Sherman and Updike, counsel assigned by the Court for the defence, addressed the jury. Mr, Sherman opened, and Mr. Updike closed tho argument, ‘They contended, and with puch zeal and ability, that the proof had not been sufficiently established im’order to ine volve their client—the identity of Kanouse and Cole, set forth as visiting the house of Collins on the Saturday and Saturday night in question. They also repudiated the idea of any credit being placed in th had acknowledged themselves to ha directly in contradiction. The learned coansel, Mr. Updike, concluded his Ingenuous argument by calling on the jury to acquit the prisoner, as the doubt, in his opinion, was in favor of the accused. Mr. Blake, the Attorney General, addressed the jury on the part of the State, commencing with the witnesses, in rotation, taking the substance of their evidence, and ex- plaining with much ability to the jury. the points and circumstances of the case, which, sald the learned gen- tleman, «uch cireumstanecs, disconnected, would amount to nothing, but when linked together in cne chain, make one of the strongest kinds of reliabls testimony. The gentleman then reeapitulated in substance the whole of the evidence produced, making one of the ablest and most convincing arguments on the reliability of the tes timony given on the part of the State, thereby exhibit- ing the guilt of the prisoner in unmistakeable terms, The argument, during its delivery, was in many parts nd powerful. The Chief Justice then truly eloquent charged the jury as follows: — CHIEF JUSTICE GREEN'S CHARGE TO THE JURY. Gentlemen of the Jury—In the indictment in this case, Collins, the prisoner at the bar, is charged with the breaking and entering the Phoenix Bank, Westerly, on the 15th of December, 1849, stealing therefrom some $15444, and upwards.
