Parliamentary Reform, which was lapt'
nearly-carried, as a Government measure, lys",
Itritium PITT, was almost hors de combat fease
his time until the Administration of the Dulke:
of Weimer:ads, in 1828. It had been prirrek
to the satisfaction of Parliament, and the die?:
satisfaction of the public, that the borough Of t ,
East Retford was too corrupt to be - any long"
permitted to !return .tWo members to Par*ment. A motion was made to disfranchise its
and invest the la'rgo, and opulent town of Ate'
mingham with the electoral rights which might
thus be vacated. The Duke's Govermiteritr
slated this transfer to a "great and potent a,
town,' and favored its being -made over:to

The election of D'OcniNErz as Id. P. fot
Clare, also in 1828, brought the Catholic
Question to such a crisis, that there really
seemed nothing between Catholic Emancip&
tion ' and open civil war in Ireland. The,
Duke, 'familiar as he was with battles, dreadet
a civil war, and granted Catholic tmandipti
tion early in 1839.. '
Early in 1830, a resolution, offered in tbi
Commons, to enable Manchester, Birminghanit
and Leeds each to send two members to Parr,
llament, was defeated by the influence of the
Government. A fete months later, however,
GEORGE IV . died, and was succeeded by hie
brother, Wu ium IV, who was known to hold
liberal opinions. The Frenefißevolution oe.,
curred while the General Election was in,pro
gross, and its excitement roused the inhabit
tants of the British Islands. Then, for the
first time, Parliamentary Reform became a
rallying cry on the hustings, and at the Elec.
tion polling-places. The now Parliament
met early in November, 1880, and Earl Grcar
a consistent reformer from his youth upward,
urged, in his place in the Rouse of Lords, the
necessity of immediately reforming the House
of Commons. The Duke of Wriuneres
affirmed that there was no necessity for Re
form; that ho would bring forward no measure
that way tending, and would resist any suck
measure as long as ho held any station in the
Government of the country. This settled thS
question. A fortnight afterwards, the Duke,
outvoted, had to resign, and Lord Gear came
in as the head of a Ministry pledged to the
country to carry Reform.
and Shpaii Of
The Reform Bill was not introduced until I
March 1831, but Ministers got beaten on it,
in Committee, in the third week of April,
whereupon WILLIAM IV suddenly dissolved
the Parliament. All over the country, politi
cal associations, in connection with the Politi
cal Union of Birmingham, created a furore in
favor of Reform. The new Parliament met,
and the Commons carried a second Reform
Bill, the second reading of which, in the.
Lords, was rejected by 109 againtit: 168 votes.-
Then loudly swelled the cry of popular indig
nation against the House of Lords. The Bir
mingham Political Union threatened to march
150,000 armed men upon London. Anti-reform
ers were burned in effigy. Nottingham Castle,
as the property of the anti-reform Duke, was
burned. There were riots, with loss of life,
in Derby. There were riots in Bristol', during
which Queen Square and other streets were
burnt and plundered. At last, a third Reform
Bill passed the Commons, in April, 1831, and
the Reformers agreed to pay no taxes until it
also passed the Lords. At the special solici
tation of the King, who really feared for his
Crown, and must have thought himself a poli
tical Frankenstein, the anti-reform peers did
not attend during the further steps neces
sary to pass the measure, into the statute
book, and it received the Royal assent, in June
1832, and the nation felt as if a great peril Mil
then passed away.
Lord Joni RUSSELL, who, as an underling
of the Grey Ministry, had introduced the sue
cessive Reform Bills, immediately declared
that this was a final settlement of the ques•
tion, and, repeating it often, got the nickname
of 'it Lord John Finality." And Finality it
would have been to this hour if--evidently to
retrieve his faded popularity—he had not in
troduced now Reform Bills in 1851, 1853,
1864, and 1856, without, it is believed, the
slightest intention of any one of them over
passing into a statute. Most of all, the Peo
ple, whom he wished thus to hoodwink, saw
through the transparent trick. In 1856 he
brandished Reform in the face of Premier
Ehmtaawrox, until that time-serving gentle
man was himself obliged to promise Reform,
in 1857. N othing ot the sort was then pro
duced, and, after quitting office in 1868, FAL•
MERBTON bad to confess that his promised Re
form Bill existed only in his own head, as be
had never committed it to paper i Yet, la the
Queen's speech, in 1868, this Reform Bill was
gravely promised to the country I

after Ward brought into 'court. ' "
The petty jury, which had been drected to be

were eimise il from further 'attendance till this day
fortnight.' This : Vould" indbiate ,
the Pert `Of the TUdge to admit' the evidende tele

The , eouosel for the 'prosecution are inundated
with country newspapers containing editorial Com
manta ha regard to the conduct of this trial. They
have.little time, however, to read or profit by, the
sage suggestions therein made.
,PROOBBDIIiaII Or, TILB COURT
The Distriot Attorney, Mr. Ouid, prooeeded to
close his argument, againstthe admissibility of the
evidenoiroffered td proVe adultery. •
He had been , endeavoring, be said, when he
closed his remarks, on, Saturday,,to show that
the facts - offered in evidence bn the part of 'the
'defence, did not amount' to st'le,gar provocation,
mudh lees to' justifloation ; -and that - the questions
of provocation, justification, and, cooling, time
ware ideal questions. He had been interrupted,
politely - of course, by a question from Mr. Brady,
asking on what were the jury to page the
court determined the justification and the , °eel
ing time. It was the' duty of the jury, be held,
to pass upon the facts die connected. with. the,
killing, and,to'apply,'.the -law enuno i ated by- the
:0
court with reference„ jastifteation, provocation,
and 'imling - , The court has its 'peculiar
funetions o and so have the jury. ',lf there were no
other questions in the ease,. that .was the fault
of the mute, one of the inoidents attaching' to the
ease. If a man wore indicted ifor 'poisoning, would
the learned counsel olalm, that evidence of, jean
oation, provocation, or cooling time should be
given'? Did 'not the law declare that in each; ;t
-ease there could be no justification, no provocation
no cooling time? The jury pass upon the truth of
the fasts offered. Their suitioieney in" law wee a
question exclusively for the court. If the court
decided that they wore sufficient in law,,then the
question of their truth went before the jury ; but
If the court decided that they were not sufficient
in law, then, of course, they did not go before the
jury. It waa,the constant practice of courts to pass
upon the provocation , justification, and cooling
time.
The Judge. At a different stage Item this, how:
ever. "
Mr: Brady. We utterly refuse to enter into any
discussion at thte time except what relates to the
-particular point before your Honor for determina—
tion. We offered to prove habitual adultery.. Ob
jection was made lo that.' As to the justification,
provocation, and cooling time, we propose to be
heard at a future stage in asking the court for in
structions, and we mean to insist that thejury-are
the judges of the law end of the facts. But that
time has not arrived yet.
Mr. NM certainly misunderstood the argu
ments of the counsel if the questions of justifica
tion, provocation, and cooling time were not now
before the Court.
Mr. Phillips. If the evidence has a tendency
toward justification, that is suirmient.
The District Attorney held that it had no such
tendency : for in law the foots amounted neither to
justification nor provocation. He referred the
court, ott this point, to Addison, and-6 Tiedell4
172, 118, and 181,. the state , against John IP'
Creighton. In the case cited by the other side,
Manning's case, the question of provocation was
before the court, and the court there declared what
would he and.what would not be sufficient prove
eation. Did-not every court, in oases of murder,
mentally deoide upon the sufficiency of evidence
to constitute a legal provocation in law? 'Un
doubtedly it did. Here the fasts sought to be put
in evidence were admitted, but the question was'
whether they amounted to a provocation orjetsti
flcation. The same doctrine came np inciden
tally in Selfridge's case, as to the effect which the
law ought to give, Bpi which the jury must give,
to certain questions affecting honor and dishonor
—and there the court decided the question. The
counsel referred to 2d vol. of Archlbsdd'a Criminal
Practise.
At this point the Court interrupted Mr Ould, in
order to have the grand jury called. The judge
relieved them from further attendance tilt this
day fortnight.
Mr. Cild, resuming, replied to the proposition of
Mr. Phillips, that this evidence was competent for
rebutting mallet+. That he thought was begging
the question. Was the evidence of such a charm,
ter as would be a legal rebuttal of malice? If not;
it was not competent. It had also been argued
that the evidence was odepetent as affecting the
question whether the passion of the
,prisoner was
deal or feigned. "It had also been argued that the
eceasedd was. giving the signal of adultery, and
that, , therefore t the madame was competent: But

eel challenges the deferide to point out a ease where
objection was made to such evidence and not sus.;
twined. It had been also set up here that the in
dictment recited that the deceased, at the time of
the homicide, was in the peace of God and of the
United States and that he was not so in point of
feet, and thaetherefore the indictment could not
be sustained.
The words are mere surplusage, and might have
been omitted. They meant simply that he was
under protection of the laws of God and man ;
nothing more than that. If Mr. Key had been
engaged in a riot, or if he bad been blaspheming.
would it be contended that any man might kill
him? •
. .
Mr. Graham. In an effort to prevent him from
committing a crime it would not be murder today
him. '
The District Attorney. Would it be proper to
kill a man_to prevent him from committing assault
and battery ?
Mr. Graham I take the ground that if a man
assaults me, I halm a right to resist him to the
death. •
The District Attorney. That depends altogether
On (dreams tenses.
The Judge. It would dipond on the nature of
the attack.
Mr. Graham. I would not be bound to await and
watch the nature of the attack:
The District Attorney proceeded to argue that
the testimony in regard to the handkerchief did
not oonneet the parties with any adulterous inter
course. This was, therefore, not a proposition to
continue evidence already given, but to give new
evidence on a distinct point. He held to his posi
tion, that it was fqr the court, and the court alone,
to pass upon the nature of the evidence offered. It
was only for the jury to pass upon the facts al
lowed to be given in evidence. Trial by jury was
a creature of the common law, and when the Con
stitution of the United States gave to thdatraigned
the privilege of trial by jury, it gave him the trial
byjury in accordance with the canoe of the com
mon law, and in no other way. That common law
had been announced by Hall, and Roster, and
-East, and ethers, and• what he contended for was
one of that common law.
It had been alleged by the defence that the ease
now presented was analogous to that of Jarboe.
He prooeeded to show that no snob analogy existed.
In the ease now .before the court, the prisoner made
the declaration at the time of theliomielde, " He
has defiled my bed." In Jarboe's case, the
question was by the prisoner to the deceased,
" What do you intend to do?" and the answer
was, "You will see what I intend to do." That
was a matter which did not explain itself, and,
therefore, it was right for the court to allow evi
dence to bo given to explain the declarations. Here
the declaration of the prisoner explains itself,
and, therefore, no evidence was necessary to eluci
date it.
The facts themselves carried no further impres
sion to the human mind then the oxeression itself
does.
There woe another distinction between the two ,
oases. In Jarboe's ease, the expression was made
as of both by the deceased and prisoner. Here no
expression was made use of by the deceased, His
Honor, in Herbert's case, drew - a distizotion be-
Ames the declarations made by the deceased and
those made by the prisoner. Otherwise a party
might manufacture testimony in his own sass.
While no such objection could possibly apply to'
the declarations of the deacon& he insisted that
the instruction of the court in 'Jarboe's ease ap
plied to this case here, viz : thatthe facts did not
justify the act, or constitate a legal provocation,
and that the killing was murder.
In regard to the question of insanity, his Honor's
rulings hitherto bad been that no declarations
made by other parties to the prisoner could be ad
mitted as proof of insanity. And on that ground
the evidence must necessarily be out. What
then was loft as competent evidence in law?
thing but that the prisoner himself was witness to
the adulterous intercourse between the deceased
and the prisoner's wife. The last ground on whieh
this evidence had been urged was on the ground
of its being res gesso ; and that it was competent
as explaining the animus of the prisoner, that the
deceased had violated his bed. The declaration
itself was part of the res gene, and was receiva
ble; but the evidence of the truth of the declara
tion was not res Rester, and was not resolvable.
As well might the United States go into a long
evidence of the manufacture of fire-arms and de
tail the manner of making the pistol, which had
been offered in evidence in this case.
But, say the deform°, the declaration of the psi
sonar shows his motive, and this evidence ought lo
be received, because it explains the declaration:
That raised the direct question whether the fast
of adultery constituted a legal provocation or jug
! tffloation, and ho had already shown that it did
not. It hnd been printed, rather than argued, on
the other side, that the prisoner, at the'time of the
homicide, was but defending his wife from the
further advances of the deceased. The law, how
ever, says that for the taking of human life, such
an excuse affords no justification or excuse. Nothing
but an attempt to commit a felony can excuse the
taking of life. It must be distinctly and satisfac
torily shown that the deoessod was, at the very
TWO CENTR,
time, attimpting-te Commit ' a
felony, but the
teflon to, adultery does, not rise even to the dignity
. • . •
of a trespass. ,
The Judge said t Five propositions are atated• of
the basis of offer, to prove the feet of 'adnittiolY*

prisoner. Alta wepooltion is not to introdaoeSert

street; they were at the gate, I was at my gate;
they went up, Fifteenth street as far as I could see
them.
Mr. Stanton requested that the prisoner might
retire during this examination. To this the prole
elation said they had no objection, and Mr. Sickles
acoordinglY retired accompanied by an ofber.

neighborhood. Bhp said the first time she saw
Mrs. S. was three weeks after Key told her he had

riags.
Mr. Brady. Describe what you found there.
A. We found up there , a bed all in confusion,
and on that bed we found a shawl; thinking I bad
seen such a shawl in possession of Mr. 'Key, it was
suggested that the officer Should take charge of
the shawl; looking about we found a pair of gloves
on the mantel, and a paroeLof cigarettes. it was
also suggested that be should take charge of these
gloves, and a (tomb found there; cannot say that
this is the same shawl, but it is like it; it was
handed to Mr.. Mann, and he was requested to
take charge of it ; I think Key resided in 0 street,
about a mile from the house on Fifteenth street ;
Bey was a widower with four or five children ;
they had often been in my house ; Mrs. Key died
some four or five years shwa..
Mr. Brady. That Is all. -
Mr. Ratcliffe to Mr Carlisle, with mook polite

Mr. Carlisle. No, sir. fLatighter.l ,
John M. Seeley re-called and examined by Mr.
Frady.—My attention was called to the visits to
the house in Fifteenth street, by Mr. Key and a
lady between the middle of January and the first
of February ; noticed Key and a iadygo there fre
quently ; the last occasion was the 15th of Feb
ruary ; Key's outside garment was usually a steel
mixed gray sack, and on.other occasions a plum
colored coat; did not notice a shawl ; saw Key un
lock tho door and walk in.
Q. When Key and the lady were there the fast
time had she walked with him?
A. I did not see them at any time except on foot ;
do not know that she bad hold of his arm ; did not
see them come out on that occasion ; it was be
tween one end two o'clock ; the next occasion
that I particularise was Saturday, the 12th of
February, about the same hour; -I was going up
Fifteenth street they w ere going np before mr,,
walking leisurely ; 'as I passed the deer of the*
house in Fifteenth street they stopped and. went
in ; the lady, as she Wetit in; drew np her veil and
looked at me, and I looked at her; I have known
Mr. Bey for years; Mr. Hey unlocked the door,
and, I presume, took out the key ; saw them corn!'
out of the house on that day; they were there
about an hour or an. hour and a half; they came
out separately, she first; they both came through
the front door; some four or five minutes elapsed
between her coming 'out and his; she passed on
towards her home, and he passed in the opposite
direction ; the only Sabbath I ever saw them' go
Into the house was the 20th of February;
_lt was
about 1 o'clock ; Isaw him enter, but no lady with
him ; I immediately went to a hack room on the
third floor of my house, and looked out of the win
dow ; I saw the same lady come up through the
alley from IC to 1 street; saw Key come to the
back door and walk down toward the gate, and.
they returned together to the house ; to my certain
knowledge that was Sunday, the 20th of February;
I am not prepared to say how long they staid on
that °erasion ; perhaps an hour or an hour anti a
half; the lady came out the same way she went
in, buff did not see Hey some out ; I also saw her
pass into the house the Wednesday or Thursday.
before Bey's decide; she passed in the leek gate
that was about 2 o'clock; did. not We Bey there at
all that day ; cannot state how long she remained,
for I was compelled to leave on my own - business;
the house bad been of unfortunate repute when I
went to the neighborhood; the parties left, and the.
owner °coupled it a short time ; after he left it
remained unoccupied till I saw Bey and the lady
go there.
Q. Did von mortals' who the lady was?
A. I Md.
