Mary Caen was put to the bar on an
meat charging her with the ttilful murder of
Maurice Fitzgerald, in Horne's-alley, G.ray's..
Inn-Lane, on the t6th of December last. The
circumstances of this case have so lately been
fully laid before the public, that a repetition of
them is rendered unnecessary, beyond the fact
that a witness was called who swore shut she saw
the prisoner wash the yard some time after the
murder. There were 16 witnesses sworn for the
prosecution, which was conducted by Mr. Lira,
derick. The prisoner had no Counsel.

she, the witness, said, " Do, do, and make haste."

them any questions.
The case for the prosecution having closed,
Mr. Baron ALEXANDER called on the prisoner,
who was deeply affected, for her defence. She
handed in a written paper, the contents of which
were merely a repetition of her former statement,
Mr. Baron ALVCANDER summed up the evi-
dence to the Jury, iu doing which he pointed out
how important it was that every particular point
should be weighed. If they should entertain any
doubt on the case, it would be their duty to give
the heoeficof it to the prisoner, but if they be-
lieved the evidence, awful as the result would ha
to the prisoner, it would he their duty to find a
verdict accordingly. The case was in their hands,
and on their oaths they were bound to decide.
The Jury consulted for a short time, and thee
retired for twenty minutes. On their return, the
Foreman gave in the following verdict :—" We
find the prisoner Guilty of the Murder."

on the unhappy woman, and concluded by order-
ing her for execution on Monday morning before
the gaol of Newgate, and her body delivered to
the surgeons.
