We cannot -dose, this; report without an’
earnest appoalto tbe ; community, io favor of
an institntion, conducted solely with tha view
ofamelioroting the sufferings of the poor and
needy, and those who havo none to care for
them.
By a reference to > tbo above report, it
will be perceived that the funds of the msti
tution are nearly exhausted, and that ‘ money
is wanted, not only to pay off debts already
contracted, but to insure the continuance
(oven on its. heretofore limited scale) of its
nsefulness.
How.many amongst u>, when preparing for
another world, and dividiug iheir ihoußunds
amongst those having often littlo need of such
accessions, might, by a small contribulion, aid
m relieving the sUfienngs of a'ciass, which has
peculiar claims on charity. Wo are confident
there exists; in this community; sufficlentof
this good fooling to sustain a charity, such-ns
this, m foil vigQ). AI! that has been wanting,
heretofore, has. -boon, a proper medium,
through; which ;soch- benefactions • could be

Judge Patton: t • fts i;/.•.
in tblrease tho prisoner la charged with t|ie mur
der. of. hia Rife,Maria Anno Zimmeilce. - Tlk suh"
ofitnpe of the charge eetforfh in the. i’ndictme it Is,
,tbgt he inflicted on her certim wound* with'h ] ;nift}
on the ltth September,‘of, which' wounds"ithe} died
on the I6tb ofthe same month.' The material,facts
alleged in the .indictmcJitUre.jiot disputed, j The
■ wounds described in- with '
..some seven or eight otfier WoundsnOt set forth, were
inflicted by the hand of the prisoner.', .ThelVijunffs
described were sufficient to'calnse the death, amfdid
'cause it. The more fatal wounds were in tho back,
t and penetrated to the chest.' The instrument iused
was i long shoemaker’s ijnire.., Auhe put mortem
examinaston, a piece of this knife; nearly three
inches jn length, and, embracing the point,'was
found in her body,- and nearly an idch of It w n s
found projecting into tho chest. In short it may be
said that the fact, the madner, the cause, anil the
author of the death, as set forth in the indictment,
are matters not controverted.,
, . In view of these uncontroverted facts, and of the
circumstances attending the infliction nr the wounds
we feel warranted in saying, at* the'outset, that the
casp is one or murder in the first or second degree,
or it is .ijfcnce it is Useless to occupy your
time in dwelling‘op the lower grades of homicide.
We may briefly, howiver, advert to ’the low m re-1
gard to manslaughter, because, by doing so, you '
may be the better enabled to understand what con- ,
stitutes murder, and'the distinction between murder I
of the first degree and murder of the second degree
created by onr Act of Assembly. ' , ,
* * * * tf • *
A material change has been made in thecomthon
Jaw by the Act of 1794. That Afet makes a division
of murder into lw fl degrees, fly the express terms
or the Act, there ore several kinds of ranrdsr in the
i fi ™. l ■degree;,clearly defined—to wit_: -when it is
caused; byipoison, or bjr jying inwait,.or in, tfao
attempt to Commit a rape, robbery, hurglary or arson.'
But all other kindßiof'mUrdcr in.the Aral degree,
which Tall undcr ; tfib description ot“-aitftil,deliber
ate, and premeditated killing,” «o left to construe
TJiejury,wilhllieaidohh'c
Court, must determma the character of each case
from the-facta and.circemstancea'etlehding it. !Be
blowing uppn every case the most careftil, calm, and
impartial reflection, the jury can: seldopt err in form'
ing their verdict. ,
other kinds, of murjer al common, law,: not
| falling.uqd.cr the description: of murder in the first
[ degree, would be morder ofthe' second degree-uh-'
der our statute. ■
By our lair, inorder lo bring a case within the
description of « wilful, deliberate,and premeditated
i WM n St” there, must,,be an intent to take life,’and
this intent must he gathered from circpmstjnces.
: I 1 ’ 0 ’ d eon seldom bo proved by the declarations of
- P 4r *J» Accused of the crime.. . When n person mod i
commission, of a .heinous offence, he Is not
. likely to,declare htß intention beforehand, unless it
III his accomplices. Tho absence .of provocation,
and the employment of a deadly weapon, are cir-
tend promptly to prove the intent *
and this prodf may be strengthened by the concur
rence of other facts, such as sccrcsy,' or seclusion,
preparation-far, pod, perseverance in the commission
ofihe acibj the accord. ;
When a man uses cer
tsm words, ifiAconversau’on with n friend, it’ia sup
posed he intends to convey the meaning which pro
perly beloogs to them. If a roan.use upon the per
son of another a deadly weapon, the natural infer
ence is that he willed or.lntcnded .the-effect- which
luch a, weapon is naturally caicnfaicd to produce,'
,lf there bo great anUhontinucd.perscvcrance in the
use of the weapon, attended with circumstances of
great enormity and crnclty, and dealh is the final
revolt, tho manner of the nse and the death tend
.strongly, if not conclusively, to coofirm the infer
ence that ho willed and intended what actually oc
curred. It would be unsafe to go by-snyother rule ;
of moral agency m. the administration of the laws;
. The act, to be murder of tho first degree, must
also bo.« deliberate and premeditated.”. Tncn;
again, tho absence of all provocation is regarded as
■ ail imporlant ilemof proof to show premeditation.
If wo known provocation has been given; the inquiry
arises, what could have prompted the party to the'
act f The only natural answer is, that he has chcr
ished some atcfet grudge— that he his secretly
formed a design, and that ho Is, by his act,-carrying -
out this formed design. " Tho use of a deadly wea
pon la another circumstance lending to the proof of
premeditation; and this proof is strengthened, if he
has purposely prepared himself beforehand with the
weapon. In regard to the space of time that may
be necessary to ruruiah scope for deliberation; it is
impossible to fix,u period. Some men require -less
time than other* for leflection. Reflection for a 1
minute might in the caso of ono man bo enough to
raise a charge »f premeditation. Io the case of an
other man, it might require five minutes; or anhour,
or half a day, No timwxan be fixed as U. limit, and
upon the. subject of premeditation; the’Jury must
judge in every case, from all the, circumstances;
whether it is.or is not a feature in the transaction;-’
It is not our intention to dwell upon the evidence
In this case. We deaire.to refrain from pre-occupy- i
ing. the minds of tho Jury w,ih our own views in re
gard to the tendency ofthe evidence. The Juty
are the. judges, both of tho law and the-evidence
and into their hands must he committed the fate of
the prisoner. . j
But we must bo permitted to say, that there arc
circumstances of preparation indicative of 'prcmed
itation,—of multiplicity of w ounds, inflicted with a
deadly yreapon prepared for the occasion—of all
provocation being absent—of sacred and long ex
isting ties cruelly Violated of murderous persever
ance in a scene of horror and barbarity—that -must
inpvdably stamp the transaction with the guilt of
,murder; inlho.firat .degree, unless, the Jury should.
find something to-Change its aspect in the evidence'
produced by the defence, under the plea of insanity .
It rests upon the party, making the plea of insan
“y>lo establish it jby affirmative proof,,. Its exist
ence can not be presumed. It cannot he inferred
from the madness of the act itself; - For any man
w ko takes, ihu,life.of. a fellow being, except by acci
dent, in self defence, Orby the commander permis
eion of tho law,is a,sort: of madman. Ilia reason
ing powers must bq dethroned by passion, or per
verted hy malice.' Ail ifie.bad passions of the licart,
such as anger, hatred, malice, envy, .and revenge;
c4rr y on a, perpetual, warfare.with the rational 'and
■PRWiat? action of ;the mind' of man in every
furm of society and ,in every condition of life.—
They are perpetually throwing the mind off’its bal
ance, tlirnsting aside flio judgment, and impelling 1
.the man, to acta of folly and madness; But-this! is
hot what.is-mcant by insanity..

sanity here, must not be understood, the mental de
rangement or alienation, under which every man la
oors for the time while he is drunk. Every drunken
man 1a for the time mere or 1 css insane. But his
insanity is of a temporal kind. It is a mpmenla
■ll Pbrcnxy, and is lire direct andmtmcdiatq effect : of'
the liquor. This is not the-kind of insanity that ex
cuses the perpetration of crime, although, ai we
have just remarked, it is a fiicl, ’that in caaM of
murder,rnay. be taken into consideration by thojury;'
and applied by thorn-id the question of malice. ’ '
But where inoinity is the remote or nltuna(e-el- :
f! e Pb°- r - habits of intemperance-—where (he effect
takca a characterdistinct from that of mere intoxi
cation—where, Tor msrance, a career ormtenipc
ronco has resulted in ■ delirium tremens Or mania '
potu—it is an excuse for crime. Then the immedi
ate and direct effect of thß ; liquor haspassed off, hnd'
is succeeded bya disease of the mind, deprivinglhe
patient of reason. But eron in eases where such is
the result of habits of intemperance,; the: taw ivill>
only exeuso the offender, prouded he is unconscious
or the evil he is doing, or incapable of distinguish
mg between right and wrong in .relation to the act
committed. The insanity mnstbe of such u charac
ter, as to control the .wilt, and :.to. dcpnvcithe party'
of freedom of moral action. In such cases, the law
looks nol lo the . causes, hut tho effect. It-recog-'
nixes him in its mercy, as one dopmod or rcaimn
and understanding, and as such does not hold him
accountable for bis aefs.
The insanity produced by
it be mania, Miriam, or some other farm-may be
total or partial. If it bo of a partial character; and'
manifests ilseir merely m a delusion on one or more
subjects, the offence must be the offspring of the in
sane delusion, otherwise tho. offender will be held
responsible for the-act. • (
It will bo fortho jury to apply the law to the evi
dencc produced in this case..in support of tho plea
of insanity, and to say what benefit, 4 f any, the
prisoner shall derive from the pica. It will be for
them to say whether tho evidence has established
uu> of those distinct forms of insanity, which the
law clearly regards us an excuse forenme, or wheth
er the evidence has proved a slato of mind soclose
ly bordering qn .fixed insanity as to control tho will,
and render the party incapable of that deliberation
and premeditation which are essential features in the
crime of murder in the first degree. If he labored
under absolute insanity, then he was not a responsi
ble being, and cannot be punished for his act. If
he was in a diseased state of njind, not amounting to
insanity in the eye of tho law, but impairing Or dc
stroymghis capacity for rational deliberation, the
jury may say whether this circumstance should re
duce the net to murder in tile second degree, or may
give to it such weight as, m their impartial and hu
mane deliberations, they may deem best.
Thojury, in many cases where murder ia charged,
have a legal discretion to say whether the act a
mounted to murder in the first,or murder in the sec
ond degree. This ia evident from the tenor and
humane provisions of the Act of 1794. They have
that discretion in this case. Or'ir they believe that
a clear case or insanity has been made out, may ac
quit the prisoner enurely; a conclusion, however,
at.which they will scarcely arrive;
Their best judgment must be exercised under the
solemn obligations they owe to their oathsi their
consciences, and their vows. If they believe the
defendant guilty of even the highest grade of mur
dcr, tl,oy must say so, and allow no feelings ol sym
pathy.to stand between them and their duty. On
the other hand, they must not permit their minds to
he unduly influenced by feelings or horror and in
