HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH.'

M nsisy the Court. proceeded to the trial of Mrs.
Smith, accused of poisoning Margaret Warden. After
a considerable portion of the evidence for the Crown
had been gone into, and about five o'clock in the after.
noon, one of the Jurymen was suddenly seized with a
fit of apoplexy, and was removed to an adjoining room,
where he was attended by a medical Gentleman, who
had been cited as a witness in the case. It was at first
thought he would be able to resume his duties in half
an hour, but that time having elapsed, Dr. Christian
was examined as to the state of the sick Juryman.

Dr. Mackintosh was also called for the same sub-
ject; and it appearing to the Court, that from the con-
dition of the Juryman, it would be contrary to huma-
nity to permit him to sit out the case, proposed to
adjourn the trial. The prisoner's Counsel objected to
the time in which it was at first proposed to record the
adjournment, as it did not appear to leave the case
open to argument, on the propriety of continuing the
case, and the Lord Advocate objected to the altered
form, by which it was intended to meet their views,
preferring to go on with the case rather than that the
ends of justice should be frustrated (the prisoner being
running her letters) by a farther adjournment, con-
tending that the array of eminent Counsel opposed to
him, with all the authorities before them, must be per-
fectly prepared to proceed.
The Court, however, so modified the record as to
suit the views of both parties, by simply finding that
the trial could not proceed, and the case stands over for
next Monday, at ten o'clock. A special admonition was
given from the Bench against the publication of any
part of the evidence till the whole was completed.
This trial excites the greatest possible interest. The
Court-room was crowded to excess, and every avenue
leading to it.—Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle, Feb. 7.
