Rebutting Testimony. s Mr. ‘Reilly then called witnesses to rebut the evidence for the defence. The plan was all witness‘s own. The Sherif knew no!hlnz at all about it until a â€" week _ after. eans‘! that he . had been carrying out this plan of detection for a week betore.

Said that Peter Eagleson would proâ€" vide for Doyle‘s family. That he would see to that. Eagleson was going to Montreal, and would get $1,000 from somebody. ‘That it was a damnedstrong old gaol, but that Whelan could easily get out if he liked, That he would have thrown away the pistol if he had any suspicion; and that there would hare beon none but for the little black fellow along with the other.] Witaess repeatedly affirmed that the listenicg to the prisoner‘s conversation, about the corridors, was entirely his own idea, and not suggested by any other person whatever. lt was not to corroborate himself he brought in Cullen, but to interpret some lrish socgs (Cullen‘s father had known Irisb) from which witness thought something of importance might be voice of Slattery or Mitchell cried " bravo" to the songs. [Anotber memorandum here handed in by Mr. O‘Reilly, and read by Mr. (Laughter.)

Went with Detective Cullen and Mr. Dawson. Witness went into the glass pantry and commenced to wash his hands, turning the water on the sink. Detective Cullen spoke to Mr. Burnham outâ€" side in a low tone, and witness heard him distinctly, Couldsee through the opening in the door who were in the paseage. ‘The door was open about 18 inches.

These young men had been brought in from the country, anod were in court that morning, bat had not teen called because the Crown had exacted this % H. Cameron‘s) promise (that Mitchell should be his last witness) as a condition of aséenting to the adjournment of Friday. If the Crown had given any warning of its intenâ€" tion to call evidence on the point, the defence would have, as of course, offâ€"red their testiâ€" mouy upon it. Finally Mr. Cameron formalâ€" ly objected that the evidence sought to be now put in. was evidence in chief, and could not be offered at that stage. A Evidence of EKdward J. O‘Neill.

Witness had also seen him early that mornâ€" ing, about seven. Saw him again later on in the atternoon of that day. To Hon. J. H. Cameronâ€"That was on the Tuesday. Saw him at the house on Wednesâ€" day, Thursday and Friday also. During the recess, a slight passage of arms, occasioning considerable amusement, ocâ€". curred between Mr. Mosgrove and the Sheriff. As well as we could understand, Mr. Taillon, (Mr.â€"Mosgrove‘s partner,) had been refused: admittance _ by the intelligent police (about whom we have had occasion to make some remarks before) at the door. Mr. Mosâ€" grove having donsed his gown solemuly apâ€" pealed to the Court for protection of one of its attorneys, and obtained from His Lordsbip an order for Mr. Tailloa‘s admission. This the Sheriff stated he bad himself given long beâ€" fore, taking the opportunity of intimating that " Mosgroveâ€" had been extremely rude."

Cameron was preparing to address the jury, when one of them expressed a wish to retire. Mr. Cameron then suggested the retirement of the whole body for refreshment, so that the addresses of Courselmight be seâ€" cured from inmm'gdon. This was agreed to and the jury accordingly retired. state that such was not theâ€"case; and we fear the "counterâ€"check quarrelsome," if not indeed the "lie circumstantial," passed accordingly. His Lordship looked on amusedly, and it was understood that Mr. Taillon finally got in. A True Bill against Patrick J. Buckley, for a ticket of admission in favour of his the hotel on those days between 12 and 2. Will not swear that he was there at those hours. Work would not be over until between 2 and 3 p.m.. > ‘ During this interval the Grand Jury enterâ€" ed, with a true bill against Patrick J. Buckley for felony, and we gathered that other indict. ments of the same nature were to be laid beâ€" fore them aifter two o‘clock. * * On the return of the jury into court His Lordship addretsed them upon the case which had then occupied so much of their time and attention, to the effect that the ordinary course would prescribe that the Counâ€" sel for defence should then address them ng:: the evidence, to which the Crown would afterâ€" wards reply. These addresses would probably be lengtby, and his own charge, instructing them upon the law, would be sufficient to ocâ€" cupy them, in consequence, until a late hour at night. They would then have to retire to consider their verdict, which it was not likely that they would return without mature deâ€" liberation. A recent case in England had raised a doubt as to whether a verdict could properly bs received on Sunday, and, in view of thik, it would be his duty to refuse to take » theirs on that day if it should be then agreed ‘ zdpon. They would consequently be compelâ€" #d to remain locked up until l‘o:‘ndny without any food or sustenance, that being the Jaw affecting the deliberations of a jury in charge of a prisoner on trial for a capital f«lony. Taking allâ€"this into consideration, His Lordâ€" ship had come to the conclusion that the best course was to adjourn the case to Monday, when the speeches to be made could be commenced at once, and got through at an early hour. They could then give in their verdict that night, or on the following day, as they might agree, The consent of the defence was by no means necessary to this course, although had the verdict been received on Sunday, and had it, unfortunately, been adverse to the prisoner, it would have been the duty of the lattet‘s Counsel_to have raised the objection to its leâ€" gality. The case would thereforo stand adjourned till Monday morning, and in the interval, the jury should be supplied with their ordinary meals as usual. Hon. J. H. Caméeron hoped that, as the eviâ€" dence had now been completed, it should be distinctly understood that the jury were to communicate with no one whatever beyond the officers in charge of them. * 32 After a slight delay the prisoner was then removed, and a general stampoede ensued, the eagerness to leave, especially among the lady visitors, clearly intimating the general disapâ€" pointment at the abrapt termination of the day‘s proceedings, which had seemed to take Counsel, prisoner, and â€" spectators equally by surprise. ‘The deserted benches presented, in a few moments, the most marked contrast to the crowd of eager listeners by which they had been, through all the morning, covered, * His Lordship was sure that both the jury and the officers perfectiy understood their duty in this respect. _ « _ o es * Before the retirement of the Jury His Lordâ€" ship again addressed them, expressing his regret for the inconvenience to which the great length of the trial bad necessarily subâ€" jectel them, at the same time ho told them that if it were any comfort they might congole themselves with the reflection that their position would have been much worse ou the other side of the river, whore juries were frequently kept for most vexaâ€" tious periods. ‘The present was the first inâ€" stance of the kind he had met in Upper Canâ€" ada, and, while he sympathized with the jury, and would take care that they were supplied with every comfort allowed by the law, the only restriction being that they should keep together,he was satisfied that they would cheorâ€" fully undergo the present temporary discomâ€" fort for the sake of bestowing all the attention this most important case demanded, and exerâ€" cising carefully so high a duty as they were now being called upen to falftil. They must, His Lordship added in conclusion, take care to keep their minds open for auy suggestions that might be urged on either side, and not permit themselves to determine upon their inâ€" dividual verdicts before the case was comâ€" for him. There was a gateoway near pletely closed, tko law stated, and the evidence read over to them. The jury were then conducted to their quaiters, atter which the Shcriif took the opâ€" portunity of explaining to the Comt the reason of ‘his inadvertent exclusion of Mr. Taillon, whom he bad not known to be an attorney. The Court expressed its regret that any misunderstanding should bave occurred, but was understood at the same time to exâ€" press an opinion adverse to indiscriminate ad. missions. Before the great business ot the day comâ€" menced Thomas Riley and John Rennicks was charged with the: assault of. George Hughes. After a jury bad been duly empanâ€" nelled, the Crownâ€" entered a nolle prosequi, and the prisoners were accordingly acquitted, and, after a lecture from the Judge against the evils of late hours, bad company, and corresponding immoralities, were discharged. During a pause, occasioned by the retirement of Whelan‘s jury, Andrew Lavalette < was charged with obtaining a pair of boots from Mr. Angus under false pretences. Mr. O‘Reilly appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Mosgrove for the prisoner. We have no room for the evidence, even were it less uninteresting and commonplace, and indeed could only marvel at Mr. O‘Reilly‘s versatility as a man of all work. ‘The prosecutor having varied in his statement in the witnessâ€"box from his repreâ€" sentation before the magistrate, the case was not pressed.> His Lordship laidâ€"the jury unâ€" der obligation by a gratuitous enlightenment as to certain points of law which they may find it useful to recolleet, and a verdict of Not Guilty being recorded, Lavalette was discharged, and Whelan again left in solitude of the dock, which had been briefly graced by less interesting companionshiip, Lavalett», although freed from the clutches of the law, did not, however, escape scathcless, the Chictfâ€" Justice bestowing the customary warning on parting from him, and intimating that his preserice before the judgment seat that mornâ€" ing was by no means an °x ploit on which to pride himself hereafter. _ _ The Queen vs. Bernard Cusson, for the larâ€" ceny of a coat and a chisel, from Mr. Burns of Goulburn. j 2 Mr. Burns was sworn, and said that the prisâ€" ouner worked tor him at a dollar a day, but that his work did not suit him, and after working for him a number of days he paid him off, and on leaving, prisoner took away a coat and a chisel belonging to witness. He was afterwards arrested, and the coat and chisel found on him. ife said Buros owed him money, and hbe took the articles in conâ€" sequence. » f The prisoners were then brought from the jail. On wheir appearance in court it was obâ€" served that Buckley appeared much paler than usual. Doyle was loss altered. ‘The Judge charged that if one person takes the property of another under a mistaken claim of right, there was not necessarily, larâ€" ceny ; the intention wof larceny not being pteâ€" sent in the mind thee was virtually no larceny committed.. The Judge cited a case in which it was held that under such c‘reumâ€" stances the Judge migbt directau acquittal. _ The jury retired &nd after a consultation of a few minutes returned a verdict Not Guilty, | TI/UI BILLS AGAINST BVCKLEY AND DOYLE.

Thomas D‘Arcy Mcâ€" Gee, and on being asked, @ What say you, Patrick Buckley; are you guilty or not gailty ?" called Heaven to witness that ho was not guilty. That the honorable gentleman Mo was then asked if he was reavdy for his trial? HMe hesitated for a momentand then anâ€" swered, " Yes, my Lordgâ€"Fam ready for anyâ€" thing." He was very much agitated and wept. He mentioned Mr. Cameron‘s name, but did not say whether or not that gentleman was to detend him. + * _ John i)o}lo was then called up and arraigned on a similar indictment, and repudiated the idea that he, a man who had shed blood in defence of his country, should be imp!iâ€" cated in so foul a crime. ‘And said in the words used by Buckley, that he was ready for anything.â€" Both joined in denouncing the murderer, who they said, deseryed to be hanged and quartered. His Lordship said ho was not aware whather or not the Crown was ready to proceed with their trials. _ : 5o was his best, his bosom friecnd. And it was a sin and a shatr»to attempt to mix him up in his murder. +« * _ e _ The prisoners were then removed from the dock and conducted back to gaol. .. 20 The court then adjourned till nine o‘clock this (Monday) morning. | Yesterday, Mr. Carling and Mr. Richards, of the Local~ Government, several inembers of the Legislature, afew members of the rnu, and a aprinkh% of the outside world, eit for a tri'f to Fort William, by the steamer Chicora. There will probably be some obâ€" jection to the Province having to pay for the education of its rulers in this way. We have no hesitation in saying that this would be a wrong view to take of the trip. We are glad, for the sake of the members, that they have been transported to the northern country for a week or two ; weâ€"are particularly glad for the sake of Mr. Richards, who does not add to his faults or virtues, whichever way you please to regard them, a wonderful expansiveâ€" ness of soul or mind. ‘Travel helps to enlarge the vision ; to aweep away many mists and prejudices which may have previously existed ; to create a. cosmopolitan spirit, and to give a man a higher and lofuer and better view of men and things. (True, it is not a great distance to Fort William ; a few days suffice for the trip. But even in its small way it cannot be without good effect upon the mind of the:Crown Lands Commissioner. It the voyage be not made too hurriedly, he will have an opportunity of seeing something of the greai mineral wealth of ‘the northern shores of Lakes Huron and Superior ; he will be brought into prastical contact with the wretched policy which has locked up large tracts of the : Lake Superior country in the hands of & few doâ€"nothing monopolists ; and he will have occaâ€" sion to ruminate over the miserable mineralâ€" land poliey which he submitted to the House last sessionâ€"a policy which instead of enâ€" couraging the young and struggling mining industry of the country put a complete exâ€" tinguisher upon it. The cost of the trip will | not be begrudged if Mr. Richards should |prom by what he will see and learn, and‘ come down to the House next session with larger views of our ‘eondition and what is required to develope our resources and build up the provinces, than he now possesses. We give the Commissioner of Crown Lands full credit for being a painstaking officeman. Late and early he is at his bureau, conscienâ€" tiously endeavoring to do his duty. But we sabmit that the head of a department should be something more than a clerk. It is no advantage to the country that he shoald asâ€" sume the discharge of details which could be quite as well attended to by others as by himâ€" seli. His business is to plan, to give jud& menut upon cases when the facts elicited by careful examination by others, are laid beâ€" foreâ€" him: Mr. Richards busies himself so much with the details of his officée that he has no time tor the work which more properly appertains to his position. He will not be likely to appreciate this truth any the more for a run from the Sault to Fort Wilâ€" liam ; and we have very grave doubts that he will ever be able to get out of the rut of routine which helearned in a law office. His personal contact with men and things on the Northern Lakes ought to be of use to him, however, and we hope next session to find him coming a little more out of his shell and giving effect to a generous: land and mineral policy.â€" THE LARCENXY CASES.

Both the prisoners were arraigned in the afternoon, and pleaded * not guilty," and on being asked if they were ready for trial, said they * were ready "for anything.‘" It is probable that the trial of these prisoners will be deferred till the next Assizes, as the appointments of the Court will not admit of their being tried at the preâ€"= sent term.

We have. on several occasions urged on our citizens the necessity ‘of making an imâ€" mediate movement towards furnishing aid to the settlers in the Red River settlement. Already London and Hamilton have taken vigorous measures to Faieg a contributiqn on . their behalf, and we understand that Saxmâ€" rorp FuiExixc, Esq., C. E., has genâ€" erously offered to give his cheque for four hundred dollars towards the Ottawa subscription, so soon us a movement shall have been made to set it on foot. In fact we believe Mr. Fuewuixc‘s cheque for that amount is already at the command of His Worsmr the Maryog, and. we;hope, therefore, that no further de(l?y will take place in setting a. moyg’g. ment on foot ard organizing an efficient canvass of the city. No case of charity ever appealed more directly to the people of Canâ€" ada than this. The distress, as our readers already know, from the facts published in _ our columns, is such as to threaten inâ€" evitable starvation, â€" unless assistance is furnished within the next six weeks ; for after that date, it may be that ah early â€" winter will _ render comâ€" munication, or at least the introduction of supplies, very difficult and expensive. Whatâ€" ever is to be done should be done at once ; and we think it would be a dire disgrace to Ottawa were its citizens the last to move in such a matter. Will not His Worsuir Tux Maror .summon the Council, or the citizens, so that action may â€" be resolved upon, and that quickly. It is more than a week since the citizeng of St. Paul,, Minn., took up the case, and organized an efficient collecting committee, Surely we * Britishers‘‘ will not allow our American cousins to be very much ahead of us in reâ€" lieving the necessities of our fellow colonists in‘ the Red River settlement.

Just â€"as, we have said before, â€" the difficult and delicate responsibility rests upon theâ€" Dominion Government, to show the Nova Scotidns that Union is good for them as well as for the other Colonies and, the Empire at large. This task may be difficult, because of the obstructions the Nova Scotians themâ€" selves throw in its way,\}gl delicate, beâ€"_ cause all matters of feeling, whether personal or political, are more or less so, but it is by no means impossible. A little time will be required to accomplish it; perhaps more than most. of us would like to gee consumed in such a task ; but still it has \w be done; and we have the utmost faith that it will in the end be well done. We beâ€" lieve that the beneficial effects of Union are â€" already > at _ work _ in Nova Scotia, . and that with . the ~progress of time these will daily make themselves more and more felt, so that those who lhr:nk from appealing to the constituencies the other day, will be less likely to run the risk of that crdeal afew months, or a few years, hence, because their chances of success will diminish a terrific nightmare upou the sorely perplexed brain ot the knightâ€"errant of the «Times.

Such trash as the above will hardly be acâ€" cepted by an intelligent public as an excuse for the ‘"eavesdropping ‘‘ or retailing of private conversation, of which we. have conâ€" victed the Cifizen, respecting Mr. S.
