Judge Stuart. ‘THIRD \Y—THE DESKNCE. Arnit 11 —Mr. Phillips opened the ease for the defence ‘this morning in a dtief but forcible spcech, in the course of which he commented upon the vindictive spirit evinced by certain witne:ses for the prosecution, proved ‘by the fact that a subscription list had been set on foot ‘to retain counsel for the prosecution, in order t> pro- cure the conviction of Holmes. After cautioning the jury against the prejudiced accounts of this case as cir. culated in the pspers and elsewhere, the counsel gave a eketch of the whole affair, alleging that Holmes had heen struck down by two officers without being guilty of any offence; that when he stabbed Gourlay he was confused from the stunning effects of his club; that without any contzol over his own actions, he struck the blow, and that even if this were not the care, his resist- tnge, even to the death was perfectly justifiable.

A. Mr. Landy, Mrs, Malone, my wife, myself and the two po- licemen; my wife also said to the policemen, ‘ Do you want tokill him, and leave desolate ??

What would be the Sg A i i z H of a blow of that kind on a man’s mind? A.
