After a during which the counsel for the detence held a | consul ation, Mr. Stewart opened the case fon behalf of the prisoner. He contended that the proseeution had failed, and made t critical review of the evidenee adduced. Admitting that Larter had acted impro- vy and foolishly, he maintained that his | interviews with Doctors and with | Slate, his vizit= to the drugstores and, in- | deed, all his acts in that resard had been | at the reqne=t and solicitatiun of the unfor- | tunate girl, and that the evidence of Dr. | Morris and Charles Slate was largely and essentially imaccurate. He annonnced that the prisoner himself would go 7 t recesr, ' the the stand and give evidence. Dr. Jen- kins wae then called and gave evi- deve as to the effect of the drugs.

The clause concerns the question of Trish representation at Westminster. Seeton Karr moved that the Irish bers of the Imperial elected by constituencies which would elect the Irish Legislative Council. Under thie amendment the Irish in the House of Commons would namber 48, instead of #0, as proposed by the bill. Sir Richard Temple said even 43 Irish members would be too many. Wr. Broderick agreed with Sir Richard. The Irish, he impecunious and garrulous. There lay two reasons for reducing their representation in the House to a minimum, Thos. Sexton interrupted Mr. Broderick to say such lan- guage was grossly impertinent and ought not to be tolerated in the House. The chairman told Mr. Sexton that he was out of order and must withdraw his expres sions concerning Mr. Broderick’s speech. Mr. Sexton expressed his willingness to obey the chairman in case Mr. Broderick would first express regret for his language. Considerable disorder ensued. Mr. four said that acting under his advice Mr. Broderick refused to apologize. The | ehairman ordered Mr. Sexton to with- draw. The latter refused, and more dix- order ensued, Mr. Sexton to obey Sexton replied with the chairman. evident reluctance that he would leave his defence with the prise minister, Cheers and counter cheers were given when he made this statement. He retired. Afterward« Mr. Be aderick withdrew his statement that the Trish were impecunions and garrnlou-s, and order was restored. Seeton-Karr’s amendment was rejected, 251 to .219. Timothy Healy appealed to Speaker Peel against Chairman Mellor’s treatment of Mr. Sexton. The speaker supported Mr Mellor’s decision A Protest From China, It is reported that the Chinese minister in Paris has lodged a strong protest against | the aggressive French action in Siam. A Telegram from Bangkok declares that the general porition of the French in Inde- China is approaching a crisis. A part.al insurrectiion is proceeding in Annam, and trade has almost entirely ceased, while the Chinese secret sscieties are increasing their activity and brewing mischief throughout the peninsula, A Dutch gunboat ha« ar- rived at Bangkok, and a German gunboat is expected. A Very Sensational Suicide. Mile. Wandahr Kaszye lately committed suicide at Brussels under romantic cir- cumstances. She was a great beauty and lived with her step-father, the Rusvian Privy Conneiller Metchkowsky, who was also the financial agent of the Kussian | treasury. She became enamoured of Prince Victor Napoleon, who lived oppo- site to her in the Avenue Louive, and wrote letters to him which he ignored. She thereupon shot herself through the heart, after visiting and laying tlowerx upon the grave of General Boulanger and Madame Bonnemain. Remarkable Cure of Consumption. Another almost miraculous cure of third-stage consumption by Dr. Amick has come to light, according to a recent des- ete from Cineinattia. Over a vear ago Mrs. Hayes, of North Bend, O., who was | viven up to die within a month, was placed under his treatment at the request of her ueighbor, no less a person than Mra. Bettie Eaton, sister of nieces Harrison. Dr. Amick soon had Mrs. Hayes on her feet, and she has remained well ever since. Thousands of consumptives write Dr. Amick for medicine, but as his only am- bition is to sati-fy his brother physician« of the correctness of his theory and treat- ment, medicine to test it is only sent to doctors in good standing. ; A Russo-German tariff war is threat- ened. The German government has an- nounced its rejection of the recent over- fures from St. Petersburg as affording no suitable basis for a commercial arrange- ment. As a consequence, Russia is im- gowng heavy daties upon German mana- factures, and several of the chief German parties are urzing reprisals by a taxation of Russian wheat, which they think can now be obtained from India and the American continent.

I did not take any medicine from Slate to the girl. | She wanted to see Slate again and I went to him for her. 1 waa not there when they had the interview. I had not been to Dr. Warburton’s before going to Slate's, It was between the Sth and Ith that I went to Dr. Warburton. I had seen her every day. She was keeping it up continually. She was at me about it every day and every time I went over. She asked me to see Dr. Warburton. I told her it was no use to go to Dr, War- burton; that I knew he would have nothe ing to vo with it. I did not go that even- ing. She pre sel me to go, and I went, Tne Doetor’s evidence was very nearly right. I told the doctor that there was a girl in trouble, and that she wanted him to do something for her. He declined, and said that it could not be done in Halifax. He asked me the name of the girl and I told him it was McEachern. I saw Slate | again one evening. This was afeer seeing Dr. Warburton. She wished tu see Slate. , [told him so, and he came up to see her. Whatever drugs he gave her I did not | curry them tu her. The girl asked me to get asecond syringe, and I got it.

The Situation Considered from an Later- Colonial Point of View, According to a late de:patch from London, the Pall Mall Gazette, which, with its recent change of ownershiy changed its polities, is now supporting th- Conservative party and is publishing a eries of articles from the pen of Lord Salixbury, the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, Prof. Lecky and other well-known oppon- ents of Jrizii home rute. It prints an artiele by Salisbury, in whiea the former prime minister maker out a case againt Home Rule from an inter-eolonial point of view. Lord Saii + oury saya he xees two dangers, the first aud mort sensible of which is the blow chat will be given tu India by the granting of Hume Rale te Ireland. ludia, he de- elares, is hekd by the justice of Eng)and’: rile, thong) the last resort is alway: turve, The taste for surrender is con tagious, It depends upon the answer ziven to Ireland what «hail be given in response to similar demands, which is sure tu be made by India. The second poimt of danger is the event of war between Great Briiain and another power, An unfricndly executive in Ire- wud eonld, in the event of war cause un- told distress by allowing an enemy to pro cure coal and provisions in Trixh ports, and by allowing the coasts to be used as a rendezvous for the privateers. In support of this contention Lord Salisbury quotes from the work of Captain Mahon, of the United States’ navy, on the influence of the rea power of the French durmyg the revo- ution, Though England was “mistress of the seas,” privateers captured an immense number of British merehantmen. In con- clusion Lord Salisbury gays that he be- lieves that traditional hatred will impel the Irish to fully use against England any aivantage they may secure. A LITTLE HERO, Eddie Camerou’s Desperate Efforts to Save His Little Brother, A shocking secident, re-ulting from the use of fireworks, and at the same time a case of exeeptjona) youthful heroiem, is reported from Kenokee Township, O1t. On Saturday afternoon Charlie, the 4-year-old son of Danie} Cameron, residing two miles | from Brockway, was burned to death, | while Ejdie, a 6-year-old son, was serions- | lv and perhaps fatally burned in attempt- ing to save his flames, The little fellows had been amn-- ing themselves Ly sheeting off firecrack- ers, and after tiring of the sport they bot! went into the barn and lav down to have a sleep. The older one awoke som 8.ime afterwards and found the building den-ely black with smoke. He immediately rush ,ed out of the barn, but upon reachi- wg the open air remembered — hi- little brother, and, although the barn was already a blazing furnace he thrice rushed into the flames, The first twp times he had to jretreat for fie h air but the third time he made his way to where his little brother was lying and tugged at him. The burden, however, wa- too much for the little fellow; the younger boy undoubtedly already being unconscious from the smoke, and the brave little her; ~ eneceeded in reaching the open air imself when he fell down exhausted and frightfully burned about the face and arn s. He was picked up and taken to the house by persons coming Gp at that time, and is now in a preearious condition, his whole face being a huge blister. The barn and contents were nearly destroyed, and the body of the smaller boy burned nearly to a crisp, the head being frightfully burned, and the feet and one grny dropping of when the body was moved. —————— Ea MARRIED.

It was wo vears old this spring. I thought it was t pretty promising colt, ] never saw any ickness about him. He wanted me to take him and break him in oe and the colt was always ready for me, I saw Dr, Morris at Larter’s oneday, The doctor had a } black box marked upon it “ fountain vringe.” Morris bought a bottle of whits- | sey and he told Larter to wrap it up with | the box and put it away, - i Cross-examined by the Attorhey-General. —I{ have Larter’s place rented: keep & bar-room there. The prblic supplies the funds. I bought the business out from Mr. Larter. I have the same boy that he had. I broke the colt in for Mr. Larter last March. He was not sick last pring that [ know. When Larter got nto trouble he sold the colt. I would have known if the colt had been sick. I think that Dr. Morris wrapped up the box. The doctor told Larter to put the things with his father’s. In the evening he ealled and got the things and put them in his father’s sleigh. To Mr, Davies—I never gave Mr. Lar- ter any medicine for the colt. The cave for the defence rested here. The following evidence in rebuttal was ihen admitted by the Chief Justice : Dr. Leeming (sworn)—-Examined by the Attorney General, — I know Larter by sight, He called on me one morning about a fortnight or so before this matter appeared in the papers. He called at my heuse and said that he wanted to -ee me about agirl that wasin trouble. I didn't want to have anything about the matter. No naines passed. He said that Slate had toll hii that IT was the only doctor’ in town able to do what he wanted. | under- =tood that it was through Slate that he came to me. Mrs. McEachern (re-called) Examined by the Attoruey-General—It is not true that I told Larter on the Sunday after my daughter died that we had gone $80 behind in the rent of the other house. That state- ment is abeolutely untrue. It is not true that I tokl him so on any occasion. To Mr, Davies: [ have told him at times that the times were dull and hard. Dr. Warburton,(recalled,) Examined by the Attorney-General, Some tome after- wards my attention was called.to the’ faet that | had had that consultation with the prisoner, It was on the night of the 11th or evening of the 12th. Dr. H. Johnson was with me. When we were going home Dr. Jolson mentioned the fact of a pat- ient having come to him and a-ked him to perform an abortion. This very case was then talked of by us. Ft wou! he at least tive days previous to this that Larter called fpon me. Patrick Morris (+worn) examined by the Attorney-General—I am the father of Dr. Morris. 1 was in town on the 28th of March. I met my son at MeKachern’s, Larter did not ask mein front of Goff Bros. store to bring back a parcel that my son had taken away. Mr. Davies then elused the case on be- half of the prioner. No crime, short of murder wae, he -aid, equal to that charged azainst his client. The respousibility of the verdict rests solely upon the jury, A large part of the evidence has no direct bearing upon the case. It is diftticalt now for a juryman to come to a case wholly unprejudiced, a.} kinds of evidence | being whyitted at the preliminary examination before tue Stipend.ary Magistrate and published in tue aacy papery. But let the prisoner have a fair trial. Let not the prisoner bé made a victim of the popular desire for the convietiun of some - one <upposed to be guilty of the great crime wich haa bees econimiitted, The ‘ae of Lizzie Borden in a care a potut, At first rhe was re- zarded as gstilty and the publie cried aloud for her blood. juta long time elapsed before the trial, the public mind uad time to regain its balance, and when ~he was acquitted there was a universal acelaim of approbation. The value of cir- eumetantial evidence was shown recently when aa innocent man was on sueh evi denee sent to the gallows for murdering @ man who came back to his home aliveand well, If there is a reasonable doubt that the pri-oner committed — the crime, he must be acquitted. This was a cardinal principle of the Hng- fi h law. What is the sworn duty of the | jury ? It is not to find that the girl was i puisoned, Let the girl vest, Weare here to tind whether or net the prisoner has coamn.tted the crime charged in the in- dctment—that is, with administering and cancing to be taken by the girl certain poisons with intent to procure a miscar- ' | | riage. ‘he prisoner has done foolish— criminally fuolish—acts in respect to the unfortunate girl, If the girl got him to | obtain medicines for her, the man is not | guilty af adeinistering paisans to her, It moist be -fonnd that William Larter ad- | ministered, or cansed to be taken, poisons | to the girl, But there js no such evidence, Tue low practitioner who prescribes medi- cine, knowing that it jx to be used for an improper purpose, is the guiltier man. Tue point to be deciuded is whether or not Larter supplied the poisons in this case. He never bad or heard of corrosive subr limate, There is no evidence that he gave the girl corrosive sublimate. So far as corrosive sublimate is coneerned, itgvould be a judicial murder if Larter were con- vieted on the evidence. Then as to oil of savin, oil cof juniper, oil of cedar, ete., tivere is no evidence Wuatever that Larter | ever obtained or administered any of these thugs tu ete unfortuuate girl, Taen there is the tariar emetic. William Parsons says that he Jeft some of this in the hands of Larter. Well, William is a man of frees and easy habvits. who is veterinary fer all the truckmen in — town, But there is no evidence whateyer that Larter conveyed fartar emetic to the de- ceased girl. What isthe prooft There is none. As to the fluid extraet of ergot, it was not a medicine to operate in the earlier period of gestation. The doctors all agree im this. There is no evidence that the de- ceased took this medicine, though there is evidence that Larter took it to her. Larter always maintained that he was net the author of the girl’s trouble. If he had thought he was he would not have hesitat- ed to spend $50 or $100 to send her out of the country. This is sworn to by the wit- nesses for the prosecution. You are asked to believe that a man who would not pay to send the girl ont of the country was willing to pay doctors’ bills and ‘almost risk his ueck. If Charles Slate were in the dock jnstead of Larter, how would he stand? He has heen a drinking man for nineteen years, and his moral character is deteriorated. He lives by his wits asa kind of doctor amonz men, sometimes practising upon women. He gave medi- eines te the girl, The oil of cedar is found in the girl’s room, The bottle containing the oil of juniper and oil of savin is found there, e had tried to get these drugs. These drags were prescribed and adminis ‘tered hy him. Then, as to Dr. Morris, he | denies that he examined | girl. But Slate says that the girl told him | that Dr. Morris examined her and eave her } the case of the the order for the ergot. — The eight-ounce bottle was prescribed by him. Larter, it is true, got the medicine for her. Did he do so with criminal intent’ There is no evi- dence, there is wot a scintilla of evidence. that Larter ever told her how much to take or when to take it. There is no evi- dence whatever that Larter admininistered a single drop of medicine to the girl. As to the compound iron pilly, Mr. Hughes says that they are not used for abortion purposes. They are advertieed in every newspaper in the land. Larter asked Mr. Hughes for regniating pills. Where is the evidence that the girl took them? Did Larter administer them? Did he know how they were to be taken? He did not. Now let as proceed further. Larter is proved to have told the truth about his visit te Dr. Warburton. Dr. Warburton did not give him anything—he administered no medicines from him. But he committed silly and foolish acts. We don’t deny it. He gave Slate $15 to get him out of the country. He did this heeanse Slate pleaded that he had dragged him into the trouble. and for that reason he gave him the monev. This was wrong. But it was not criminal, nor does it prove that Larter acted criminally. There is no donbt that the girl was poisoned. Now, Vl) show where itis more than probabie that the girl got the poison. Slate says that she told him that she got a yellow powder from an old woman, and that he told her that it contained enough saltpetre to kill a horse. That was the powder that she had in re- serve. Slate said nothing about it. Lar- ter knew nothing about it. There is one evidence — connecting him with it. had would produce death; and the girl told him that she would not take it except | But Larter knew nothing | as a last resort. about it. Mr, Davies concluded with a recapitulation of the points in his speech, andsan eloquent appeal to the jaryinen to remember their responsibilities, and that the merey you will seek at the last day you will be ready to give now. The Attorney-General began his address by referring to the high eriminalty of abortion, to the fact that it strikes at the foundation of society, and to the fact that the crime is increasing in this country. The fact that so many doctors were applied to in this case shows that the idea of abortion is toa prevalent. The ease for the crown dose not rest upon circumstantial evidence, We rest — the case npon the facts which have been proved. If you let the man clear now, you cannot take hold of him again. Why should yon pity the man if he is guiity of the crime charged ? Such a man deserves punishment. Suppose that he administered tartar emetic, he ought certainly to be im- prisoned for life as the Jaw directs. But if, on the other hand, you find that he was guilty of giving the girl pills or something for the purpose of abortion not so deadly as tartar emetie, the judge, in his discretion, need not condemn the prisoner to imprisonment for life. The Jury can find the prisoner “guilty” or “not guilty” in any “count” in the indictment. Each “connt” must be taken by itself, and decided by itself. As to the ad- mini-terer of the poison, it was not essential to the case for the prosecution that the medicine shorld be given to the woman by the hand of the prisoner or that he should direct her how to take it. All the dectors agree that ths girl owas wi-oned, and the analysis proves the fact. ‘here can be no misiake pon this point. The woman was -po. oned by tartar “emetic at all events. There is also evidence that she was poivoned by corrosive sublimate. One question thit you all have to deci le is who'gave her t it poison? The motive of the prisoner was this: The girl blamed him, and he had a wife and family. Therefore, he had the strongest reason for desiring that the matter be hushed up. He thonght that a few cents expended in deugs would effect this; therefore, he decliyed tu spend money to send her away. That ia the explanation of his statement to Slate that he would give her this powder, and if that didn’t wok he would send her away, He went to Dr, Warburton, and then he went tu Slate; he went to Dr. Kelly and Dr. Leeming on the advice of Slate, Dr. Leeming would have nothing to do with criminal cases, Why did he go to Dr. Warburton and Dr. Leeming? His idea was to obtain an abortion. He would not say that Slate was immaculate. He be Leved that he, too, was guilty.
