Wimxlvnird, Qui-. after noticing the change ttutde,hy,the statute in the, common .i law, in respect to degrees .n -Murder, and` the; duty of the jury under the statute to. find the degree, saia: "Yet the judge as sumed-the provinceof the Puy auctascer tallied the degree in this instance, though this was ,a case of conviction.bytrialand not• by confession. Nothing less can be made out of his words: "It you find the'; defendant gulity."your, verdict.ntast state' guilty'ofmurderinthe first degree." -t• "Was this," he asks,;"leaving the degreito the eurY + to find?'!'' Most, clearly, not.' It xcluded all chances' of deliberation as to the degree,and left to - them only:the question, guilty or not guilty." "lt is in vain to :ague s " he farther remarks, "that' the'Judge wall more competent to flx the degree.than the jury, or, that the circum-. Stances proved the crime to be murder in' the first degree, if murder at 'all; for:the is s atute !iimperative that, commits the de ree to the jury. It isproper for the Judge ivie,e them of "tile , distinctiim between i e degr,e to.appif the evidence andrte" 1 nstruct them to which of these de i greet: it I intbdilbut to tell them they must find the st degree, wale withdraw the point from ejury anddeenie ithimself," , , Itremains to inquire inthiscasewhether the charge was meant to be peremptory that the verdict must-he naurcier„ln the first degree if anything. I will not analyze the charge to prove that this was meant; for in ai. Is parts, wherever conviction is spoken of,' as possible, this is indicated almost as clehrly as in the last paragraph. We have al sci the learned Jtidge's interpretation ofthis as the poaitionassumed by him in his opin- ion on the motion for a new trial. The au thorities he cites' are to prove this position, ' and in the Concluding portion of it he says. after reviewing the facts and the absence of evidence to mitigatethe crime from wilful, intentional poisoning. he, adds: "If such is the case, we were right, and it Was our duty to tell.the jury that they could wit, under the 'law and evidence in the case,' render a verdict of murder in the second ." degree' ~ The. charge being intended to, be' per.; emptory, as claimed by the, prisoner's counsel, and thus shown. we think ,it itn pinged too strongly on the provisions cif the jury; it did not leave them free to de "liberate and fix the degree. The Judge did, as was said in the casetatxme referred to, decide it, and not the jury. If a ver dict of murder in the second degree had been renderedilt would have been a great error tolutife tefused it; and yet this would be the legitithate consequence of a failure to observe the .peremptory direction of the Judge; It has `never yet been decided in Pennsylvania, that .a verdict of. Murder in the second degree iniglit not be given in a case of Anurdet by, poison. - That it may be given is,, as unquestionable as the power of the jury is under the act to give it, and impossible for the Couit to refuse it. • We have', no reference to the facts' of . the ease in hand as they appeared before the jury. We know nothing of them. It is only' with the questions of law raised that we have to deal, and only in the particulars discussed do we see anything to be found fault with. Nor are We to ;be Understood, as•finding fatilt with a practise, which is entirely, pro per' of Judges fteely advising juries as , to theduty of ascertaining thedegree of mur der towards which the facts may. seem to 'point, always ' leaving them, however, free to deliberate upon and the duty and re sponsibility of finding the degree, if they convict of murder. , Per these reasons, the sentence in this ease is reversed,_ and a venire denove is awarded. :Felonious Assault. • • _ Yesterday morning , about - Rudolph: MeMustrie, from Thintingdoni . . . made a felonious :assanit, upon Samuel H.
