Barrett is the only one of the prisoner, who has
been found guilty. And being so, the Lord Chief Justice
at MOO passed sentence of death upon him. If it shall be
found that the two hours and a half which the jury took
to arrive at their verdict were chiefly occupied in deciding
whether Barrett should not be acquitted, instead of
whether the others, or some of them, should not be found
guilty, there can be no doubt that Barrett', case is one
which calls fat reconsideration-
