Mr. James replied that he did. There was the evidence of 70 witnesses, and it was now very late.will go en thenin the morning The Lord Chief Justice—lt I? equires no apology. You Mr. James--Yes. Would your lordship wish us to state the points which we shall bring before the judges? The Lord Chief Justice—That would be convenient. Mr. James-- I have prepared them on paper, and I will state them shortly, and hand your lordship the paper. There are nine points. Of course the questions to some extent are doubly stated. I do not propose to address any argument to your lordship now, but will simply state the points. The first question which we propose should be reserved for the consideratien of the fifteen judges is, that the prisoner is not one of her Majesty's subjects, within the moaning of the Otis Geo. IY., chap. 31, sec. which is the act under which your lordships have jurisdiction to hold this special commission. The second point is, that the prisoner was not an accesthe aforesaid statute. gory before the fact to any murder within the meaning of  The third is, that there is ne proof of any murder having been committed within the meaning of that statute. The fourth is, that the murder for which the prisoner is charged by the indictment to have been accessory before the fact, is proved to have been committed by an alien upon an alien within the kingdom of France, and not by any of her Majesty's subj subjects. The fifth is, that n, evidence of any acts done by the pri eck nor upon any of her Majesty's sonsr on land out of the United Kingdom, and without the Queen's dominions, nor of an acts done by any person in pursuance of any authority from him on land out of the Unikd Kingdom and without the Queen's dominions is properly receivable iu evidence in this trial. y The sixth point is the principal offence of murder charged in the first three counts of the indictment was not alleged s to hive been committed by any of her Majesty's subjects. Then .. propose to ask your lordship to reserve the question about the letter, which will be the seventh point, that the letter of the let January, lt 57, signed T. Allsop, was not properly received in evidence against the prisoner. Tae eighth point is, that by the terms of the special I commission the court is only authorised to inquire and try the prisoner on the charge cf being accessory before the fact of the murder by Orsini and others of persons whose names aro not known, and they have no jurisdiction to try the prisoner ou a charge of wilful murder as principal. The ninth point is that the fourth and fifth counts, whici charge the prisoner as principal, alley.° that the alleged murder was committed in Paris, outof the Queen's dominions, and the prisoner being an alien, cannot be tried as a erincipal on such a charge. The Lord Chief Justice—There can be no objection to the racept ion of any of these points, but that is one which has aready been argued and determined, and an unanimous opinim given upon it ! MI. James—lf your lordship says it is not right to reserve that point, of course we are in your hands. Tie Lord Chief Justice—You have varied the mode of raisiig the different points, but they aro in substance the samt, and as they aro points of novelty, and also of impen-twee, the court will adopt the course open to it, viz., we vill take the opinion of the fifteen judges before pronourcing sentence, should there be a Yordiet upon the fact unfavourable to the prisoner. Tie court then adjourned until this morning.  K aelogLaTosof,e Nf r e TwII,Ev, York, nwshEiYi e.
