LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Crimsat Cover.—Trial of Jas. P.and John S. Devlin, for the murder of Thomas B. Berry. When our report closed yesterday, the following three additional justructions were asked by the Government's counsel : 7 If from the evidence the jury sball find that ahudden quarrel arose between the deceased and tile prisoners, and that blows passed between ye, and that, in the course of the contest and er becoming heated therein, one of the Dev- Nn’s, under tue intluence of such passion, killed the deceased by stabs, inflicted with a xnife,and the other Deviin was aiding and abetting in the killing, and acting in concert with his brother, such ty amounts to manslanyg liter, unless the Jury sball further find that the party who inflict- ed the stabs gave them in self-defence, after re- treating as far as he could with safety to himself, or that he labored at the time of giving the stabs wnder 2 well-founded apprehension of great bodily harm and the da Ker was so imminent that he could ne rat with safety ®. If from the re the jury shall find that one of the prisoners intlicted the stabs whereof the deceased, Thomas H_ Berry, died; and that the other was aiding. abetting and assisting thereat, it is immaterial which gave the blow. ex: both are responsible; but, if the jury shall fur, ther find that John Deviin, one of the Prisoners, gave thi he time of giving the same nsane, still James Devlin, if he was present ¥ and assisting, is responsible. Ifthe jury believe fiom the whole evidence. that a sudden quarrel arose between the deceased and the prisoners, and that blows them without any intention to kill or injure each other materially, and that in the course of the fe, after the parties became heated by the vatest, James Devlin killed the deceased with a deadly weapon, and that Jobn Devlin way pres- ent aiding and abetting in sucu killing, or vice versa. and that the deceased was unarmed, then the said defendants are guilty of manslaugbter. Mr. Kennedy then submitted the following instructions on the part of the defence : 1. If from the whole evidence aforesaid, the jury believe that one of the prisoners at the bar did, with malice aforetbought inflict upon the person of the said Thomas B Berry, in his life- time, the wounds whereof he afterwards died. bat are in donbt as to which of the said prisoners so inflicted the said wounds, their verdict must be “not guilty” as to both, unless, from the evi- dence aforesaid they further believe that at the time the said wounds were intlicted, the prison- oners acted together by preconcert aud with the intent to kill the said ‘Tuor B. Berry, or todo him great bodily harm 2. If, trom the evidence aforesaid, the jury be- lieve that tne wounds whereof the said Thomas B. Berry died were inflicted by John S. Devlin, one of the prisoners, but at a time when bis mind Was so diseased as to be usable to understand the true nature of the acts which he then did. and to distinguish between right and wrong with refer- ence to said acts, their verdict must be * not guilty”? as to him; and alxo - not guilty”? as to James P. Devlin, the other Prisoner, unless they further believe, from tne evidence aforesaid. that the said James,with malice aforeth ht, caused the aforesaid Jobn S. Devlin to iptlict the said Wounds aforesaid 3. If the jury believe, from the evidenc e, that James Devlin, one of the defendants, committed the homicide charged in the indictment, aud that at the time thereof he had reasonable ground to believe bis life was in dancer, or that the de- ceased would do bim grievons bodily harm, then they ought to acquit said defendant, althouzh in fact the said defendant did intend to take life or inflict severe bodily barn 4. If from the evidence aforesaid the jury shail believe that, for several years prior to, and at the death of the ssid Berry, he bad been prohibited * by the lawful owner, possessor, and occupants of jthe premises wherein he met his death, from en - tering the same; and that he bad repeatedly en- tered the same with threats and violence and sgmiust the will of said owners and occupants. emnd did so enter on the day of bi« dea “bat the said owner and occupant was a widow, id the privoners her two sons, and that she bad protector, except her sons; and that being or- idered off vy the mother of the prisoners, the said Berry refused to quit the said premises, then Prisoners, in obedience to the wish of their said mother, and, ay her agents. had the right to ex- pel said Berry fiom the said premises and to use all needful force for his expulsion; and if by rea- n Of Lis resistance to their efforts to expel him, and to preveut great bodily harai tu themselves, it became hecessary for their own protection to kill him, they were not bound to retreat. as in ordinary cases, and the killing is excusable, and ae equitted The instructions were abiy disenssed by the Various coursei; during which Mr. Bradicvy prayed an add:tionai instruction on the part of the defence. The arguments upon the inatrue- tions were not conctuded when the Court ad- journed. SIXTH DAY The prisoners were brought into Court and Placed in the box. Mr. Ouid replied to the arguments of the de- fence, on the instructions which had been prayed Mr. Cross followed, closing the arguments ‘Phe instructions were answered by the Court, who remarked upon them at considerable length, and instructed the Jury as to how they were to be applied by them in considering upon their verdict. A number of them were modified con- siderbly by the Court in commenting upon them. ‘The case was then closed, and the jury went to their room Ovw * Pecetiar Ixstitet: —The public of Washington are familiar with the leading characteristics of the band of young men who delight in the sobriquet of ‘Rams Their peculiar exploits have fora year past been duly recorded in the city’s police reports.

A communication was received from the Mayor informing the Board that they had been convened for the pu of considering the nomination of Noble J. Phomas as Lieutenant of Police: read and tabled , Mr. Riggs, on leave, introduced a bill autber- izing the Mayor to anticipate the revenue for the purpose of paying claims against the Corporation for the building of thenew almshouse; read three times and passed. A communication was received from the Mayor transmitting a statement of the account of the Corporation with the Bank of Washington to the 30th ultimo; referred to finance commnitee. A joint resolution was received from the lower Board, that the concurrent resolution adopted on Monday last, adjourning over until Tuesday next, be rescinded, and when these Boards adjourn they adjourn to meet on Monday, the I2th inst., att ovclock p m ; the resolution was read three times and passed Subsequently, Mr. Moore asked whether the title of the joint resolution could be amended now, ufter having been passed. The Chair stated that, to do so, it would be necessary to reconsider the vote by which it had been passed Mr. Moore then moved that the vote be recon- sidere ud it was agreed to. ‘The title of the joint resolution was read, as follows: *+ Joint resolution respecting adjourning over 4th of July.” Mr. Moore hoped the title would be amended ; the regular meeting of the Board would not come on Sunday, the tof July, but on Monday, July sth Mr. Riggs could not stultify himself by pass- ing a joint resolution respecting adjourning over Sunday when the Board did not meet on that ay On motion of Mr. Moore, the resolution was laid on the table The Board then went into the consideration of the nomivation of SN. Chipley, as Police officer of the Seventh Ward, and the nomination was conticmed Pending the confirmation as above re orted, Mr. A.W. Miller, remarked as follows: he thought that the course of the Mayor was very unusual in calling these special meetingsof the Board becau-e {wo or three nominations had been laid over for ex- amination Neary all the nominations which the Mayor sent in on Wednesday were contirmed without any objection whatever; and it was the right of the Board of Aldermen, or any member of that Board, to have an opportunity toexamine the character or lfications of any nominee for flice before voting toconfirmhim. Ifthe Mayor could not carry on the affairs of Washington city without the contirmation of one lieutenant of police whom he seen fit to nominate, Mr M. would say boldly tbat the people of Wash- ington on the first’ Monday of June last com. mitted a very serious error, aud le helped to do it ‘The nomination of Stephen Coser ax Ce ns sioner of lioprovements for the Third D istrict Was then taken up and confirmed On motion of Mr. A. W. Milier, the nomina- tion of Noble J. Thomas as Lieutenant of Police Was taken up Mr. Thos. Miller moved that the nomination be contirmed Mr A W. Miller moved that the nomination be referred to the committee on police, with in- structions to report on the same on M ft July. He bad been informed that Mr ‘Thomas has never had any experience ax a po li ectlicer,; Le had also received information from a former member of the Auxiliary Guard that Mr Thomas bas frequently been an inmate of the central guardhouse for Violations of law and order. He wes further informed that M:. T. now oveuples a position under government, and, owing to the inefficient mannet in which be dis. charges his duties, insubordination and turon lence have heen the result. For these reasons Le hoped that, if hese things were true. sach a pe eu would not be put into the respousible tiva of a Lieutenant of Police, but that the chatges might be investigated, ‘so that, if they were false, Mr. PT. might have au opportunity of vindicati mseif. : Mr. T Miller denied the charge of inef- and stated that the Warden of the Pen- td given Mr. ‘Thomas a certificate of € unpetency ou bis leaving that place ‘The Mayor hed told bi that, of his own knowledse, the He thought the nomi- itivtucd oF rejected. If there was any reason why Mr. ‘Thomas should hot be confirmed, why reject it, and give the Mayor a chance to make another homination. He did not understand the gentleman as making the above charges of bis own knowledge; if not, the information migbt be incorrect, and thence great injustice might be done toa worthy citizen. Mr. A.W. Miller wished it to be distinetly understood that he did not make these ct of bis own knowledge, but these things been stated to bin upou What be considered :e- sponsible and reliabie authority. He had aiso been told that the records of the Central Guard- house would sustain the Wuth of the statement, thet Mr. Thomas had been coutined there for vio- lations of the law. If these charges, upon exam- ination, should be proved to be false, be would vote for the nominee us soon as for any other man; Lut he dewanded thet they shoujd be in- vestigated. Mr. Riggs was inclined to believe, from what he had heard of Mr Thomas, tuat he was ayood and meritorious oiicer, and he was willing to contirm bim now. But he would remark to his friend from the Sixth Ward, that the Mayor had never said that he could not yet aloag without this particular n as lieutenant of police; but he had said, that, in ord-r to organize the potice force in pursuance of the law’ just passed, it would be uwecessary to have twe lieutenant i and if the Board of Ajdermen saw it to reje this man. he would send them angiter nomination Mr. Brown thought these charges ought to be invest d; for if they were trae, the nominee Was cettainly untit fur the position for which b has been nominated, and if they ire false, justice to him requires tbat be should be relieved fromm these aspersions on nis character. If the nomi- nee Wwe is twin brother, he would still say, let ex be investigated Mr. Clarke said that the person whom his col- Jeayue had stated was formerly a member of the Auxiliary Guard had not been connected with that body for niue at least tuat time si Thomas was in the watch-house, ax stated. Was that any reasou why he should not now be a good citiz well qualitied for the otfice for which le bi mominated? He thougut he would 0 out of that room to find some persons bolding Lizh positions, who hed been in the watch-house within a much tess time than that. Mr. A.W. Miller —How does the Alderman who last spoke kaow where I got my informa- ion’? Thave not exchanged a word with him on the subject. But thisT cau say, that be has information in lis own family of the truth of one of there charges against Mr. Thomas Mr. Clarke —I deny it, sir; it is not true! ‘The Chair called to order Mr. Riggs was willing to grant the investiga- tion, inasimueb as the Alderman fromthe Sixth Ward (Mr. A. W. Miller) had assured bin tha’ bis information was from sources Which be 1e- yarded responsible Mr Thos. Miller stated that Mr. Thomas was wow a sober man, whatever he might bave been formerly, he knew bim to be so ‘Toe question being taken on the reference of the nouing ion to the committee on police, with instenetions to report on the 12th inst, it was agreed to—yeas >, nays a = discussion now ensued as to the fact that tee of police was vacant by one mem- to the resignation of Mr. Goddard; izned Lis position as a ber of that committee Chair appointed Messrs Duaniugton and Moore to fill the vacaucies on the committee of ys lice : Mr. Fisher presented the petition of J.
