oner that h, was committed for trial. AT the
assizes, aspiration was made TO The Judge
to postpone the case, on the ground that
public Indignation was so greatly excited
against The prisoner, that he could notsafe-
" 90 to trial, and an affidavit was put in,
that il time was granted, there was no
doubt that the niece would be procured in
court, and that the prisoner was entirely
innocent OF tie murder.
The application was successful, and in
the interim the most strenuous eXert0ns
were made on behalf OF the prisoner and
his friends 10 find the niece, but all TO no
pnrpo.e G, aud the search proved fruItless.
The period Of the assizes at length came
round, and being unable to procure tie
niece, the prisoner 10 save his nlc, resorted
to deception. the fatal step which pro-
cured his condemnation aud execution
within forty light hours after the trial -
\ young lady was produced in court OK
actiy resembling the supposed murdered
female; her height, age, complexion, hair,
and voice, wore Sd similar, that many per.
sons in court, who were acquainted with
the niece, were ati,iied she was the same
and some Witnesses actually swore to the
identity. An inlimation, however, was
given to the council for the prosecution,
that the female in court was not The niece
of the prisoner, but the resemblance was
perfect. By the most skil,ul cross.eXam-
nation by the council Of the prosecution,
the ariice was at length detected, and
the jury without hesitation pronounced
the fatal vcrdict Of guilty. His Lordship
in passing sentence Of death, said il was
impossible for the jury to come to any 9th
or conclusion, and sentenced tie unturu-
nate man to be executed on the following
Monday. On the scaGod with his last
breath, the unhappy convict declared his
innocence, but the clergyman rehukod him
for his harjihood, and the crowd Of spec
tators that had witnessed the execution
were satisfied he died guilty man,
Within two years after the execution the
niece actually made her appearance, and
crimed the property to which she was en-
titled 1t appeared that on the day after
the unfortunate quarrel, the niece clipped
from her uncle's house with stranger, to
whom she had recently become attached,
and had never been heard of until her SUD-
den and unexpected return, and that she
had only by accident heard of her uncle's
exccution.--The Detroit A2rertjSer.

The fan light is only "a inches in

mock, whe was engaged to defend prIs-
onor, (the evidence for the prosecution
resting entirely on circumstantial evidence
cited the following remarkable case.
On the Northern Circuit, few years
ago, a respectable farmer was indicted for
the wilul murder of his niece, to whom he
was executor and gardian. A serions
quarrel took place between the uncle and
his ward. and the former was heard 10 say
that his niece would never live 10 enjoy
her property, although she wanted but a
short period of becoming Of age. Short
lv after this declaration and quarrel, the
niece was suddenly missed, ana no one
knew what had become Of her. Rumors
were quickly spread to the disadvantage Of
the farmer, until ii was at length publicly
reported that he had murdered his niece
for the sake of possessing himself Of her
nrnpertv, and that he had concealed the
body. On his being apPrehended on a
charge ofmurder various spots of blood was
found on his clothes, those being the gar
ments he was in the habit of wearing. APP
