cvidenr showed this waisind impossible. The magistrate
inquired whether evidence could he obtained as to the
tame on which prisoner lived with his wife. but was in-
formed by the police that, although many of the neigh-
bours mild give such evidence, local prejudices were
so strong against assistinz judicial inquiry as to keep
them silent. A remand was ordered for the purpose of
obtaining this information, and on the wooed hearing
an extraordinary pier of t. alimony was ad irmed. A

without asking for apartments in the house. The pri•
loner appeared somewhat staggered at this evidence,

sumed, when several witnesses were eaauiin.d, and the
coroner gummed up, when the jury returned a verdict
of wilful murder against Willivui Maloney.
