A HORRID CASE.

On the 3D. instant, james Goodwin, a resi-
dent on the Ottawa river, near Montreal, was
tried in that city for the murder of his wife, 30
whom I've had been twenty years married was
the mother of seven children, and against
whose conduct or character nothing appeared
except that her brutal partner had beaten
and ill-treated her until she is supposed 20
have become partially insane. She was then
driven into u pig pen, where she lived through
IA Canadian winter, from the first of Novem-
Der to the first of February, and then found
frozen to death. Her only covering was
an old blanket.
"Mr Bagley, attorney general, conducted
the investigation. Rev. +. :. lIeve, as up-
pears by his testimony on the trial, rcmou-
strated with the husband; but why did he
not complain to a magistrate Mary, the
sister ofGodwin, stated that the poor wifi,
came twice to her husbands door, and got 4
drinl-tried to get into her house-hut he
ordered her off! Inside the pen il was gcuug
'suffocation,' but no one cleaned IT, When
the children went ont aftera cold Canadian
night, they said she would not speak. Her
husband said 'She is playing some of her Did
tricks She was dead and frozen hard, and
clutched tin in her stiff hands She, mad
wished to be permitted to live ia her 'hIIs-
bands barn Elizabeth. one of the daughters,
testified that when her mother tried TO come
into her house TO be warmed, the father beat
her with cord-she had 10 creep back inijs
the pen DIR. Sturgeon swore that he found
the body i'll the pen, mass of ice it was
put on door for the purpose of being remov-
ed to the house, but Goodwin objected, having
resolved never 10 let her enter, dead or alive |!
The night when she was said TO have died
was fenrfully cold-the only way in which he
could account for her living so long in such
weather was that she was insane. Insane
people are less sensible to cold than others.
He thought that in the state in which she
must haye been in before death-frozen stiff
up to the middle-it would have been i'm
possible for her to get out of the pig pen.-
One foot was gone altogether, aud halfofthe
other was off. The stomach was empty and
drawn up towards the backbone.
Goodwin was found guilty of lnanslaugh-
ter,
