THE TONIC 11041 A ASEOCIATIO.V AT THE

MB MURDER IN THE QUBIN'S PRISON.

There appears to be no doubt that the Italian
Antonio de &del, against whom the oroner's jury have re.
turned a verdict of wJhd murder, will have to take his trial
for that canoe at the ensuing semen of the Central Criminal
Court, notwithstanding the feet that he la at present under •
sera ell of Id years' penal servitude, upon a conviction for
wisonding the domes= gentleman with intent to do grievous
bodily bane, irking out of the rote creamier's. The
transection =peen to be one of an altogether unusual kind.
The attack made by the prisoner upon the unfortuare
deer= we of the most deadly sad premeditated diameter,
and the solicitor to the Treasury, upon • suggestion made by
Kr. Canto, the magistrate belbre whom the =Mr was in-
! gaited into, received instruction' to prosecute on behalf of
the Crowe; and when the let rerun of the Centel Criminal
Court came on, be had no alternative, r the deceased we
still alive, but to prefer an indictment ageing De Ravi, in
the usual form, for fitioniously wounding, the bet count
charging the intent to murder, and the Nee= to do grievous
bodily harm. It was certain at this time that the injures
the decreed bed received must prove beat, sod the gees=
understanding, both on the pest of the reeratice, sod
the tourist for the definer, we, that the indicilmet spree
the primmer should stand over to the following NNW, as la
the event of the death taking pros, • verdict of weld mur-
der must inevitably be returned by the tereer's jury, end
any proceedings that night be takes ids the Widmer
for feloniously wounding would be rendered altogether nuga-
tory. Mr. Baron Mart= the =midi= judge, however,
resisted the postponement of the trial, and De 8.1.1 was
consequently tried upon the indictment that had been
found by the Grand Jary, and, being convicted upon
the minor count of wounding with intent to do
griever bodily harm, he was thereupon sentenced to be kept
fa par servitude for fifteen year. 012 the following day
