The evidence for the prorecution here closed, and the Distriet Attorney referred to the 4th and Sth seo- tions of the Revised Btatut: 1d 3d subdivision of the bth section. Alro, to Ist Beck's Medical Jurispru- dence, Sop anh A here the full bench of Judges in England give their opinion on the case submited to them, as to the insanity of MeNaugton, tried for the murder of Mr. Drummond, the late Sir Robert Peel’s priv ecretary in which cpinion the Judges define the indications of insanity,and lay down that all men are to be considered sane until the coutrary is satis. factorily proved. The District Attorney also eited from the work, pages 784, 789, 704. There was no evidence offered for the defence. Mr. Mepry L Clinton then proceeded to sum up on bebalt the prisoner, whose interests be telt would suffer in his hands f1 not having had an opportunity of consulting with the umfortanate man, he having been only assigned as associate counsel on the morn. ing on which the trial commenced.

Then, as to the pecuniary condition of the prisoner, he told one of the young Ros- seaus that his money was nearly all gone. While in this state of destitution, he came to the know: ledge that the deceased bad money, and he also knew that be kept it in those two truaks. He came to the house of the deceased carefully. He did not enter it until after all the customers had left, though he had frequently before come in while per- sons were there, and was not deterred by their presence, Ae to his story, also. of saying that he had provided work for Charies, at Newark, though some three or four months bad elapsed, no one has been roduced from Newark to show that he bad bse loak- ing for work there. Another thing appears : he enter- ed that house with @ knife--a deadly weapon, which he atterwards used. It was not in this cais that the prisoner seized somethi: d--it was not something that the dat. He enters the house armed, and must have taken the knife, which be afterwards used, out of his pocket. ‘The Judge then stated the manner in which the Knife had been used, and described the nature of the wound ae detailed in the e believe that there was a premeditated design, thet is murder on the part of the prisoner. When aman strikes another with a deadly weapon liks that knite, it wouid be inferred that he intended to kill--death having ensued, the blow being giv in a deadly part. What’ could have been t prisoner's motive, is another inquiry.
