The court room yesterday, luting the progress of the case was crowded; mach in- ‘was manifested in the result of the trial, and once Pr twice during the samming up for the prosecution by Mr. Gunning S. Bedford, Jr., there was an attempt at ppplause by the spectators, Mr. Gunning 8, Beford, jun., Assistant District Attor- wey, tn summing up for the people remarked as fol- Jows:—Tho counsel was pleased to say that, in my open- Ang of this case, I had been severe on the defendant; and the characterized my remarks as unusual and harsh. Let sme say to him, in the language of the noble Themiatocles, *-Btrike, but hear; and, if I am not greally deceived, verdict which you, gentlemen of the jury, will render sill not only demonstrate that although the “sheet of oe paper” to which the gentleman alluded ‘& proper ilustration of what your minds should be in tho trial of this and ail yer I yannot porceive that it bears at ah upon Bhe defendant, whose life, it seoms to me, has been the very opposite ey: The connsel has spoken of amy inoxperience. This, I think, ig no fault of mino I have endeavored since my appointment to office to per- form my duty with zeal and Udolity, and if I could boast ef the oxperience of the learned ex- ler, now mounting, I suppose, almost to three score years, it gould, indeed, be the great regret of my life to have bondaucted this case us the goutleman has done, I think there can be no do bt, from the course he has pursued, Bhat ho has rather weakenod than fortified the already ‘Sottering condition of his client, So far as his allusions to myself aro concerned 1 assur) Thm that his flings aro wer} moch like the dart of Priam—although Youded with venom they fall short of the mark. You perceive that there hes been a heavy array of sounoil against me, but I wish you to remember, that it fa a sound maxim In physical science, that big bodies amove slowly; and, gevtlemen, is not that maxim amply Mevoloped before ‘us? And, ‘now, to our case, Zeno Bu ia on trial, n is one of iniquity— it yes, thrives and pro ption; and like all uporstraciures whic! no substancial Toundation, it ‘must fall, and in this ¢ ts fall will be one of uiter annihilation to th . whose whole public !ifo, as a mock auctioneer, on one of constant imposture. Mr, Bedford here it ony at Jength, andargued t vidence clearly Justi@ed a con viction and urged for a verdict to that offect. In ing to tho witne for the defence, the es And, goutiomen, among the witnesses introd iced by the risoner was lis aged and feeble mother, and tho old lady was compotied to swear that sho lived in tho houso 44 West Sixicenth stro t; that she attended the sales with her bonnet on, and sometimes did, ‘Ths, gentle- amon, 1 tho last link in the chain of this wretchod, de- fod iniamy, to bring his aged and infirm ‘mother hers to susiain hita in his iniquity, and to prove that is in sho ts k pt the ‘house as a done.

If they wore catiatied on the evidence that the prisoner had commitied the offnce of which be was accused, they whould return a conviction—and a conviction in such a @od upon clear evidenoe, he said, would hav effect in deterring others from the commission of each crimes.
