A Revival Of the Poiso ming Story.


A st. johns, Newfoundland letter to the Her
aid, states that a gentleman who had long
conversation with Esquimaux Joe, before be
left for Washington, on the Frolic, says that
Joe informed him that Capt Hall was given a
cup of coffee after returning on board the T o.
laris from an expedition, and that after drn X
ing it he was seized with aviole Mt Illness: that
Capt Hall called Joe to him and told him he
was suffering from poison, aud charged him to
tell the President of the United States that he
(Hall believed himself poisoned.
The evidence had therefore not tendency to
show motive of the prisoner for the killing of
deceased The prisoner bad testified that he
tFisk) had been trying to get him indicted for,
as he understood, conspiracy with another to
blackmai him, but that as he understood he
had falle'l 10 procure one. The prosecution
could not give evidence tending to show that
the prisoner had been guilty of any other crime
than the one for which he was on trial.
Near the conclusion the Judge charged the
jury as follows:
'rhe fact Of the killing in this case being
substantially conceded, it becomes the duty of
the prisoner here to satisfy you that 1t was not
murder " hich the law would imply from the
fact OF killing under the circumstances, IN Ine
absense of explanation, that IT was uan-
slaughter in the third degree or JustlhaDie NOM
icide' because. as have said, the fact OF kill
inc beino couceded the law implying motive
from the circumstance OF the case tine prose-
cutor,s case is fully and entirely made out, and
70 that. unless the prisoner shall give evidence
sufficient to satisfy you that it was justfi able
under the circumstances of the case.
Juhge Growers ODiaion in the Stokes
Case. !,
The opinion of Judge Grover in the Stokes
case, discusses at some length the jury law,
under the Nperation of which the trial was held
and under which the previous formation or ex-
presssOn OF an opinion, is not to operate as SUIT
ticient ground of challenge for the principal
cause, provided the persoc proposed shall de-
clare on oath that he believes he can render an
impartial verdict according to the evidence.
This act is held to be constitutional. The
opinion then goes GU to say that during the tri-
al, the counsel for the accused offered to prove
that the deceased, short time b@fOre the &C.
currrnce, had made violent threats against him;
such as that he would 'beggar him first, and
then kill him,"-'I go prepared for him all the
time, $50 sure as my name is Jim Fisk, I
will kill him, ~ would kill him as soon as I

VERSAILLES, June 10.-In the Assembly this
afternoon the left submitted an Interpolation
in regard to the suppression of the LIE Cosaire
(newsoaper) by the orders Of the military Gov
ernor of Paris. tst u
M. Gambetta caused tremendous sensation
by reading ministerial circular, dated the 4th
inst, and dated the projects of the depart
ments. The documents inquiries minu ely into
the position of toe provincial press and sug-
gests confidentially that the employment of
subsidies and otter means can be secretly
brought to bear for its control.
MIR. Beulc, Munster of the Interior, admitted
the authenticity of the circular and accepted
the responsibility for issuing the same.
After protracted scene of confusion and ex-
element, motion supporting the government ut
was carried by vote of $50 yeas against 81.
nays The result shows that the coalition OF
the conservatives is still unbroken.

OLD BLooD.-Quite an exciting occurrence
took place at the Superior Court yesterday.
John Rand, ESQ.,, who has but lately recovered
from severe Illness, was sitting at table
writing, when John Neal, esq, approached him
with the view of congratuating him upon his
recovery. Mr.. Rand turned from the proffered
hand, aud Mr.. Neal, presumably thinking him
occupied, Withdrew; presently, seeing Mr.. Rand
at leisure, be approached him once more. Nj.
Rand turned sharply upon him, saying that he
desired no congratulations from him, and moth
ing to do with him. Thereupon Mr.. Neal drew
himself up to his full height, and with flashing
eyes began to call Mr.. Rand naughty names.
Both lawyers threw themselves into fighting
attitudes, when the Sheriff rushed between
and separated them. Fears were entertained
at one time that the famous ''shingle' would
come into play, for Mr.. Neal was awful mad.
