make no change. It will be time enough then to
determine the course to be pursued. We should
regret separation of the jury now.
Mr.. HSSsHAw. Much more said to me by
the jury than need to be repeated here. They
desired me, however, to inform the court that
there has been change of opinion among them
since they first went into the jury room.
The CoUsT said: You can't change their judg
ments.
Mr.. BRADLEY believed this the first time he
had resisted the discharge of jury, but in
this be thought the jury ought to be detained
some days longer.
The CoURr suggested to the gentlemen that the
jury desired to be brought into court, and sup
posed the court bound to permit them to
come in.
Mr.. BRADLEY Yes, give them fresh air.
Mr.. HsNsHAw having returned from the jury
room, whittier he had been despatched, reported
''A portion of the jury want instructions, and the
other portion say then won't come in for any such
purpose"
The Guar. They must come with their own
will.
Mr.. Robinson then directed to adjourn th g
court until this morning, at eleven o'clock, and
he did 30 accordingly.
