As far as he could ascertain she had been enciente three
or four months.—(Renewed sensation.)

Wyider, sonstoble, was csillsd, Rad said he had
known the prisoner for twe've months.
Two letters were then handed in, the first dated Bth
March, enclosing the prisoner 21., and trusting that she
would not make any further call upon the writer, and
the other from a person saying that ho was too poor to
help her, and advised her to come to Brighton. He said
he had pawned his watch, and sold his wife's counterpane.
Mr. CLARKSON then proceeded to address the jury on
behalf of the prisoner. He said he should lay evidence
before them to show that at the time the prisoner com-
mitted the offence imputed to her she was in an irre-
sponsible state of mind, although he :admitted that it
would not show that she was not a participator in or
an accessory to the murder. He complained that new
witnesses were brought forward, of whom neither him-
self or his Learned Friend had ever heard of before, and
with whom they were totally unprepared to grapple.
What was the value of the Act of Parliament which
stated that depositions should be taken in the presence of
the prisoner, that they should be sworn in his presence,
and that he should have a copy of them when he sought
them, if fresh witnesses were to be brought forward to
give testimony which the accused could not rebut P Let
him remind thorn that the trial of the unfortunate
woman at the bar was postponed until the present session
on an affidavit which stated that the parties who made
it, believed that the unfortunate woman was insane.
The woman, Smallbone, of whom they had heard no-
thing until to-day, stated that the prisoner was seen by
her, at the doar of the room, early in the evening of the
Tuesday ; but she had been presented, without affording
the prisoner an opportunity of rebutting her evidence,
and, possibly, of showing that she was elsewhere. Who
would believe that one of the protectors of their liberties
had been the assailant of two women, that he had
lived with the woman in the way stated f He had been
put into the box merely for the purpose of undergoing
the ceremony of saying who lie was, and possibly by his
appearance indicating that he had no share in the murder.
Could any one put their finger on any part of the evi-
dence, and say that the prisoner committed the murder?
The evidence of the witness Smallbone assumed that the
murder was committed at the time the door was half
opened. What, committed in the light of day, and in a
house full of lodgers? It was improbable. Then he
dismissed the evidence with respect to the prisoner's
wish to get to Brighton, by saying that she had been
proved to have entertained the notion since the preceding
Christmas. There was no motive for the act—the gain
was nothing. He (Mr. Clarkson) confidently submitted
that the dreadful charge of having committed wilful and
deliberate murder was not proved against the prisoner
in so clear a manner as they could return a verdict which
would consign her to an ignominious death.
The following evidence was then adduced for the de-
fence :

Cross-examined—The prisoner filled the situation of
kitchen maid in the tame famil) at Brighton were wit
ness was engaged as cook,.

Robert Young, also a fellow-servant of the prisoner's
at Brighton, in another family, said that during the four
years he knew her she never appeared in good health,
and on one occasion he remembered she had a fit which
continoed for two hours, and during that time she raved
very much. She was always considered in the family to
be a kind and humane person.
Jane Rich, the prisoner's sister, who was much af-
fected while giving her evidence, was next examined.
She said that the prisoner was 33 years old. She was
always labouring under lowness of spirits, and would fre-
quently sit down and cry for half an hour together.
Her mother was subject to fits, and her brother had been
out of his mind.
