Six or eight weeks is now set | down as the minimom time for the trial, in | lace of ten days or a fortnight, as originally in- | ded. The witnesses for defence are not yet exhausted; and during the first three days of the present week they have been brought up suc- cessively, and subjeeted to a vi, ing” process which they will be likely to remem- ber for the rest of their limited lives.

Jobn H.Gordon, Rebecea Kilsworth and a Mrs. Skinner testitied to the character of the prisoner, Jane Willetts. The next witness placed on the stand was ex-Sherit Obadiah Clark, who was foreman ot the grand jury which had found the indictment. On the commencement of his examination he inquired of the court if it would be allowable for him to divulge the secrets of the grand jury room. This led to an argument of some length. The prose- cution claimed that when it was necessary to justice even the grand jury room mizht be in- vaded. All evidence necessary to a gonviction should be admitted. The court, previous to the recess, decided such evidence inadmissible, as it would be against public policy. The counse! for the prosecution consulted, and upon coming together again announced their intention of throwing up the case. They believed the raling of the court had shut out from them the proof, a fact which they believed necessary to sustain the indictment. They believed that the indi ment was found upon statements from proving which the ruling excluded them; and the coart had denied the evidence on which they bad denied. The case was immediately given to the jury and a verdict ot ‘ilty” was returned.
