REMARKABLE TRIAL FOR MURDER.
The following singular case is at present the SUBJ
icct of dramatic representation at one Of our minor
theatres (the Coburg.) The narrative is extreme
ly interesting, exempifying, that circumsantial
evidence, even when apparently the most conclu
sive, is not always to be relied upon infable. 1t
happened in the year 1872 The reader will find
the account Of it in the Genteman's Magazine for
1862.
"In the reign Of the Queen Elizabeth. a person
was arragned before Sir James Dyer, Lord Chief
Justice of the Court OF Common Pleas, upon an in
dictmcnt for the murder OF man, who dwelt in the
same parish with the prisoner The first witness
against him deposed, that on a certain day mention
ed by the witness, in the morning, as he was going
through close. which he particularly described, at
some distance from the path, he saw person lying
io a condition that denoted him TO be either dead or
drunk that he wen, to the party, and found him
tuay dead, two wounds appearing in his breast, and
his shirt and clothes much stained with blood that
the wounds appeared to the witness to have been
given by the puncture OF fork some such in
strument, and looking about he discovered a fork
lying the corpse, which he took up, and observ
ed it to be marked with the initial letters of the pri.
soner's name the witness at the same time produ-
ced the fork in Court, which the prisoner owned TO
be his and waved asking the witness any questions.
