Dramatic and Musical Matters. During the past week there was a steady improvement in the business of all the theatres, the Opera and the ‘equestrian exhibitions being particularly well attended. Tne Opers it the Academy closed on Wednesday, forty-seventh night, «fter a season which was in every way successful. Part of the company went to Philadel- hia, where Mr. Uliman opened the Academy on Friday, “with the “Barber” (La Grange, Labocetta, Rocco and Ar. davani), and others, with Formes went to Boston, to sing ‘in two oratorios by the Handel and Haydn Society. ‘We hear that Mr. Maretzek will close his season in Ha- ‘vana on the last day of this month, and expects to give ten nights with Roncari in this city, commencing about ‘the 12th of February. Mr. George Vandenhoff announces that he will, on this evening, deliver his ‘social satire in verse’’ called ““Com- ‘mon Sense.” It is said, by several excellent critics, to be Acapital satire on the follies of the day, and has been ‘much relished by the Bostonians and other denizens of the ‘small towns in the interior. Mr. Burton’s “‘comedy combination,” including bim- self, Mr. Charles Mathews and Mr. Brougham, has drawn ‘the best houses in town for the past cight weeks. Last woek “Twelfth Night,"’ “A Day of Reckoning,” and “Co- Jumbus,’’ were the chief attractions, The public will be glad to know that Mr. Brougham, Mr. Mathews and Mrs. L. W. Davenport have been re-engaged, and that Mr. ‘Charles Walcot, a comedian who, like good wine, needs no bush, has likewise been added to the attractions of this theatre. Tbe announcemonts for this evening include «Twelfth Night” and “Columbus.” Ai the Broadway theatre Cinderelia has made a great ‘hit, aud is particularly admired by Young America. Kis announced to be given on this afternoon and evening, with sundry new attractions, such as Mr. S. Lathrop, a famous native American jester, and Mme. Olinza, @ tight rope dancer, who makes an ascension from the stage to the gallery. These, with Mr. Van Amburgh’s animals, Mr. Eaton Stone’s equestrianism, &c., &c., make up a long and strong bill. At Wallack’s theatre Mr. Lester takes his benefit this evening, and offers new adaptation of ‘The Vicar of ‘Wakefield,’ with Mr. Brougham’s pretty little comedy, “+A Decided Case.” He should have a bumper house. At Laura Keene’s theatre “The Lighthouse’? has achieved a moderate success. It is not, however, oither a3 6 literary or dramatic work, equal to what the pub- ic has a right to expect from Mr. Wilkie Collins. It is to be acted this evening, with “The Muleteer of Toledo,” a capital play, and “ The Spectre Bridegroom.” At Nibio’s Garden Rice's “Great Show” attracts a great deal of public attention. The horse Excelsior is particu- larly admired. There are several novelties in the bills for this evening. At Barnum’s Museum the ‘Pioneer Patriot,” a new revolutionary drama, has had a marked success, and it will be repeated this evening. At the Bowery theatre the revival of ‘Herne the Hunter’ will attract this evening the admirers of the equestrian drama. ‘Paul Pry’ and the “ King of Clubs’* will be played with it. ‘The Colored Opera puts forth good bills for to-night. At “Wood's, George Christy and Holland give a new version of the Toodles; Bryant has his burlesque “ Great Show,” and the Buckleys, a burlesque on the same subject. ParapkuruiA.—Mr. Ulman commenced his season on Friday, and the Ledger says:— The Opera House last evening presented a brilliant ap- pearance. The parquet aud parquet circie were filled, the reater portion of tbe audience being ladies, elegantly at- tired. The balcony had a goodiy number, and the two upper tiers were better Olied than we have ever seen them since the opening night. The opera passed off charmingly. La Grange was im excelient voice, and sang, ag usual, with grace and skilfal execution. Labocetta has a voice exquisitely sweet, but oot the power of Brignoli. He ie well trained, and gives the music with effect. Gas. sier, aa Figaro, was very good, and Rocco made au excel- lent Bartolo. To-nighs, the opera of “Semiramis” will be given, whea D'Angri will appear in opera for the first time in this city. A great desire is manifested to hear her, nod the house will, vo doubt, be well crowded. “Rigoletto” is announced for Monday, Wasuincton.—The performances at this graceful little theatre, recently constructed by Messrs. Stuart & Bourci- cault, bave been most attractive during the past week, and bave drawn fashionable and crowded houses. The fairy star, Miss Agnes Robertson, has appeared for the first time io ten months, having during that period contributed a Lively little addition to Young America. Though some of the feebieness of her recent illness still lingers around her, she bas lost none of that artless grace and sweet vivacity which constitute her great charm. A# yet she has ap- peared in no new character—her personations being con- ‘Gued to her old repertoire of the “Young Actress,”’ “Mil- ly,’ “Violette,”’ “Bob Nettles,’’ &c.; but we are informe abe is to appear in & new two act comedy and a new vaude ville during the course of ber ——— The company i« unusually strong for the rural districts, com Sosars.

However, we make the following extract:—In the general construction of the work Mr. Southard, ag might naturally be expected, has followed Italian models, though from the samples presented last evening we can cheerfully attest to bis being no actual copyist. He has rather (ncorporated the spirit of Italian song into his airs than its for:nal and conventional pbrasings, steering clear Of the ruts, but being guided by the easy flow and grace- ful direction of its melody. There are apparent no ec- centricities of style and meaning to bewilder and tanta- lize, and no striving afver impossibilities for effect; and {€ one cau discover nothing decidedly original or now, there is a certain freshness and independence of mu- siwal reasoning pervading that eulists the attention and carries the interest of the listener forward to an ingenious if not always satiefactory solution of the harmony. The cavatinas that were selected last evening were the less striking in their inventive elements and intrinsic beauty, and fell somewhat short of expectation, but a quartette, “Ala di Stolto Giubtlo,” and especially a quintette and chorus (the finale of the second act), might challenge many @ modern composition of its class, for anything bearin; more indyvicuality of character and so theroughly ch: with rich thought and dramatic interest—their digni harmouy, vivid climaxes of unison and consummate mu- gical structure determining at once their high rank among » On the whole, these illus. © unquestioned promise of the completeness and beauty of its ensemble, and we (rust that in some of the fitful seasons of Italian Opera with which we may bereafter be favored, a fair chance may ‘be given it by the side of effete “Normas,” “Trovatores’’ and “Lacias.”” “Effete Trovatores”’ is good.

PARRULE, NEW YORK HERAL Police ABREST OF AGEOCER, CHARGED WITH SETTING HIS STOKE ON FIRE—A REMARKABLE AFFAIR. Bhortly after 12 o’clock on Saturday night, the alarm of fire was given for the Seventh district, caused by « fire being discovered in the grocery and liquor store kept by John McDade, at No, 6¥ James street. The carly action of the firemen prevented the dames from spreading beyond the store, wherein it was evident the fire originated. The neighbors occupying a rear building at once suspected MeDade of wilfully firing the store, and 60 expressed themselves. Officer Bent, of the Fourth precinct, took him into custody and conveyed him to the atation house: Fire Marshal Baker was very early at the store’ and forthwith entered mto an investigation. The evidence elicited at present seems to point very suspiciously at the accused. On last Thuraday night it appears that McDade left the store by the back room door, which leads into the hall of the dwelling, leav! his brother Philip, a boy of about seventeen years, anc Coda, in the back @ man named James room, where they , were tosieep. Coda want to get adrink before to bed, accompanied by the boy, went into the store, to their surprise they for @ small piece of candle lighted stuck between two Int casks behind the counter, On the freme which su the casks, di- rectly ubder the piece of candle, was @ quantity of loose paper and matches. Over the light an old paint pot was Placed so as to deaden the glareaf the candle. 5 without tor the candle blew out the light, By this time the frame on which the candle was sticking began to char. After blowing out the light, they left the candle just as Shar foun it, also the pot over it. Coda at once Suspected McDade had placed the candle in this spot for the the store, and they both became alarmed, went tw his lodging house, in the rear, and the boy accompanied him. Farly the following morn- ing this preparation was exhibited to several other per- sons, unknown to McDade. On Friday night the boy was afraid to ¢l in the room back of the slore, and slept with On Saturday, it seems, the candle and paint pot were still there. No ono, up to this timo, had said a word to McDade about discovering the candle; and it is supposed that McDade believed the candle went out of its own accord. ©n Saturday night McDade closed the store somewhat earlier than usual, directing the boy to barricade the street door with seve- ral heavy barrels. The boy was then directed to go into thoyard and close the back window shuiters—a thing never known before. The boy left the store for that pur- pose. At this time McDade was behind tho liquor coun- ter. The boy closed the back sbutters, avd oo his return tothe back room, McDade had put out the gag in the store, and had locked the door leading from the bedroom to the store, and was just putting the key in the hail door. The ‘was toid to blow out the lignt in the bed- room, and immediately McUade locked the doar and they both left the premises by the private entrance, It was then after 12 o'clock. ey walked together to the ber ss South street and regres slip. * a it ates fave the boy money to cross the ferry, and tol im to go we. McDade, it seems, resides in Brooklyn. The boy says he went to Brooklyn es directed. In about fifteen or twenty minutes after McDade had left the store the fire broke out, and we are informed by the Fire Marshal that the burning indicates its origin by the standing casks, where the candle preparation is alleged to have been de: posited. It further appears that McDade was in embar- Taased circumstances , doing but little business, and having but little stock. He also owed some three months rent. He had an insurance on his stock and fixtures for $1,250 in the Excelsior Insurance Company. The owner of the house, Mr. John Knowles, an aged person, wag at the time sick in bed. He occupied aoartments on the second floor, and it was with considerable difficulty that the old gentleman was got down stairs without suffo- cation. The families occupying the upper stories were algo placed in great danger of their lives. The fire burt with great fury for a short time, supposed to be caused by the distribution of liquor about the store. The damage done t> the building will amount to about $500; the loss 13 covered by an ineurance of $3,000 in the Bowery Insu- rance Company. On Sunday morning, the Fire rabal ordered the arrest of the boy Phillip, as it seems he will occupy the position of an important witness on the part of the prosecution, The accused was couveyed before Justice Osborne, who committed him to await the investigation. AxoTneR BcrGtany.—The basement of the premises No, 82 Nassau street was burglariously entered on Satur- day night and an attempt made to carry off a largo quantity of valuable property. Policeman Tracy, of the Second ward, happened to be jing at the time and succeeded in feimnpeny So puraiors. The prisoners, who gave their names as r Widican and John Currier, were taken before Justice Osborne, at the Lower Polive Court, where they were comm! for ion.

Forrester was captured soon after- ward, but Flynn succeeded in cluding the vigilauce of the police until Saturday, when he was rearrested. The pri- soner had just returned from Boston, where he has been concealed ever since the night of bis escape from prison. In the possession of the accused was found a bank book on a Providence savisgs bank, No. 10,978, for which aa owner is wanted, Justice Kelly committed the prisouer for trial. Caarcen wire Seuxo Onscrxe Lireratene.—Frederick Beady, proprietor of a bookstore in Ann, near Naseaa street, was taken into custody on a warrant issued by Re- corder Barnard, charging him with having been a vender of obscene literatore. A large number of books, after the style of Paul de Kock and other disreputable writers, were se@ed by the police and deposited safe keep with the Rev. Mr. Warren, the police property clerk at the General Superintendent's office. The Recorder decided to hold Beady to bail in the sum of $5,000, in default of which be was committed to the Tombs. Coroners’ Inquests, A SINGULAR CASE—SUPPOSKD ACCIDENT. In yesterday's HeKALp we alluded to the finding of the body of an vuknown map at the corner of First avenue and Third street, by the Seventeenth precinct police, un der circumstances which led to the supposition that death: had been caused by a fall received while intoxicated. Since then Coroner Connery has commenced an investiga tion, which tends (0 throw some additional light upon the matter, but no positive conclusion can yet be arrived at. Ifan accident, the case is a very singular one. Dr, Mott, who was called to the station house soon after the disco- very of the body, upon examining the corpee found four ‘wounds on the lips of the deceased and one inside of the mouth, penetrating the palate. The physician then pro- ceeded to the corner of First avenue and Third street, where be found a large pool of blood upon the sidewalk, He traced the blood wo the corner of street. ant upoa examiying the railings in frout of the premises there situated, he found marks of blood apen one of the iron spikes. The conclusion arrived at by Dr. Mott was that deceased, while under the influence of liquor, fell upon the spikes of the railing in question and received the in- juries ae above described. When di-covered °y the po- lice deceased was found lying on his back, with his and throat completely Slied with blood. The probability js that he was suffocated by the large quantity of blood found lodged in his throat. A large number of persons visited the Seventeenth precinct station house for the pur- pose of identifying the body of deceased. The evidence, as adduced before the Coroner, is as follows — John Ferguson, M. D., test:fied that he had made a post Mortem examination ‘of the body, he found the apper lip split in three places; the tongue was lacerated in several |, and an extensive fraciore of the upper jaw in the direetion of tie ay he stomach was heaithy and free from blood ; the heart snd abdominal viscera were healthy; there were no marks on the body except thoce mentioned above, which were the cause of death. Peter Siabey testitied as follows:—I reside at No. 116 Delancey treet; 1 think the name of deceased is John Geo. Lavg, think he bas a wife in Germany, and that he form- oriy resided in Williamsburg; Lang used to go around with bread; | am nT raga that this is him; the mous tache, goatee and clothing are similar, but deceased does pot appear to be so old George ©.

Jan, 23.—This being the last day of the January term of this court, the morning was devoted to passing sen- tence upon the prisoners convicted during the month, who were remanded for various considerations, City Judge Russell and Recorder Barnard were both present, 4nd Mayor Tiemann occupied a seat on the bench. The Court room was crowded to its utmost extent, and tho Proceedings were listened to with great attention. John D. Medex an elderly. and apparent . K, an ly apparently a very re- spectable man, who was convicted of an extensive lar- ceny on Wed: ) Was the first prisoner the bar for sentence. He stole twenty-three and thirty-seven wood fans, in] end consigned to E.L. Hedden, 73 Property was worth $600, Medex wore a large overcoat, which had deep and wide inside pockets, which enabled him to dispose of the goods without detection. Mr. Hed- den having missed some goods, caused a watch to be put on the prisoner, who was arrested by a detective as be ‘Was loitering suspiciousty around Mr. Hedden's office door. The house of the accused was searched, and a por- Uon of the property found. Medex said he was a tooth powder manufacturer, and solemnly affirmed that he was innocent of the charge. He is kuown to the authorities, having already served a term of imprison- ‘ment in the State prison and the poniventiary at Black- well’s Island, Judge Russell sentenced him to the fuil extent of the law, which was imprisonment in the Sing Sing prison for four years and nine montbs. NOTORIOUS BURGLARS. Jobn Halland Heury Meyer, who were indicted for the grave offence of burglary in the first degree, and pleaded guilty to the second je of that crime, were then called up. ) have also been incarcerated in the State irsig before. Hall served out aterm under the name of itz, while Meyer went under tho assumed name of Venbeimer. As Hall is in a very delicate site of health at the present time his Honor was a litt!e more morciful © him than be would otherwise be, sending him to the State for three years and nine months, while his confederate (Meyer) was sent to the same stitution for four years aud nine months. THE PANEL GAME. John Spence, a dashing, intelligent looking youth, con- vieted of | larceny, was sentto Sing Sing for four Yearsand pine months, the extreme penalty which tho statute prescribed. {t will be remembered tha: the cele- brated Moll Hodges, keeper of a panel gime establish. ment int Hudson street, was jointly indicted with him and convicted last tepm, and is pow un- pes her sentence on the beautiful banks of the Hudson. A Mr. Lawrence Reilly was met by a fascinating girl, of thirteen summers, while of refreshment at Taylor’s saloon, and decoyed into the houre of Moll Hodges, and while there $: was ab- stracted from his pocket by meana of the panel game. It was proven on the trial that Moll Hodges was the proprie- treas of the establishment, and Spence acted as master of ceremonies. Maggie Holcen, the decoy, is im prison, and Will be tried at the next term of the court. A FELONIOUS ASSAULT. Edward McCormick, a youth who was convicted oa Friday of an assault with intent to kill Christian Hilk- meyer, im Greenwich street, last Suuday, was seatenced to two years confinement in the State prison, it being his fir® offence and the evidence rather contradictory. James Rourke, who was convicted of assaulting a po- lice officer, was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in the city prison and fined $25. The prisoner showed that bis character was very good, snd that he was intoxicated at the tine he committed the offence. A FEMALE PICKPOCKRT. Recorder Barnard sentenced a wowan named Lucy Waggoner to two years confinement in the State prison. She picked a country woman’s pocket andrelieved her of $81. Lucy, on being sentenced, made a great time in court, and @ baby which she held in ber arms contributed to the entertainment. CLOSE OF arr at rolls of eatin from China RAPE. David Haale, a epicy representative of the colored race, ‘who was indicted for rape on Bridget Hayes, an innocent — Irish girl, very wisely pleaded guilty to an assault with | intent to commit that offence. The Recorder expressed the opinion that if he had been tried the evidence would have been sufficient to convict him of the principal charge. His Hover sent him to the Penitentiary for six mouths. aud ordered him to pay a fine of $26 and stand committed until the dne was peid. ELECTION BIOTERS. Hugh McMahon, Joon Snedden, Patrick Foley, John Cumskey, Vatrick Greman, l’atrick Coleman and Michael Cannon, Who pleaded guilty to engaging ina riot in the Twenty'eecotd ward on the 1ith of November, were each sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in city prison by the Recorder.” Thomas Adie and Patrick Honeyman, re with the above defendants, were each LIEUTENANT MARMADUKE REEVES AGAIN.

McAipive, alins Lieuteaant Colonel Marmaduke Reeves, moved for bis discharge from cus tody, stating that he bad been is prison for the last ten montbs, and that the late District Attorney had no hope of convicting hita of the charge of false pretences preferred against bis client. The Assistant District Attorney replied by saying that he would bave tried Mecalpine this term were it not for the fact that the accused desired to have tho trial post- poved. The Courtdenied the motion. THE GRAND JURY DISCHARGED. At this juncture the Grand Jury came into court, and handed a number of indictments to the Clerk. The fore- man étated that they bad finished ali the business brought before them, and wished to be discharged. Judge Rustell addressed them as follows:— Gentlemen cf the Grand Inquest—It gives ine pleasure to state that during the present term you have trans acted an immense ammount of business—more basiners than any grand jury within the last year. For your | promptness and attention to your duties you have the thanks of the Court, and are discharged from further at- tendance. ‘Un inquiring as to the result of their Iabors, our tor learned that during the session the Graod Jury found 114 indictments and disrnissed 18 complainants, making « total of 182 cases. ‘The number of crimnals disposed of during the term which has Jost closed is unprecedently largo—a fact which is to be attributed to the prompt action and untiring devo- tion of the Cy Judge, who bas often sat to a late hour in the evening to finish up the day's calendar of cases. It is proper to say that his efforts have been ably seconded by the Assistant District Attorney and Recorder Tarnard, who will preside next month, He has ocoupied the beueh for two days of the prevent term, and by bie impartial and clear charges to the jury, created the universal impres- tion that he will dixcharge bis duties with creuit to him- self, and will secure the confidence and rerpect of the citizens of New York.

COURT OF APPEALS, ALBANY. Michael Cancemi, plaintiff, in error, vs. The People, de Fendants, in error.—The following is the opinion of the Court, delivered by Judge Strong, in granting a mew trial to Cancemi:— By the Court—Strong, Justice. —It is stated in the bill of exceptions brought up to this Court by the writ of error, that Alexander Kylo, one of the jurors sworn, and who Sat as such upon tho trial of the indictment,on being called as @ juror was challenged for principal sause, and, being examined under oath, testified on his direct exami- bation that he had formed an opinion and expressed it, and on his cross-examination that he bad no xed opinion—none which could not be removed by the evidence, The Court thereupon overruled the challenge, ‘on the ground that it did not appear that the juror had a fixed and absolute opinion; ant the defendant excepted, A criticiam was ngeeein on the argument by the coun- sel for the people that it was uncertain whether the opi- ion spoken of related to the question of the defondant’s uill ip respect to the charge in the indictment; but, al- though not so expressed in direct terms, it i3 manifest that it did so, aud so was understood at the trial, The de- fendant was to be tried on that charge; the indifference of the juror between the people and the defendant waa the powt of inquiry on the challenge; his opinion affecting this indifference ‘only could be inquired of; and he spoke of an opinion which might be changed by’ the evi sence on the trial; from whieh itis apparent that he re- ferred to an opinion on the main issue; and a like under. standing by the Court appears from the reason given for its decision on the challenge, that the proof did not, i the View of the Court, sow that the opizion was a fixed and absolute ore; not that if the opinion bad been proved to be of that character it would not have been a disqualifica- tion, ‘The testimony of the juror on the challenge dows not | Coffin, E 5 Sherman, A T Stoddard, Mr Archibald, T J Brown, clearly disclose the precise state of his mind in relation to the case, but,ou the contrary, it is ambiguous and susceptible of different constructions. That portion of it elicited on bis direct examination, that he had formed and expresced an opinion, standing alone, would have calied for his rejection, The residue, grvea ob his cross-examina- tion, that he had no fixed opinion, none whieh could not be remeved by the evidence, may be interpreted as qua- lifyipg the previous statement, and to mean that he had obly & hypothetical impression not affecting his indiffer- ence a8 @ juror, It may, onthe other hand, be iuter. preted to import that the’ opinion which he bad formed | of the match manufactory, No. 28 Cherry street, owned and expressed was not 60 fixed that it might not be 80 | by J. Connolly, The flamea were soon extinguished —da controlled by the evidence, regarding the latter branch of | mage about $10; insured. Tho tire was occasioned by two the expression a3 explaining and detining what the juror intended by saying that be bad no fixed opiaion; in which view the ordinary force of his testimony, that he had formed and expressed an opinion in Ny ‘case, would not be inpsired. This testimony should with liberality to the defendant, in the hamane spirit which pervades our criminal laws andthe rules of their administration, The right, secured by law, to @ fair and impartial jury, with mids opea to re- ceive and weigh ‘the evidence and balanced in regard to the matters te be tried, is of the highest im portance, and should be caretully guarded by the courts, especially so in cases involving human life. In our opinion the latter interpretation above stated should pro- vail, and upon that construction the juror was clearly dis- qualised. His mind was preoccupied with an opinion upon the issue to be tried, which it would require evi dence to remove, and that, upon principle aod by all the cases, inoapacitated him ‘for a juror, The testimony of the juror in the challenge to bm for favor, which was subsequentiy lakeu, cannot be considered upon the ques- tion whether the challenge for principal cause was proper: ly decided. The trial of the latter challenge was for the Court alone, aud it was to be decided upon the evidence taken by the Court on that challenge only. The testimony | Apostles Orsoa Hyde and John Taylor, &c. vpon the challenge for favor was addressed to the triers appcinted to try that challenge, to whow alone it belonged to pats upon it and decide the challeuge. Much less can the findwg of the triers ow the challenge for favor, that the juror was indifferent, cure the error in the decision of the challenge for principal cause. Avother question in the case arises upon the charge of the jury tn relation to the evidence given by the defexdant of | Nefeats the Enemy, &c. his previous good character. A large number of wit- beeses bad testified to the geueral good character of the Cefendant for peace and quietness, honesty and industry, end shat it bad been unexceptionable from his youth up- wards. In respect to this evidence, aud in connection with many just observations as to the importaace and effect of proof of good character by a defendant in crimi- nal cases, the Justice stated to the jury that when the question Was one of great and atrocious ‘crimina'ity,, evi- dence of good character and of a man’s babitual conauct, under common circemstances, must be considered far in- fericr to whatitis in tetances of accusations of a lower grade; but still,even with regard to the higher crimes, testimony of good character, bh of less avail, was competent. A similar distinction as to the weight due to such evidence between charges of high crimes and charges of crimes of the lower grades, was taken and pre sented to the jury in the case of The Commonwealth vs. Webster (6 Cushing, 324), which was a very peculiar cage, in which evidences of character may have been en- titled to but little consideration; but f do not find the doctrine adyanced in any other case, The princi- ple upon which good character may be proved is, tt affords a presumption against the commission 0¢ crime. ‘This prosumption arises from the improbability, as a general rule—as proved by common observation and ox. — 4 person who bas uniformly pursued an and upright course of conduct, will from it and do an act 80 inconsistent with it. Such a person may be overcome with temptation and fall into crime, and cases of that kind often occur, but they are por the general rule is otherwise. - ption from character will to the varying circumstances of different cases.

I can readily see that in cases of evidently perpetrated with but little if any forethought, under the wfiaence of some sudden and powerful mouve, such proof will be comparatively weak, but it will be so in reference to any other crime with similar ciroum- ‘The attending circumstances must, | think, de of toree which evidence of good cha r it ia not in ordinary cases aifected by the grade of the olfence, Formerly such evidence was admissible in capital eas nly but now it will be receiv. ily 0 ed in criminal cases (1 MeNally’s y 920, 323; 2 Mina.
