(See acts of General Assembly for 1870. chapter
q, page 59) The act directing the causes to be
heard by the court by counties will be found in
the acts of 1863, chapter %, page 81.
AS the causes on the docket of the fourth cir
cult are about twice the number of those in the
second circuit, the first section, on completing

! The Chief Justice said that as the Court had
! come here with the expectation of clearing the
docket of all business, all the cases in each

be disposed of as the counties were first called
| For the information of the Bar and ltigants
we give the counties of the several circuits in

THE "PET" HALSTEAD MURDER TRIAL.
CONCLUSION OF THE TESTIMONY - ARGUMENT
FOR THE DEFENSE.

CONCLUSION OF THE TESTIMONY - ARGUMENT
FOR THE DEFENSE.
The defense in the Halstead trial. in Newark,
n j. occupied the forenoon yesterday in adducing from
number Of bartenders small tradesmen, and laborers,
evidence relative to the reputation Of the prisoner and
his unusual conduct several days before the murder
After the midday recess the counsel for the defense
presented his argument, which occupied an hour and
half n delivery, and was heard by large audience.
The counsel held that the who premeditated muir
der for minute fully guilty as he who premedi-
taed murder for year. but that the jury would have to
be satisfied two points that the defendant fred the
shot, and that the shooting was wifu premedtated
act He alluded to the repeated threats OF Bolts, as
having had their weight and validity sacrificed by their
frequency and stupid candor. Nothing potent
IN causing insanity than Jealousy, with the finest
and strongest minds, and when the mind naturally
weak, and allied to muscular, powerful body,
IL could be disturbed much more readily.
Jealousy ruined the mind of George Botts who al
ready on the verge Of HGniG potH He was In frenzed
and therefore, irresponsible state OF mind The counsel
detailed his theory Of the accidental shot caused by the
sudden rebound and jerk resulting from the release Of
Bots's from Halsteads embrace This strength
ened by the fact that Bott In the struggle did not
know whether the ball had pierced his opponent not
berately shot Halstead in vital part: that he
quietly walked away, and crazed that, when
rested he unable tn realize what had happened.
Prosecutor Ttsworth's argument will be submitted
this morning, and Judge Depue will probably change the
fury before adjournment at noon
