wits est Lad dot lost sight of I u 01,,r, from the time
he quitted the compound, until he *as stripped by
the sepoy. The witness, afterwards, weut with the
dead body to the uress-room.
The same question from the Firisoner, which was
put to the la•t witness, being repeated, the witness
said, that the Prisoner wis dressed, at the time of
the accident, in a shirt, 'owe trowsers, end a hat.
In answer to some questions from Sir Wu. flea-
ant7GUS, he further stated, that the two other EUro-
pesos looked on during the whole scene, from a
short distance, in the courdound, but dal not inter-
fere. Tiie witness knows the persons, but not the
names of those Europeans.
.Lushkuree, another Dhohee, and neighbour of
Manick, deposed ; that he 01W was present et the
murder, the circumstance-, of which lie detailed in
nearly the same terms with the two fernier wit-
nesses. lie further stated, that the Prisoner had
his bayonet concealed in the letose trowsers which
he wore; and that he held down the deceased with
his knee, while lie inflicted the wounds. The wit-
ness was all the tinie standing at a short distance—,
he was once proceeding to separate them, but the
Prisoner quitting itianick and running at hid,. the
witness 'fled into his house. Poster haring after:.
wards gone, end flhersick being found dead. the wit-
ness told Googols tu•go and glee information. The
two other Europeans, who secompaiiied the Pri-
soner; were without arras.

Being cross-esentined by Mr. Menem), du be-
, half of the Prisoner, the witness admitted that it
was a dark night, and that people 'mutd only be
seen at a short distance. He feel•giti7e.l the Pri-
soner, howeter, at the time—he being in the daily
habit of coining to the house of the deceased. He
knew him by fit-a voice. On further exerniution, by
Sir Ww. Betterments, the witness said, that the
Prisoner did not mu, he tame walking; and went
away walking it wall already dark when he can*
in, and the d.l!knetal was -increasing eiery ritinute.
In answer to a question limn one of the Jury, the
witness said, that Gonne folloWed the Prisoner
iminediateiv.
Sooltein Sing, a aepoy of the 4th native infantry,
deposed, that lie war on guard at the Cuttawalle '
watch-house, upwards of e months ago; when con-
goo Cattle and told him, that an E'oropean had
killed a Dhobee. The witness did not then see
where the European wu ; hot thingon took him
on, and they come up with him on the outside of
the bazar, about too or MI pacer from the watch.;
home. The witness could not tell whether Chitiecio
had or could have had the European at the time in
sight It was after dusk, but not Pitch-dark. The
witness thinks, that a man mold not have been seen
at the distance of 100 paces, Isecruse the hszar and
the passengers intercepted the view. When they
came up with the prisoner, lie was walking alone,
with a bayonet in his hand, eivered with blood.
The witness required him to stop; and first taking
the bayonet from him, took him into custody,
The witness did nut tell bun why lie took hits
into custody ; nor did the prisoner offer any rens-
tante. The witness couilneted hum first to the
Cutwalle watch-house ; and afterwards delivered
liiin over, together with the bloody 'baronet, to •
terjeaut of hi. own regiment. The witness dist not
know the msii before; hut lie saw him a few days
afterwaids ut Agrn, and is sure ihr p,isoner at the
bar is the same person.
On being croselneetioned from the Bench, and
by the Coninel for the prisoner, the witme,s fur-
ther deposed, that Gungoo pinuted out the min,
when they came close up to Ida ; that lie seized
lima, between the bazar and the narracks, about the
leugth of=ae roam front the bazar;—that lie saw
no Europeans near at the time. though there were
Europeans passing to and fru ; and that, on de-
livering him over, the witness told the reticent that
the prisoner had killed a Dholsee—to which the
Prieoner said nothing.
One. of the Jury having expressed a desire that
the witness should be asked whether or not the
prisoner appeared to be drunk at the time, the
Chief Justice observed. that lie was on the point
of putting that gm-stint; ; hob consiilerieg, that
drunkeiniew, if pre•rd. would Ito no excuse what-
ever, he did net think it necessary. If the Jury
wished, however, he would put the question. The
question was put accordingly ; and the witise,s re-
plied, that he did not know—lie did not see the
prisoner stiee.ter.
The evidence for the liros.eention being here
ended, a written &fence was delivered in by the
Prisoner, mid read to the Court. It stated, that
on the evening of the pith of June, the prisoner,
with three others, went to the bazar at Munro, amid
bought risme articles. As he ~.43 rituridtig to the
canteens' ors, one Matthew Wylie Caine up to him,
and asked him to take his bavonet to the barracks,
as be himself was goin, to the canteen for some
liqner. The pi-wooer took the bayonet, without
I making at it, and wullted uu to the Mirricks. Some
people then came up, awl, after looking the pri-
soner hard in the face, said he was a !intoner ; that
a Die:Mee had been killed, and that.llllllleXill a line-
mitt in his hand, he mart be taken up. The prisoner
went with them ; aud nest day, the sisitnew seeing
I • in custody, swore falsely to les person.
Sir Haney rt IJSSEL —" Hive you the man here
who gave yno the bayonet?—How came you not
to bring him ?"
The prisoner replied, that he kad not the means
of bringing him.
Sir HtNIY Russet" —" It reennot Ise. We
know that, particularly in this country, the Maws-
tunes, when they semi down a prisoner, are always
very careful to inquire, whether he wi-pre to have
any witnesses sent—and that Commanding Officers
are the Caine."

The prisoner affirmed, thit he hid told the Ma-
gistrate at Agra what witnesses he wanted but that
be was ordered away next day. On his arrival here,
seven weeks ago, he was not asked whether he
wanted any witnesses; he mentioned it, however, to
Mr. Justice Marten.
Another man, belonging to the 171 h Regiment,
who had accompaniel the witness from Nliittro,
lc-ing present in Court, was r.:olril lip and sworn.
Ile deposed, that he wes present when the prisoner
was bronght before the Mitto.crate at Agra that
the prisoner was then asked, whether he had any
witness to c 411? In which he replied, that he hart

gistrate.
Sir timer Rester.t.—" I em very happy to hear
this, for the sake of the Magistrate; for the orders
on the subject are very strict."
Mr. Ourtistn. the gaoler, was then sworn. He
deposed, that he has been in charge of the Prisoner
since the t9ilt or gOtb of September. On
nevem first arrival, he was asked by the Witness
whether Ire wished any witnesses to be petit for? hot
he made no direct answer. Three or four days sf-
terwrirds ht wus sent before Mt. Martin, and on
hue return he said to the N'itstess, that Mr. Niartyn
had toll him, that his witnesses would lie brought
down time enough for the trial. Afterwards, on
the 4th of November, the witness spoke to him
again on the subject; when the Prisoner gave him
a list of the names of the witeigsaes whom lie wished
to appear. This list was new produced in Court,
bat the name of Wylie was not found among theta.
Charles Palter Marlyn. Esq. one of 'the Mugu:-
trates of Calcutta, was neat called up. He de-
posed, that the Prison-r was brought before him
on the 19th, and ,2311 of September ; ou one of these
days the Prisoner told Trim, that lie wished fur cer-
tain witnesses, for whom hr (Mr. Maityn) promised
to make application. He did make Implication
