Balloch: “Rub- ert Burns, the poet of humanity. Scotland claims bim as her son; the world as its benefac- tor.” This was responded to by Mr. Cox, who gave “The gentler anf nobler sex—Lord biess them.” A real old Scotch reel was next danc after which Mr. William Todd sang ‘‘My Nan- nie’eawa.” Dancing, toasts, songs, an tions followed each ether in quick su: Mr. Kothwell recited in character, “Souter Jobnny,” from Burns’ famous poem of «Tam O'Shanter.” Mr. Clinton Lieyd recited the “+Bapteesement o’ the Bairn;” Miss Kate Wood 6 @ mile of Edinbero’ town;” Miss E i’ a hundred pipers;” .

Mr. Clark opened the argument, claiming that the evidence did not warrant the verdict; that it was impossible for the accused, drunk as he was, to have committed the offence charged: and he read from several works in support of this theory. Mr. Browne read the reasons filed, but with- drew that one reciting that they had newly- discovered evidence, with the affidavits referred te. He read from an act of Con, that no urorshallserve more than once in two years. ‘be Court held that the law did not apily to this case, He read from Hilliard on New Trials, page 201, that » juror aseenting to a verdict on co dition that the governor would pardon the | sccused was a sufficient ground for a new trial. Mr. Browne argued that the juror who re- fused to agree to a verdict of guilty until a peti- tion was incompetent. Assistant District Attorney Harrington de- Clined to argue the case.

If the deceased had been younger, and death resulted trom the com: sion of the crime, it would bardly justify such a verdict as had’ been rendered. Ho thought the rule he had laid down the correct one. As to the point that twoof the jurors were incompetent, because they had served as su. within two years under theact of Jung, ; he held the act was applicable to the Cir” cuit and District Courts of the United States, and not to this court. As to one of the jurors speaking to one of the counsel, he said if it should be held that the speaking to a person noton the jury would in- Validate a verdict, such a thing might be dons m every case. As to the signing of petition for commutation, the jurors had the right to do so; and he could see Hothing in the conduct of the jury in this Tespect to charge them with. Mr. Clark remarked that he had not perceived the evidence on which the verdict was founded. Judge Wylie brietly recited the evidence, al- luding to the testimony of a witness who had testitied to seeing a German leaving the house, saying that his evidence was not believed, and he Nags egret on | did not believe it. Mr. Clark remarked that there was no proof that the wounds caused the death. The judge recited the medical testimony brief- ly, saying it was satisfactory and conclusive on that potnt. How counsel could feel that thi« party was innocent was one of the curiosities of the profession. He could not see that he had made any errorsot law, and would overrule the motion. Mr. Clark asked for a suspension of senter.ce until he could file exceptions. Judge Wylie said that to allow him to file ex- ceptions was more he was entitied to, but he would allow him to do so. ——— oe The New Goverument for the District. WHO ARE OPPOSING IT?

The bill did not grant any additional rights, in his opinion and he objected to the bill also because it did not’ provide for the people ralers of their own choice. Mr. A. M.
