The prisoner had effected an insurance for £lOO on the life of the deceased Mary Wells Streeter, and in order to obtain that money at her death, it was incumbent on him to show that she had not taken her own life, and that she had not suffered violence from his hands. Having arranged his plans he next destroyed his mother in order that he might represent that she had murdered Miss Streeter, and to save himself from the consequences of such an act he artfully declared he had done so in self-defence. As a reason for the killing his brothers it was suggestive of one of two things—either they had witnessed his acts, and it was absolutely necessary they should be got rid of to enable him to get the insurance money, or that they were disposed of to convey a false impression of the ferocity of his mother, and to show that he might have shared a similar fate had he not used the violence he did in resisting her attack, which terminated in her death. He did not know the grounds of the defence, but if it was intended to persist that the mother was murdered in self-defence, then the whole facts of the case were opposed to such an assertion; while if, on the other hand, it was contended the murders were committed while the prisoner was in a state of insanity, the letters written by him, and his whole conduct, completely disproved any unsoundness of mind on his part. Mr. Clark occupied one hour and a quarter in the delivery of his address, and during the whole of the time the prisoner never for a moment removed his eyes from off the learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech the prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in-the coolest manner imaginable, and continued so occupied during the progress of the trial. The only additional feature in the ease was that elicited from his father, who stated that his wife's mother had died a lunatic, and that his brother had also been confined in a lunatic asylum for a long time.  The case for the prosecution having closed, and Mr. Best having made an ingenious speech for the defence, and The learned judge having summed up the evidence, The jury at 10 minutes past six retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of five minutes returned into court with a verdict of guilty.  The prisoner was then asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, when he replied in a firm voice--,‘ I am not guilty." The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the usual manner, and ordered the prisoner to In handed over to the custody of the Sheriff of Surrey. The execution will take place at Horsemonger-lane Gaol.  The prisoner appeared to be the rOost unconcerned in the whole court, and walked from the dock with the most stolid indifference.
