A Special Court of General Gaol Delivery was holden
in the Castle Rirehen, the22d of August,lB27 ; preeent,,

TIAN, Deemster HtTIVOOD..-.JANZI CLARtr, Esq. the
Attorney General, conducted the prosecution, Messrs.
RoPall and Btorre, for the defence.
This Court was convened for the trial of Robert
Morrison, of Douglas, who stood indicted for the wilful
murder of Daniel Guiggin, of the said town, on the
morning of the 14th oh. The indictment was read by
Deemtter Cesare-tie sr,sealling upon the prisoner to plead,
who replied, do Nose Guilty." The Jury were thetas earn.
The Avroanze Genenat addressed the Court, and
observed, that the crime for which the prisoner at the
bar stood indicted, was one of so singular and atrocious
a nature as seldom occurred, patticulatly in this coun-
'my; and though it was a crime of great enormity, he
should say nothing to influence their feelings in pie-
indice to the prisoner; but, as servant to the Crown,
would endeavour to lay the case before them in as clear
ati in as possible. They would do well to dismiss from
r minds all reports, end whatever they might have
rd oat of Court, weighing the merits of the case,
and deciding from the facts only, which he should now
lay before them, and which they would findfully esta-
blished by theevidence. He then reverted to the Anni-
versary Dinner of the Club of Mechanics and Arrizans,
It held in Douglas; and, whether the prisoner %ere
limber of that Club he should not pause to inquite ;
tat, it would appear, he had been in their compare
during the afternoon. At about ten that evening the
prisornr went home, where his wife, observing that he
was intoxicated, endeavoured to prevail upon him to
remain, and to accomplish her wish locked the door.
He would not, howevrr, be confined, but succeeded in
making his escape, by scaling the waH of the yard;
in consequence of which his wife went out to dis-
cover where he had gone, and having met the de-
l:mod in ring-street, entreated him to proceed with
her to search for her husband, and to bring him,
home. The deceased complied with her request, and,
ring along with her, found the prisoner in the markt-t
place, where he endeavoured to prevail upon him to
return with his wife. A conversation ensued, in which
the deceased again begged of the prisoner to go home,
but without effect. They became irritated ; harsh ex-
pressions followed, which ended in the prisoner's thrust- MARLBOROUGH-STRERT.
