THE TRIAL FOR MURDER.
It has frequently occurred to mejthat if any
anember of the bar, who has been for a few years in
practice in our criminal courts, possessing the noâ
uucommon qualities of a moderate understanding, «
mind opea to conviction, and « tulerabdle share of
atteution to the cases*which occur, would communi-
cate.to the world the result of his experience, he
would do more to enlighten the public mind upow
the nature and practical operation of that most
valued of our institutions, trial by jury, than could
be effecied in any other mode. No maa can have
attended, even for a single day, cither as a juror or
a Wwivaessy in any ec of our courts, whether civi
or criminal, without having beea struck, if he be of
au observaut habit, by verdicts utterly at variance
with the facts upou*which these verdicts have been
tounded,
Que of the most extraordinary and iuteresting
trials of which I find any account in my note-book,
took place very little less than thirty years ago. It
is instructive in many points of view. âTo those
who believe that they see the finger of Providence
especially poisting out the murderer, and guiding,
ia aslow but unerring course, the footsteps of the
avenger of blood, it will afford a matter of deep
meditation and reflection.
In the year 18â, John Smith (I use fictitious
names) was indicted for the wilful murder of Henry
Thompson. The case was ove of a most extra-
ordinary nature, and the interest excited by it was
almost unparalleled. The accused was a gentleman
of considerable property, residing upon his own
estate, in an unfrequented part of the country. A
person suppused to be an eutire stranger to him,
had, late in a summer's day, requesied aud obtained
shelter aud hospitality for the night. He had, it
was supposed, after taking some slight refreshment,
retired to bed in perfect health, requesting to be
awakeoed at an early hour the following morning,
When the servant appointed te call him entered his
room fur that purpose, he was found io his bed per-
fectly dead; aud from the appearance of the body,
it was obvious that he had beea so for many hours.
There was not the slightest mark of violeace on his
person, and the counteuance retained the same ex-
pression which it had borne during life. Great
consternation was of course excited by this discovery,
and inquiries were immediately madeâfrst, as to
who the stranger was, and secoodly, as to how he
met with his death. Both were unsuccessful. As
to thé formor ao information could be obtained, oo
clue discovered to lead to the kaowledge cither of
his name, his person, or his oveupation. He kad
arrived on horseback, aud was seen passing through
a neighboring village about au hour before he
reached the house where hia existence was ao
mysteriously terminated, but could be traced no
further. Beyond this all was conjecture.
With respect to the death, as little could be learned
as of the dead man. It was, it is true, sudden,
awfully sudden ; but there was no reason, that alone
excepted, to suppose that it was caused by the band
of man rather thau by the hand of God. Acoronerâs
jury was of course summoued; and after an in-
vestigation, in which little more eould be proved
than that which I bave just stated, a verdict was
returned to the effect that the deceased died by the
visitation of God. Days aud weeks passed on, and
little further was knowns. In the meantime, rumor
had not beeu idle. Suspicions, vague, indeed, aud
undefined, but of e dark and fearful character, were
at first whispered, and afterwards buiaty oxpressed,
âThe precise object of these suspiciogs was not clearly
indicated; some implicated one person, some
avother, but they all pointed to Smith, the master of
the house, as concersed ia thedeath of the stranger.
As usual io such eases, cireumstances totally un-
connected with the transaction in question, matters
many years autecedent, and relatiag to other persons,
as well as other times, were used as auxiliary to the
resent charge. The character of Smith in early
jite had been exposed to much observation, While
his father was yet alive, he had left his native
country, involved in debt, known to have beeo guilty
of great irregularities, and suspected of not being
over-scrupulous as to the mode of obtaining those
supplies of money of whick he was coatinually in
wauty and which ke seemed inexplicably to procure.
. Ten years and more had elapsed, since his return ;
and the events of his youth bad been jorgottea by
many, ead to many entirely unknown; but on this
occasion, they were revived, aud probably with
considerable additious ; and in fine the magistrates
were induced to commit Mr, Smith to jail, (0 take
his trial for the wilful murder of Heury Thompson.
As it was deemed essential to the attainment of
justice to keep secret the examiaation of the witnesses
who were produced before the magistrate, all the
information of which the publid were iv popsesasion

THE TRIAL FOR MURDER.
It has frequently occurred to mejthat if any
anember of the bar, who has been for a few years in
practice in our criminal courts, possessing the noâ
uucommon qualities of a moderate understanding, «
mind opea to conviction, and « tulerabdle share of
atteution to the cases*which occur, would communi-
cate.to the world the result of his experience, he
would do more to enlighten the public mind upow
the nature and practical operation of that most
valued of our institutions, trial by jury, than could
be effecied in any other mode. No maa can have
attended, even for a single day, cither as a juror or
a Wwivaessy in any ec of our courts, whether civi
or criminal, without having beea struck, if he be of
au observaut habit, by verdicts utterly at variance
with the facts upou*which these verdicts have been
tounded,
Que of the most extraordinary and iuteresting
trials of which I find any account in my note-book,
took place very little less than thirty years ago. It
is instructive in many points of view. âTo those
who believe that they see the finger of Providence
especially poisting out the murderer, and guiding,
ia aslow but unerring course, the footsteps of the
avenger of blood, it will afford a matter of deep
meditation and reflection.
In the year 18â, John Smith (I use fictitious
names) was indicted for the wilful murder of Henry
Thompson. The case was ove of a most extra-
ordinary nature, and the interest excited by it was
almost unparalleled. The accused was a gentleman
of considerable property, residing upon his own
estate, in an unfrequented part of the country. A
person suppused to be an eutire stranger to him,
had, late in a summer's day, requesied aud obtained
shelter aud hospitality for the night. He had, it
was supposed, after taking some slight refreshment,
retired to bed in perfect health, requesting to be
awakeoed at an early hour the following morning,
When the servant appointed te call him entered his
room fur that purpose, he was found io his bed per-
fectly dead; aud from the appearance of the body,
it was obvious that he had beea so for many hours.
There was not the slightest mark of violeace on his
person, and the counteuance retained the same ex-
pression which it had borne during life. Great
consternation was of course excited by this discovery,
and inquiries were immediately madeâfrst, as to
who the stranger was, and secoodly, as to how he
met with his death. Both were unsuccessful. As
to thé formor ao information could be obtained, oo
clue discovered to lead to the kaowledge cither of
his name, his person, or his oveupation. He kad
arrived on horseback, aud was seen passing through
a neighboring village about au hour before he
reached the house where hia existence was ao
mysteriously terminated, but could be traced no
further. Beyond this all was conjecture.
With respect to the death, as little could be learned
as of the dead man. It was, it is true, sudden,
awfully sudden ; but there was no reason, that alone
excepted, to suppose that it was caused by the band
of man rather thau by the hand of God. Acoronerâs
jury was of course summoued; and after an in-
vestigation, in which little more eould be proved
than that which I bave just stated, a verdict was
returned to the effect that the deceased died by the
visitation of God. Days aud weeks passed on, and
little further was knowns. In the meantime, rumor
had not beeu idle. Suspicions, vague, indeed, aud
undefined, but of e dark and fearful character, were
at first whispered, and afterwards buiaty oxpressed,
âThe precise object of these suspiciogs was not clearly
indicated; some implicated one person, some
avother, but they all pointed to Smith, the master of
the house, as concersed ia thedeath of the stranger.
As usual io such eases, cireumstances totally un-
connected with the transaction in question, matters
many years autecedent, and relatiag to other persons,
as well as other times, were used as auxiliary to the
resent charge. The character of Smith in early
jite had been exposed to much observation, While
his father was yet alive, he had left his native
country, involved in debt, known to have beeo guilty
of great irregularities, and suspected of not being
over-scrupulous as to the mode of obtaining those
supplies of money of whick he was coatinually in
wauty and which ke seemed inexplicably to procure.
. Ten years and more had elapsed, since his return ;
and the events of his youth bad been jorgottea by
many, ead to many entirely unknown; but on this
occasion, they were revived, aud probably with
considerable additious ; and in fine the magistrates
were induced to commit Mr, Smith to jail, (0 take
his trial for the wilful murder of Heury Thompson.
As it was deemed essential to the attainment of
justice to keep secret the examiaation of the witnesses
who were produced before the magistrate, all the
