LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 28.

Psalm's the most remarkable came which has
been tried at the Spring Assizesis that of Wn.ussc
STURT, who has just been acquitted of the charge
of poisoning a widow named MARY Awn DAY, at
Brighton. That the woman died by arsenic there
was no manner of doubt. Dr. TAYLOR, who made
a chemical analysis of the stomach after death,
actually obtained three grains of solid arsenic, when
two are fatal to human life ; and he gave it as his
opinion that the quantity in the stomach alone
must have been at least five grains. This opinion
of the chemist was confirmed by that of the sur-
geon. Nor, indeed, was any doubt expressed
either by the prisoner's Counsel or by the Loan
Omar James, who summed up strongly
in his favour, as to the cause of the
woman's death. The only question which
remained to be determined was how the
arsenic got to the place in which it was found. In
other words, when was it administered I
how was it administered f and by whom
was it administered f Theme were the pro-
blems which occupied the attention of a crowded
court for a whole day ; and it must be admitted
that they furnished the text for one of the most
able and successful charges that has ever been de-
livered from the English bench. Chief Justice
Coexist:ran has had some experieice in such
matters. His reputation, great as it was at the
time of PALMER'S trial, was increased by the con-
summate manner in which, as Attorney-General,
he conducted the case for the prosecution. Nor
can it be doubted that his reputation as a criminal
judge will, if possible, be raised in the opinion of
those who read the report of the case which has
just closed. Henceforth, the prisoner who is
really guilty will dread the presence of Sir A.
Cocinunir on the bench, whilst the prisoner who
is innocent will hail his presence with satisfaction.
It seems that Wnissx STORY was a painter,
about 43 jeers of age, living at Brighton. His
wife was dead, but he had six children. Mier
Awn DAY, who also lived at Brighton, was a
widow with nine children. They had been in-
timate with each other for some years. They
passed a great deal of time together, especially at
the beershop of one Simon. As might have
been expected, they were both poor, and the
woman was addicted to habits of drinking ; in-
deed, it is clear that she was not only in
a bad state of health, but had permanently
injured her constitution by excess. At the
time it is probable that STUNT was really fond of
this woman. According to one account be had
promised to marry her just about the time she
died, and according to his own account she must
have bad considerable influence over him. For

upon one occasion, after her death, being asked by
the man SUTTON whether he did not know that
she was a bad character, he replied, "No, I did
" not. When the acquaintance first began she
"deceived me as to her age, and shortly after-
" wards told me she had done so, which I felt
" pleased at, as it brought her age nearer to
" mine. She afterwards said, You don't know
" what else I deceived you in, or you would not
" feel so pleased. I told you I had only three
" children ; I have got eight.' " This
astonished the prisoner, as well it might,
and " from that time," he said, " I
" made up my mind to break off the acquaint-
" enc.', ; but she always waylaid me when I
" went out. " In this attempt to get rid of her
STURM seems to have partially succeeded. But
the woman evidently felt her power, and would
not let him go. "About eighteen months ago,"
be said, " she sent • little boy to ask how I
' " was. That recommenced the acquaintance
be-
" tween us, and at list I grew ao fond of her
• " that I could not shake it off." It is true that
some time before her death STUCT complained of
her being out late alone, and only a few weeks
before that event the poor woman seems to have
joked him about another young man of whom she
professed to be fond. But the very evening upon which
this took place they passed together. Sorrow, of the

beenhop, took it as a riming cloud, and the
Loan Cunt Jimenez, with excellent common

sense, remarked, " No doubt (as was usual with
" women when they felt their power) she would
" sometimes jeer him about another man. But
" these were mere transient disturbances of their
" intimacy and constant familiarity." Certainly
