on ths side by Lucy, and wheedled on the other
by Polly. We may say like him, '.Ilow happy could

pears that it had been seen there on the preceding
day, (Friday) and access to it was permitted to the
defendants counsel, who, is customary, made use
OF As well as the prosecutor. On Saturday il was
found necessary in the course of the trial. to refer to
this document, but on enquiry it was norhere, and
has remained in the same spot which is as difficult TO
point out as the mines in question ever were. Mr..
Key, the District Attorney, was absent during
Saturday, and on enquiry of him this morning re.
specting the recovery, he said that il had not yet
been found the last time that he had the paper it was

expected TO be present. This request was granted
but, apparently, very unwillingy by the Judge, who
observed that this the fifth week of the case and
they were only on the threshold.

pended upon, will, perhaps, throw some light upon
the subject: In his affidavit, Mr. Wright, the jaor,
states that when he called MIR. Bradley back, to
make enquiries concerning the missing papers, DIR.
Gardiner was ahead ofhim, with bundle of papers
in the case under his arm, purpoiting TO be those of

Inquest On Saturday last, Coroner Woodward
summoned jury, 10 inquire into the cause OF the
death of Mrs. Emmeline Lackey. After examining
all the witnesses that could be obtained, the jury re-
turned tue following as their verdict.
''That the deceased had been, for several months
past, woman OF very dispated habits that she lived
with Mena uttermuhle, and that said Uttermuhle
had been in the habit of i'll treating her; that about
two months since, he cut her head with an axe, and
subsequently struck her over the head with pair OF
tOngs that The deceased and said Uttermule had
been in the habit of fighting, and that the neighbOrs
had often heard blows and the cry OF murder in the
house occupied by them and, in the absence Of a
physician to- max" post mOrtem examination, mot
w,ihstanding every effort was made by the Coroner
To obtain one,) the jury believe from the evidence
that the deceased came to her death from intemper
ance, ill treatment and cruelty at the hands of said
GtteImuhle."
The evidence before Justice Smith, at the exam
na,icn of Mena Usarmuhle, who suspected of
being connected with the murder of this woman,
riiccd nothing very positive concerning the case.
rhe Justice, however, did not feel at liberty to
lease the prisoner upon such evidence, and com
United him to jail, to await the action of the grand
Jury.

jury, that physician could not be obtained to make
post mortem examination. No one need wonder
at ilis, is unpleasant job for which the sur
seon receives 10 pay.
