a man of unsound mind. Then as to the shooting, if the prisoner had shot at his father and at himself, it would have been something, but he would say that the accused bad the most perfect con trol over himself. It was a grand bravado on his part, amid it ended in nothing—not even in smoke. It bad been shown that the prisoner knew it was perfectly wrong to steal and to murder, and there was no doubt he was queer and eccentric, and given to habits o f intemperance, and that when drunk he did many foolish things; but that was not to say that he was i nsa ne. It wasbecause be was in peril—it was because his life was in danger that this theory is brought up, which was au afterthought brought to rescue him front the scaffold. It was very easy to get up a speculation after the event, but why did not the parties come forward at the time to say w . hat was the state of his mind 3 Why did they associate with him as d sane than ? They dealt with him as though he wits a responsible person, and the lear ned counsel called upon the jury not to let it be said that the prisoner had wealthy friends, echo were enabled to bring forward person s t o g ive speculative opinions about him, and not to let it be propagated to the country that he ehohld bo spared his proper due merely because he might happen to occupy a higher position than some other persons. He submitted that there was not a single witness to indicate that the prisoner had not the most pt.:l.feet possession of his faculties. He argued that none of the doctors called on the part of the prisoner agreed in their evidence—that Dove being guilty, a verdict of guilty mutt be pronounced—and that only let the doc trine propounded for the defence be established, and there would be no safety for any one, for it was a mon strous doctrine. lie asked the jury whether there was anything like impulse connected with this creme. Mr. 0 verend also contended that Mrs, Dove died of strych nie, that there could not be any doubt that she died from the administration of the strychnia last obtained by the prisoner, that the letters he had written displayed in telligence, and that Dove had written the letter to the devil to induce the belief that he was suffering from de lusions. There was another letter found at the same time, and his learned friend dared not produce it. It was an evidence of wicked design on his part, he was feigning insanity, and he feigned it still more ; he wrote a letter to the schoolmaster to show he was not feigning. Having gone through the whole of the facts, Mr Overend said he had now gone through the case, he hoped temper ately, though it might be promptly. He had made no attempt on this occasion to mislead the judgments of the jury, but he was bound to lay before them the facts to show the prisoner had a hatred towards hie wile, that he had a motive for what he did, that he laid plans for the accomplishment of her death, that he went on day after lay administering the poison, produc ing those dreadful agonies which resulted iu death, that he put off the post mortem examin ation as lon g as he could, and there were evidences of arrangements and d . e liberation which rejected and renounce d all idea of in sanity. He had now done his duty, and the jury had a duty to perform. That they could doubt the prisoner caused the death of his wife he could not imagine. As to the other point it was for the jury t o decide, and if they did not believe it had been made o ut satisfactorily that the prisoner was not aware of the turpitude of his own acts, and not fully aware of the ser ies of acts of poison ing attributed to him, then i t would be their bounden duty to find him guilty. Public justice demanded —the social hearth of every man demanded, that the prisoner, if he had committed this dreadful murder, and was of sound mind, should be brought to justice ; but if they believed he was insane at the time of the murder, they would find him not guilty on the ground of insanity. He called upon the jury to discharge their duty faithfully, and return such a verdict as in their consciences they believed to be right, and in doing that they would not only have the satisfacdon of themselves, but the approve' of the country. THE JUDGE'S SUMMING UP. Mr. Baron Bramwell commenced his summing up at four o'clock. He began by commenting upon the solemnity of the duty which the jury had to perform. He joined in the recommendation of counsel on both sides, that the jury should dismiss from their minds all prejudice and all preconceived opinions formed upon what they might have heard or read upon the subject of the fearful charge preferred against the prisoner. The question would be, did the deceased die from the effects of strychnia ? Did the prisoner administer it ? And was his state of mind when he did it such as to exempt him from the consequences which would other wise follow the act? If the prisoner was conscious that the act he committed was one he ought not to commit, and was contrary to the law of the land, he was punishable. With regard to delusions, the law was the same. If a man acted under delusions in one respect, and was in other respects of sound mind, he must be regarded as though he were not suffering under such de lusion. For instance, we have heard of people who have imagined that a portion of their body was made of glass. Suppose that such a person wee wilfully and deliberately to waylay another, and rob him of his pro perty, it would be unreasonable that such a man should escape punishment. His lordship then proceeded to read over the whole of the evidence commenting upon the most prominent passages. Upon the jury devolved a duty which, on the one hand, involved the life of the prisoner, and on the other hand the interests of society at large. If they returned a verdict of guilty against a man who was innocent, they would do him a serious wrong ; if they, for fear of consequences to him, returned a verdict of acquittal while he was guilty, they would be doing a serious wrong to the public. It was difficult to say which was the greater evil—that of pronouncing an innocent man guilty, or that of sending back to the world one who bad been guilty of a crime so serious— so monstrous—as that which was alleged against t he prisoner, the accusation against him being that he had committed wilful murder, while the defence was that he was not guilty—or that if he was guilty, he was in a state of insanity, which rendered him irresponsible for his actions. The jury need not trouble themselves with a definition of what was a murder, because, if the pri soner administered the poison, he was guilty of murder, unless he was in a state of mind that would prevent his being amenable for his acts. Every man is supposed to be sane until the contrary is proved. To establish the defence on the ground of insanity, it must be proved that the party was, at the time of the commission of the crime, labouring under such a defect of reason and disease of the mind as not to know the consequences of his acts, or, if he did know them, that he did not know that he was doing wrong. If the prisoner did know the consequences of his acts, and that they were contrary to the law of the laud, he was punishable for his acts. Ac curding to the law of the land, as laid down by the highest authorities, to exempt a man from the penal con sequences of his actions, those actions being contrary to law, the jury must be of opinion that at the time he did the act he was not conscious that the act was one he ought not to do. Even if the prisoner had had some wrong done to him, that would not justify him in taking life. He must suffer for it. Punishment was adminis tered not merely in reference to what had been already done, but a man was punished for the purpose of cor recting him, and to hold out example to other people. If they punished a man who (lid not know that he had done wrong, what example would that give to him or to other people ? The people would say that they had pu nished a man who did not know he had done wrong, and, instead of being a warning, it would be a positive public injury. But if they punished a man wh ose evil propensities had led him to commit crime, they not only were taking a course to arrest him in his evil path, but were also deterring others who were labouring under a similar propensity. Hence, if a man had a weak mind l i and strong animal propensities, and they did not pun e ish of him for the wrong he had done, they to ok away on. the first and greatest means for preventing from dui wrong. Again, with regard to the medicalevh evidence ol the prosecuti on , hi e lordship observe d that it ad been proved to demonstration that the deceased haddiedfrom a dose of strychnine. A question might arise, how did she die? The jury might nut be able to make up their mints as to what the first attacks were, whether or not they ai ose from hysteria. But it was important for them sow to make up their minds as to what was the cause of the last attack, and whether it was possible that the deceased might have taken the strychnine that had caueea her death — the sixth dose—accidentally. On the other hand they might have reason to supp me that five of the doses were accidental, and the sixth and last not accidental. His lordship went on to comment upon th e mi s c ellaneous evide nce, and having concluded his re view of the case for the prosecution, he proposed an ad journment for a short time, to which the jury acceded. On resuming his seat, his lordship proceeded to review the evidence for the defence, commenting upon the mate rial portions of it as he proceeded.. Referring to the style of the prisoner's communications to his friends, dec., their coherency, their conciseness, and their grammatical accuracy, he asked the jury whether they could believe that a man wh o p ossessed only a glimmering of intellect, and who was nearly an idiot, could have been the author. He must make one remark upon the evidence which had been called to prove the prisoner's insanity. It was rather strange that the defence should have proved so much with regard to the prisoner's conduct years ago, while not a question on the subject of his sanity or insanity had been asked of those witnesses who saw him during the whole period in which the attacks upon Mrs. Dove, which terminated in her death, occurred. Coming to the medical evidence for the defence, the learned judge reviewed the various facts and incidents that had been advanced in justification of the opinion that the prisoner was insane, and consequently irrespon sible for his acts. He criticised with some severity the theory which had been propounded by Dr. Williams, Mr. Kitching, and Dr. P. Smith, and pointed out the fearful state of affairs that would arise from the adoption of such a theory. His lordship dwelt particularly upon the circumstance that the medical man who attended the prisoner's own family had not been asked a question by the defence as to prisoner's insanity, and he suggested that the inference was obvious, namely, that they antici pated an answer adverse to the proposition that the pri soner was insane. With respect to the letters written by prisoner after his committal to York Castle, his lordship remarked that they were open to suspicion. If they were honest they might be taken as evidence of the prisoner's insanity ; but if they were dishonest, and written with a n intention of assisting the defence which he knew would be set up on his behalf, than they were strong evi dence of his intelligence and soundness of mind. In conclusion, his lordship told the jury they must consider well the facts of the case, and then decide whether in their judgment and according to their belief the prisoner was conscious when he committed this murder—sup posing he did commit it—that he was doing that which was wrong and contrary to the law. He urged them to consider well before they pronounced their verdict, and having reminded them of their solemn responsibility, he requested them to retire. The charge occupied nearly six hours. The jury re tired at five minutes past 10 o'clock, and returned into court at 20 minutes before 11, with a verdict of guilty of murder, to which they added a recommendation to mercy on the ground of a defective intellect. SENTENCE OF DEATH. Mr. Baron Bramwell then assumed the black cap, and proceeded to pass sentence. He said the prisoner at the bar had been found guilty of the crime laid to his charge —the crime of murder ; and lie had been found guilty, moreover, upon evidence which could p resen t no doubt to the mind of any reasonable per son . M ur d er was a fearful, crime in ail its pastes ; but in the case of the prisoner it was a crime of the very worst possible de scription, he having destroyed his wife, whom he had sorn to cherish and p reserve . Th e d ea dly means, too, of which he had availed himself for the perpetration of this offence—the means of the most deadly poison—wan ihanything, an aggravation of his crime. The jury, in his lordship's judgment, had done their duty to their country and to th e i r own consciences in finding the pri soner guilty. They had also done their duty in rejecting .the defence that had been set up in the .prisoner's be- half, that he was in such a state of mind as not to be re sponsible for his actions. They appeared to have no doubt on that .uhj -et ; at the, same time they -had shown their anxiety to discharge., their duty with the greatest impartiality and fairia-,,5, try yielding in some de gree to that not uonatural impulse it had suggested to their minds the propriety of such a recommendation as that with which they had accompanied their verdict. That recommendation he promised the prisoner should he for warded to the proper quarter. At present he bad only one duty to perform, which was to pass upon the pri soner, not his own sentence, but the sentence of the law. He warned the prisoner not to flatter himself with the expectation that the recommendation of the jury could be concurred in by the Secretary of State, Lut rather to anticipate that the solemn sentence of the lsw he V 135 about to pronounce would be carried into effect. The prisoner had but a short time to Jive, and be recom mended him to employ it in preparitmg himselt for were fate which the l aw bad a pp ointed for all men whowere found guilty of such foul crimes as he Lad committed. His lordship had no doubt from what he had heard that the prisoner hail a capacity, an admirable capacity, for the attainment of religious knowledge, and he besought him now to employ the short space of time that remaine d to him in the most profitable way he could employ it, viz., that of receiving and paying his best attention to the spiritual advice a nd assistance that would beg ivon to him. Do not ( s a id his lordshi p in conclusion) cerisi% hopes that may turn out to be delusive, but prepare yourself for the worst—the carrying out the sentence of the law, which is, that you be removed hence to the pl a ce whence you came, that yo u be thence conveyed to a place of execution, there t o be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and that afterwards your body be taken down and buried within the precincts o f the pri son in which you have been confined. And may the Lord have mercy on your soul I When the prisoner was brought to the bar to ho t : the verdict, he walked with a lively step, and appearea calm and composed ; but on hearing the verdict he be came pale. When the usual question was put vsbet!r, he had anything to say why sentence of death shout: not be passed, the prisoner uttered the words " have only one thing," and was evidently prepared to offer some remarks, but hesitated, and his lordship, who A r peared not to have heard him, proceeded with the tence, during the delivery of which the prisoner rem ed silent and attentive. After the sentence was passed, some of the turnkers. approached the prisoner to remove him from ta d it at first he appeared reluctant to mo ve away, as If id wished to make some statement. H e, however, said nothing, and after a slight hesitation he turned, anu n walked away with a somewhat faltering step ad aPP e ' rent confusion. The court was densely crowded when the verdict an a sentence were delivered, f o r the The trial occupied the attention of th e court space of 42 hours—extending over four da y s. The oellrt adjourned on Saturday night, at 55 min utes past ten. d As far as we could learn the result of t he trial apPsere give general satisfaction to the public.
