UepisIatfye Notes.

A bill for q public act introduced in the
House by Mr.. Troup yesterday provides that,
con a trial to the jury of any criminal prose
cution for murder, assault with intent to
murder, or mayhem, the defendant may
state in writing any circumstances which
show that tb. act charged was committed I'M
der conditions such as ought to mitigate the
punishment, and move for leave to have the
same submitted to the jury for a finding in
the nature of special verdict to be append
ed to verdict of guilty in case of conviction.
The court may, at its discretion, grant or re-
fuse the motion, or may modify the state
ment of circumstances, and in no case shall
this exercise of discretion be a ground for
proceedings in error. The jury, if a verdict
of guilty is found, may append the special
verdict, whether the whole or any part of
the statement is true, but the unanimous
consent of the jury must be obtained. In
case of this additional finding the court is
authorized at its discretion, (but is not re-
uuired) to reduce the punishment to which
the defendant would otherwise be subject, to
the punishment provided for the crime of
manslaughter" 1t is understood that the
bill was drawn by Simeon E. Baldwin.
The legislative statistics prepared by
Palmer Bill, of Norwich, successor of the
late William Goodwin, contain the usual
amount of information regarding the age,
birthplace, occupation and residence of State
officers, Senate and House of Representa-
tives. The pamphlet is full and complete
and will be found useful for reference.
