AN INCIDENT IN MISSISSIPPI JURIS- PRUDENCE. The Importance of hearing the Accused be. fore making Jetguees final. {From the N. O. Deita } The circumstances which I am about to relate occurred a few years ago, and are given to the press at the su; ion of a gentleman of New Orleans, whose friendship I highly value, and to whom I narrated the same in casual conver- sation on the lake a few days ago. I was attending the Cireutt Court of the State of Mississippi, held in and for the county of ——, in the autumn of 1552,when, among other pleas for the State, there was a bill of indict- ment for arson against Edinborough, a slave. ‘the Judge who presided was a gentleman of learning and extended | experience, and he still lives to enjoy the rewards of a professional repute at the capital city of sissippi. The accused was a native African, and was the property of a gentleman of the county in which the bill was found. The arson was laid in the destruction of a gin-house of his master; the plea was not guilty, when a jury was empannelled and the cause proceeded to trial. The prosecution was condueted by the distriet attorney, w the defence was under the management of one of the most thoroughly- read lawyers of our State, assisted by his son, a young lawyer then in the opening promise of a brilliant futare. The evidence on the part of the State dis- closed the following tacts: That a few days pre- vious to the burning, the defendant had run away upon insufficient cause; that the day be- fore the fire, which occurred between midnight and daylight, the defendant was seen lurkingin the vicinity of the that an ineffectual at tempt was then made to capture him; that the overseer and a portion of the hands had been engaged at the gin till a late hour the night of the fre, packing cotton and loading wagons for Grand Gulf; that when they left for the quar- ter they left everything, as they supposed, safe Stthe gin; that when alarm was made, the was carried to the gin, and an attempt made to subdue the flames. which proved abor- tive; that suspicion immediately fell upon the defendant, from the fact of his being a fugitive, and that he had been seen in the vicinity the day previous; that, upon that supposition, a more vigorous search was instituted, and after a diligent parsuit of about an hour and a half the defendant was discovered in a cotton house, in an adjacent field, about a mile from the gin; that he was then whipped, but not for the pur- pose of inducing confession, but as a punish- ment for running away; that after that, and while on the way to the quarter, the defendant involuntarily confessed t he burned the gin; that he set it on fire with a view of implicating @ negro on the plantation who had incurred his animosity The evidence for the State closed after intro- ducing the negro to prove that the defendant did owe him a grudge for some cause not neces- sary here to be detailed. The defence offered no evidence, and the argument proceeded. The Distriet Attorney opened the prosecution by a brief reference to the facts and the law applicable to the same. The counsel for the detendant, eminent for high legal attainment, resented a powerful series Of arguments and pea inconsistent with the conclusion of t. e The law was given in charge by the Court, and the jary rendered a verdict of guilty. A motion was made to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial, for a variety of causes, and, after a labored argument, was overruled. The next day the prisoner and another, who was convicted of murder, were placed at the bar to receive the sentence of death. The Court, having regularly pronounced jadgment upon the murderer, then said to Edin- ee *Edinborough, stand up! You have been regularly indicted, tried by a jury of your own selection, and by them found guilty of the i arson. The punishment for that crime isdeath. You have had able counsel, who hb: onducted your cause with unmis- takable skill and ability ; butif you have any- thing to say why the judgment of this court should not be pronounced, the law gives you liberty to speak fur yourself. What have you to say?”’ The negro advanced a step or two, 20 a8 to face the stand, and expressed bis thanks to ‘* Massa Wiley,” for it appears he had often seen and beard of the Judge, and it was quite natural that he should so addresshim. Said he: ‘ Massa Wiley, Edinborough glad he got a chance to speak for heself, case, Macca Wiley. Ldinborough no burnee de gin. Dat nigger tell you lie when he say Edinborough burnee de gin; hegithe back whipped. Edinborough ' old nigger, he git drunk, overseer whip him, den Edinborough do bad ting, be run away Berry bad! but Edinborough no burnee de gin; he see no gin dat day. Young massa and over- seer tell truf, dey did see me dat day, but I hide in de swawp till night, and den go to the eutton house and git under de cotton to keep warm. Edinborough wanted to go back to he massa house, but he ‘feared--hestay in de cotton house. Bymeby, night come on, Edtinborough see nig- gers go to gin, and want to go dar. but be feared de overseer whip him. Negur pack cotton, negur load wagon, negur smoke pi and hab leetle fire to warm he fingers when iG get cold. Negur my long time, den when seven stars right over he head be go to quarter. All dis time Edinborough ley in de cotton house, and presently when ebery ting still, Edinborongh look towards de gin and see big light. Light get bigger. Den Edinboroug say to heself, you go put fire out—no den dey say Edinborough burnee de gin. So I stay in cotton house, and after while Edinborough hear oberseer and Mass Henry coming. Dey say ‘he here;”’ one say no, den dey say, let's look in do evtton house, aud dey fiud me ia de cotton house. Oberseer whip me for run away dat night. Den when we going to de quarter, Edinborough tiuk with heself dat if be say * Ediuborough burnee de gin,’ den do oberseer do whip—case den he bad good excuse to Massa. So I say, ‘Edinborough burnee de jin’ and den dey bring me away and lock up iD big bouse. But, Mass Wiley, Edinborough tell lie when he say Edinborough burnee de gin, case Elinborough no burnee de gin Dat in keteh fire from dem negur’s pi and dat foette fire dey leave dare. But, Mass Wiley, onpenia, = old negur ; mash die; no count. But he no burnee de gin. inborough been on the Bayou Pierre long time; but no ‘eount now for make cotton; let um die; but he no burnee de gin,” £e. The defendant continued after that manner in bis broken lingo for an hour and a half, and seemed particularly anxious to convince the court of the truth of what he said. He did not seem to hope tor anything, and seemed per- tectly unconcerned as to the event. His style was uncouth, his geaticulation impassioned and wild, and his whole appearance forbidding. He took his seat without seeming conscious of the fact that the numerous auditory bad been interested, and that a great majority of were convinced, if not of his innocence, st least that there was reasonable doubt of his guilt. The Court seemed much affected, ked the District Attorne: thine to say in reply. Th much suprise, “no, that he deemed it un- necessary, that it was, he supposed, mere for- mula to give the defendant opportunity to 8 - Then, said the Court, he has improved that opportunity. After a pause he ssid to the pris- oner, “* Kalin’ sh, you have shaken greatly my conviction of your guilt, and not for any thing laid in the motion for new trial, but from your answer at this bar to-day, I will change my ruling upon the motion; I will grant you a pew. trial freer, apd many a Attorney, The large crowd breathed heart went forth in its kindliest sympathies to meet and commune with the eberity which dictated such high-toned elemeney on the part of Wiley P.

What & tribute, too, to the humanity and charity of Wiley P.

Such is the narration as far as I can remem- ber; its truth is indubitable, as all the actors in the scene are now living with the exception of the principal. z A Memuer or rag Mississiprt Bar. CROTCHETS AND QUAVERS, In England, lately, a suit for breach of Promise of marriage was brought by a fisher- man’s beautiful daughter against a captain in the English army, fixing damages at $50,000. The love letters of the gullant captain were so numerous that they were printed for the ac- commodation of counsel, making in all a vol- ume of 198 pages. The matter was finally com- promised by the payment to the injured lady of the sum of $10,000, with the promise that the volume of letters should be burnt. _ Loud cries of distress were heard a few days since proceeding from a frame tenement on Front, below Vine street, Chicago, and several persons in the vicinity went to learn the cause of the outery. They entered the back yard, and there, in a kind of shed, found a woman beating her husband with a large stick, in which operation she must have been employed for ten or fifteen minutes. The poor wretch, black and blue from head to heels, was cower- ing upon the und and begging her for mer- cy’s sake to t him no den When the other lords of creation made their a rance, she threatened to cudgel them, too, but they remonstrated with the vi upon her treat- ment of her husband, until she consented to withhold further punishment. The miserable devil’s crime was that he had returned home without earning more than twenty-five cents altbough, as he protested, he had endeavored to earn more, but could not obtain work. His wife he said, was in the habit of beating him whenever he failed to get em loyment, but he declared he did all he could to make money and to please her. That poor Benedict, much- abused victim of matrimony, it was painful and pitiful to see so meek and uncomplaining, his eyes filled with tears and his body covered with wounds. He knows to his sorrow, his wife to be not only a strong-minded but a strong-bodied female. In Boston, last Friday evening, Mrs. Deborah &.P: a @ young married woman, who has figured in the Police Court at Roxbury, in con- nection with a young man of fascinatin ap- pearance, named Washington Urann, made an arrangement with her music teacher to visit the circus. The lady and her music teacher, whose name is J. Sulliviene, had proceeded but a short distance when they met ashing- ton Urann. Mrs. B. proposed to her musical friend that he should allow her a half hour’s interview with her lover. He consented. Urann and Mrs. B. then commenced a promen: during which they were followed by Sulli e for the space of two hours. Sulliviene then intimated to the young lady that she must re- turn home, as the hour was Betting late. She said no—she was going to spend the night with Urann. ‘The music teacher would not consent to this, and when they entered a carriage he got into it with them. After dri: ing about a little, Mr. Urann stopped the carriage in front of the Tremont House, nearly in front of the establishinent where the husband of Mrs. Bun- dy is engaged in business, and getting out, told Sulliviene that he could take the lady home. As he bad done this apparently to make a display of his power over the lady to her husband, who was near, his conduct was resented by Sulliviene, and they soon came to blows. Sulliviene knocked down Urann a couple of times, in a very scientific manner, and then they talked the matter over. They walked the strects and took something to drink together several times. Urann had nearly al- lowed himself to be persuaded to go home when the lady made her appearance in a car- riage and both Urann and Sulliviene got into it. They proceeded toward Roxbury, and in the course of their ride Urann tried the bluff game with his revolver. Lhe music teacher whipped out a revolver and both fired one shot Of course no damage was done, except to alarm the police of the Fifth Station. T parties had alighted from the carriage before they indulged in this little episode of the re- volvers. Returning from their jaunt to the lower portion of the city, it being now past one o'clock, the music teacher gave up the pursuit, on the promise of the young woman that she would return home. The carriage wag, how- ever, driven in another direction, and the hus- band of the lady, who was on the alert about this time, cau: the carriage to be followed, and employed some police officers to spot the house where the parties stopped, in Minot street, and arrest them. The arrest was effected this morning by the officers of the Third District. In an action for breach of promise of mar- riage, tried in the Court of Queen’s Bench, on Wednesday, the 17th ultimo, Ann Read, the daughter of a corn chandler, inShorediteh, was the plaintiff, and Samuel A. Wells the defend- ant. The father of the defendant, who is also acorn factor, had a counting-house within the Serer occupied by the father of the plaintiff. aying frequent visits to the father’s office, the young man was naturally invited up stairs,and 4s naturally made love to and was accepted by Miss Read. He deolared his purpose of making her his wife, and they were treated by the friends of both families as ‘‘ parties engaged.” Unfortunately, however, the couatire haawe afforded frequent opportunities to Mr. Wells, sen., also of admiring the c! 3 of Miss Read, and he, too, also became a suitor. He pointed out that bis son was “too young,’’ ‘‘was not yet established in business,’’ and used other argu- ments, but to no purpose. The plaintiff liked the young man the best, and told him of the unnatural rival that he . The de- fendant was very angry, of course, with bis father, but seemed to increase in attachment for the lady, and wrote to her a number of le'- | ters declaring his unalterable affection and his determination to make her his wife at all haz- ards, observing ‘‘won’t the old man stare when I put the ring on your finger ?”” The aged Cu- pi. in the mean time, was not idle,but pushed is suit with great energy, now attempting by aruse to get her to sign a “surrender” [why, the old Turk!'| of her engagement with hisson, and now plying her through the influence of friends. hether or not by these effurts it does notclearly appear, but the younger wooer be- gan to show some si; of drawiug back, and at last assumed such an attitude as induced the wronged fair one toseek redress.
