Counsel on both sides were in attendance, but Mr..
Stuyyesant did make his appearance. Sub>e-
duently IL message arrived stating that Mr.. Stuy-
yeoant was dead that he expired that morning at
six o'clock Of Asiatic cholera At first TIC counsel
could not believe the story, and thought it a joke,
until informed of its truth by relative of the de-

death Of Mr.. 5. was the result OF suicide and the
coroner forthwith prohibited the buria until an in
Yestigation could be made.
The counsel for the prisoner of course moved q
discharge, when the judge, being satisfied of the
death Of the complainant, and there being other
witness ordered Seymour to be ret liberty. 1t is
