I: was apparently oi toretgu manufacture, and was described by medial men a. being of the description used by trliotttlotoltt preserv. those liquids which are most likely to lose tltett virtue by exposure to the air. 'l‘o where this be- longed, or to what use it had been app ted, there was no evidence to that w.

Snell was the address of the counsel for the pro- oecIth. and. during its detit-«ry, I had GRU‘I‘IH‘ watched the countenance oi the PIlM’It'r. who had listened to it with deep attention. Twice only did I perceive that it produced in him the altgltlns otnotion. When the disappearance cl his house- hee r was mentioned, a smile oi" scorn passed met his ip: and the notice of the discovery oi the stopper obviously excited as interest, and. I thought. an apprehension ; but it quickly subsided. I unethuot detail the evidence that was git en tor the prosecution: it amounted, in substance, to that which the counsel stated, nor did it vary in any particular. The stopper was produced, and proved to have been iound in the house; but no attempt was mndeto trace it to the prisoner‘s possession, or men know- ledge. .

When the case was closed. the learned )udge, addressing tho counool for the prosecution, said he thettght thoro was hardly suttlciettt ovulsncc to_cnll upon the risoner for his defence: and, if the Jury were of t e some opinion, they would atom-c stop the case. Upon this observation irotu the )udgo, the jury turned round {or a moment. and then tut_mmted their acquiesence in ltis honor's view at the svuleuce. The counsel folded up their briefs, and a verdict oi acquittal was about to be taken, when the prisoner. addressed the court. "a stated that, having been!

accused of on foul a crime as murder, and having} had his character assailed by suspicions of the mosti .

adlicting nature.that character could neverbo clenrsdl

by his acquittal upon tlts ground that the evident-cl

against him was inconclusive, without giving him an opportunity of stating his own c_aee, and calling a wittlooo to counteract the impressions that had been raised against bimby osplaini those circumstances which at present appeared don ti I

He rc- peatad to them that he never could incl autisticd to be acquitted merely because the evidence was not conclusive. and pledged ltlm.=cll, in it very short time, by the tow observations he should mnltc, and the witness whom he should call, to obtain their verdict on much higher grounds, upon the impossi- bility of his being guilty oi the dreadful crime. With respect to the insinuations which had been thrown out against him, he thought one observation would dispose of them. Assuming it to be true that the deceased died from the ellcct ol apoison, oi which he called God to witness that he had never even heard either tho name or the existence until this . “day, was not every probability of his innocence? Herc wasa perfect stranger, not known to have in his possession a single article of value, who might either have lost or been robbed of that roperty which he was said to have ltud at II—-—. hot so probable as that he should, in a moment cl despair at hie loss. have destroyed himself? The fatal drug was stated to have been inmiliar in those countries in which Mr. Thompson had travelled. while to himself was utterly unknown. Above all, ho implored the jury to rememberthat, although the eve oi mnlicc had watched every proceeding at his since the iatal accident, and though the most minute search had been made into every part at his pro- mises, no vertigo had been discovered of the most tuning article belonging to the deceased, nor had even a rumor been circulatadtltat poison of my kind had been ever in his possession. ()l the stopper which had been found he dtsowned all knowledge. He declared, most solemnly. that bribed never seen it before it was produced in court, nod he asked, could the tools at its being found in his house only a few days ago, when hundreds of people had been there, produce upon an impartial mind even a momentary prejudice against him 7 One fact, and one only had been proved, to which it was possible inrhim to give an answer, the fact of his having one to the bedroom at his housekeeper outhc night to question. He bod been subject, for many years of bk lilo. to, sudden tits of illnegs: he had been seiaod wi'ft one on that occasionmnd had gone to her to procure her assistance in lighting a tire. She had returned with him to his room for that purpose. he lia‘vlng waited for a minute in the passage whilst the put on her clothes, which would account for the momentary diva pearsnee ol the light; and after the bad remains in his rooms few minutes, finding himself better, he had dismissed her, and retired again to bed, from which be had not risen until he was informed oi the death of his guest. It has been said that, after his committal to prison. his house- beeper had disappeared. He avowed that. finding his enemies determined, if possible, to accomplish his ruin, ho had thought it probable they might tamper with his servant. He had therefore kept her out of their way; but for what purpose? Not to prevent her testimony being given. ior she was new under the core at his counsel. and would instantly appear for the purpose ot confirming, as far as the w: eflneerned, the statement which he had just
