GUILTY.  The Lord Chief Baron then put on the black cap and The Clerk of the Arraigns, in the usual form, asked the prisoner if he had anything id Bay why judgment should not be passed Upon him ? The PAsond gad he had, and he then corm elacteed addressing the judge and the jury. He said Whole of the witnesses had distorted the true facts at the Me in §iiet a insrdtet that his life had been Saorificed. Dr. lulitts he espeeially condemned, add the alisbitiaii sister of the deceased, that she Was never able to flee ter sister iSitiella alone, except for two or three minutes at a time Weil iota* and entirely false. She knew, he said, that she had every opporitinitt of being with her sister as often and as along as she pleased, and had the witnesses spoke truth such would have appeared in the evidence. With respect to the non-engagement of a nurse, it had been put as if he objected to such a proceeding, but nothing could be so far from the truth. Ho had been taken into misted'', and placed before a magistrate, charged with poiselling his wife, but notwithstanding all that was said against him, he was admitted to bail on the first occasion. In not ' taking steps to procure a nurse he was only acting according to the direction of the magistrates as they prohibited him in any manner interfering with the deceased on his return to his home, and it was certainly true that he had said that those persons who choose to engage the nurse must bear the expense. With respect to the motive for the crime attributed to him—namely, wishing to obtain possession of the money belonging to the deceased, such was false and untrue, as he had no occasion to seek the death of the lady, as he could have obtained her money, if such had been his object, without committing murder. Great stress, he said, had been laid as to his marriage with Miss Bankes, and throughout the trial it had been said that it was not his intention to remain with Miss Bankes after he had obtained all she was possessed of. Now, the yuth was that his attachment to  her was strong, and his connection with her he ' hoped would have been lasting ; and the marriage at Kennington Church was as much the act of the deceased as his, and it, was only done in order that she might appear to her Mends as a married woman, and the remark " that it would be all right soon," alluded to the death of his first wife, who was upwards of 70 years of age. The prisoner then went on in a rambling strain, condemning everybody who had given evidence against him. . . _  The Lord Chief Baron, after repeated interruptions from the prisoner, proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner. In doing so his lordship said it was one of the most horrible cases of murder ever heard of. The prisoner's assertions with respect to the witnesses was as false as many other statements of his, ' and they had been proved to be so by his own letters. He had no doubt that the jury had come to a right conclusion, and the sentence of the Court is, that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck till you be dead, and may the Lord God Almighty have mercy on your soul. liThe prisoner maintained his coolness through the whole time the Judge was delivering the sentence, and left the dock exclaiming that Dr. Julius was his murderer, and calling the Almighty to witness that he was innocent of the crime of which he had been found guilty.  To the Sheriff of Surrey was confided the duty of carrying out the sentence.
