CHAPTER discontinued.

The evidence being all In, n the
arguments made, a recess was taken.
We were not the only Ones who paid
our respects Immediately to Giles
Vernon. Many persons vent forward
and shook his hand, while ! think Sir
Thomas did not receive a cordial greet
ing from a single mar or woman in the
hall, although he was known to every
n present.
We got a hurried dinner at the tav-
ern, and returned at once to the hall.
1t was about half-past four in the win
ter afternoon, and the day being dark
and lowering, candles were required.
The lord Justices instructions to the
jury were then read, and my heart
sank, as in a dreadful monotone, he
eXpounded the law to them. Alas! As
long as the statute against the abduc-
ton of an hclress remained, Giles Yer.
non was guilty of a capital crime; and
not one word uttered by any 0ne OF us
who testified in his bel If did aught
but prove the more strongly that he
had carried Lady Arabella off against
her will.
The jury retired, and, the day having
been %fatiguing, the lords justices de-
termined to wait in their retiring room
for an hour, where they could be
called, II the jury promptly reached a
verdict. This troubled me-this ex-
pectation Of a quick decision.
The judges having retired and gus.
pended the sitting of the court, we at
once went over and sat with Giles,
who maintained perfectly his manly
composure. He laughed with Sir Peter
over some OF the events Of the fight
between the Ajax and her two enc
mics, complimented Lady Hawkshaw
upon her triumph over the lava OF the
land relating to evidence. and said
many kind things to Daphne.
While we were in the midst O! {
cheerful conversation. and not observ
ant of what was going On in the othel
part of the hall, we suddenly heart
the crier prOclaiming the entrance o
their lordships. and at the same mt
ment Sir Thomas Vernon entered b.
another door. Hanging on his arm
was Lady Arabella Stormont. An,
then the jury filed in with solemn
faces. and what followed all seeme
to me like some horrid dream.
Although several persons wer
moving about. there seemed to me
dreadful silence; and although tn
candles burned, and n great hobgobli
OF a moon peered in at the window.
thpre seemed an aWful darkness. An
