McFarland appearea as composed as ever and dur- ing the proceeaing buaily eugaged h mself in noting down tie names of the jurors who were called and in giving suggestinns to bls counsel as to the pro- priety of accepting or rejecting certain of those ex- amined. © A LANCE BROKEN, There was a lively ult during the afternoon be- tween the Counsel for tue defence and Judge Davis, the associate of Judge Garvin in thé prosecution, bending the examinaiion of one of the summoned Jurors, The former ciurged the latter with a aeter- mination to “iuprison” the jury during the whole trial, whereupon Judge Davis, with much warmth, demied that he had expressed any such determina- tion whatever. The vouusel reiterated his state- ment, and for a while the scene was rather a stormy one; bat Recorder ijuckvit's interference put an ena to the squabble, which was udjusted to the sausiac: tion of all parties concerued after the last juror bad boon sworn in and had taken his seat, WHAT OPINION HUSSANDS OUGHT TO HAVE Iv THRY Hava NOT. ‘One of the Jurymen examined raised quite s sen- #ation by replying ‘mn answer to the question put to him as to whether he had formed an opinion ia reference to the guiit or innocence of the prisoner, that he had foruied a very decided one, and one which he believed ought to be, if it was not, enter- tained by every husband in the land.
