wildly round, gasping for br••ath. Some water having been
given to him, he resumed.) I was then some tint.. in that
manner, and could not get the boat to the aide of the water
to get out of it. When I got out of the haat, 1 ratne rap the
stairs as far as the end of the bridge. I saw a man, appa-
rently intoxicated, and a dirty-looking w..man or girl. I
looked at him, and seeing he appeared in lioptor, I did not
inform him what had happened, but weal straight away to
the house where Mrs. Bell lohged, and ran.r at her bell. I
seas some time waiting for her to answer the bell, during
width time a person, who lodged in the bottle, came with a
key and unlocked the done. I wa!ked in. The watch-
man caltlr from the other side of the street, anal the person
ho opened the door appeared not to know Isle. I looked
roitn.l, and tell them my it woe was Dyson. I then went
tip stalls, and met 'atra• IB►ll on the stairs, corning to en•
t wihr the door. I told her poor Eliza was no more, and beg-
.rd 11..1- to go to her too her. On second recollection I
tho tgl t she ronl,l•not get to her mother at that time of the
moaning. Later in the mottling she went to Eliza's mo-
ther, and I rema:m•d in the room till she can back. Some
little time after sloe came bank; it was time for the young
person who slept la ;tip Mrs. Bell to get np ; and I went out-
sde the 14 oin door for the young person to dress herself.
When I came in, Mrs. Bell requested me to take oil' my wet
clothes, and put on some airy. I naked her if she supposed
after what had happened, that dry clothes could be of any
comfort to me? Ily her still persuading me, I pulled off my
cwt cloths, and put on a etre shirt and got into bed. I
there remained some time in bed, during which Mrs. Bell
went rant. I then_got up and dressed myself, and weed to
Mr Williams's, where we had lodged, and then went hack,
pal ab nit nine o'clock the mother, nitio this gentleman
(•l'eale the officer), came and took me into custody. In
miiswer to a qnestion from a Juryman, whirl, he was ran-
thired not to answer unless lie chose, lie said that they had
both resolved to make away with themselves. " I wanted
to deter her from it, but nos determined to do it myself, as
I at•as out of employ, and had neither money nor means to
procure any to support us. I wrote on a piece of paper, to
put into my pocket, that I intended to drown toysrlf, and
lift it, by accident, on the table. She got it and read it;
and by that means she found I was determierd to make
away with myself, and site took the same resolution, and
would not he turned from it."

The room was then cleared, and after being' closeted for
al ont an boor and a half, the jnre reurnril a verdict of
" IPilfol Nlnrifer arainst William "triton Mica."
The verdict was instantly annonnerd to the prisoner, who
replied in a firmer tone than he had hitherto spoken in,
" Now I am quite content."
The l:otonet issued his warrant of commitment, and the
pr•sener was taken bark to Tothflldiebls prison, where he
trig remain for removal t o Neu gate to be tried. The pri-
son Pr has heen sunk in the lowest state of despondency the
whole time he Inas been in rustotly, and has been kept eon-
