•The jury keels' been sdied took their seam in the box.
Baron Rolfe entered the court at 9 &Okla. and the pri-
soner Janus Bknutiekl Rush was placed in the dock. He
speared to be is good health, and was not perceptibly
affected by the awful pidilo. in which he was placed. In
answer to the sisal interrogatories he pleaded not guilty.
U. then, with soadderable coolness, proceeded to arrange
three bundles of papers, and during the proceedings he took
(*pions notes.
Oa the same of the jury bens celled over, Rush said he
had no objection to the jury, bat he trusted that if any gen-
tleman was about to be sworn who had captained anyopinios

--- - -

Mr. Serjeent Byles rese and mid, it was a matter
.1 rogret that the prisoner had not availed himself of the Ira-
Wade moistest* which had hem offered him, hat that he
bad undertaken to conduct his own defence. They mast
take cue that, under those circumstances, they did not bring
atforward any evidence that was not conclusive, enl that the
riemer's ignoramus, of the laws of evidence should not militate
seabed him. What, it would be inquired, esuld be the
motive for the commission of such a crime ? There went
transactions between the prisoner and the deceased gentle-
man, Mr. Jeremy, which would ,plain ft. The deceased
' Mr. Jermy wee • learned friend of theirs, recorder of the
city, • sea of ketone, chairman of the quarter sessions, pre-
siring la the eeat which his lordship then filled. Mr. Jermy
had a riddance at Yarmouth, and another at Staafield-ball.
His father, the Rev. George Preston, died in October, 1847,
and his son, on coming to the estates, took the name of
Jenny. Near to the Stanfield-hall estate was Potash farm,
and the prisoner had been tenant of the BtanBelA-hall firm.
The late Mr. Jermy had also two farms at Felsainerrius,
Mt the other side of Norwich, on the road to North
Waltham. One of those farms was occupied by the pri-
Mar' and core by his mother, dace deemed. About the
year 1844 Mr. Jenny advanced to the prisoner considerable
gums of mosey upon the Potash farm, the equity of re-
demption belonging to Rash. The first document which he
wired produce was the deed of mortgeae, which was im-
' portant ; k was dated September 20, 1844 ;It recited several
previous mortgages. but 5,0001. in all was charged upon
that estate, in favour of the Ire Mr. Jermy, and the money
was to raisin on the seenrity of that estate until November
SO, 1848. That was an important thing, bemuse the Use-
ful mourrence took place on the Tuesday previous to the
Thursday on which the mosey became due. He would pro-
dues the prisoner's poeket-bwk ; on " 20th September " he
round this item : " Principal due,lB3B"—a mistake for 1848.
The Mums on this ten of 6,0901. was 4 per cent., making
Mt per year. Some disputes arose between Mr. Jeremy
and the prisoner about the Stanfield-hall farm, and in
October, 1837, Mr. Jermy put in certain dietressee.
Jeremy else brought an action against prisoner for
miseulture of the Stiusfield-hall ism, and no very
good holing was engesdered in the mind of the prisoner
concerning Igo. Jermy. He would show, by the evidence
of a person named Flower, that about this time the prisoner
mid of Mr. Jenny " I will not be long before I serve him
with an ejectment for the other world."
Beek—What are those words? I never heard of them
before._ _ _ _

The learned judge said they would not prejudice the cue
unless they were proved.
Mr. &tout Byles—He would also show, by another wit-
ness. that the prisoner said "Dann them; I will do Indica
the first opportunity I have." It use true, all this evidence
would rely on the verbal testimony of witnesses,
and not be, perhaps, so satisfactory as written
evidence. But there were other statements, which
were in print, and which had been published by the
prisoner. The pamphlet to which be alluded purported tobe
" Reports sad Comments on the Trial at the Norwich
Assizes, March, 1848, for breaches of Covenants said to have
been committed by J. B. Rush, on the Btaafield-hall Finn,
under Lase Jirray, Eq., Recorder of Norwich, and a Cue
Jenny ti Jenny,' as to who is the right owner of the
Stanfield-hall and Fausinghem s states." It would berg be
convenient that he (the learned serjesnt) should state that
shortly after the death of the late Mr. Preston, two persona
made a claim to the estate—an of the name of (Lerner, and
another of the name of Jenny. Re would now speak of
what the prisoner had written. The pamphlet, after alluding
OS what Rush had done for the Btanfield•hall Farm, goes on
te say :

" let any one look at the above and then consider the

Rush—l think you ought not to make Marital from the

Serjt. Byks—l will have it all read presently if you like.
Rush—Very well.
Seep. BAN continued. He would rad wetter addressed
by Rush to his son. It was as follows :

lids was after the trial of the last cause. Rush beesme a
bankrupt, and up to that time a young person lived with
Rush, named Bendy Sandford, daughter of a Reek in the
lens. of *MM. Crowder. This young person was engaged
u governess in Ittlah's family. Sante time before the death
of Hr. Jenny she went with Rush to London, and on the
3rd of October last there was a meeting at Mylne-street,
in London, between Rush, Lanier, and Jersey, the claimants
of the Stanfield-hall estate. At this meeting an agreement
was signed, and a letter written by Rusk to a person of the
name of Bead, who had offered to lend his services to the
claimants.

Smoker 1148.—Dear Sir—l expect being down to-morrow, in.

He would show that en the 3d of October a raeetine took
plan, consisting of the two Lamers, Rush, and Jenny. Emily
Saadfordwas pretreat at that meeting, and she was introduced
as the person who was to find the money. An agreement
was drawn up by the prisoner, purporting to be an agree-
ment hammocks Lamers, Jassy, and Rush,to the effect that
the Lamers sad Jenny were to let to Rush certain farina in
the possession of the holden of the Stanfield-hall estate, in
the event of his gaining the property for them. lie would
I not read them that document now, as it would be put into
court presently. The agreement being prepared, and Ruah
at that time being in possession of the Felmingham farm, it
was agreed that Thomas Jermy and L should go down
to the Felmiagham farm to be put in possession. Accord-
ingly, on the 4th of October they went down to
Felmituthasa to tabs passion. Oa the following
day Emily Sandford, by Rush's direction, rams
down to Norwich and thence to Potash-farm. On the 10-h of
October Rush, Emily Sandford, and a boy named Savory,
ptoceeded in • gig to Stanfieltbhal. They proceeded part
of the way and then cams to a dyke or ditch. Rush and
Emily Sandford proceeded to Stanfisld-ball ; when they
arrived then she waited at the bridge, and he went to Mr.
Jimmy. What occurred he was not in a position to show.
Alter a short time he joined Emily Sandford, and returned
to Norwich. It would be important to recollect that that
interview between Rusk and the Recorder took place on the
10th of October. Emily Sandford went on that day to the
Bowling-green, Norwich, then to some lodgings in Theatre-
street that were kept by a person named Stacey. He then
handed ha a document which ohs signed, after, however,
much hesitation. It was, as follows:

Agreement made this tenth day of October, 1848, by me, Isaac
Jenny, Esq., recorder of the city of Norwich, that is to my, I agree
for myself, mheirs, and administrator, or assigns, to let to Janos

That referred to the Felmitighain estate, and was an
agreement br a lease, as the jury would see. He (Seri.

sent. She wrote to Rush and kept a copy of her letter.
The prisoner remonstrated with her for writing upon such a
subject, and destroyed the copy by tearing it in pieoe s. On
the 4th of November Emily Sandford went back to Potash
fans ; meanwhile Lamer and Jenny returned to London.
On Tuesday, November 21, Rush produced to Emily Sand-
ford some more agreements. There was one dated 10th
October, and two dated 21st November. They were given
to Emily Sandford, and she signed them; there was also
another by which Mr. Jersey was induced to cancel the
mortgage deeds altogether.
Rush—l hope they will be read.
Serjt. Ryles-011, yes, they shall be read presently. Such
wu the position of the prisoner on the 2d Nov. He had in
his possession documents purporting to bear Mr. Jenny's
name, bet he did not believe those documents would be more
valuable after his death than during his life. They bow
proposed to go to the transient ne to which his pre-
vious remarks applied. Oa Friday, the 24th of Nov.,
Rush went out for something, and remained out for a Gond-
denble time. He went out also on the night of Monday,
the 27th, but he mut mention one or two circumstances
which transpired on the Monday. There war to have ben
a • concert at Norwich on the Monday, and he
bad taken a family ticket. On that day his son
and his wife left for Norwich to attend it, and a female
servant went there also, leaving in the house only Rush and
Emily Sandford. After tea, -Rash went out as usual, and
renamed home late. He would be able to show' on Tuesday,
the 28th, about half-put four o'clock, Rush inquired of a
Mrs. Cooper whether Mr. Jenny was at home. They dined
that day at the usual hear. Emily Sandford laid the cloth.
He asked her what time dinner would be ready, and he
remarked there would be just time for him to go and fire off
his ffUll. At tea there was a charwoman, and Rush said to
Emily Sandford, " I have been thinking * good deal of the
story we were reading, about the Scottish chief who laid
upon his back and saw a spider dangling on his web, who
tried six times to reach his summit, and succeeded on the
seventh. The chief did so and succeeded." The prisoner
said, I have tried five or silt times and relied, and
probably if I try the sewn* time I shall be sue-
medal. Emily Sandford became mush alarmed, and said it
must be something more than poachers about whom he said
he had been out. The prisoner requestied her not to ask any
questions. Rush then went out, end passed through what
wart called in that part of the country " a loop," which was
littered with straw, and a portion of the road which was
never Uttered before, was littered by the prisoner's direction.
He would now allude to the facts more immediately con-
nected with the painful event. Theists Mr. Jenny's*dianer
being over, he was sitting in the dining-room alone. llis
son and eon's wife had left the dining-room and were in the
drawing-room, preparing for tea, a packet of cards being
upon the table. At this time Mr. lenity left the dining•
rum and proceeded through the entrance-ball to a porch in
front of the mansion. The moment he reached that porch,
some one very neer him, probably in the immediate
vicinity of the porch, presented a pistol to his
breast. It was loaded with slugs, it nearly blow his
heart to piton. He. fell down upon the floor, and
immediately expired. Almost instantly afterwards came in
at the side door of that mansion a man of the else, shape, and
habit of the prisoner, and he should have stated that the
