LCNENBURG COURTHOUSE. Va, August
lJ.-Counscl came into court this morning
prepared TO submit TO Judge Perry such
instructions as they thought should be
gwen TO the Jury a. to the points OF law,
and the question then arose. Shall the Jury
be allowed to remain in court and hear
argument on the instructions? 1t was
agreed that the jury should decide for
themselves. Thereupon the jury took a
vote, and by g to expressed their pre-
ference for retirement, and they were then
sent from the room, and the spectators
rushed forward and occupied their vacated
seats
QUEER STATEMENT FROM 4 WITNESS.
Mr.. Finch, Of counsel for the defence,
asked that +. :. Jones be called. lie was
called, but answered not. Mr.. Finch then
said that he took occasion while the Jury
were out 10 state that "On Thursday, du-
ring the intermission for dinner, Mr.. T..
{. Jones, witness. who had been pre-
yiously introduced and examined ~ the
prosecution, came to me voluntarily and
said, in the presence Of Mr.. John l.. Hen
drick, that he WAS afraid that his position
was misunderstood in the Garland case !;
that he was acting in the capacity Of
agent for Mr.. Wedderburn in employ
ing counsel for the Prosecution, and
that he simply did what he was ordered
to do by Nj. Weddcrburm: that his feel
ings were at first with Addison and against
Garland. but after hi, excitement was over
he remarked that 1T was a fair fight and
that hc thought Garland ought not to be
tried; and in reply TO a question from my
self ne said, furthermore, that in the event
OF Garland being hung for murder he
thought that his (Jone>'>) skirt, would be
stained with Gariand's blood. But his
connection with the Addison family would
not permit Of his putting himself right be-
fore the court"

ton they made. He desired that they
should speak now or forever hereafter hold
their peace. Would they move 10 draw Il

the case upon the testimony q Boswell
and EancS and the testimony Of whoever
said that Addison and MIS- IIatchctt were
engaged and the engagement Hast winter
was broken in consequence OF remarks
made ly Garland. one OF the counsel for

moay in this case. Mr.. Taylor .oi counsel
for Commonwealth said that in view OF
the statement made by Finch. which he
and Judge Hinton had only casually heard
OF prcyiou, to to-day, hc hoped the court
would send for Mr.. Jones and make him
state wherein hi, testimony was inaccurate
and what va, hi, animu~ in siyine it.
