THB TIOHBORNI TRIAL
Dr. Kentish on Tuesday prooeeded to Imin up As
evidence adducted on the pert of the defondent to dis-
prove his identity with Orion. HO first re/.1" .eed the,
Orton,
evidence as to the features and personal P•eititartii"
especially as to height. 80eemsrtei0g his evid-
ence as lo Orton, Dr. Keneroy eeel :re a the witneues
bad spoken to their knowledge of him at Wapping, one
of whom had seen him in 1850 on the owed of California,
and nine had known him in Aultrelle, seven of whoa
bad, they said, known him and Castro as distinct per-
sons, and one of them said he had • reo-ipt from the
defeedant in 1858 signed "K. c. D. Tiehborne." In
dealing with this bony of evidence Dr. Kemal, first
took what may be called an analytical view of it, and
then proceeded to review the evidence of the witnesres
seriatim. With regard to the height of the defendant
: and Orton on one Land and Roger on the other, the
defendant stated in craw-examination that his height,
on measurement,
had been found to be Wt. 9jin. or
Sit. 9.110., but two recruiting temente we called to
prove that they found his height to be sheight of Roger in 1850 was frit. SII" mid the only

witness who ;novel Orion'. holebt be measurement
stated it seeable 941 n. On the other baud, Dr. Honesty
relied on the testimony Elvin by his witneases. He then
pomeeded to other marks of idietity. As to the war
said to be on Orion's cheek, out if more than 70 wit-
nurses milled for the defames as to Orton, only 13 had
been asked about it, and out of these 11 had stated
there was such • tear (varying, is to the this at which
they had first seen it, from 1817 te 1851), putting it on
the kit cheek, while one put tt ou the right, and one
said be had not °bogeyed it ; but en the other hand, 12

neeses that they he'd seen no mark on his body. He
should show, he we, that Roger had a "brown mark"
such as the defendant has, and therefore, he urged, he
Gould not be Orion, for Orton had no such mark; upon
which, h one of the jury observed that the
nurse of the o;tone had steel that Arthur, whee a
child, hide red mark on his body. Then as to another
of the great proofs relied upon to orgattvo the identity
of Orton and the defendant—that Orton was pock-
marked—Dr. K. Duly admitted that he had stated in
his opening speech that Orton was "deeply pitted,"
but said that only 22 witnesses for the &donee spoke
to marks of smallpox et all, and of tle ee only seven
said Orton was "pitted," and only ten said be was
"aligttle pitted." Indeed, of these, some gold "Very
slightly" and others said there were only • few marks ;
one said as few as two or three, and ono spoke only to
a single mark which was visible, While the witnesses
for the prosecution as to Orton said that, though he had
the smallpox be was not pitted nor visibly marked. In

his gangues from Wapping, who had spoken to their
recollection of Arthur Orion, and at the same time had
spokes of him and his brother "u boys together,"
there being • &Hermits of 12 or 15 years in their ages,
he was reminded by the jury that it was evident these
witnesses had unfounded a boy of 11 or 12 with • man
of 26 or 30. To this Dr. Kenealy made the reply he
Lea often made to similar remarks—that he oared
nothing about dates in this cue.
Dr Kitimat, on Wednesday in his comments on the
evident* of the witnesses from Weeping laid Partioular
stress upon such as had seem Orton after his return from
Routh America in 1851. and in the year 1852, when he

to the evidence that Orton wore earrings, be said that
this was • credal pilot of his case as to Orton, and

own ears had been *reed though the maths were not

witnesses, though they had riot been asked spesificselly
about it, but only as to marks of bleeding or sores, la
effect showed that the marks of ear-pieredug would be
fiedeliblen because they had stated that the sear caused
by • destruction of the skin or by a puncture of a vein
would be indelible ; but as to ibis the Judges observed
that the evidence had smelled rather to roan reused by
sores than to simple ear-piercing, and the foreman
observed that the piercing of an ear did not necessarily

that he had been told by bodies that eerrings were
Sometimes worn without the ears being pierced at all.
Dr. Kenealy on Thuradey concluded, his review of

ullid at the former trial) who wore DOW oe'led on the
' put of the defence in testify that they had known
Orton and Castro in Australia, and to identify the
defendant with Castro. He then went through the

wite (tette astounded, ho said, to fini that it was not so,
but as it WAS Lot so he must nature to it stain, and be
proceeded to comment on the rot Mean with a view to
custom n his theory, which was thst Roger male the
marks at various tones—ln chalk, in permit, in ink, or
In paint merely to twine or astonish his relatives. As
to this, how,ver, the Lord Chief Jurtioe observed their
th-re was not a eir.gie wi-nes, who ceefirmed tLe theory
by stating that the merki appeased dllnoent e t eifferent
times ; but, on the contrary, they all descrile d the
marks, (so far as they bud obisern teem) as the sawn
coil, moreover, the marke appeared to them as real
tattoo marks. In commenting on tte evidence of one
of the priests at Btoeyeurst, Or, Kenealy seught to
explain the fact that the defeedant get married in
Australia by • Wesleyan minister mud union the name

Chief Justice intlinatad that tee evidence did not

Dr. Kenealy, putsuing the military evidence ow
Friday, contended tbat the defeeduit's recollection of
the roach-hacked borne beiongleg to Captain Horton
and the snefhb rx presented by Roger to hlejle Fraser
were extraordinary proofs of hi ideetity. As to the

I've lived In this changeable world, you See,
Rather more than half of a century,
And, though am saszcely past my prime,
Have seen some wonderful things in my Muse.
I heard the belle from each steeple ring,
When George the Fourth was proclaimed King ;
And might have seen, but was Just too late,

I remember spade guineas and one pound notes,
And when it was lawful to traffic in votes;
That is, such things were done with Impunity,
It you had the wherewith—and the opporttmity.
I've known • man hung, as a matter of course,
For breaking a house or stealing a horse,
Or forging a name to a cheque or till,
Or for kissing • woman against her will.
But man is still prone to evil, I fear,
Whether laws be merciful or severe,
Awl will sometimes indulge in murder and anon,
In spite of Jack Ketch and the ban of the parsum

Deposed in succession monarchs three,

In elite of oil lanqie and guttering cilia,
And the drat balloon on its voyage paw,
Inflated with roady-nuele hydrogen gas.
I remember the sunshine after the storm,
When Parliament passed Its first reform,
And the tussle there was betwixt Whiiis and Bluas
About the lattholics sod the Jews.
I've ridden to London on coach sod four,
Inclusive of stoppage, at ten mile; an hour,
And, though powder'd with dust from my boots l"

Have thought that no railway could come up to that.
The telegraph wire, at the time I mention,
Was simbhal sea kind of uselose invention,
To send a unsiwage so quickly and far,

Our love-letters, then, what a sum they met,
For newspe.pers only went free by post,
So we wrote with invisible ink on the blanks,

From her armpits, nearly down to her hip ;
And a huge &Weide alternately deck

A MIDIEFAL SAINT BORN TOO LATL
A beautiful chareeter has just passed away in
Michigan. Mr. Samuel Dunn, who dkd the other day
In the village of Plymouth, in that state, was no
ordinary man. For some years be was, it is stated, •
man of very intemperate habits, very noisy, but not
quarrelsome. Ms habit was to run half way up A hill,
and then suddenly "stamping and treading like a bulky
horse," call loudly for some one to come and block the
wheel." At last he would second the bill, and then
offer to bet " two and six that he would yell louder and
jump higher than any other min in the community."
When bent on " • spree "he would retire to • hollow
tree in the woods, which soon resounded with his
devotions, characterised by much z ,v 1 and piety. After
one of these " awakenings " h• returned to his house
emptied • bottle that stood on a shelf, and vowed he
would never touch another drop of drink. This vow he
religiously kept, immediately going to bed, and
remaining there for 19 years and 10 months, when he

and coffee regul•dy, but nothing stionger, and slept
soundly for 10 or 12 hours out of the 21. Ouce did he
express a wish to have biz clothes on and go out. Ilia
family one day being all absent, except his little grand-
son, he gave utterance to • desire to go to the hollow
tree and have some more devotions there. Unfortunately
however, the boy could not find his grandfather's troll-
sera, and so reluctantly the idea was relinquished, nor
did he again allude to the sul jest. No disease attacked

of his family and friends.
