alto* die to contradict it. I own lam guilty. He was a
bad master to me, and I wonder did not do it before.
Mr. Diwtot, hotr=e-surgeon, King's College Hospital,
said, that the catise ‘,9-5 a rtio ~,,•11,(1
in the head. (A bullet taken flow the brain of deceased was
produced in Court )
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—He believed that
the rupture of vessels in the head or concussion causing con-
gestion would injure a person's mind. Such an injury might
cense insanity in the case of an elderly person, but a younger
might regain the full power of his faculties.
The prisoner's statement before the magistrate was then
read. It added nothing t the evidence already produced.
Mr IlaiLairritE, for the prisoner, addressed the jury. He
would not attempt to deal with the facts of the case.
He would rather confine himself to the state of-the pri-
soner's mind at the time this act was committed. The
Learned Counsel then entered into an analysis of the
different degrees of insanity, and contended that from an in-
jury received some seven or eight years ago the prisoner's
brain was affected to such a degree that he. (although ap-
parently sane enongh on ordinary matters) had this singu-
lar morbid delusion, that every action of his late master's,
however kind that might be, was distorted into an act of
tyranny, and to be revenged accordingly. The Learned
Counsel reviewed the whole facts adduced in evidence, and
endeavoured from them to carry out the particular line
of defence be had laid down.
Mrs. Wicks (mother of the prisoner) was then called, and
stated that her son had received a severe injury by a fall,
which had for a short time the effect of unsettling his under-
standing. He attempted to commit suicide about two years
ago.

Mr. Harvey, 'surgeon, proved that the prisoner had met
with an accident which had considerably injured his head,
at the period referred to by the mother.
Mr. Baron PARKE summed up tie evidence, and the, Jury
almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.•
The Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner, and said
it was impossible, after the evidence that had twen adduced,
that the Jury could come to any other conclusion than that
he was guilty of the foul and horrible crime of which he had
been accused, and it appeared to have been committed in, the
most calm and deliberate manner. Under' these circum-
stances it was impossible to hold out to him any hope of
mercy, and he therefore entreated him to make the best use of
the short time that remained to him in this world, and en-
deavour to obtain pardon in that which was to come. The
Learned Judge then passed the sentence of death in the usual
form.

The prisoner, who during the whole trial appeared to be
quite unmoved, did not apjiear in the least decouraged at the
sentence. As soon as the Learned Judge had concluded, he
begged to be allowed to say a few words. lie then said "that
he wished fb thank the gentleman who defended him for hi 3
exertions ; he could see, however, it was of no use, but still he
wished to thank him."

The prisonertheawalked away from the Bar with a firm
step.
