Livingston County New-York, on a charge Of poison

where all the parties then resided. The opJect OF
Wood in poisoning his brothers family Was TO get their
property which amounted to $40 wv. Ihe chhufeu

Wood was not suspected Of this shocking crime
until four months ago, and he had been residing until
recently near Danvile. lie has since married again.
and Sheriff Brewer found him coming out OF
house on the prairie after his breakfast He did nos
know the officer until the late gave his name, when
he Iecolected him. Before the officer said anything
TO Wood he put the handouts on him. Wood -aeu
asked him what that meant, when Sheriff Brewer
said 10 him: You know there has been considerable
difficulty between you and your brothers family, IN
regard TO settling the estate and II Is thought tnat you
have forged of the papers" Wood said In return
that he was innocent Of the charge but was perfectly
willing TO so back to satisfy his friends ana relatives
that the charges were false.
Wood is now entirely ignorant Of the charge against
him, and will probably remain until he IS taken TO

on Tlusdsy night, and placed in charge OF captain
Yates, who placed hin in the lookup. lie remained
there while The Shevf hunting up a witness.

The MASSACHUSETTS jury LAW OF 1855 DE-
oLARED lSorERArwE-We learn that at IN sd-
ourned all the Justices OF the Sapreme Ja-
dcia Court held in this city on the 9Th Of August,
the Court came to final decision upon the Gases
pending before them, involving the question Of the Of
feet Of the Statute Of 1855, chapter 49, entitled IAN
act concerning the rights and duties Of Jurors The
following is a copy Of the Statute;
n ali trials for criminal oaenses shall be the duty Of the

and upon collateral and indebts proceedins and ao 10
Ss sns Joy ns~ .na iVs Of
the Governor APih 10 1901
Two questions W. re considered aud passed upon by
the Cont. The tint was. whether that statute IN its
terms and provisions purI os TO change the rule Of
law as laid down in the case OF COMMONWEALTH VS.
Porter 40 Metesrs Reports, 1853, In which inc SD
peme Court held that the jury weie bound by the in
stucticns of the court in criminal trials. On TINS
question the Judges equally divided in opinion.
Chief Justice Shaw and Ju tees Metca aud NJ ,rrick
holding that 10 change was declared by the statue;
and Judges Dewey, Bigelow aud Thomas being OF the
opposite opitio -
The second question was whether the,statute. II Il
purported 10 change the law, was constitutional Ana
majority Of the Court, consisting OF the Chiet Justice
AID Judges Metcaf Bigeiow aud Merrick held that X
Il statute did purport TO change the law, IL was un-
col stitulion&Judges Dewey and Thomas dissenting.
The result is Therefore that majority Of the Court
are Of opinion that the jury have no greater rights IN
der the existing laws than they had before the statute
Of 1855 wss passed.
We announce the facts above stated upon informa.
ton Of uI authenticity. Our readers wuI
not fail IL observe their Significance Ths question OK
the constituiopalty of the statute OF 1853 has been
freely discussed and cannot for moment be doubted
that The ends of justice will be subserved by decs-
ion which Gets the discussion at rest. The decision
will of course be everywhere acquiesced 10, aud We
believe moreover, that il will prove generally salts
factory to the people. 1t never pretended that
any abuse led to the enactment Of the statute
of 1855. Ii gratuitous and unnecessary piece Oh
legislation the only effect of which was to intro luce
coubt and tanty into the administration OF the
law These doubts and unce Antics no1 removed
