THE CLOSING SCENE AT LAMSON'S TRIAL.
(From the Bourunwuth 014crwr.)

When the jury retired the prisoner left the dock, and
hie poor, hapless, wife was removed to an ante-room
by her friends, and it is well she did not return.
The prisoner returned to the dock in a few momenta,
and was joined there by his solicitor, who had
previously sat in the body of the court; the prisoner
then executed a document understood to be his wilt.
During this interval the Judge left the court, and the
buzz of conversation commenced. At this moment an
apparition became visible in the shape—and a vary
gaunt, grim shape—of the gaol chaplain clad in
canonicals. He took • seat next to that just vacated
by the Judge, and immediately facing the dock. It I

To say " Amen" after the Judge has odd "Kay the
Lord have mercy on your soul." This piece of
barbarity is peculiar, happily, to the Old Bailey.
Alter an absence 'A about half an hour it was
announced that the jury were returning, and forthwith
they filed into their places. The dullest eye could
read in every face the verdict "guilty." The foreman,
who has shown throughout the utmost intelligence and
care looked very worn. The poor juryman who has
broken down so often looked as white and cold as the
whitest marble; two of the younger jurymen covered
their facie with their hands; one folded his arms on
the ledge. before him and rested his forehead upon
them. The die which was to seal the fate of the
wretched man was as good as cast. It would seem
that the prisoner foresaw what was coming. Whilst
he was awaitini the retu n of the judge previous to
monolog his place in the dock his face was visible tea
