The evidence given,; so far as it concerned the prrso:xr,ho held to-be rather in his favour than other wise. . The Coroner said the only duty which the jury had to perform was to enquire'into the cause of death, and he cited the Bravo ease in Hug- laud r.s an instance of a jury having a protracted silting before they could eonio to a conclusion'. Mr. Matheson reminded tho Cor oner that there were no persons kept in custody during that enquiry. He also pointed oat that two other persons, Shirkey and John White side, had been released in'conequence of there being no evidence ag'ainst them, and asked that the coroner should do the Same for Henry, the prisoner." The Coroner stated that, the jury would have to judge whether tlrere was evidence or not against the prisoner. Mr. Matheson again alluded to the unwarrantable delay, and sug gested, that' if the coroner |md the jury had a private conferenlce they might come to a conclusion'similar to that to which the uiagis*rates ar rived in.the former cases..
