before her lips. Her costume was that of civilisation, being
a dress with heavy flounces, an elegant toga made of young
tukto fur deeply fringed, and a bonnet of the style invented
on the principle " cover the head by a rosette on it,s back."
As Tookoolito continued speaking I could not help admiring
the gracefulness and modestyof her demeanour. Simple and
gentle in her way, there was a degree of calm intellectual
power about her that more and more astonished me. 3 felt
delighted beyond measure, because of the opportunity it
gave
me for becoming better acquainted with these people
through her means, and I hoped to improve it toward the
furtherance of the great object I had in view. After a stay
of some duration she went on shore, and the following day

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Yesterday

THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)

This morning' Gregorio Mogni, an Italian, was placed in
the dock charged with the manslaughter of Michael liar-
rington. The extraordinary circumstances under which the
trial came on, one man (Pelizzioni) having been convicted of
murdering the deceased, being now in Newgate under sen-
tence of death, excited great interest.
The prisoner was asked through an interpreter whether
he pleaded guilty or not guilty to the charge. He answered
in Italian, " For my misfortunate, I am guilty for what 1
have done in my own self-defence."
Mr. Justice Byles—That is a plea of " Not Guilty."
On being asked whether he chose a jury of Englishnreu
or a mixed jury of Englishmen and foreigners, he decided
in favour of a mixed jury.
The prisoner being undefended, Mr. Justice Byles said
that being a foreigner it was his duty to assign hifit a
counsel, and he would therefore ask Mr. MontaguWilliams,
to watch the case on behalf of the prisoner.
Sergeant Ballantine having opened the case for the tiro-
secution,

EMI= Shaw, the wife of the landlord of the public hOuse
in which the fracas took place, and Giovanni Mogni, a
brother of the prisoner, were then-examined.
Sergeant Ballantine said he should now call Pelizzioni,
who was under sentence of death.

Seraphino Pelizzioni (or Pollioni), examined by Ser-
geant Ballantine, said—l am under sentence of death in New
gate. I have been in this country 10 or 11 years. I vi-a's at
the Anchor publichouse on the 26th of December. I .4-as
not there when the row began. I was at the publichouse
of Mr. Bordessa when I heard there was a row down at the
Anchor between the Italians and the English, and that my
two cousins were there. I went down to take them away,
and directly I went in I heard a woman scream. It was ihe
landlady. When she saw me she said, "Oh, Seraphino, don't
let them make a row." I said if you will try to keep the Eng-
lish one side, I will keep the Italians on the other. I left
her at the bar, and opened the bagatelle room part of tho
way to get in, when I received a blow on my head, which
knocked me down. Half my body was inside, and half of
it was outside. Some one dragged me out and the door
was shut. When the police came one gave me in charge.
A woman said, "I give you in charge, because you knocked
me down with your fish" I saw a man lying across the
room, but I don't know who it was. I had no knife in my
possession at that time. A small white-handled knife was
taken from me at the police-station. It was not this knife
(the knife with which the surgeon said the wound might
have been produced, and which belonged to Gregorio).
Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—l do not know that
at the station I was charged with stabbing Rebbeck. There
was blood on my hands, but it came from the wound on my
head. I don't think I said, "I only protected myself."• I
don't know what those words mean.

Mr. Henry Negretti, optician, of Hatton-garden, detailed
the circumstances of his visit to Birmingham, where hQ
found Gregorio.
•
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Montagu Williams then addfessed the jury on tha
part of the prisoner.

Mr. Justice Byles having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to five years' penal servitude.
