OLD COURT.
(Goneladed haajesekrday's Ira.)
THE STEPNEY MURD
The Lord Chief Baron then proceeded to sum np, He
commenced by giving it general outline of she pas, and of
the facts that were relied upon to support the charge, and
he observed that in the present inquiry the jury were re-
bored from the difficulty which sometimes arose in dorm
of this description, d discovering in the But plain whether,
in point of fact, a murder had been committed, because
there could be no doubt that the unhappy demand was
murdered under circumstances of very great. brutality and
violence, either on the evening of Monday, the 13th of
Angutt,, or on the following morning after she had risen
from bet bed ; and the only question for them to ocoafider
wee whether the primmer was proved by the evidence to
be the Jason who committed the murder. The learned
lady rhea Ilenceeded to call the attention of the jury to all
the IMMIIIIIII pet to in the case, and he particularly 4eurred
upon the feet that the •wner had not attempted to ao-
omit ba say MEW for the poeseseion of the cheque,
which these was no doubt wee even to the deceased on the
mese day thane met with her untimely fate. The learned
tft:ea ceseitsion, said that the most important piece of
the prisoner was the paroel,and that if
they should he made it up, they must form thei
own °pinks as to the effect of that evidence.
The primmer, who listened with great attention to the
eheervaitoos of his lordship, interposed once or twice
awing the summing up, and corrected the learned judge
upon some points in the evidence.
The jury retired at a quarter past 5 o'clock to consider
their verdict.
At twenty minutes pest 6 o'clock the jury returned
Into court. The prisoner gazed anxiously at each of tho
jurymen en he entered the box, and exhibited great
anxiety.
Mr. Hemp, the deputy clerk of arraigns, then inquired of
, them whether they had agreed upon their verdict.
The tango= of the jury in a low tone said, " We have ;
we Ind the primmer Guilty."
Mr. Heeep then asked the prisoner in the usual form
whether holed anything to say why judgment of death
skald not be pulsed upon him.
The Lamed Judge put on the black cap and was about
to pees sentence, when the prisoner, in a hiirried and ex•
abed mean, said, " My lord, can I be allowed to may a

The Chief Baron intimated that he would hear what he
had to say.
The prisoner then with great rapidity and in • strong
Irish accent, addressed the court and rid—" lam not
guilty. I have not many days now to live, and I will
weak the truth. On Handily, the 13th el August, I was
at work for Mr. Rowland in repairing homage ; and, as the
Lard is my judge, and I shall have to ge before Him be-
fore long, I west home after I had does ray work, and did
sot go out again until sight o'clock the neat The
triton Ilaynamil says he saw me on the evening of the
lath in the Grove-road, but I solemnly declare before God,
whom I shall see before long, that! was at home in my own
place at the time, and I was sound asleep when the
other witness says he saw me the next morning. As to
the murder having been committed with my hammer, I
never hurt man, woman, or child in my life ; and as ho the
boot that has been produced, I can say that I never saw it
until it was produced at the police court, and that I never
' wore it; and I declare before all present that what I state
as true as God is my judge, and I shall have to
before Him before long." TU prisoner here slapped hill=
upon his breast., and said, "My heart is light. I thank
your lordship for the patient manner in which you have
ailed my case ; and I also thank the counsel both for sad
against me for the manner they have conducted the ease.
I thank Mr. Parry, and I am very grateful to my own
sonnsel for the way he has defended me, not forgetting the
attorney, Mr. Wood, who has done all he could for me and
tried to get withers" to speak in my behalf, and I am sorry
to say I have not paid him yet. What I have said is the
real fact, as God ia my judge."
The Lord Chief Baron then addressed the prisoner to the
following effect :--James Mullins, you have been convicted
of the crime of wilful murder upon the person of Mary
lsl committed on the 13th of August last. You have
yourself sn
very properly commended the patience ef the jury,
madam, the propriety of the conduct of the conned on both
aides, even of those employed against you ; and the jury,
after a trial of two days, and after the most paged con-
sideration and deliberation, have returned a reedit*
of guilty against you. You have skimmed tbs
court upon the subject of the evidence that hes
been brought forward against you, but I must con.
toe that it would have been more satisfactory to me if you
bad addressed your obbervations to some point in the case
which was considered by me as really hawing against you.
You have confined your attention solely to those facts of
the case which I myself warned the jury to pay little regard
to ; not that thine matters so proved were untrue, but
because it appeared to me that they were not of a nature to
lead to the imputation contained in the indictment—that
they nog' lit be grounds for westing augecico, but did not
furnish any proof against you. If you Lad addressed your-
self to what I oonsidered the grave part of the case against
yon—the possession of the 101. cheque—if you had stated
you had become possessed of that tie, and if you
hid stated whether the charge you made t Emus was
true or false, it would have been much to the parpoes. The
remarks you did make appear to me to be wholly and en-
adery beside like rave proved awkinr6 you. Tl.• fa y, .rho
haw heard all the fee* have found you guilty, and, with-
out some explanation, which you have not furnished,
and without some evidence of which there does not ap-
pear to be any existence, I own I cannot see how any
reasonable person could come to any other conclusion
than that the charge you made against Emma
wee altogether false, and that you were the person
arm responsible for those marks of guilt which have
been given in evidence. The crime was a moat wicked and
aggravated one. You destroyed the life of this poor help-
lees old woman, and it was clear and manifest that the
crime was committed under circumstances of very great
personal cruelty, although she probably felt very little pain,
as the effect of the brit blow that was inflicted upon her
mart have been to deprive her of all sensation. Whoever
committed the murder took oars that by that first blow all
chant* of recovery should be gone that life should be
extinct. I endeavoured to lay the case wind you before
the jury in each a manner as that they should decide en-
tirely for themselves upon the facts, and I am now of opi-
nion that those circumstances to which von allude were
rather calculated to embarrass the jury than otherwise ;
but now that the verdict has been gives I am hound to say
that lam entirely satiated with it. Ido sot see how, with
the evidence before them unoontradicted and unexplained,
the jury could have come to any other conclusion than the
one they have dose. It only remains for me to exhort you
to make the beet use of the time that will be spared to you
before the execution of the sentence. It is my duty to pus that
sentence which the law provides for so awful a crime, and I
do not feel called upon to add anything to the precise tense
of that sentence. If you can even now make it manifest
that you are innocent of the crime of which you have been
convicted by giving explanations upon those important fea.
twos of the ease to which I have alluded, I have no doubt
that the advisers of the crown will pay every attention to
any cogent or real proof that you can lay before
them that you have been improperly convicted of
this offence, and that the sentence of the law
ought not, therefore, to be carried into effect. The learned
Jude, who appeared a good deal affected while he was
pawn* judgment, concluded by sentencing the prisoner to
death in the u,su manner.
The prisoner listened with great attention to the remarks
of the learned Judy, and when he had concluded he turned
round and walked hastily from the bar.
The court was crowded during the whole day, and the
trial appeared to excite very great interest. Owing to the
excellent arrangements made by the sheriffs and their de-
putise, aided by the officers of the City police who were on
duty at the court, no inconvenience or confusion existed
darmg any portion of the proceedings.

tially amounted to this—Was a • legal between a
