MURDER AT HIGHBURY.

Immediately upon the arrival of the prisoner, Cooper, at
Newgate, he was visited by Mr. M'Murdo, the surgeon of the
gaol, who, seeing his appearance, directed his immediate re-
moval to the infirmary of the gaol, where he now is, in a very
weak and exhausted condition. It is understood that the im-
pression upon the minds of the medical officers of the prison
is, that he has taken some mineral poison, or other deleterious
ingredient, and it appears doubtful whether he will be in a fit
state to take his trial at the present session of the Central
Criminal Court. Mr. Horry, who is appointed to conduct
his defence, has been in communication with the prisoner,
and has obtained a copy of the depositions, and taken
the necessary steps preparatory to the defence, but the wretched
man is in such a weak state that it is not at all probable that
the Judges will allow him to be tried until his strength is stifin-
( icntly restored to enable him to bear the fatigue of the trial.
It is at present understood that Good will be tried for the Roe-
hampton murder on Thursday, and his trial, and that of his
two accomplices, will certainly occupy the Court until Satur-
day night; so that in any case Cooper's trial will not come on
before Monday, but the impression of persons officially con-
nected with the Court is, that the trial will be postponed until
the next session.
