THE FIVE-FOLD MIIaDER.

MAIDSTONE, Thursday.
The trial of Southey was resumed this morning.
Mr. Poland and Mr. Philbrick, instructed by
Mr. Pollard, the solicitor to the Treasury, appeared
for the prosecution. Mr. E. T. Smith and Mr.

Blake Ellis, instructed by Messrs. Gold and Son,

solicitors, 1, Serjeants' Inn, Chancery-lane, repre-
sented the prisoner.
Miss Elizabeth Clifford, the daughter of the pro-
prietor of the coffee-house, proved that the prisoner
inquired on the evening of the sth for a bed, and
came again on the Monday and paid for the bed,

bringing the children with him afterwards about

ten o'clock.
The chambermaid at the coffee-house was also

called, and then a woman to whom the prisoner ap-
plied for lodgings at Ramsgate. Mr. Hills, the
governor of the gaol at Sandwich, and Mr. Emmer-
son, the surgeon, testified to the sanity of the pri-

Boner, the latter gentleman stating in reply to the
Judge that Southey always demeaned himself as
an ordinary, reasonable person. During the ex-
amination of Mr. Emmerson the prisoner set
up a loud wail of grief, shedding tears, and
exclaiming, when the fit had passed, that he
felt as if he suffered from a galvanic shock, and

that he was a murdered man. In cross-examina-

tion by Mr. Smith, the doctor said that the fact of

a person disguising himself was not indicative of
insanity. lie (the witness) did not think that the

coolness of an avowal of guilt showed mono-

mania. Mr. Einmerson, and Mr. Hills, the gover-
nor of Sandwich Prison, spoke to the fact of

prisoner being subject to fits of hysteria. Major
Bannister, the governtr of Maidstone gaol, also

deposed to the apparent sanity of the prisoner,
who objected on Sunday to attend chapel, as his

religious views were ntst " yet settled and defined."
Mr. Joy, the surgeon, also gave evidence as to
the prisoner's state of mind, expressing an opinion
that he was perfectly sane. Though subject to

fits of excitement and hysteria, his capabilities
were strong when the fit passed away, and he
was thoroughly coherent, though excited.
The statement made public by the prisoner on
the 14th of April, 1864, was read by Mr. Reed,
the deputy-clerk of the peace ; and Mr. Poland
said that closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. E. T. Smith then addressed the jury on be-
half of the prisoner, urging the defence of insanity,
and called the following witnesses :

Dr. Dolney, described as a physician and general
practitioner at Brompton, Chatham, stated that he
had seen the prisoner a night or two ago, and as the

result of the interview arrived at the conviction that
his mind was " quite unhinged." There was, he
said, a " wildness about his eye," and his pulse was
very quick, which denoted a good deal of irritability
and excitement. He had observed his demeanour
in court, and had arrived at the conclusion that he
was insane. It was possible, generally, to distin-
guish between real and feigned insanity, and witness
said he could distinguish between them, and he
should say that the prisoner was not feigning or
putting on insanity. Assuming all the facts in
evidence--

The learned Judge—What facts? You must put
specific facts to him to raise a question of science—
that is, whether such and such facts are symptoms
of insanity. But you cannot put all the facts to the
witness, that assuming (as has been proved) that
the prisoner went to the house and made an appoint-
ment with his wife for next morning, and kept the
appointment, and came to see her, and went up
stairs with her, taking a pistol with him, and then
after talking with her some time shot her, and upon
being instantly seized seemed calm and did not deny
the deed, whether these are symptoms of insanity,
or the contrary.
The witness said he should say " they were symp-
toms of insanity;" an answer which, notwithstanding
the solemnity of the occasion, seemed to cause some
general amusement.
The prisoner's counsel then asked whether there
was not a partial delusion which might overcome the
moral sense-and self-conkrol of the individual.
The witness said there was.

The witness was then cross-examined by the
counsel for the prosecution, and admitted that the
prisoner spoke on common subjects, but his manner
was rambling and incoherent. lie admitted, how-
ever, that persons were sometimes so who were quite
sane, and also thatpersons who were irritable and ex-
citable were often sane (answers which appeared to
cause considerable diversion); but, he said, the priso-
ner seemed to be suffering under a delusion. He was
then pressed as to what was the delusion he appeared
to labour under; and upon this the witness, after a
little hesitation, said he seemed " under delusions
upon religious subjects," and that there was "no
sense in him in that way"—that is, he explained,
that he had no faith, no religious creed, and went
on about Mr. John Stuart Mill. (A laugh.)
Mr. Poland—What ! is it a proof of insanity to
talk about Mr. John Stuart Mill ? (Laughter.)
Witness—Well, I don't know anything about
Mr. Mill. (Laughter.)
Mr. Poland—You know he is member for West-
minster, I suppose ?—Yes. •
The learned Judge—You don't assent to his doc-
trines, I suppose ?
The witness—l don't know what they are.
The learned Judge—l only want to know, when
you say that his talking about Mr. Mill was a proof
of insanity, how far you really go. Do you really
mean that you are so impressed against his opinions
(of which, perhaps, I know a little more than you
do), that you think talking of them a proof of in-
sanity ? Or, what is it you really mean ? By what
standard do you arrive at the conclusion that on
this account he was " under a delusion?"
The witness appeared to hesitate how to answer.
The learned Judge--You said he was "under a
delusion" upon religious subjects. Is it because he
was without faith, and without a creed, and talked
about Mr. John Stuart Mill, that therefore he was
under a delusion ?
Witness—No, I don't put it upon that ground.
The learned Judge—Then pray explain what you
mean by " delusion." What delusion ?
Witness said he seemed to think that he had
killed these persons from a sense duty.
The learned Judge—That is, he said so. He told

you that he thought so.
Witness--Yes. He said he had done it from a
sense of duty.
In answer to further questions witness said the
man bad told 'him he was destitute and could not
support them, and that therefore it was better to
kill them ; and putting everything together—his
wildness of eye, his rambling manner, his excited
demeanour, and the way in which he spoke—he
should say he was insane ; and so he should judge
from his conduct and demeanour in court, his wish-
ing to conduct his own defence, &c. (A laugh.)
Mr. Poland—Oh! that you think a proof of in-
sanity ? (A laugh.)
Witness said,
'taking all things together—that
among the rest—be thought the man insane.
He was asked whether he did not think the tele-
gram a proof of sanity ; and answered that it might
have been written in a lucid interval.
The learned Judge--Should you say that his in-
sanity was chronic ? Witness—Yes. Then was it
the same insanity as existed on the day you saw
him which had existed for a considerable time?
Yes ; I should say so. Did it appear to you that
he knew that murder was a crime ? It did not
strike me that he did. It is proved that shortly
before the act of homicide he said " Mind I had
reproaches enough last night; let me have not more
of them to-day ;" did that indicate any insanity ?
No, it did not • at that time I should say he was of
sound mind. He is proved to have said just after
the deed that if he had gone up to town he should
have gone under sentence of death. Was he then
aware that the punishment of murder was death ?
Yes, he was. Taking all the circumstances together,
should you say that at that time he had the sense
of right and wrong ?—Yes ; I should think he had
thee. You Iv ould not say that hysteria was a
proof of insanity ?—No. It is rather a proof, is it
not, of weakness of the nervous system, and excite-
ment?—Yes, it is. Should you say that when he
said what I have just referred to he knew that
murder was a crime ?—Yes, I should say so.
The prisoner's counsel suggested that perhaps the
witness had not understood the latter questions,
and he was accordingly recalled, apd the questions
being repeated by the learned Judge, he gave Binli-
liar answers.
Mr. Fry said he was far some time medical at-
tendant at the Union, and had seen many cases of
insanity there; and also for 27 years at the West
Kent Hospital, He had an interview with the pri-

goner about 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and
conversed with him for a quarter of an hour, and
the result of the interview was to impress on the
mind of the witness that the prisoner was of un-
sound mind. This opinion was founded on the ap-
pearance, discourse, and an extraordinary delusion
of the prisoner, which was, as he said, that
the " occasion required him to commit the two
murders committed." Assuming all the facts de-
scribed by the witness Ellis to be true, it was the
opinion of the witness that the prisoner was insane,
especially the calmness of the prisoner after having
committed such a hideous murder. The prisoner
told this witness that he did not consider murder to
be a crime. In answer to the learned Judge, the
witness said it was his opinion that the insanity of
the prisoner was accompanied with lucid intervals.
The witness said he asked him how he came to com-
mit such horrible murders, and the prisoner an-
swered that " the occasion required it." The wit-
ness said he believed the prisoner did not believe
that the acts were crimes.
Mr. Poland—He told you so ?—Yes. And you
believed him ?—Yes. And thought it a proof of
delusion ?—Yes ; certainly. He said that they (his
wife and child) were destitute, and that it was bet-
ter to rid them of life, and that it was right to do so.
You thought his moral sense so blunted that he did
not think that murder was a crime ?—Yes ; it so
appeared to me. (The witness said he could dis-
tinguish between feigned and real insanity, having
been frequently called in to decide. He admitted,
however, that it might be difficult to do so, and that
it might be necessary, in order to detect feigned
insanity, to have several interviews. It was put to
him whether the prisoner's observation that "if
he returned to London he should return under the
sentence of death" did not indicate that he
understood the punishment of murder to be
death, upon which he hesitated a good deal, and
at first said he thought it did not, but, the
question being repeated by the learned judge, he at
last said he thought it did at that time. He was then
asked whether the telegram, " In prison ; my life is
over ; have to justify myself from most terrible
charges ; see my friend ; want his brother," &c.,
did not indicate sense and sanity ; upon which he
said that he should think it did at that time, and
that it showed that at that time the prisoner might
be of sound mind ; but it was not inconsistent with
either view, and was consistent with both.)
The learned Judge—Should you say that he knows
he is on his trial for murder ?—I do not think he
does. You think he does not know what is passing
in court?—l should doubt it. You so judge from
all you have seen of him ?—Yes. (These answers
seemed to excite some surprise in court.)
Mr. Sutton, surgeon, of Sittingbourne, was next
called, and said he had seen the prisoner once—yes-
terday—before the trial, conversed with him, noticed
his demeanour, and came to the conclusion that he
was subject to delusion, and consequently that at
the time of the murder he was not in a sound state
of mind ; and considering his actions at Ramsgate,
as proved in court, only strengthened his- opinion.
The learned Judge—What particular facts, sir,
strengthened your opinion?—His cool and collected
manner, and his display of affection for the child
before and after the murder.
Mr. Poland—That is, the affection he showed for
the child before he killed her strengthened your
view that he was not in a sound state of mind ?
Yes. That is, to kill a child he had previously
kissed was a proof of insanity?—Not that alone,
but it was confirmatory of the delusion.
The learned Judge—What delusion ?—That he
had committed no 'crime. Not a delusion as to any
fact or person, but a moral delusion 2—A destruc-
tive tendency.
Mr. Poland—He told you he considered it no
crime, and you took his word for it ; that is, that
he thought so ?—Yes ; it seemed to show delusion.
When you spoke to him on Tuesday, did he seem
to know that he was to be tried for murder ?—Yes,
I think he did. You don't place much reliance,
surely, on his being " cool and collected," do you ?
You have surely known cases of criminals " cool
and collected ?' (Witness admitted that he had,
but upon the whole, he said, he thought the pri-
soner not of sound mind. If asked a question, he
said, he could answer rationally, but his manner
was confused and rambling ; he did not say in-
coherent.)
The learned Judge—Do you • say that he knows
he is being tried for murder ?—Yes ; 1 think he
does. And understands what is going on ?—Yes,
I think so. And understands what you say ? —Yes,
I think so. I believe him to be rational on most
points; only as to his destructive tendency, and
these murders,. I think he is insane and does
know them to be crimes. How far should you say
this delusion or monomania extends ?—lt is, I
think, a homicidal mania ; although it is difficult
to define where insanity begins and ends. 1 think
it is homicidal mania.—ls it, do you think, general
or special—that is, a general tendency to homicide,
or a special tendency to kill particular persons ?
Not general.
This closed the evidence for the defence, which
had a good deal disturbed the gravity of the Court,
and gone far to deprive it of the solemnity which
usually attends a trial for murder.
Mr. Poland then addressed the jury in reply on
the part of the prosecution. The defence was, he
said, that the prisoner was insane, and it really
came to this, that he was to be considered insane on
account of the greatness of the crime ; but, accord-
ing to his view, there was no single action of the
prisoner previous to the murder that indicated
insanity.
The learned Judge summed up the case to the
jury, at the conclusion of which the jury retired to
consider their verdict. They were not long absent,
and on their return they, amid the breathless
silence of a crowded court, first pronounced their
finding that he was now of sane mind, and then
they returned the fatal verdict of " Guilty" upon
the charge of murder.
There was, upon this, not merely a murmur of
satisfaction, but the commencement of a burst of
applause, which was of course immediately checked.
The prisoner was then called upon in the usual
way to say anything he had to say against sentence
of death.
He said nothing, and, indeed, showed no feeling
at all.
Proclamation of silence was then made, and the
learned judge having assumed the black cap, was
about to pass the last dreadful sentence of the law,
when the prisoner spoke, and, in the same affected
tone of voice he had assumed throughout, desired to
address some observations to the Court, if he was
entitled to do so.
The learned Judge—Prisoner, you are at liberty
to show anything in arrest of judgment ; or to show
that from matter of law I cannot pass sentence upon
you, but you are not at liberty to question the pro-
priety of the verdict, or to enter into any extraneous
circumstances.
The prisoner, still in the same affected tone, de-
sired to have the memoranda he had made in the
course of the trial in order to enable him to make
some observations on the case.
The learned Judge—Prisoner, it would be vain.
It would be vain to have these memoranda. It
would be in vain to offer any observations, un-
less you are prepared to urge anything to show
that in point of law I am precluded from passing
sentence upon you. It would be vain to urge any-
thing else. Now is the time only to urge anything
in point of law to show that I cannot now proceed
to pass upon you the sentence of the law for the
crime of wilful murder.
The prisoner being now silent, seemingly im-
pressed with a sense of awe,
The learned Judge proceeded to pass sentence on
him. Prisoner at the bar, he said, you have been
convicted after the fullest trial, upon the most care-
ful investigation, of the awful crime of wilful mur-
der--the wilful murder of your own wife. Dreadful
as is the crime of murder under any circumstances,
the details of the present case are so horrible and
painful that I cannot longer dwell upon them. You
had, it is clear, too long indulged a wicked passion,
and evaded all the obligations of moral duty, and
then endeavoured to charge your crimes upon so-
ciety. I have no doubt that you are perfectly able
to appreciate what lam saying. Your time on
earth must now be short ; and if thoughts of a
righteous doom and future judgment have any
power over your mind, as it, is impossible to limit
the mercy of the Most High, turn your thoughts, I
pray you, to those subjects, and seek for mercy
where alone it can be found. My duty is, to pass
upon you the awful sentence of the law. (That
sentence was accordingly passed in the usual form.)
The prisoner, who seemed at last awe-struck and
spell-bound, was removed, and the vast audience
dispersed.

An engine driver on the Northern Railway,
named Dint, and residing at Lesquien (Nord), has
just killed his daughter by stabbing her with a
knife, after which he blew out his own brains with
a pistol. He was intoxicated at the time, but his
motive for this double crime is believed to be his
irritation at learning that his daughter, who is
1, unmarried, Was likely soon to become a mother.

The Institution of Civil Engineers.

The annual general meeting was held on the
evening of Tuesday, Dec. the 9th, Mr. John Robin-
son M'Clean, President in the chair. The report of
the council stated that the position which the insti-
tution had now attained was most satisfactory. In
the charter of incorporation granted in the year
1828, and in the by-laws and regulations based
upon that charter, the designation of " Civil Engi-
neer" was made to embrace every branch of engi-
neering except that devoted to the military art, as
the founders seemed to have anticipated that a time
would arrive when, as a matter of course, every one
in any way connected with the profession would
desire to belong to the institution. This, it was
urged, should be constantly borne in mind, and no
limitation should be introduced, or restrictions be
imposed, tacitly or otherwise, which might operate
to render the objects less comprehensive ; but efforts
should be directed to consolidate all departments
under ,one corporation, and thus to add materially
to the power, influence, and importance of the
profession at large. There had been 24 ordinary
general meetings during the past session, when 12
" papers" only had been read out of those submitted
to the council, owing to the protracted and animated
discussions to which they gave rise. For these Tel-
ford medals and premiums of books had been
awarded to Capt. Tyler, R.E., Messrs. J. W. Bazal-
gette, C. Reilly, E. H. Clark, T. Hawthorn, E.
Fletcher, E. Johnston, 0-. 0. Mann, W. J. W.
Heath, and J. Taylor, and the Manby premium in
Mitrtritir. H. B. nederstedt. About 300 volumes
had been added to the library during the year, and
a portrait of the late Sir William Cubitt, past pre-
sident, by Mr. Boxall, R.A., had been received
from his son, Mr. Cubitt. A tabular statement
showed that in the twelve months the number of
elections had been 142, of deceases 21, of resigna-
tions five, and of erasures eight, leaving an effective
increase of 108, and making the total number of
members of all classes 1,203, being an increase of
nearly 10 per cent. since the last annual meeting.
From the abstracts of the receipts and expenditure
for the year ending the 30th of November, it ap-
peared that the receipts from fees alone had been
£3,950 as against disbursements of all kinds of
£3,511; while the income account was further in-
creased by the dividends upon trust funds, amount-
ing to £353, and upon investments (not being trust)
of £4OO, as well as from other sources to the extent
of £350. The income from subscriptions and fees
had been more than doubled in the last 12 years,
and that from dividends, &c., was upwards of seven
times what it was at the same period. The realised
property of the institution now comprised :-1,
general funds, £12,510 ; 2, building fund, £2,503 ;
and 3, trust funds, £9,970, making a total of
£24,983, as against £22,541, at the date of the pre-
vious report. By the will of the late Mr. Appold,
whose interest in the welfare of the society was un-
flagging, provision was made for a sum of £l,OOO
being conveyed to the institution on the decease of
Mrs. Appold. The Benevolent Fund established in
connexion with the institution 12 months ago had
since been fully organised, and the donations received
had amounted to £22,782, and the annual subscrip-
tions for 1865 to £712, being a little in excess of
and an increase of 30 per cent. upon the sums pro-
mised respectively. In conclusion, reference was
made to a private bill to be submitted to Parliament
in the ensuing session, for which plans had been de-
posited and the usual notices served, as it appeared
calculated to affect very seriously the interests of
the institution. The project alluded to was entitled
" Houses of Parliament Approaches," and part of it
contemplated the compulsory purchase of all the
property on the north side of Great George-street,
including the house occupied by the institution. The
council felt it to be their duty to direct attention to
this subject, believing it to be one which demanded
mature consideration. Thanks were then unani-
mously voted to the president and other members
of the council, as well as to the officers. The ballot
