Peter BOUCHER. the mailer, CHARGED, on atii-
davit Of Mrs. Avery Fisher, with kllllcg
her child, said it was an old English rule
that 10 indictment for murder should be
found unless the body had been seen after
death by a reputable person, ard Informed
the Jury that il was MS desire that no III
dictment be found il any case CT this ma
ture. As the Boagber case is the only one
10 which this rule applies it ia well under
stood that the Judge had reference to II,
as a search for the body Of the child has
proven fruitless and there is no testimony
except that of Mrs. Fisher, the
mother, that a murder was actual
" committed. Ore Of the n an
things that has cAUsad Judge Haa &c
to discredit her ties inOny 10 tie fact that
some time since, in an application for
divorce from her husband, MrS. Fisher
swoIe that this child was living, ana IN
granting the divorce Judge Hance award
ed toe custody of it. The child, however,
has disappeared, aud neither BOUCHER nor
it9 mother can acco1nt for its Whereabouts,
and sill the stories told by BOUCHER IN re-
gard to tie disposition OF it nave bsen
shown to be false. Under this charge
there il no doubt hut that the grand jury
viii fail 70 indjct Bough5r, end that he
will be discharged from custody. Tnls
will leave thea murder cases 20 be tried
at the present term of Court, namely: The
Italian, who mur6e ed fellow workman
