THE DAY FIXED FOR TRIAL,

FURTHER
YESTERDAY various rumors were afloat regarding the action of the Grand Jury in the Margate murder case. It was said that the indictment had been thrown out, and then again it was reported that it had been found. Those of the jury who were asked, refused to say anything of the matter, stating that the Chief Justice in his charge had specially warned them to have no con- versation with anyone regarding the busi- ness which came before them. In the afternoon it seemed to be understood that a bill had been found, and the court com- menced rapidly to fill up. About four o'clock the Grand Jury entered the court room, headed by their foreman, P. M. Bourke, Esq. The three Judges were oa the Bench, and some legal point was being discussed by Mr. Davies, who at once re- sumed his seat, and W. A. Weeks, Esq., the Clerk of the Crown, read over the roll of the jurors, who answered to their names. He then asked them if they had agreed to any
BILL OF INDICTMENT.
The foreman handed a paper to the Clerk of the Crown, who, turning to the Judges, amid deep silence suid: *‘ My Lords: The Queen against Willicm Millman. Indict- ment for murder A true bill. For self and fellows. P. M. Bourke, Foreman.” Mr. Hodgson, Millman’s counsel, crossed the court room, to where the Attorney-General sat, and the two gentlemen enter- ed into, what seemed to be, an earnest conversation for some time. The Attorney General then summoned the Sheriff and’ whispered some _ in- structions to him; and this, together with Mr. Hodgson coming into Court a few minutes later with his robes on, led every one to believe that Millman had been sent for to be arraigned. It is astounding how information of this kind literally flies. Every moment brought additional numbers to the courtroom, and soon that portion allotted to the public was crowded. It is said that Miilman had never been in Charlottetown until he was brought under arrest, and that besides his counsel there were probably not three persons in the city who have ever seen him. This fact, in addition to the intense interest created by
the trial, accounts for the numbers who THRONGED THE COURT ROOM yesterday. After the departure of
the Sheriff, the law argument was resumed. Upon enquiry I learned that it was some ‘‘s ” of a case in which Judge Alley was suing the Boston Steamboat Company, for the loss of his luggage by the steamer Merrimack which was sunk off the coast of Nova Scotia last summer. As soon as I heard this, I settled myself down to take notes of what I felt sure would be an interesting case. But it was not at all so. There were three lawyers engaged, Mr. M. MelLeod, Mr. Davies and Mr. Peters, and they managed very successfully not only to make it uninteresting, but abso- jutely uniutelligable tu one
NOT LEARNED IN THE LAW.
{ soon gave up the hope of understanding what was going cy. Whatever one lawyer said was so, another declared was not so; and then Mr. Peters read law from a book, a ** decisive case,” he called it, which en- tirely settled the question in his favor ; and then Mr. Davies read another “‘ decisive ” case which he declared to be of still greater authority and settled the question in his favor, And the Judges wrote it all down very carefully, and looked very solemn as Judges ought to look. All this time there was not a word about Judge Alley or the steamer, or the luggage ; but a great deal about matters called by odd-sounding names, which reminded me of the well- known lines (they must have been written by a lawyer) :—
Melodious as Apollo's lute,
ls the soft language of a suit,
The ‘ writ,’ how sweet the ‘ declaration,’
The ‘double-plea,’ the ‘ replication;’
Persuasive as the accents sweet,
Which captive held the Grecian fleet.”
At length a rush is heard of people cem- ing quickly up the stairs. The constable has as much ashe can do to keep them quiet as they rush in. Within the barrier law students and clerks are seen coming in; evidently [tke prisoner has come. In another minute the portly form of Sheriff Curtis comes from the passage behind the Judges’ seat, followed by Millman and ex- City Marshal Flynn, who seems to be the head coustable-in-charge. Every eye was
DIRECTED TO THE PRISONER.
lt was getting dark as he entered, and the gas had not been lighted, sc that I could not get a very good view of him from where 1 sat. Mr. Hodgson beckoned himtohim and spoke to him for a short time, and as far as possible I had as good a view of him as the dim light permitted. His height is about five feet ten inches,dark hair and deep grey eyes. His face is round, complexion ruddy, and there seemed no signs of whiskers or beard, nor even of an incipient moustache. His figure is slight and erect, and he looks about nineteen years of age. His manner seemed
FREE FROM EMBARRASSMENT. At something his lawyer said he smiled quietly, but his face quickly settled into a quiet weary expression. As he spoke to Mr. Hodgson, I noticed that his teeth were small and white. Having taken his seat in the dock, and the contending

peace of Our Lady the Queen, the Crown and dignity.
After reading the document,he was asked, “Are You Guilty or Not Guilty.” To this. im a clear voice, he answered, ‘‘ Not Grilty. ‘“When will you be ready for trial. Mr. Hodgson then rose and ad- dressed the Court. He stated that the de- fence of the prisoner rested upon him. That while he did not desire to delay the proceedings in any way, it was not possible that he could be ready for «a week. He reminded their Lordships that he could not issue any subpceneas until the bill of in- dictment had been found, which had been only a few minutes before, and he asked that Monday week (23rd January) be the
DAY FIXED FOR THE TRIAL.
The Attorney General in reply said that, although the time asked for seemed long, yet the Court had no desire to hurry the a. and that he left the matter entire- y to the Court. The Chief Justice, after conferring with Mr. Justice Peters and Mr. Justice Hensley, fixed Monday, 23rd January as the day forthe trial. Millman then left the Courtroom and went to the Sheriffs office, where he had a long interview with Mr. Hodgson. In the meantime a great crowd had collect- ed around the door, numbering quite 200 persons, to see Millman drive off in the sleigh. They seemed to have gathered from curiosity only, Not a word was said to him; but as I stood among them I heard such expressions as,
‘*HE IS NOT SUCH A BAD LOOKING FELLOW, IS HE?”
‘** He has a nice face, hasn’t he now.” And the prisoner entered the sleigh, and was rapidly driven off.
Mr. F. Peters has been retained by the Tuplin family to assist the Attorney General. The retainer was first offered to Mr. L. H. Davies, but his engagements were such that he could not accertit. It is understood that Mr. Justice Hensley will
preside at the trial. oer

Steadfastly, for forty-two years, the WEEKLY WirTNeEss has held to principles which have stood the test of time, ridicule, and of opposition, fair and unfair, and the WiIrnxss to-day speaks to sixty where in 1816 it spoke to one. Its growth has been both rapid and steady. Its publishers, desirous of still further increasing its circulation, have this year gone to large expense to secure a reproduction of THE LATEST MASTERPIECE of Davidson Knowles (who was selected by Queen Victoria to paint the scene at Princess Beatrice’s wedding,) entitled.
Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me
It depicts the memorable scene with startling realism, reproducing in oils all the richess of ORIENTAL COLORING, ‘the picture, executed by the greatest art firm in England, weuld bring $1.50 if sold, butis reserved KXCLUSIVELY FOR SUBSCRIBERS tothe WITNESS.
