In the opening speech of Mr. Clark for the prosecution,
he said the object of the prisoner in committing the murder
appeared to him to be very clear. The prisoner had effected
an insurance for £lOO on the life of the deceased Mary
Wells Streeter, and in order to obtain that money at her
death, it was incumbent on him to show that she had not
taken her own life, and that she had not suffered violence
from his hands. Having arranged his plans he next de-
stroyed his mother in order that he might repre-
sent that she had murdered Miss Streeter, and to
save himself from the consequences of such an
act he artfully declared he had done so in self-defence.
As a reason for the killing his brothers it was suggestive
of one of two things—either they had witnessed his acts,
and it was absolutely necessary they should be got rid of to
enable him to get the insurance money, or that they were
disposed of to convey a false impression of the ferocity of
his mother, and to show that he might have shared a simi-
lar fate had he not used the violence he did in resisting her
attack, which terminated in her death. He did not know
the grounds of the defence, but if it was intended to persist
that the mother was murdered in self-defence, then the whole
facts of the case were opposed to such an assertion; while
if, on the other hand, it was contended the murders were
committed while the prisoner was in a state of insanity, the
letters written by him, and his whole conduct, completely
disproved any unsoundness of mind on his part.
Mr. Clark occupied one hour and a quarter in the delivery
of his address, and during the whole of the time the pri-
soner never for a moment removed his eyes from off the
learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech the
prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in-the
coolest manner imaginable, and continued so occupied
during the progress of the trial.
The only additional feature in the ease was that elicited
from his father, who stated that his wife's mother had died
a lunatic, and that his brother had also been confined in a
lunatic asylum for a long time.

The case for the prosecution having closed, and Mr.
Best having made an ingenious speech for the defence, and
The learned judge having summed up the evidence,
The jury at 10 minutes past six retired to consider their
verdict, and after an absence of five minutes returned
into court with a verdict of guilty.

The prisoner was then asked if he had anything to say
why sentence of death should not be passed upon him,
when he replied in a firm voice--,‘ I am not guilty."
The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the
usual manner, and ordered the prisoner to In handed over
to the custody of the Sheriff of Surrey.
The execution will take place at Horsemonger-lane
Gaol.

The prisoner appeared to be the rOost unconcerned in the
whole court, and walked from the dock with the most stolid
indifference.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
SENTENCE FOR THE LIIIXL
tGAINST JOBSON.

Upon the Recorder taking his
seat on the bench this
morning, he ordered David W
enlYss Jobson, who had been
convicted of libelling Sir Janie,
Fergusson, Bart , M.P.,
and other persons, to be placed at the bar to receive the
sentence of the Court.

Upon being asked by the officer of the court what he had
to say why sentence should not be passed on him, he nod-
ded his head, meaning no, and b
--Landed in a written paper,
which was read by the Recorder, who, after perusing it,
addressed the prisoner :—You
have handed me a certificate
that you are not in good health. I will take care that in
the sentence I am about to passl-1130n you the medical officer
of4he prison I am about to send
you to will exa-
mine you, and nothing shall be done by way of punishment
which you are not able to undergo. You have been con-
victed of three most malicious libels, and also in another
case with not only uttering a libel,
but doing so with a
view of extorting money from a gentleman. It is in that
case that I shall visit your offence with a severe punish-
ment. The sentence of the court is, that you be im-
prisoned and kept to hard laboxr for twelve months in
the House of Correction of the county in which the offence
was committed ; and that at the expiration of that sentence
you eater into your own recognisances in the sum of £BO,
and find two sureties in the sum of £4O each, to keep the
peace for one year towards her Majesty's subjects, and
particularly those you have libelled.
The prisoner then bowed to the Recorder, and walked
from the dock without saying a word.

FELONIOUSLY WOUNDING.
Pietro Marsini and Tomaso karsini were indicted for
feloniously wounding John Mullis and John Geary, with
Latent to do thous griovotts bodily harm. (Thu fa„ uf this
case appeared in The Sun when tb.2 prisoner was committed
from Guildhall police-court.)

The prisoners, through ;
an altorpreter, pleaded guilty to
the charge of unlawfully wounding.
Mr. Cooper, with whom was Aix. Platt, appeared on the
part of the prosecution, and Nrs
Robinson defended the
prisoners.
The counsel for the prosecution said as the prisoners had
pleaded guilty to the minor part of the offence they should
offer no evidence as to the serious part of the charge.
It appeared the prisoners were
in the street playing with
a monkey, when the prosecutor,
upon seeing it, commenced
teasing it, which exasperated the prisoners and afterwards
caused a quarrel to take place between the parties, and
ended in the prisoners being taken into custody on the pre-
sent charge.!

The prisoners said if the meu had not touched the
monkey, they should not have committed the offence, and
were very sorry for what had takenplace.
The Recorder, addressing the prisoners through the in-
terpreter, said that did not justify
them in using a knife in
this country ; and sentenced them to six mouths' hard
labour in the Holloway House of Correction.

has just received a communication Which has literally caused
the quills upon that fretful porcupine to stand on end with
horror. A savant of

nounces the fearful. discovery he }......__. just made of the exist-
ence of a dreadful microscopic animal, the truchina
sparatis in the flesh of hogs, no matter how prepared,
whether you call it pork, ham, bacon, sausage, or polony.
When an individual happens to eat of this animal in abun-
dance he is observed to grow pale and emaciated in a few
' days afterwards; his strength deserts him and he dies at
the end of the sixth week. A post rnorton examination
shows the muscles of the body to be filled with truchina
sparatis, which proves that death must be occasioned by
muscular conottroption (m ink to the attacks of this horrible
