prevent the Court sitting at en earlier-hour titan ten'
o'clock on Monday morning, -at which hour the at-
tendance of the Jury would be again required.

Lord ELLEN3oRoutm..—Gentlerner, them is evert
wish on the par.. of the Court do accommodate•itsell

me to read the evidence through to-right; even with

you would afterwards irobably require considerabl@
time for deliberation.

.11:111.NIAN.-My Lord, it is only six o'clock: I

some consideration for ttim also. •
Mr. Justice BATI.RV.-Irfill will recollect, Gentle.
men, there is the evidences, six days to go through ;
his Lordship could not sustain the fatigue of reading

SEVENTH D.titNIONDAY, JUNE 16.

Yesterday, being it vacant day, the Gentlemen of
the Jary were permitted to take so excursion in four
coaches, attended by a Sheriff's Officer in each.—
They set out as early as ten o'clock, and did not re-
turn till late in the evening.
The body of Life Guirds appointed to escort the
Prisoners, which for several:mornings past has been
doubled, did not arrive it the Hall this morning un-
til nearly ten o'clock, and Watson was the only Pri-
soner in their charge.—The fineness of the morning
appeared to have drawn a greater number of people
of genteel appearance, than on any of the former
days, to siritness the procession ; but as anxiety
for the fate of the prisoner, now so near its crisis,
had evidently, the effect of restraining a great pro-
portion of the crowd from giving vent to those ebul.
litions of applause so universally testified daring the
last week on the arrival of the prisoners.

On descending from the carriage, Dr. WArsott
appeared paler than usual, and a deep anxiety was
perceptible on his features. But nn walking through
the Hall, he recognised. some friends or acquaint-
ances, and bowed and smiled colliers. with great com.
placency.
The Conrt did not proceed with the business of the
trial until half-past ten, when Lord ELLEtmoaovon
commenced his charge to Ole Jury.

The same persons of distinction as have been at-,
tending the trial since its commencement, and whose
names are already before our Readers, were in Court
at an early hour.
The Court is immensely crowded in every part.
At one o'clock we left Lord Ettrwaoant,ort still
speaking, and i: is not expects., lie will finish until a
late hour in the afternoon. It is not doubted, how-
ever, that the Jury will be able. to return their Verdict
before the adjournment of the Court.
