The prisoner'Thurtell appealed to his Lordship, and
requested that he tvohjel again put it to the Jury to say,
whether they would not now adjourn? Ile trnsted his
Lordship would take into consideration the -exhausted
state in which he and his fellow prisoner were; and the
extreme importance- of the question they had, to de-
cide. It was not impossible that the case ror the pro-
secution would still occupy some hours, and then there
would be the defence; he hoped and trusted the Jury
would consider these circumstances, and consent to ad-
journ now, that they might. come-again to the enquiry
to-morrow, with renovated powers and clear judgments.
His Lordship observed be bad already declared his
readiness to 'adjotu-n, if the Gentlemen of the Jury
thought fit. •

themselves so much fatigued but that they could still
proceed.
His Lordship obsersielit was his duty to sit and di-
rect this -enquiry to long as the Jury felt themselves
equal to the discharge of their duty ; and by law it was
contemplated that enquiries of this description should
terminate in one sitting. Still, however, their first ob-
ject world he to afford to the prisoners the fullest and
fairest niiettigation. It had just been intimated to him
by the'Cotinsel for the prosecution,. that their case wAs.

he would adjourn.
