Mr. J mace Brie intimated his dissent, and said that the

it was his duty to tell them that according to the law, if two

crime of murder. This law had been established 'beyond

to return a verdict against the law because they were not
satisfied with it. The question was, Did Lieutenant-
Colonel Fawcett meet his death in a duel with the
prisoner ? and if that fact was established, the prisoner was
guilty of murder. The learned judge then went through
the material points of the evidence. If they believed these
witnesses, there could be no namable doubt that the prisoner
went out to fight a duel, and in the execution of that parse
shot Colonel Fawcett. If, however, the jury felt there walls
