Here the speaker read from the statute case
analogous to the case In point We live in a
community where virtue is not unknown. and
where guarantees are not usually exacted before
persons are admitted into the mansions of their
friends, that they will not polnte their wives
and daughters In offering the letters the defence
stated that they were no evidence of the facts
which they were supposed to narrate.
The speaker submitted that upon no ground was
the proposed evidence admissible in the present
issue.
Mr.. Phillips replied stating that the relation the
parties bore to each other pertinent to the issue
The presumption arising out of the killing was
one to be contradicted and that contradiction was
the killing
The effect which evidence was to produce was
not ior the counsel, nor for the court but for the
Jury This fact Of friendship might be traced, be-
ginning at the killing and running back to the
days OF their boyhOod and the length of time was
an argument to show that the killing was not done
by malice. This was but one link in the chain by
which the defence prepared to show that this
friendship existed long before the killing
The Court decided that the letters had no bear
ing on the issue at hand, at all, and taken alto
gether Were not evidence
Mr.. Brady asked the Court to confine his de-
cision to the one letter of Mr.. hey, which the
Court assented to.
Mr.. Brady then noted an exception to the de-
cision.

class. The lecture was a continuation of that
upon 4th Genesis.
