TIE CASE OF MARY HARRIs.-Our attention
has been called to two articles in our paper,
lately, referring to the case OF Miss Mary Harris,
who was indicted, tried, and acquitted of the
killing of Mr.. Burroughs, some years ago, in
this city. In the first Il was casually remarked
in substance. that he was her seducer and in
the second that she shot him in revenge Of his
breach OF promise OF marriage. The latter
might well embrace the former charge 1t
seems that these articles have been brought
TO her notice, and have produced an unhappy
effect on her; and this has led her friends TO
exhibit to US quite satisfactory evidence that
both OF these statements were erroneous. The
case occurred number of years ago. and
the particulars had escaped our memory.
A very accurate StenOgraphic report of
the evidence and OF all the proceedings in the
cause was made at the time, and was pub
llShed in pamphlet fOlm. peruSal OF it-wfl
satisfy any one that no such defenceS were set
up, and no evidence given to raise doubt as to
the purity OF her life and her freedom from
blame, except as TO the matter for which she
was indicted The defence was an Irresistible
impulse, arising from sudden and unexpected
incident which came TO her knowledge while
she was suffering under a fearful nervous ex-
ctement, which destroyed her self-control at
the time, and which recurred with still greater
force, under like nervous excitement, at the
time OF the homicide, so that she was neither
morally nor legally responsible for the act.
The testimony OF experts on the trial seem fully
TO have sustained the defences.
