Fifth Day. y <a: f Moxpay, Sept. 7, 1868.. Before the hour appointed, nine o‘clock» for the npening of the Court, quite a number of people had gathered in the neighbourhood ; but to prevent overcrowding it had been wiseâ€" ly arranged by the Sherif that admission should be gained only by ticket, so that througbout the day, though the Court House was well filled, there was nothinz like & jam at any one time: â€"_ < It was observable, however, that from the pigâ€"headedness of the police officers detailed to carry out the bheriffs instrections, much unnecessary annoyance, and no little amount of inconvenience, was suffered. Asan instance it may be mentioned that a little before noon, when one of the staff ot this journal was comâ€" ing out, he heard an nltqrcution at the Court House door. A respectable man, carrying a letter for the Sherif#f, was vainly endeavoring to gain admittance for its delivery, the envelope being endorsed that the messenger awaited an answer. The ccrberus at the door not on‘!y refused admittance, but indignantly returned the letter, saying that he was not going "to be a letterâ€"carrier‘ (important man !) when a party inside kindly offered to carry it up stairs. On the letter being delivered to the Sheriff, and the state of the case explained, the Sheriff having no more tickets ot admission by hbim, ordered <that the (messenger be admitted into court. ‘This, however, the conâ€" sequential " pecler" refused, and our own afâ€" tairs requiring attention, there was no further ‘tims for us to assist in solving the Fdifiicult‘y. The Crown prosecutor was also, we bel annoyed by the refusal of admission to pn:p requiring to see him. By the exercise of a little commonâ€"civility and common sense on the part orun?.:epm difficulties might very easity be a especially as the Court House is far toc »ncomfortable to tempt many gorph to stay in it longer than can well ?Apt. about halfâ€"past nine y‘elock the Hou. Chiefâ€"Justice Richards«, éed by the Sheriff, yntered the cour: room, and the crier thereafter opâ€"ned the court in dae form. Around the bar were seated James O‘Reilly, Esq., Q.C., who appeared for the Crown ; the Hon. J. H Cameron, Q.C., Hon. M. C. Camâ€" eron, Q C., Kenneth McKenzie, Esq., Q. C., prisoner‘s Counsel, with whom were ussociated P J. Buckley, Esq., Burrister of this city, and, unofficially but most actively, and no doubt efficiently, John O‘Farre!, Esq., of the Quebec Bar. There were also present the Hon. Col. Gray, M. P., His Worship the Mayor, His Honor Judge Armstrong, His Honor the Police Magisâ€" trate, J. M. Ourrier, Eeq., M. P., R. W. Scott, Eeq., M. P P., Robt. Lyon, E#q., M. P. P., and a large number of the members of the Ottawa later in the day the Hon. Mr. Mitchell, with many leading citizens, and others of note who evinced a deep interest in the procâ€"edings, the Court Rouse being as we have said quite com â€" fortably filled, but not cro@ded. l o bar; besides Major Alexander, Col. Coffin, and The Clerk ot the Court called over the paneF of petit jurors, almost every one of whom answered to their names. _: At the instance of Mr. O‘Reilly, the Crown witnesses wore then called, and due process entered for the production of a few absentees. The prisoner, â€" Patrick James Whelan, was brought into Court, as <on the occasion of his arraignment, in charge of Detective ONeill and four policeâ€" men, preceded ‘by the Governor of the gaol and the Deputyâ€"Sheriff, and secured as before D@" SEE LOURTH PAGE. with " the nippers" on his wrists, Whelan walked with a jaunty step across the yard of the Court House and up the steps, coming into Court with a countenance somewhat paler than before, but otherwise unchanged. He wore an itrreproachable, well brushed black silk hat, black frock coat, white rest with narrow gold chain aud ‘black pants.. His‘" get up * was quite nesat and jaunty, and < he did not show more of the nervous restléssness than has heretofore characterised him, He watched the proceedings with great apparent interest, but very little change of countenance, though when one of the jurors was charged by his Counsel with haviog said that if on the jury "he would hang him," be certainly did give the juror in question one of his sternest looks. On the Clerk calling upon the prisoner to stand up, be nlpoo‘:s, «Yes sir," and being asked by the same functionary was he ready for.trial, he responded, after a moment‘s pause, «lam sir." Atthis time, as generally throughâ€" Summoning the Juryeâ€"Interesting Points I in Procedure, &¢. On the Clerk‘s‘proceeding to empanel ‘the ja %’ou. J. H. Cameron addressed the court, and said he wished the full jury to be sumâ€" moncd to the box before any challenge would be made, and that the prisoner have the right of challenge on each juror‘s being preseutâ€"d with the took to be sworn. } The Coursâ€"What have you to say to that, Mr. O‘Reilly ? Mr. U‘Reillyâ€"â€"1 think this is quite an unâ€" usual course, in our courts, your Lordship, and I would ask the learned Counsâ€"1 if lie has any authority to cite in its favor ? Camerun, J. H.â€"This is the correct course, and I desire the point to be brought b«fore the court, . He then . cited his authority. O‘keillyâ€"The panel as already been callâ€" THE FALL ASSIZES. jurors are all present in court, but my object is to have the full jury in the box, beâ€" fore being called upon to exercise the prisoner‘s right of challenge. ‘The Court read ttie authority, shewing that this coursâ€" had been followed in the English couris, and explained at the same time that such had not been genâ€"rally followed in this country, challenge being usually made when the juror was called. > O‘Reillyâ€"Of course, if this rule is adopted the Crown will have the sameâ€"right as the defeace. . ; Cameron, J. H.â€"Of course. ‘The clerk proceeded to call the jurors, when the following answer«d to their names, and took therir sests in the bux : Alâ€"xander Hu«â€" ton, William Boucher, Ricbhard Smith, Rob <rt Smith, Thomas Morland, Laurie Alexander, Robert Little, John®ndpa; Richard Kempt, anod William Purdg. On‘proceeding to administer the oath to this panel, the following jurors were peremptorily challenged by the defence, viz. : : A. Huston, Boucher, Alexauder, Little, Kempt and Hugh Hustonâ€"6. ~ . By the Crown "th:‘:'ouo;ing were ordered to " stand : Potter, Richard and Robert Bum-nd Fudpa â€"5 ; and William Purdy was duly sworn.

Â¥"* By the l__'Croun, Weathers and Hairtin ; and Matthew Heron was duly sworn. . Cameron, J. H., had no authority, but wishâ€" ~ed to obtain the ruling of the Court, and thereâ€" fore challenged Mr. Sparks for cause. ,, The Courtâ€"For what cause, Mr. Cameron ? __ Cameron, J. H.â€"That the juryman in quesâ€" tion is not indifferent. He has said that if on "the jury he would hang the prisoner. # There were still five jurors lacking to comâ€" plcte the panel, and the following jurymen were called, viz.: Charles Brunette, Patrick Manyon, Jonathan Sparks, Wm. Gamble, Patrick Baxterâ€"5. Cameron, J. H., claimed that though the defence bhad not cxhausted its right of perâ€" emptory challenge, it dâ€"sired to test the point whether, at the option of the prisoner, he could not. challenge for cause. He therefore desired to chalienge Jonathan Sparks for cause. The Crown set aside Brunette, Manyon and Baxterâ€"3.

Cameron, J. H., intimated that if the priâ€" soner‘s right to p:remptorily challenge twenty were exhausted, he would take the opportuâ€" nity of bringing the point up again. The Judge explained to Mr. Sparks on his lsaving the box, that at that stage of the proâ€" ceeding there was no need of his saying anyâ€" thing, because the ruling of the court had been on the broad prineiple of law, 1egulatâ€" ing the rights of the prisoner, and not on the question of the truth of falsshood of the statements said to bave been made by him. | Mr. Sparks then stepped aside, as chalâ€" lenged by defence, and William Gamble was duly sworn. t 2 3 The next attenipt was no more successfal, ons jurblr having been called by a wrong uame, (Glenning instead of Glenny) wes toid by the Court that he need not answâ€"r, and the followâ€" ing, viz., William Wilson (Fitzroy), Willi m Croskery, James Gilchbrist, and James Wautt, (4), were challenged by the def:nce.

At the present stage bhe would, simply narrate the bistory of" the trageay in as: few words â€" as possible. Th: ouly © object _ the « Crown .could â€" have in tracing out this imurder was that of bringâ€" ing its guilt home to the guilty party, and. ascortaining who the murderer really was, and if the cvidence to be awdduced shewed the _prisoner to be the paity it would bs the duty of them, the jury, to find him guilty. If the evidence failed to bring conviction to their minds it would be th.ir duty, their pleasant duty, to acquit him. God: forbid tha«t in the trial of this case, or of any case whoere a human being is on trial for his life, a subject of the Crown should in this our country be found guilty, except on the clearest evidence. It was well known to them, and, not only to them, but to everybody, aif not within the Quaceu‘s whole dominions, at least within the Dominion of Canada, who Thomas DArcy McGee was.. On the seventhof April last he was attending his Parliamentary dutiecs here, and oa the evenin7 of the sixth was â€"present, in‘good hcalth an : spirits, in his place in the House of Commons. â€" On that occasion a most important «question was under debate, and Mr. McGee delivered, he believed, one of the most eloquent speeches ever heard within the Cbhamâ€" ber. At about halfâ€"past two in the morning, after a . long and anxious Session, Mr. M@zee left the House for his lodgings in Sparkeâ€"st., accompanied by Mr, Robort Macâ€" farlanc, M. P., a gentleman of distinction at the bar of Upper Canada:. At the corner of Metcaifcâ€"st, Mr. Macfarians left him in the ‘bright moonlight, which made the might almost 2s bright as day, Mr. Mctee then turned up Sparksâ€"st. until ne reached his lodgings, in the houose kept by a person named Trotter. It was charged against the prisoner at the bar that he had bsen in the House of Commons on that same night, and had left before Mr. McGoee, and waited for him, conâ€" cealed in a gateway near his lodgings. That, when Mr. McGee passed his place of ambash, the prisoner followed, going out into the street, and, when Mr. McGee was opsning the door _of his lodgings, fiad come behind and shot him through the back of the neck, the ball passing out through hbis mouth, and carrying away some of his teeth. (That Mrc. McGee had, in consequence, died almost instantly, . within, in fact, a few seconds. Aye, in less than on~ minute, in less than sixty short secouds after that fatal shot was fired, the soul of Thomas D‘Arcy McGee stood before his Maker. It was charged that the prisoner was the petzoa who fired the shot, and4 hs (Mr.U‘Reilly) unâ€" dertook to prove in evidence that he was the emissary of a conspiracy .f wick d men,whoss n: farious plot had been hatched in Montreal, thwir first hellish scheme having been &2 kill Mr. McGee in his own house. That the priâ€" «oner lw‘ll in fact, gon« for that purpose at night to Mr. McGee‘s house, when th« door wa s opensd to hiim by Mr. McG â€"c‘s brother, wheo was there in court to give his «vidence. Tae prisoner alleged on that occasion that he had com» tor a friâ€"ndly gurpose, namely, to give in« telligence that the ouse would be fired at four a.m. that way. Beeing taut ims «rrand pa p itâ€" ed to be of this fricndly uature, Mr, McG â€"e reâ€" ceived _ the Krinncr in _ his _ library, youug Mr, McGee bavring locked the frout door aiter admitting â€" him. Mr. McGee believed the prisower‘s warning, bâ€" cause at that time, unfortuastely tor the city, there was a. strong _ political feeliog existing, and an‘mosity ran bigh between two paities, of which Mr. McGe»# ied on», and Mr. Devlin the other. . Mrc., McGee consâ€"qaâ€"ntly | gave prisoner a note to take to the police, inâ€" E-tfii:lg them of the projected incendiwism . This was at about 2 a. m., and prisoner, although he had bsen so anxious for Mr. Moâ€" Gee‘s safety and protection, first . appeared with it and delivered it to the police at 445 a. m., and this, although the crime against which it carried a caution, and against which he desired to guard, was, by his own stateâ€" ment, to have taken place threeâ€" quarters of an hour earlier. At this very period it could be proved that violent language bad been used by the prisoper against Mr. McGer, whom the former had charged with being a traitor to his country, as having received tas pay of traitore, und4 as deserving to recoive the death of traitors. . Too w«l!, it they believed the eviâ€" dence, wouid they Aad that sach threat had been carried out. It would be proved aleo that at meetings held shortly before this oc currence at the house of :Jnny in Montreal, where prisoner and some of his intimats asâ€" societes resorted, one of the parties present had addressed prisoner by the name of Bulliâ€" van, saying â€"©Bullivan is the man (to do tho deed." That when â€" Mr. MoGee came up to his ~ p-rhmum:z duties in Ottawa, the _ prisoner made his appcarancs hereâ€"the first occasion of his ever doing so. That when Mr. McGer, from sickness, went home, prisoner also loft Ottawa, returning subsequently <after Mr. McGee‘s reâ€" covery and return. These visits to Ottawa were peid noswithsianding the fact that prisoner had empleyment in Montreal, at his trads of tailoring, at good wagesâ€"he was, it was said, an excelient workmanâ€"and that his house was in Montreal ‘where his wiile lived constantâ€" Iy, and he was himsâ€"lf comforiably establish» ed." Btill he, who bad no need for other orâ€" cupation, they found coming up coif» cidently with â€" Mrc. McGee to Ottawe, and _ taking _ eimployment . with Mr. Eagle:on, a merchant tsilor here, The prisoner was found attending the House of Commons constantly while Mr. McGee was in his place there, but not while Mr. McGee was sick or absent, It would be proved that in November, or pethaps in October, he had purchased a‘ pistol, with which he hai prasâ€" tised shooting, and, if the evidence which he would adduce wer>â€"true, he became undoubtâ€" edly on accomplished> shot. _ On the night «preceding that of his murder, Mr. McGee was spâ€"aking in the Hous», and prison r was preâ€" sent in the gallery with a pistol in his pocket, avd was seen s> armed by a gentieman whom he would produce, who was himsclf in attenâ€" dance at the Capital as a witness in thaKaâ€" mouraska clection cas>. On the night of the murder, prisoner was also in the gallery, enâ€" tering about nine"p.m., and frequently going in and out with much restlessue~s. 1 woula be proved that the prisoner was noticed in the gallery while Mr. McGee was cp.um while he was delivering that last speech ‘ was now fimous That specch #was with regard to the proposed recail of Dr. Tappâ€"+, a geatleman who bad coâ€"operat~d with himâ€" selt in bringing about thâ€" Cansadian Confedâ€" »ration, and this recall, Mr. McGâ€"esaid, would b« like striking a man below the belt. The prisoner thep gnashed his t «th, aad «h wk his hand menacingly, of which evidence would be laid before them _ The prisoner aftâ€"re=ards ocâ€" cupicd other positions in the gallery, and hs counsel) feared that he had accomplices even Eure_, He was, in fact, obs rved conversing with a person near him, and with others beâ€" hind. Lateron, when Mr. McGee was »bout leaving the House, prisoner was ag in sâ€"en, this time concealing himself behind a pillar pear the entrance, and watching for Mr. McGee‘s egress. There was oo doubt as t»his presence in the House up to its adjoumment ; what he did with himself aiterwards they would have as reported by himself, The prisâ€" oner‘s own statâ€"ment on this poivt wak that be did shoot Mr. McGee, and this would be repâ€"ated to them by witnesses from whose lips ©he ._ (counsel) . preferred that â€" they _ should hear it _ without
