ing before Mr. Justice Crompton.

on the part of the prisoner. He made a very able speech,
end contended that the evidence was not sufficient to
establish satidectorily that the deceared had met her death
by the hand of the primmer ; and he said that even
posing they should believe this was so, there vu
every probability th►t some dispute hid mien
between the parties upon the subject of the meout
of money that was to be paid by the primer,
and that acts of violence ensued which resulted in the death
of the deceased ; and he said that if the jury should think
this sou the case, they would be justified in convicting the
prisoner of manslaughter only. He then referred to the
demos, and called the attention of the jury to the discrepancy
that appeared to exist in the testimony of the witnesses as to
the nature of the coat or cloak worn by the plum, sad he
said that it was not inconsistent with the supposition th►t the
murder might have been committed by some other perme,
and the infamous character of the house was a dronmstanto
tending to favour this supposition.
