The LORD CHANCELLOR tous his seat on the woohack at five o'clock. Lord LEIGH presented a petition from Birmingham in favour of the 0 Iths 13141. Lord WINC'HELSEA. presented petitions against the bill. Earl The Marquis of Lansdowne,GranviaP, Earl Foiteßeue, Earl of Albemarle, and Lord Brougham pre• Booted petitions in favour of the removal of Jewish Disa bilities. _ _ OATHS BILL. Earl GRANVILLE, before moving the second read ing of this bill, moved that the oaths of abjuration now taken by their lordships should be read by the clerk of the house. Mr. EDMONDS, the Clerk of the House, then read the oath of abjuration. The Earl of GRANVILLE then moved the second reading of the bill, and said it devolved upon him to discharge a duly which he felt was one of great difficulty. He was afraid he should be accused of presump tion in re-introducing a subject on which an opi nion had been so recently pronounced. The object of the bill was to amend the oaths now required to be taken— oaths which all their lordships bad taken, and which had just been read by the clerk—oaths which he believed to be incongruous and anomalous. It was proposed by the pre-ont measure to simplify and amend those oaths. He believed it was impossible to avoid coming to any other conclusion than that their lordships at present took an unnecessary oath, and thereby com mitted a most serious offen'e by taking the nasse of God in vain. The oath which it was proposed to &bullish was that in, which they swore to protect the Crown from a family which all knew no longer ex;sted. (Hear.) That a‘ as a vain oath i and therefore ought not to be taken. There was no doubt a eollaterr.l advantage to be obtained by the proposed measure, namely, the admission of Jews to Parliament, which they had hitherto been deprived of doing owing to their conscientious scruples. He did not think it fair or just that they should apply the accidental addition of certain words to the oath to the purpose of excluding the Jews from Parliament. He had no hesitation in characterising such a proceeding to be a system of per aecution which was intolerable, as it was set against a section of the population 'which was distinguished . for their loyalty to the Sovereign, for their conscien tious adherence to their roligi:us opinions, and for all the qualifications which constituted good citi zens. He cadad upon their lordships to sanction this measure nu the ground of toleration, on the ground of right, because he believed it contrary to the Constitu• Lion to. exolude persons from the exercise of their civil rights on account of their religious opinions. He was utterly at a loss to understand why the . admission of a few Jews to Parliament, sent there by purely Chris-. tian constituencies, could in the slightest degree uncuris tianise the Legislature—(hear, hear)—and he there fore trusted that their lordship would not allow themselves to be led away by that specious cry. So far from the admission of the Jews unchris tianising the Legieltture, he was quite of the contrary opieion ; he thought it would largely strengthen both its principles and character, by displaying the utmost toleration towards our Jewish brethren. Tue noble lord then proceenled to answer the ohj2ctions that had been raised against the principle involved in the- bill, and warned their 1 rdships against being moved by a spi it of independence ef the other house in vc,tiug against this bill. He then referred to the distiogni bed support which the measure obtained, and maid he firmly believed that the people of England were in favour cf the bill. OUT SPEAKING HOUSE OF CONLIONS—( rhis Evening.) The SPILMER took the chair at 4 o'clock. FRANKLIN EXPEDITION. Mr. lIOItSFALL moved tor an4icidress for copies of meincrials hnd addreues relating to the Franklin Expe dition which have been recently trantuaitted to the Go vernment, or to the First Lard of the Treasury, from the merchants of New York, the Royal Irish Academy, the Royal Dublin Society, and other public bodies.— Azreed to. IRISH MILITIA REGIMENTS. Lord C. HAMILTON asked the Under Secretary for War if he could state to the house whether it was intended to call out the Irish militia regiments for train ing during the ensuing autumn ? Sir J, RAMSDEN said it was not the intention of the (iovernment to call ouc any regiment of the Irish militia this year, Toe rule it was intended to follow was not to call out any of the regiments embodied during the late war. INDIA. Mr. NOEL asked the Und:.r Secretary for War whether the Government would give to those of her Mr.jesty's Officers who were ordered to rej )in their regi ments in India before the expiration of their leave, on account of the mutiny in that country, a free passage, or whether they would be compelled to return there at their.° wn expense. • Sir J. RAIYISDEN said that the subject was at pre sent under the consideration of the War Office and the India Board. I.lv was tut4da then to give an answer to the question. PROBATES, &c, BILL. Sir J. TROLLOPE asked the Attorney-General, if after calm rsflection, he intended to proceed with the probates and letters of administration bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the ques tion did not require calm consideratio6, and he thought it was answered by the paper containing the order for to-night. (Hear, hear.) It was proverbial that the House of Commons was not obstinate, and he thought they would not obstinately adhere to the deci sion come to on a former night with reference to the bill. (Laughter.) CHINA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury the follow ing questioLs, let, Whether any recent intelligence had been received as to the position and proceedings of her Majesty's forces ? 2dly, Whether her Majesty's Government had sent out any instructions, empowering the Indian Government to divert from their destination the troops which had been sent from this country to Chinl, and employ them in India ? 311 y, If no such instructions had been sent, whether it were true that ,the Governor-Gene ral of India bad, of his own authority, acting under the pressure` of events in that country, sent orders to Ceylon that the forces sent from this country to China, were, on their arrival at Ceylon, to proceed to I n di a ? And, fourthly, whether her Majesty's Government were prepared to state, in the event of its being intend e d 0- at the troops sent to Cuina should be immediately em ployeil in India, what course they proposed to take for strengthening the British Forces in China Sir C. WOOD, in the absence of the First Lord of the Treasury, said that when the last advises left China on 10th May, thugs remained very much in the same state, no further hostilities havingtAk!n place. The right hon. baronet, who was exceedingly indistfuct, was tin. derstood to answer the other question in the negative. SUPPLY. ILLO,UaGndliwßhYenasNkeod. 7, w miscellaneous esti hat branch of th e estimates it was intended to take in co m mittee of supply on S l% i l r o U nd . W ay night mates would be placed on the table of the house ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER eaid he would answer the question before the rising of the house. DIVORCE, &e., BILL. Mr. HENLEY asked if it w a3 the intention of the Government to proceed with the, divorce, &0., bill on Monday ? Sir C. WOOD—Certainly not on Monday night. • TRANSMISSION OF TROOPS TO INDIA. On the neteion for the adjournment of the house ti. President of o n f o the m ni e ßoard sty i s Monday, of Captain coitrol V wh lV et l n A er N ft asked the edthe intention Government to send the troop which' were about to embark for India in sailing ship s? lier. V. SMITH said that arra n g ements were made before the disastrous news w as received from India for sending out 10,000 troo p s to ladia for the purposes cf relief --in sailing vessels. They wouli proceed this inobtlito their destination. When the news arrived. from India, the East India Company applied to the Government f)r 4,000 additional troops, and it bad been arranged to seed 2,000 of them out in screw vessels, and 2,000 in sailing vessels. Su. C. NA.PIER regretted the Government had sent any of the troops by sailing vessels to India. The subject then dropped. DISTRIBUTION OF MEDALS. • Colonel NORTH asked the Under Secretary of War when the Turkish Order of the Medjidi, the Sardinian Military Medal, and the Turkish Medal for officers and men are to be distributed to those entitled to them ? Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the Government of this country had done all that was required of them in rela tion to the Turkish Order. The Sardinian medals were in the hands of the' Adjutant-General for immediate distribution. Sir W. CODRINGTON expressed regret at, so much delay in reference to the distribution of these medals. THE RUSSIAN TARIFF. Mr. J. L. RICARDO asked the Vice President of the Board of Trade - whether the Government had any knowledge of the' details °Me revised tariff of Russia, and, if so, whether they would ley them' upon the table of the house ? Mr. LO WE said, that he had received some account of the change alluded to, but it was in too imperfect• a state to lay on the table of the house. As soon as he received full information on the question he would lay it on the table of the house. NEWSPAPER SECURITIES. Mr. AYRTON tidied whether it was the intention of Government to continue the prosecution pro the publisher of the Bury Times, and to abstain from psecuting the publisher of the Free Press, and all other newspapers a and pemphlets published without compliance with the statutes relating to security and registration I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government intended to proceed with the pro secution of the Bury Times, and that they would pro ceed in a similar manner against all newspapers that did not comply with the statutory enactments respecting security and registration of newspapers. The Free Press alluded to was not considered to be a newspaper, and no proceedings would be taken against it. COLONIA L LABOUR. Mr. TURNER asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether any communication had taken place between Jtil. Y 10, t 157, th 4 English and French Governments respecting the ex norts of negroes iron the West Coast cf Africa to the French Colonies in the West Indies ; and whether he was aware in what manner the negroes were to be ob tained. E. BUXTON called the attention of the G iverr ment to the emigration cf negroes to the Isle of Bourbon. Lard PALMERSTON said that the Government were aware of the French Government being engaged in transporting negroes 'from the West Coast of Mafia to the French c conies. and confidentisl, communication had been made to the French Government relative to the matter. The French Government hal assured her Ma jeety's Governinent that it was their anxious desire that the arrangements they bad made for procuring neer° labour should not lead t 3 the revival of the slave trade—indeed that every precaution had been taken to prevent it. It would be the duty of her Majesty's Govern ment to obtain all theinformation they could. and if neces sary, call the attention of the French Government to any breach cf the regulations laid down by them in reference to the emigration of free negroes. The free negroes of Aft ica w ere averse to emigrating, and hethoughttheFrench Government would have some difficulty in obtaining really free emigrants. He mild not believe that the French Government, having aboligh'ed the slave-trade, would do anything that would lead to its revival. Ir re ply to Sir N. F. Buxton, the noble lord said thatber Ma jesty's Government had received information, though not authentic of the emigration of negroes from the east coast of Africa to the Isle of Bourbon, bnt be was not in a poritien to state the extent to which it had gone or in what manner the negroes had been obtained. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to, PROBATE AND LETTERS. OF ADMINISTRA _ _ TION OF WILLS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE—Ciais EveuinEr.)

The High Court of Justiciary met again at tea o'clock on Wednesday. a a The Dean of Faculty addreised the jury on be half of the prisoner. He slid—Gentlemen of the Jury--The charge against the prisoner is murder, en I the punishment of murder is death ; and that simple statement is sufficient to suggest to us the awful solemnity of the occasion which brings you an me face to face. But, gentleman, there are pe culiarities in the present case of se singular and strange a kind—there is such an air of romance and mystery invested about it from the beginning to tre end—there is something so touching in the age, the sex, and .he social position of the accused—aye, and I must add that public attention is so directed to this trial, that they watch our proceedings, an .t hang on our very accents with such anxiety and eagerness of expectation, that I feel almost bowed down and' overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task which is imposed on me. You are invited and encouraged by the prosecutor to snap the thread of this young life, and to eensign to an ignominious death on the scaffold one who within a few short months was known only as a gentle and confiding and affectionate girl—the ornament and pride of her happy family. Gentlemen, the tone in which my learned friend aidressed you yesterday could fail to strike you as Dust remarkable. It was chi,- racterisecl by great moderation—by such modera tion as I think must have convinced you that he could hardly expect a verdict at your hands, and in the course of that address—for which I give him the highest credit—he could not resist the expres sion of his own deep feeling of commiseration for the position which the prisoner was placed in, which was but au involuntary homage that the official prosecutor pays to the kind and generous nature of the man. But, gentlemen, I am going to ask you for something different from commise ration. lam going to ask for that which Iwi 1 not condescend t o beg, but will loudly and importu nately demand—that to which every prisoner is en titled, whether she be the lowest and vilest of her sex, or the maiden whose purity is of the unsullied show. I ask you for justice, and if you will kindly lend me your attention for the requisite period, and if Heaven will give me patience and strength for the task, I shall tear to tatters - that web of sophistry with which the prosecutor has striven to invest this poor girl and her sad, strange story. The Dean then referred to the first introduction of L'Angelier to the prisoner—au introduction made in the street in such a way as showed he could not procure it otherwise or elsewhere. He described him as an unknown adventurer, and, relating such parts of his earlier history as had been brought be fore them, he described his character as vain, con ceited, and pretentious, boastful of his personal at tractions, and ever courting the society of ladies above him in station, and endeavouring to push his fortune by means of marriage: He referred to his changeable and excitable character, and his frequent threat of suicide while suffering from disappoint ment in love. Returning to the commencement of the prisoner's acquaintance with L'Angelier, he said he thanked the Lord Advocate for his admis sion, that, at that time, though their correspondence was improper, because clandestine,, yet the let ters of the young lady breathed - nothing but gentleness and propriety. The correspondence, however, also showed that if L'Angelier had origi nally in his mind to corrupt and seduce this poor girl he ha l entered on the attempt with consider able ingenuity and skill. Their correspondence was apparently soon after dropped through the young lady's own sense if propriety, but in the spring of 1856 it was unhappily renewed, and it was but fair to suppose rather on the importunate en treaty of this young man than on the suggestion of the lady. The correspondence was for a time put, an end to by Mr. Smith, and for a time that inter ference had effect, but alas ! the next scene was the most painful of all. In the string of 1856 the cor rupting influence of the seducer was succe-sful, and the prisoner fell. How corrupting that influence must have been, and how vile the arts were to which he resorted for his nefarious pur pose, could never be known so well as tar , looking to the altered tone of this poor girl' b-tters. .She had lost not her virtue merely, but, as my learned friend said, her sense of decency. Wl:ose fault was that? Whose doing was it? Think you that, wi hunt temptation, without vile teach ing, a poor girl falls into those depths of degrada tioo ? No. Influence from without, most corrupt ing influence could alone account for such a fill. And yet, gentle:l:en, through the midst of this frightful correspondence, which I wish to God could have be, -, n concealed from your eyes and those of the public—and if it had not been, as my learned friend thought, absolutely necessary for the ends of justice that it shdull be produced, I feel satisfied be would not have done so—but even through the midst of this frightful correspondence there breathes a spirit of devoted love towards the man who wronged her that strikes me as most remarkable. Entering upon the case, the learned counsel re marked upon the little evidence that existed to prove that the parties had ever met in the house in Blythswood-square. From the 18th Nov. till the death of L'Angelier there were only two interviews proved to have taken place within the.house. From all her letters it appeared that the condition of getting access to the bonne depended upon the ab sence of her parents from home. "If M. and P. go from home I could take you in at the front door, and I won't let a chance pass." But that chance never came. The Lord Advocate seemed to say that there were some concerted signals by rapping at the window or on the railings with a stick in order to attract at teution. This you will find is an entire mistake. L'Angelier did on one or two occasions take that course, but the prisoner immediately for bade it, and ordered him not to do it again. In a letter which bears the postmark of Dec. 5, 1856, she says—" Darling, do not knock at the window;' and again in a postscript, "Remember, do not knock at the door," earnestly repeating this cau tion. Independent of their communications at the window, whatever they were, there were only two oocasious—namely, those of which Chris tina Haggart spoke, on which they were proved to have met within the house in Blythswood square at all. About this time it is quite obvi ous that they had it in view to accomplish an elopement. It was quite plain that the consent of Miss Smith's parents to her union with this young Frenchman was not to be thought of any longer, That hope was altogether gone, and accordingly there are constant references in the letters, about this time, to the arrangements that wore to be made for carrying her from her father's house and accomplishing a marriage either in Glasgow or Edinburgh. The opportunity for that, however, never came. The Dean then proceeded to say : We now arrive at a very important stage of this case. On the 28th Jan. the prisoner accepts Mr. Minnoch, and my learned friend says that from that time the whole chatacter of her mind was changed, and she set herself for the perpetration of one of the most cool and deliberate murders that ever was committed. I will not say that such al thing is absolutely impossible, but I do venture to say it is well nigh incredible. He will be a bold man who will seek to set limits to the depths of human depravity, but on that subject all past ex perience teaches us that the perfection even of de pravi,,y is not rapidly attained. It is not by such short, easy stages as the prosecutor has been able to trace in the career of Madeline Smith that a gentle, loving girl passes at once info the savage grandeur of a Medea or the appalling wickedness of a Borgia. No, gentlemen, such things are not possible. There must be a certain progress in guilt. It is quite out of all human experience to suppose that, from the tone of love in which the letters that had passed before were written, there should be' a sudden transition, I will not say to the loss of affection for one particular object, but to that savage desire of removing by any means the obstruction to her wishes which the prosecutor imputes to the prisoner. Think for a moment how foul and unnatural a murder is imputed to her — the murder of one who within a very short space was the object of her love—ah unworthy obje_ctq an unholy love ; but yet while i t lasted, and a endurance was not brief—it was a deep, devoted passion. Yet it is the object of this u passion t s Such r u surely, isteh e now said to conceive the murder of. theory you are asked to be l ieve ; b gen tlemen, before you believe it, you will ask for de monstration, you will not a con ented with con jecture or suspicion, and it will not be enough to say that the theory cf the prosecutor is the most probable that is offered to us. Oh, gentlemen, is that the manner in which the jury are to deal with suc h a case ? Is that the kind of yo u are to convict of a capital offence on which On the of February, on the 22d of February, and on the 22d March—for the prosecutor has now absolutely fixed on these dates—the •prisoner is charged with administering poison to the deceased. Observe, he does not ask you to suppose merely that by some means or other the prisoner conveyed poison to L'Angelier, but he asks you to affirm that on those three occasions she withherown hands administere 1 the poison. In all three charges he rays, that she did wickedly and feloniously administer to, or cause to be taken by, the said deceased Emile L'Angelier, a quantity of arsenic. I do not dispute, gentlemen, that these charges may, in the absence of eye-wit nesses, be proved by circumstantial evidence, but you must always bear in mind that circurnstantia, evidence must come up to this—that it must con vince you of the perpetration of these acts. NOW, then. in dealing with such circumstantial prcof, what should you expect to find proved ? Of course, that the means were in th! prisoner's hands of corn mittng the crime. The possession of poison will be the first thing that is absolutely necessary ; and on the other hand the fact that the deceased on one occasion was ill from the consequences of poison; and on the second occasion he was ill from the same cause • and that on the third he died from the effects Of poison. But it would be the moo defectivb of all proors of poison to stop at 'suck fat's as these, for one I,erson may his in Vat) pos session of poison and another person die from. the effec's of poison, and yet that proves no thing. You must have a third element. You must not merely have a motive—and I shall speak of a motive by and by—you must not merely have a motive but opportunity, the most important of all ' elements. You must have the opportunity of the parties coming into personal contact, or of that poison being carried to the murdered person through the medium of another. Now, we shall see how far there is the slightest room for such a position here. The Dean then ex amined the first charge against the prisoner, the admi nistration of poison on the MI or 20,h- of Februarys Mrs. Jenkins —than whom he never saw a more accurate and trustworthy witness—was able to fix a data for the second illness —namely, the 23d of February ; but she thefi w first would bringeightor th t e e m n days previous t othe 13 t t o h, the r second,'said that which thereabout ; and that he was ill about the 13th was proved by one of the letters anti by the testimony of Mr. Miller. As to Miss Perry, she did not recollect the date of his first illness the first, the second, or even the third time she was precagnosced, and it wee only by the most improper interference of one of the Fiscal's clerks, who read to her a date out of a book which has been rejected as worthless in fixing dates, that she fixed upon the 19th. But suppose the 19th was the date, notwithstanding that the prosecutor had searched sal the druggists' shops is Glasgow they had been unable to find that the prisoner bought any arsenic at all till the 21st, when she went so openly into Murdoch's, 'signed her name, and let it go to her father's account. He left his learned friend to choose one or other of the horns of this dilemma—either that the deceased was ill from the effects of arsenic on the first occasion, in which case it must have been adminis tered by other hands ; or that he was ill from some other cause—a fact which destroyed the whole theory and foun dation of the prosecutor's ease. As to the second illness, there was no proof whatever that the parties met after this perchale at all. Mrs. Jenkins said she did not think L'Angelier was cut of the house on Sunday night the 22 , 1. She said she had not given him the latchkey that night, which she always did when he was to be out late; that she should, have recollected it had he borrowed it that night ; and M. Tnuau said he certainly did not let him in that night, which was the only way he could get in if he left without the latchkey. Letter 107, how ever, was founded on to prove they met that night ; a letter which had no date—and which, though it had been found in an envelope with the clearest date, it would be madness to convict upon ; and with all the possibilities of such a letter landing its way into a wrong envelope, even in the hands of deceased, and still more in the hands of those by whom it was recovered, and with the date quite illegible, and which the Crown wit ness said had an "r" in the raonth, which sho wed it could not be " Feb."—so that even the Crown discarded their owes witness to carry out their theory—he was en titled to say that there was not merely a conflict of evi dence on the point, but an accumulation of evidence disproving the theory that they met that night at all ; and the failure to prove that certainly put an end to the charge. If, then, deceased was ill from arsenical poi ,on on that occasion, the inference he again drew was that he was in the way of receiving arsenic from some other hand. The Dean then proceeded to consider the third and last charge. He referred to the missing letter, de ceased received from the prisoner at Bridge of Allan on Friday. That letter evidently contained an appoint ment fora certain night, and when he found he could not keep it he knew it was useless to come without a specie! appeietweet. He then came to the second letter for warded to Bridge of Alfa'', bearing the postmark 21st March, and, as beheld, making the appointment for the Saturday evening. When was it she waited and waited ? Thursday evening. The letter from the deceased to Miss Perry coneusivaly proved .that. When was it likely she would write hernexisummons? I shouldthink the next evenire, for she almost invariably wrote in the eveeieg, and when she did not write in the evening she mentioned the hour of the day. This all-important letter was written, therefore on the Friday evening, and posted on Saturday morning, addressed to Mrs. Jenkins, and appointing the meeting for the Saturday evening. It was written with the same notice which she usually gave him out of their appointments, and she believed him to be in Glasgow. There is no appearance throughout the coire-pondence of any meeting haring taken place without previous arrangement© being made, and she bad constantly repeated her warning against his making any signal at the window, as it was sure to lead to di,eovery and risks of various kinds. On every occa sion she watched and waited for him. He never came without preconcert. Having broken his appointment for the Thursday, he never supposed he could procure an appointment for the Friday. He waited till he got ano ther letter, and when he broke his appointment on the Saturday why should he expect to have one on the Sun day ? On the Sunday night the family are at Prayers, the servants come down stairs and go to bed one by one; the cook not retiring till 11. The prisoner and her youngest sister descend to their bedroom between half past 10 and 11. They take half an hour to undress. The prisoner goes to bed with her sister, and, so far as human evidence goes, the house is undisturbed and un approached up to the following morning-. Do you think there could have been a meeting and no evidence of it ? The policeman who knew him had not seen him that "sight ; and you must remember that this is not a bust ling part of the town, but a quiet west-end square, about hourwhich the appearance of a stranger at a late on Sunday would be sure to attract attention. Neither within the 'house nor without the house is there the slightest vestige or ground of suspicion that the meeting appointed for Saturday took place on Sunday. .Then, as to L'Angelier, it is said he came to the house to see the prisoner on Sunday night. Even if that were a reasonable assumption, it would not advance the prosecutor's case one step, but the supposition was not a reasonable one—to suppose that he came that distance to keep a meeting which had been appointed for another evening. We do not know what other letters he may have received at the Bridge of Alan, and in one of his own he says " I have re. 'ceived no letters from Mr. Mitchell, and I should like to know what he wants with me." The Crown has not told us who Mr. Mitchel is, and I do not know. Who can tell that be received no other letters at Bridge of Allan, and for what purpose ho came so unexpectedly home. L'Angelier came to Glasgow, and there is also considerable mystery thrown over his identity in the course of the journey. Ross did not describe a person like the prisoner, andßoss was not shown the photographs The mail guard professed to identify him , from it, and yet the Crown objected to our relying on the photograph when identified by the druggists. No one is called from the inn to identify L'Angelier; and what was the account the snpposed L'Angelier gave of himself to Ross ? Why. that he had come from Alloa, and that he was going to Glasgow to cash a cheque, of which paymet t had been refused to him as a stranger—an account of which, if given by L'Angelier, the Crown had taken no means to test or account for. If L'Angelier was not with Ross he gives no false account of himself, and the evidence of the druggists at Coattaidge, Beillieaton, are 1 Gallnw gate, trout whom he bought laudanum, who all identify the likeness, and one of them the purse out of which the money was paid, were consistent with each other. If these three witnesses wefts correct he was ill; and finally in Miss Kirk's shop he purchased a white pt,wder, and Miss Kirk can't tell you what this white powder was. He comes to his lodging—he goes out at nine—is seen in different streets, but not in Bjythswood-s pare ; so that this proves nothing at all. He calls on M'Aleso ter. Why is M'Alester not here, that he might, per chance, tell what brought him to Glasgow, and if he knew anything of Mr. Mitchell? From half-past 9 to half-past 2 he is absolutely lost sight of, and the Lord Advocate admitted that the fact that prisoner and de ceased met that night is founded on inference and con jecture. Good heavens, inference and conjecture I In ference and conjecture whether on the night he was poisoned he saw the prisoner who is charged with this murder ! I never beard such expressions made use of in a capital case before as indicating or describing a link in the chain of a prosecutor's case. I have beard them many a time in the mouth of a prisoner's counsel, and I darn say you will hear more of them from ens to-day, but fur the prosecutor himself to describe such a part of his evidence as a piece of con;ecture and hypothesis is to me a meet startlinz novelty. And yet my learned friend could not help himself. It was a necessity he should so verdict he intended to ask a verdict at all, thefor if e be ad did only on a series of expresshe could askhimself unfounded and i ncredible sus p icions and h ypotheses. T h e v Dean then refe rred to the- statem e n ts as to L'Angelier h av ing a suspicion on his mind that he had renzived for ; poison from the prisoner, and said, if that,were true, they were asked to believe that he took the poisoned cup from the prisoner, in which there lurked so great a quantity of arsenic as was sufficient to leave on his sto mach 88 grains, and from the hands of one whom he suspected had been practising on his life. It was a dose which, according to Dr. Christison, might have amount ed to 240 grains. It was a dose that, so far as experi ence wont, never was before successfully administered by a murderer, and it was most difficult to conceive a vehicle in 'which so great a quantity could be admini stered, far less to one who had his suspicions pre viously excited. Then the Crown had shown that the colouring matter of any arsenic could after wards be found in the stomach, but their witnesses say their attention was not called to that circum stance. Whose fault was that ? The Crown must have known the importance of this inquiry, and the pri soner bad no means of being represented in this chymi cal analysis. Such was the evidence of the last charge. It the case is a failure on the first an d second charges, it is a far more complete and radica l failure in the last. In fact, I have demonstrated that it was absolutely impo st side to bring guilt against the pri-oner. It remans not only not proved, but the whole evidence connected with the proceedings of tha t da y seems to g o to ne g ative such a supposition. I might stop there, for nothing can be more fallacious ttan to suppose that it is for me to ex plain how the deceased came by his death. His lordship Gill tell you a defender in this court has no further duty but to stand on the defensive, and maintain that the case fir the prosecution is not proved. No man living pro. bab i l lY de c r an th t e el s l l h ig o h w te L st 'Angelisr came by his death ; nor am i u obligation even to suggest to you a eessible manner in which his death may have been com passed without being at the hands of the prisoner. But it is but fair that when dealing with matters of suspicion and corjecture you should consider whether the supposi. tions on which this charge is founded are preferable in respect of higher probability to ether suppositions that ,may be fairly made. The character of this man—hie origin, his previous history, the nature of his conversation,
