Judge Wyllo, for the court, aaidi eff tho

Barrett and Cooler, 10 the case Of Kolly, con-
yicted Of the murder OF Mardors, was con-
sldercd at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Tho petition was amended 80 as TO show
that neither tho defendant nor counsel knew
Of the allonage Of the juror, T. 8. Newman,
al the time Of the trial.
Tho condemned man, Kelly, was present
during the argument. He appeared pale and
much moro haggard aud careworn than on
his last appearance In court.
Mr.. Newman was examined, and testified
that he was born In London, Of English
parents, and came TO this country when he
was about eight or nine years old that his
father died about a year amer his (witness')
arrival In America, and that he (the juror
had never been natuTaliEed nor taken the
oath Of naturalization. He did not know
how long his father had resided in America,
but supposed Il might be four or i've years.
This examination was protraotod TO some
