petroleum v. NasbY) denounced Irish
landlordism as the worst slavery that any
people had ever been forced to endure. 10
his eyes it was so outrageous that 1t was not
the shooting of a landlord, but the missing

or idiotic, and that his own eccentricities
were marked. On the other hand, It was
proved that he was drunk when he slew his
wife, and the prosecution held that II he

Judge told the Jurors that II Pease was so
insane from any other cause than rum as to
be unaware of right or wrong they ought
to acquit him; that If his craziness at the
time was simply melted by intoxication,
they might still excuse him; but If the deed
was due to rum alone, he was as sccounta-
BILE before the law as though perfectly sober.
A compromise verdict of murder in the
second degree was given,
