The Crown Prosecutor: I ilon't say you did ; but i say that in my opinion he actcd'like an insane pemon, He has written letters to the journuls ho known nothing about tho case for the Crown or njrainst t. Mr Stnluh: Why not put him in the box, then? ' The Crovrn Prosecutor: Because I won't give you the opportunity you desire. You can call him if you iike. The Judi?!;: It is wninl, where a witness is examined before the Grand Jury, or his name is at the back, of the bill, at least to tender him lor examination. The Cro'vn I'nwccutor: Lumb was not examined before the Grand Juty, and his name is not «t the tack of the bill. TheJud t ;c: Then you are not bound to call him. Mr Smith : Then, are you sjoing to call Lumb ? The Crovrn Prosecutor: No, lam not. [Before lialf-pait ten o'clock. Sir Jrimet Smith r»*e to wMies* the jury for tbo pri-oner.

There i< no hhiitinp the matter ifar t atrocious and fearful fbJue.. are current with regard to tho }>ri«oncr.

It might fend you fo tho cornlusioo that if there is mt Fofficient rvidraca t'i ccnvict the prisoner for the murd«-r of bis irife, tti° • trwr nil tiC'B render it advisable for you to strik a sort of average, and fi. d him guilty, o savd tho ttoubks of a trial for them But I. meed M-arcely tell you, what yon h»w to do wiih is to inquire how Mra Jarrey came by htr t'eath. Mad tbe prisoner a guj.ty bund In it. If you have no reasonable 'onbt of 't, find h>m Kuiltj; hufc we hive i o'hing to do with hour the children eume by thur deathp. If, »»> I naniidi ntly expect, tue ro*nlt of tho trial is his aoqnitta', ahouid the pnliee uu-peet foui play loyr.rtis others, thuy may exbnme all their b«Ui's and pursue fuitber in»e«tig«tions, so that full justice may ba done. All I ntk of yon, i» to codQus jourse yes !o thin c&ie, snd this case alone. Tho accusid ia charged -nith the murder of hi« mU aioae, and wlh that a'o&a joa have to do. U Is of the utmost fmportancti that- prisoncis on their trial, should not bo condrawfri hn» on pvii'enco sa the law sianctSon, for otherwise trial by jury would heroine wi engine of opjircwion ; a Ifarful envina that might be used for t!ie destruction of lamina lifo. It micht occur under tho*c circumstanceH that I might have a jrrudjre agninst a man. Boppo<ti«ig a death took place in bin houw under curcmniitnnccs which the world called {fuspiciou:;— »tij>|M»in<i I call a person, who calls himself an analyst, iroin another country, and ask him what he has found in the stoniiich of the deceased, it may be tho prisoner's life would be in the tian<!» of a very ignorant num. From this it is evidently necessary you should go clean through the evidence wiith thi! utmost circumspection, and not 'let n poiit fia<ss without the utmost consideration. It i>i etihtomary in Eng'and for counsel to thnnk the (j(liL>.:w of the Crown for the manner in which a ruse ha* been coudtictcd ngniust a prwiner. Ajkl t at is not un idle ceremoay, for, for the last century, the trinls of prisoners' httve been crandiicttti with even handed justice, mid the canes have l>e«n conducted in »ucha way tin to (»nvitsc« everybody that the public; prowWtor wju« not acting tromi a vindictive epirit, bnt that ho was simply doing a dry and I may say an unpleasant ilLti.

The conreolnma of the newspaper report hiw been conflrtiifi.l by the teamed Judge, aud ou reference to it you will find that stated at the cone 'union of the Crown I'tomcu tor's address. Now 1 do .say that ii ono of tho vilest iUbricatio"3 ever maie by a Crown Prosecutor. It i< monitrouq. Cure should havo been taken by him not to oveutnte a single f»ct. Ho might have satisfied liimnelfon the'subject from t!w evidence of Doctor Alexander, nnd if" the ;irms hill been found in that position it would havo bttsu a most friKlitifui one.

Dr lliirdy's bin many re«t»ect» moNt important. I do not say it reproachfully, for lam (sure he did nil he considered neeewmrv; but it appears to be the <act, that the cxaroinut! mof the body which he innde waa not calculated to detect the scarcely p>rceptihlc pubatitm^of the heart whirh are atone to be detected dnrinj? an attack of bvnteriftal «ynirope. Beltevtnfr the woman to be dead, Dr Hardy yielded to the lescecbingK of the prisoner and opened a vein in the arm j and 1 believe that it was v^ry unfortunate tliat he omitted to bind the arm subsequently. I put it to you tut a tea*owib)o hypothssaa, that Dr Hardy wiw the woman lt» a state of hysterical syncope; and that she died from loss of blood, consequent upon the vein being left open. Dr Macadam has (old you that a stethoscope should be uwxl if poseible; "but its use was not considered necessary he =c, because it was fupposed ilio woman waidcad. It is not uncommon to hold a looking rlots before the noHtrllfi, k> on to detect the faintest breath; but, for the iame reason, that wan not done. I con- : fidently say, that this hypothcHW mto syncope is a %sifc pround on which you would be warranted in acquitting the prisoner. To take another view, Dr Hardy believed death, to have resulted from |iu<;r|>mui eouvu^ion* ani it might -t-ll bs- nn<u u> be fimi>ly a qut-slion for the medic*! men whether that or n fir. was the can*?. > r H icfceo. the only medical wittier who had Ben a mm undtiuhieilly die from ssryohnitjp, >ie-c i''ed cyrnp t >ra« mucu moie marked thnn thone de^eribtd i»y Mis* J:*rvcy, even Hiippotrirg every word of her -mry is to ba rftiled on. 1 ihink the le«s Isay alviufc the evid-lice of Dr Hulm^, the better.
