his conversation with Kitchener, on her goingbefore
the Coroner's Jury ; his conversation with his sister..
" And now I will bring the guilt more strongly hoMe
to the Prisoner :••• I• will prove that he said, have,
been as near hanging as e'ver man vas, and if J had
I should have been'ts happy-as I lain now."
Mr. GARAO w theti:sfated the circumstance of,Ahe
stockings, whiCh were folind piaistered with mud at
the• feet, and affirmed that patch,, on ,that, day, could

EVIDENCE FOR THE CROWN.

' Richard Frost said,. he kept the-Dog and Duck,
near the premises where Mr. Blight. lived. Ont.the
evening at the 234 of Sept. between eight and nine,
he recened an alarm from HeSter Kitchener ;. Ite
went diredly tb. Mr. Blight's premises ; he saw Mr.
Blight-sit in the anti-chair on the left hand side of
the tire-place ; it:wazi the back parlour. Jr. retch
was standing in the room Mr. Blight was sitting
',in the chair, supporting himself With his tWo hands.
.Mr.-AshleyCooper, Surgeon; • " I was called in
_about 3 hours after Mr. Blight received his wound;
• I finunt him lying on the flOer of a room which is
called the. back parlour ; I desired he might be
ried up to bed, Which was done, and I ordered
every personfrom the room, except the Surgeons,
the YrisOner, and. a Mr. Ferguson. I then examined
the wound, found 'it abotit two inches from the na-
val on the right side, anothe'r in the loin on the same
side, the anterior One near the naval having the ap-
pearance of a gun-shot wound. On examining the
Wounds I saw the contents of the bowels from each
.of them, and as-the body was inflated I pronounced
the wounds mortal, recommended a Slight dressing,
and that- the patient be kept free from disturbince:
staid tillnext morning at 7. As soon as I saw it
was.mortal, I thought it my duty to make some in-
quiry respecting who had done it. I said to Mr_
Blight, is there any peron whom you. suspect to
have committed this-Set?' His.answer was,
God knows I never dkt any man an injury that could
lead him to take my life ; but Patch has mentioned
to rue a man of the name of Webster,' I then turned
to Patch-and said who is this- Webster;' He an-
swered, he is a man ;who. wa suspe&ed of having
robbed thee-preMises, against whom a search-war-
'rant was granted—his house-was searched, his son
bas since bsconded; I said, surely you should send
forthe Bow-street Officers; • his premises, should be
again
.searched; Patch answered, No ; for nothing
would be found;. and if nothing was found, he should
certainly be-shot.' After. a tiMe it was suggested
that Mr. Blight's affairs were,not settled. I went to•
his bed-side, and in a tender way told him he Wag
not without danger; and that- his 'aff.iirsSricTilild bre.
settled. He, said he had tt draft of a Will which
was not• signed. Patch went for the will. I'said,
`'rWliat alteration do you wish He said, I wish
Mr. Patch and Mr. Ferguson. to be added as execu-
tors.'
.1 made the alteration, and Mr. Blight,. with
considerable difilcUltY, signed the will.. I.then went'
.tO7 bed; curl about hall: pa.t the next- morning
Patch Came and said, Blight 'is-in great pain, and is
anxious to know whether ,you can do any thing to
,save him. I ailswered, I amatraid it is impossible;
but I will rise immedi'aiely., I :went to him, found
him in much pain, and his belly swdln.' He told
me he had ,slept. an hour and a half. I. went to
London, and promised to return with a physician.
About four Dr. Barrington and myself went doWn,
and „fontid he had:leen de:id three quarters of an .
hour.. I opened- his body the wounds he received
wete'the cause of his death his, bowels were cut in
,three different places. As I left the house, I said to
Itch, it is right the-will should be left in.safe cos-
to4, therefore give it me. Patch- pulled it out of
his perket_iit was sealed, and depeSited with a per-
son of the, name of Brent."
