The prisoners for trial were very numerous, many of them having been left untried since the last Quarter Sessions. There were 139 felony cases and 36 misdemeanours. Of this number only eight could read and write well, 99 im perfectly, and the remainder could neither read nor write. The following gentlemen were sworn as a Grand Jury : Peter Sergeantson, (foreman,) broker, Oldhall-street John Davis , broker, Exchange-alley. C. S.

THE WOOL TRADE During the past month the business transacted by pri vate contract has been limited in extent, compared with that of the previous three months. We subjoin the par ticulars of the public sales, which we have adapted from the circular of Mr. E. Buckley, published on the sth instant:— On the 15th ult., 183 bales Australian, 1280 East India, 464 uenos Ayres, 366 Iceland, and 502 sundries, were offered, of hick the whole of the Australian, 1200 East India, and 280 uenos Ayres, were sold, the rest being principally bought in. itnilar to those pies on the 21st February. .cnt much higher. In the three _ace these sales, the transactions were ant;—the accounts from India and some ,:ontinent being considered unfavourable, the having previously laid in stocks, preferred looking . The last India mail bring- Jie to British interests there, and the operations in one part of the Continent, reek, induced a better feeling generally : our public sales of Wool on Wednesday am the following amounts were offered, es within parentheses denoting the quantities sold:- 1542 Australian (1388), 48 Cape (48), 170 German (2 , r), 149 Spa nish (103), 201 Portugal (82), 60 East India (t:0), 673 Peruvian — A), 628 Entre Rios and Buenos Ayres (373), 111 Egyptian q'T Syrian (25), 83 Turkey and Smyrna (64), 85 Mohair "" other (115), making a total of 4088 bales offered, biddings for Australian and Cape showed a large proportion were, “gainst which there is always a (1. - at prices similar to late private were better no alteration since previous sales however, second-hand stock prejudice , re not so much sonata after id sold at lower rates. Only a few of the German ivere sold .t Is. 7d. to Is. 7d. ; they would all have gone at fair prices, however. Good washed Peruvian maintained its former value. The better qualities of burry River Plate Wool sold at fully last month's prices; common burry was neglected, 3d. to 3ad. being offered—none sold. There is now less objection to pur chasing these descriptions than formerly, some of the principal consumers having burring machines ; a large proportion of those recently sold have, however, been for the Continent. East India sold at former rates. 31 bags Canadian Skin brought 7d. to Is. 3d. A few bags superior White Egyptian Combing brought 10d. to 104 d., and shorter Whites Bd. to 80.

The market for all descriptions are as our last quotations, with a ten dency to fall. From the Baltic, the arrivals are two car goes of spars, one of which has changed hands : prices not transpired. Of furniture woods,—one cargo of mahogany and satinwood has arrived from St. Domingo. The de mand for these articles, in consequence of the limited sup ply, exhibits a marked increase, and will no doubt at the next sale materially influence the prices. LOCAL MEETINGS D COMMISSIONERS.—The monthly held at the board-room, on Thursday nigl.t, r. Richd. Bryans in the chair. There were present een other commissioners. The proceedingq of several were confirmed. The Finance Committee recommended the rates for the ensuing year should be— Improvement rate, Is. 6d. in the pound ; lighting, ls. ; and sewerage, 4d. There was some demur to the trea surer paying; according to minute of the Finance Com mittee, certain sums to men engaged in extinguishing fires—the same being considered by some present to be illegal. Several members said it was done for the good of the town, and the item was passed. From :,he Ferry - -fa it appeared that the receipts for the year ending were £14,771, compared with £18,217 for the same period last year. The expenditure for the year amounted to £13,941. The committee recommended that the Queen be laid up for repairs and alterations. (Some laughter.) Mr. Mallaby referred to the removal of the landing stage from opposite the broad steps, and explained that the Liverpool Corporation alone were bound to keep it in repair. He said that since the new landing stage had come into use there was not the same accommodation as before for the landing of goods and - He wished the law clerk to consider the sub THE SELECT VESTRY.—The usual meeting was held on Tuesday last. Mr. Ferguson occupied the chair, and there were present the Rev. Archdeacon Brooks, Rector Campbell, and eighteen vestrymen. Mr. Cafferata read an article from the London Times, showing that pro fessional beggars wrung money from the public, which they spent in drunkenness and debauchery. Messrs. Chapman and Collis's contract for tin, which had some how been refused, contrary to former custom was agreed to. It was'shown that the number of assessments under £l3 a year, not being dwelling houses, was 1,160, and the total amount to which are liable was £10,546. The Finance Committee decided that the collecting of these assessments should not belong to the new collectors ; but on the motion of Mr. Avison, that decision was reversed by 15 to 6 votes. Mr. Woodruff carried a motion for the publication of a detailed balance sheet of the receipts and expenditure of the parish. The Schools' Committee re commended that no children from the Workhouse or Infirmary be removed to the Industrial Schools, while choleila continued in the Workhouse. Mr. liodson op posed this, but his amendment was rejected by 13 to 8. The Poor Law Commissioners' assent to the erection of a new building having been submitted, and a motion of Mr. Cafferata, rescinding a resolution of a previous meet ing, that the proceedings of the committee should be kept secret having been carried vestry - .ile iroke up. Docx COMMITTEE.—At the weekly irceeting, on Thursday, (Mr. Henderson in the chair,) the voting of the Albert Dock accounts by the Council having been read, Mr. Bold said he understood the chairman, at the an imputal ion on t: Dock Committee, by stating that the accounts were pre pared for a certain purpose. The Chairman said, if Mr. Bold were going to make any charge against him, he should like to have the precise words. Mr. Maim said these words did not fall from the chairman, but they, or some thing very like them, did fall from a member of the com mittee, and the rules of the Council prevented him (Mr. Mann) from replying. Mr. Aikin denied that gentlemen at that table had laid their heads together to concoct the accounts. Mr. Poole said the remarks he made were on stion and on üblic grounds. He never hing personally offensive, and he occasion. Mr. J. Holme exr investigate every item of the whole detail of the building. nilar remarks on a future ssed a determination to :ccounts, and go into the stood the chairman to disclaim the observations. The Chairman—l will not permit you to charge me with words, and then ask me if I disclaim them ; and I shall not sub mit to be called in question here as to what I say in Council. Mr. Rankin thought that Mr. Bold was attaching more importance to what was said in Council than it deserved. Mr. Bold said, if that were the general feeling, he should say nothing more about the matter. Considerable desultory conversation took place, but no result was arrived at. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the meeting, on Thurs day last, the medical officer of health reported that during the last week there were 267 deaths, being a greater num ber than during any week since January 13, and showing an excess of 49 as compared with the previous week. Since the last meeting of the committee, three cases of cholera had occurred, two of which had proved fatal. One of these cases was that of a man who arrived from Glasgow with the premonitory symptoms, and died 36 hours afterwards. In addition to these, 14 cases have occurred in the Workhouse, of which B.have proved fatal. During the quarter ending 31st March, 3,123 deaths were registered in the borough, being a decrease of 596 as com pared with the corresponding period of last year. As compared with the last qnarter it shows a decrease of 70. Diarrhoea and dysentery proved fatal to 175 persons in the December quarter, and to 112 in the quarter just ended ; while cholera caused 31 deaths in the last, and 21 in the previous quarter. During the last three months small pox caused the same number of deaths as cholera, and typhus fever nearly four times the number.—M r . Harbord said the medical officer would no doubt bear him out, when he said many cases occurred which were not reported.—Dr. Duncan said there was no doubt cases of cholera had occurred, and, as the patients recovered, they were not reported.—Mr. Harbord : The opiate treatment is now used at the Workhouse.—Mr. Hornby : Is that Dr. Hawthorne's treatment ?—Mr. Harbord : Not ex actly. He does adopt an opiate treatment. I merely mention this circumstance to allay alarm, and to show that cholera is not so fatal as supposed.—Dr. Duncan said that he had no objection in stating that cholera was not epidemic in Liverpool.

He objected to the number cost of working them, and he concluded by saying that a of officers who had been placed over the police, for a fourth great mistake was committed when the Dock Committee turned warehouse-owners and warehouse-keepers. Had the docks been erected east and west, and the warehouses kept back 40 yards from the edge of the quay, the docks might have been used both as import and export docks. The commit ee would then have obtained £250,000 for their land let on a seventy-years' lease to Warehouse Companies. The Dock Committee would have been kept in their legitimate position—much bad feeling would have houses. Bth power to the Dock ground-floor of the quay, and hem were ei er serjeants or superior officers, and the men, instead of attending to their duty, were in reality walking the streets looking for their officers. Mr. PARKER said he felt extremely sorry that Mr. Harbord should have made so wild a statement. If a doctor undertook to do every thing. he would turn out to be wrong somewhere. Mr. Harbord had alleged that Mr. Dowling's report was incorrect ; but he (Mr. Parker) maintained that it was not incorrect. If there were docks at Manchester, it was quite clear that they wculd want an extra police force in that town. Mr. Harbord also forgot to tell them that in Manchester almost every mill, manu factory, and warehouse had its own private watchman. As to the construction of the force and the numbers of its officers, that was placed by the Act of Parliament in the hands of the 'Watch Committee, and the Council had no thing to do with it. When Mr. Harbord was on the Watch Committee in 1847, he made no complaint then. Mr. TuomsoN said that it cost the borough £2OOO a-year to watch the warehouses. By act of parliament, the Council might charge that sum to the warehouse owners, but he could not recommend them to do that, because the warehouses paid a large amount of rates. Mr. HARBORD.—There will be 74 more men on town duty than there were in 1848. been av enterprise—and he as firmly believed they would have saved the dock estate from half a million of debt, and from being burthened with property which will disappoint them in its returns. Mr. Alderman Nrcot, after objecting to the slur which had, apparently, been cast by Mr. Holme on the way in which the Committee's accounts bad been kept, said that the Finance Committee of the Corporation were as much to blame if they received £3OOO without being entitled to it. It was well known that he (Mr. Nicol) opposed the Al bert Dock as strongly as Mr. -Holme himself, though on different grounds; and he quite agreed with that gentleman that the Albert Dock was an unfortunate speculation, for it was quite impossi lected a more expensive spot upon which The whole of the items which were chat Me to have to tr.' Mr. TURNER called attention to the fact that they were gradually reducing the force, and it must be borne in mind that as the warehouse interest paid one-fourth of the rates they were entitled to proper protection. The proceedings were then confirmed. DOCK COMMITTEE. correct were easy of explanation, and M. Holme could soon have explained them if it suited his purpose. Mr. HARBORD, Mr. FISHER, and Mr. POOLE sup ported the amendment. Mr. HUGH HORBNY thought that the Dock Committee were scarcely treating the. Dock Trustees with proper con sideration, in not furnishing them beforehand with particulars upon which they had founded th-' tions. Under all the circumstances, he -* Mr. Holme's amendment. Mr. AIKIN said he would also vote for the amendment., and allow Mr. Hartley to go through the inquiry again, for he felt quite convinced that ultimately it would be found that the cost of the Albert warehouses would prove to be even less than the sum at which they were now stated. After having alluded to the difficulty in piling the ground for dock warehouses, Mr. Aikin expressed his conviction that no person could exercise any influence on Mr. Hartley's mind in investigating the accounts. Mr. JAMES HOLME, though a member of the Dock Committee, expressed his dissatisfaction with the state ment, and should vote for the amendment. Mr. GEORGE HOLT said, that if the warehouse Albert Dock had not been erected in their present form, quay sheds would have been required, and of course there would have been an additional expense on that aceoc and one question was, whether trey ought to that portion of land to the cost of the warehouses or no. He thought that the calculation had been made upon pretty nearly the correct basis. If they had not the sheds they must have warehouses, and, therefore, his opinion was, that they ought not to charge the land used as quays to the warehouse account. Mr. PARKER—Then according to Mr. Holt's principle, if this question be adjourned till 1850, the cost of the warehouses will turn out to be £lOO,OOO less than it ap- Mr. Driffield read the proceedings of this committee, which included a report from Mr. Hartley, surveyor to the dock estate, respecting the cost of the Albert Dock warehouses. ould support The cost of the buildings w Deduct—Sheds Paving quays .

He did not concur in that statement, especially in that portion of it wherein was stated the amount expended in the erection of the warehouses and the formation of the dock. It would be found, on com paring the present statement with former years, that the amount of cost appeared to have been materially lessened. In the year 1847, the works being then almost completed, the Dock Committee made out a statement of their ac counts for the first time, and the utmost care was then taken that they should be made out justly and correctly, according to the intention of the act of parliament. They were so made out, and received the sanction of the Coun cil. According to that statement, the cost of the land and buildings of the warehouses was about £460,000 ; and now, according to the statement which the Council were called upon to confirm, the cost would. appear to be only £375,709. The reasons which had been assigned for throwing discredit upon the original statement of the accounts appeared to him (Mr. Henderson) to be exceed ingly futile. 'e charged pears now. Mr. HoLT—Undoubtedly, it ought to be less. After a few words from Mr. Parker, Mr. J. B. Lloyd said he should vote for the amendment, as the members of the Dock Committee had not made up their minds as to the principle on which the accounts should be made out. Mr. T. B. HORSFALL quite agreed with Mr. Lloyd. After a few observations from different councillors, a division was taken, when the following was the result : For the amendment :—Messrs. Langsdale, Walthew, James Holme, J. Woodruff, Thomson, Morris, Preston, Stitt, Tyrer, Aikin. Hornby, Tinne, Bell, Ferguson, Har bord, Rogers, Wagstaff, S. Holme, J. B. Lloyd, Johnson, Parker, Poole, Beckwith, Hindley, Fisher; Aldermen T. B. Horsfall, John Holmes, Henderson, Procter, and Bent. Total, 33. Against it : Messrs. G. Holt, J. A. Tobin, G. H. Law rence, Benn, Mann ; Aldermen Nicol, J. N. Wood, Tur ner, Chilton, and the Mayor. Total, 10. The amendment was consequently carried. Upon the minutes of the St. George's Hall Committee being read, it was resolved that strangers should not be allowed to go into the hall at present, except by an order from a member of the Council. The Council then adjourned till Monday. Mr. MANN, in seconding the resolution, said he bad taken great pains to ascertain the truth of the facts set forth in the statement. Although the chairman of the Dock Committee (Mr. Henderson) had sat three years on the Albert Dock Committee, and had taken great interest in the Albert Dock, he (Mr. Mann) would ask him if he had either seen or heard of a whole detailed statement of the accounts ? He would ask whether he had seen a full detailed statement until lie had seen the one which had just been read ? The chairman of the Dock Committee (Mr. Henderson) bad stated that there had been two other statements of the accounts. He (Mr. Mann) admitted the fact that there had been two other accounts printed by the Dock Committee; but in consequence of the rumours that had been circulated, and the insinuations with refer ence to these accounts, it had been determined to make another endeavour to ascertain the real cost of these works, and everything connected therewith, and the con sequence was that the printed statement had been made out. These accounts contained the statement of the ex tra cost of the construction of the works, and the accounts which had been published contained the precise items of everything connected with the whole affair ; and so mi nutely had other matters been gone into that he believed that the Dock Committee had been enabled to obtain the return of £3OOO of interest which had long ago been overpaid by the Dock Estate to the Corporation. He un derstood that the portion of the account which Mr. Hen derson found fault with was that portion on which a certain sum was apportioned as the cost of the land appropriated to the warehouses, and another as to the quantity of land appropriated to the docks. The Dock Committee were very indifferent as to the manner in which the land was said to be appropriated, but the sub-committee apportioned the cost in the manner which they thought best. They thought that a dock without quays was quite useless—that without quays the water-space could not possibly be made use of, and therefore they apportioned to the dock a certain quantity of land, and to the warehouses a certain other quantity. Certainly the land which had been appropriated to the building of the warehouses was not as much as would have been required if the warehouses had been built up from the foundation to the roof, and the land which was unbuilt upon was used as a quay. As he had said be fore a dock without a quay was useless, and the tonnage which entered the Albert Dock last year amounted to £420,000, which would be 61 per cent. on the cost of the dock, charging it with so much water space and so much quay space as it was thought right. He (Mr. Mann) had been no party to making up the accounts in any way what ever; but the act of parliament directed that a separate account should be kept; and he presumed that the way to ascertain this, was to see that in the account of the money expended on the Albert warehouses everything connected with their cost and management should be kept distinct. Mr. SAMUEL HOLME rose for the purpose of proposing a veto upon one portion of the Dock Committee's pro ceedings, and that was the statement of the cost connected with the Albert Dock and warehouses. If the Council confirmed the proceedings of the Dock Committee as they stood, the sum which appeared as the cost of the Albert Dock warehouses would stand on the books for ever with a statement that these works had cost that amount, and would be debited with interest upon the calculation that they bad cost £375,000. As they would be debited with interest upon that amount, that fact would be used in considering whether the Dock Committee should go fur ther with this description of works. He held in his hand a statement headed, " Cost of the Albert Dock," and signed by IVIr. Withers; and he (Mr. Holme) would say that it was a most unfortunate omission for the committee of the corporation to say that they gone over the accounts with " great accuracy," and then to admit that they had overpaid interest to the amount of £3,000. As he had said before, there had been three accounts published, and according to account No. 1, dated June 24th, 1847, the cost of the land for warehouses was stated to be 33,093 yards at 535. 6d THE LIVERPOOL MURDERS, FINAL COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER FOR TRIAL On Tuesday the police-office was much crowded by par ties anxious to have a sight of the prisoner before his final committal for trial. He was placed at the bar about half past two o'clock and the evidence of John Marks, Mary Knott, and Mr. Slater, was read over. On being asked whether he had any questious to put to the witnesses, he faintly answered " No," in each case. Mr. Rushton hav ing given the usual caution to the prisoner, he was asked if lie had anything to say, when be replied, " I have no thing further to say till I have got my witnesses before the trial." He was then fully committed for trial at the next assizes, and the witnesses bound over to appear and give evidence.

Take the warehouses at £375,709, and the Canning Graving Docks and Half tide Basin at £200,000, there would be £575.709 ; and this would make the Albert Dock, of less than 7 acres, cost £446,291. If, therefore, they reduced the cost of the warehouses, they added to the cost of the dock, thereby making it cost £63,700 an acre. Perhaps they might say that they had to purchase some property, and pay compensation to tenants for removal ; but the public streets which were absorbed, and for which the Dock Committee made no compensation to the parishioners, were of more *'alue thane the buildings which they pur chased. Now, these accounts had the appearance of having been tinkered. tb , suit a purpose. Dock ware- DEATH OF TAE SERVANT. Mary Parr, the servant girl, died on Thursday morning about six o'clock, at the Southern Hospital, where she had remained since the day of the murder. She is the fourth—yea, the fifth victim of this horrible tragedy. For the last three or four days she has been sinking, her sight and memory having become much impaired. It was only at intervals she displayed any signs of con sciousness, and even then she talked in a very incoherent mariner. Her face and head were much swollen, and her features were so much changed that her friends had some difficulty in recognising her. At times she rambled much, and called aloud for different persons. After Fri day week, when she identified the prisoner Wilson, she did not communicate any additional circumstance relating to the murder. Although never informed of the death of Mrs. Henrichson, she had a strong impression that her mistress was not living. At one time feeling that all hope of her own recovery had vanished, she said her mistress had gone home, and she would soon follow her. Her brother, who resides in Manchester, called at the hospi tal to see her before her death. The deceased was a native of Neston, in Cheshire, and was in her 29th year. The servant has been interred in the same grave with her mi stress, at St. James's Cemetery. The death of the girl will not at all affect the case against the prisoner. Her evidence against and identifi cation of the prisoner last week will be produced on the trial. All the parties connected with the Southern Hos pital have evinced the utmost anxiety to alleviate the sufferings of the victims in this horrid tragedy. On Saturday evening - the remains of the servant girl, Mary Parr, were interred in St. James's Cemetery. The body was placed in the same grave with Mrs. Henrichson and her two children. The funeral procession left the hospital shortly after six, and arrived at the cemetery about half-past.

From motives of propriety the time and place had been kept as secret as possible. Some intimation, how ever, was given to the public by the necessary arrange ments at the Southern and Toxteth Hospital in the hospital was affecting and painful. The mother's coffin lay in the centre, and a child on each side of her. Mrs. Henrichson's mother bent over the remains of her daughter and grandchildren, and took a last look at those who had gone for ever. The plates on the coffins showed Mrs. Henrichson's age to be twenty-nine, and those of the chil , lren to he three andOve. At half-past ten, the hearse and three mourning coaches drove up to the hos pital door, and the bodies were deposited in the hearse. The chief mourners were the deceased lady's mother and brother. Mr. Parsons and Mr. James Aikin, with a few more of the deceased's friends, were also present. At this time there could not be less than ten thousand per sons present. Admission to the walks of the cemetery was by ticket only, and several thousand persons - thus admitted. The grave lies close behind Mr. Huskis son's. The Rev. W. Pollock, of St. Mark's, officiated on the occasion. During the whole of the mournful ceremony few eyes remained dry, and loud sobs were heard on every side. In the grave, the child ren were placed by the side of their mother. Crowds thronged round to have a view of the coffins as they lay in their last resting place. The mother of the deceased stood for some time on the brink of her daughter's grave, her taars falling on the earth which was about to cover their remains from her sight for ever. Going to and from the grave, the mournful procession was accompanied by a grea t num b er of persons. The bodies remained in the Southern Hospi tal until the funeral took place. The management of the 'mem' was entrusted to Messrs. Griffiths and Thistle, whose arrangements throughout were excellent. THE FUNERAL ORATION As soon as the bodies were deposited, the Rev. W. Pollock ascended the small mound of earth at the mouth of the grave, and in a most solemn manner thus addressed those around him : _ _ " Before we close this sad and deeply affecting cere mony, I feel persuaded you will excuse me if I endeavour, as a minister of Christ, to improve this fearful occasion by addressing a few words to those I see around me. For this task I am myself exceedingly unfitted at present by bodily indisposition, but I confess that my spirit is stirred within me by this most striking spectacle, and I feel that I should not discharge my duty towards you if I did not endeavour to offer a word or two of improvement.

The London market is firm to-day. As far as regards our immediate neighbourhood, the rain which has fallen during the last few days has come very opportunely and seasonably for the corn which is already sown ; and the following extract from our Cork letter conveys the only complaint which has reached us of the retardation of flea' operations : " An unfavourable change has occurred in the weather, and quantities of rain have fallen in this locality: the ground has been thus rendered unfit for the reception of seed, and spring land is either cultivated or in preparation for potatoes, and the small occupiers seem determined at all hazards to try this dangerous experiment on a grand scale. Such a state of things is much to be deplored ; but with many of the class alluded to, no other course is practicable, as from their indigence they are totally unable to introduce an improved system of a rotation of crops; tney not only do not posses the means of purchasing the necessary seeds, but even if these were supplied to them, they are unprovided with suitable agricultural implements, those in use amongst them being of a rude and inefficient con- struction."

At the close of the subject he re ferred to the large attendance, and said there appeared to have been an impression that he would have made some remarks relating to the painful tragedy which had recently taken place in the town. Such, however, had never been his intentions, as he had said all he intended on the pre vious Sabbath. Besides, he thought he would not be doing that which was consistent with his own duty and the public interests if he endeavoured in any way to pan der to an excitement which he would rather use his endea vours to modify and allay. He was quite sure there was in the present day a morbid sensibility connected with horrible affairs such as that which had recently taken place, and no minister should help that feeling forward. He cordially agreed with the sentiment in reference to that subject which lately fell from one of the judges at York. There is every reason to believe that this man's name is not John Gleeson Wilson, but Owen Morris. A per son of the name of John Sharps has deposed that he wrote a letter to the prisoner's father some time since at the prisoner's request, in which the prisoner spoke of himself as Owen Morris, The letter to the father was addressed RJohn Morris, blacksmith, Dreol, to the care of the ev. Father Ryan, P.P. Rathkeal, Limerick." The pri soner speaks Irish with fluency, which is what not an Eng lishman in a million can do.—Liverpool Times. The pri was Wade at Wentbridge, on the 26th ult., and is in dorsed by " two of her Majesty's Justices of the Peace." FREE TRADE AND THE FARMERS.—We find the fol lowing in a leading article in the Standard . " His Grace the Duke of Marlborough has received notice of their in tention to quit their farms at Michaelmas next, from the occupiers of seven thousand acres of the best land in England. His Grace's tenants make no complaints of excessive rents, or of any oppressive restrictions ; they are at full liberty to destroy hares, rabbits, &c., upon the. farms, and have hitherto been upon the best terms with their noble landlord, as they are still. But they can not cultivate their land at any rent. or no rent, without loss, and they therefore abandon it."

Edward M`Dermott, who deposed to receiving the let ter from the prisoner, was cross-examined by him as to one or two points. Q. Can you read or write? A. No. Q. How can prove that is the letter ? A. I cannot say exactly, but it had three lines in it like what I see here. Prisoner : Gentlemen of the jury, he cannot swear that is the letter, but it only looks like the letter he did get.

He was then removed, some of the persons present hissing him as he left the dock. The prisoner has not made any further statement worthy of notice since his committal to gaol, and, so far as we have been able to learn, has conducted himself in an orderly and becoming manner. ES, &
