THE VERDICT.

On Saturday the AkttornerGeneral completed his
address, and the Judge summed up. The jury retired
at seven minutes to three, and, after an absence of
an hour and • quarter, returned to ask two questions
respecting the evidence.
The jury again retired until five minutes past five,
when, upon their being seated and having answered
to their mantes,. _

The Clerk of Arratgna asked : Rave you agreed
upon your verdict?
The Foreman: We have.

The Clerk : Do ymu find the iwienner, Adrlaide
Bartlett, guilty or not guilty ol the wilful murder of
Thoutaa Edwin Bartlett!

Tbr—Ooreman : We hays considered the evidence,
and, although we think there is the gravest suspicion
attaching to the prisoner, we do not think there is
sufficient evidence to show how or by whom the
chlorolornt :,vas.adminissarsd,

The Clerk : Do you say that the prisoner is not
guilty?
The Foreman : Y. 4.
At this there was loud and eontinued cheering in
the Court, which was with difficulty suppressed.
The Judge : This *induct is an outrage. A Court
of Swititie is not to be turned into a theatre. Address-
ing the jury : It only remains for in. to express my
great sense of the undivided attention which you have
given to this cam, and the cheerfulness with which
you have submitted to the inevitable privations and
to the disturbance of your family arrangements. I
hope I shall not be insulted again by any exhibition
of the character which is so disgraceful in the people
who are orment on the most solemn occasion upon
which men can be called together to perform • Public
duty. lam glad to think that it is permitted ins to
give practical effect to my sense of the recognition
doe to their services by directing that for five years
to come each one of you shall he free from the obliga-
tions of serving on a jury.
The mem, both inside and outaicle of 9ourt, pending
the verdictl and whilst it was being given, WAG of a
most exciting character. Every inch of standing
rcwin inside warn occupied, and a very large erovM
assembled, and patiently waited outside to iftlll the
result. It was a remarkable fact that the decision of
the jury was apparently known outside before it was
actually announced in the Court, for whilst the fore-
man was making his statement, as above, awl before
he had given the affirmative replyto the clerk, great
shouting from outside was heard, and this was kept
up for some minutes. The prisoner—who throughout
the whole proceedings before the Coroner, the wage-
teats, and the judge had been remarkably quiet and
winiposed, ere* when overcome on Friday by the
address of her counsel—upon the verdict Wei, gives,
fainted, and was taken out of the dock WY we two
