CRIMINAL COURT p Jsdgs Fisher This
court was occupied as follows yesterday:
The case of Michael Nash, charged with
the murder of VIM. Shaunessy, occupied the
whole time OF the court yesterday.
The defence opened the case, contending
that the wound inflicted did not In fact
cause the death OF the deceased, but that in
fact the deceased died from other causes
than the blow Of the brick, which, 1t is al.
legged, was thrown by Nash, or from causes
which arose subsequent to the inHlction Of
the injury; and that had no other cause OF
| death supervcned, the wound of Shaunessy
would not have proved mortal, and several
physicians were examined to sustain this
view of the case.
They also contend that the wound was in
| flcted In self-dcfcncc, and testimony was
presented to sustain this theory.
The case was not concluded when the
court adjourned.
