Of public occurrences, from one to

voice, by which news was transported
from one extremity or the kingdom
to another, with considerable expedi-

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jury's Verdict Had Nothing to Do
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

A'barrister with a long experience
Of queer juries in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &C.
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
a murderous assault upon another as
a result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
at night, there appeared to be some
difficulty in identifying the assailant,
and, as matter Of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner, calling witnesses
to testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in a verdict
of acquittal, yet, to the general aston
ishment, the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
"But," he added, observing the gen.
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment, mot guilty Of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we
found him guilty Of that!"
