represent J. R. Y. or you.
Dr. Eckfora Guinsay, the and witness'
called. testified he believed McFarland
to be Mamie about the time Richardson
was pistolled.
James O'Rourke, M. D., who had pre.
earthed for McFarland, was the ascend
witness called by defense, to prove the
Insanity of McFarland. He described
the symptoms of Insanity he had noticed
in McFarland Just previous to the homi
cide. - •

- himself, se if.there was something wrong
With' him; - . remarked this to Dr.
O'Rourke. McFarland spoke to Dr.
O'Rourke, and while ho was doing so
witness was trying to fathom. In his own
mind what was the matter with him ;
• thought at the time that if prisoner had
committed any act, no matter how out
repeats, he would not be responsible for
Re. notiaxi
of hia eye. peculiarly wild expression
Francis Elmer, druggist, testified that
be had seen the prisoner two or three
days before the occurrence, when he
" came to get morphine; the drat time pris
oner came he got one grain of morphine;
on one occasion be came after midnight;
his manner betrayed groat. excitement'
and he complained of aleeplesenitaa; his

thought him Irrational-

sell monadne to an Irrational person!
The witness replied that he gave the
morrtaine on a phyalcian'e twateription.
Judge Davis asked if he did not snow
the prescription to have been one year
old, and the witness admitted that he
did. name of the was n
signed to o
the prescription, onlyphysician-
his int ot
male.
, George H. Taylor, physician, testified
that he -became acquainted with ...the
Prisoner in '67; the- prisoner visited hie
eatabliabetent in - that year; he was Buf
fering from Intermittent fever. Witness
prescribed quinine for hint. Witness
saw him again In '6B, when he com
plained of rickneas; be recommended
-hint to lite out of town. The prisoner
did tot spesk to him much about his
family troubles.
James D. MoCielland gave evidence,
similar that already reported, of McFar
land's appearance and ;tenons.
After the usual recess, Wm. B. Dic-
Fariand, physician testified he WAS a
nephew of the prisoner. Mrs. fdcFar
land told him her husband gave her all
She • money she required; saw her the
aeootid day after she left her husband, at
Ban. Sinclair's; she occupied a room ad
joining Richardson* laid herreason for
leaving him was he had common
oed to drink, and refused to .go
back; .she asked him Lto stay
trial night with her husband, as she
- fears& be would de - a - troy himself. He
told his uncle of the conyersatlon and he
seemed much affected. At the oonver-
Nation with Mrs. IdeFartand she told him
her husband loved her very much, and
In fact wee Jealous of her; she told him
her father was coming down; they would
hold a conference. Once told witness all
ehe deeded was money to make her
happy, to enable her to _mingle with the
elite of society In New York. He com
municated the remark made by Mrs.
McFarland about money to MCFarland.
Mr. Gerry offered to show by witness
.that Km McFarland told him that Hoy.
' ace Greely thought a great deal of her,
and Schneer Colfax admired her very
much.
The. testimony was ruled out, • .
testified that McFarland told
him ho had remonstrated with his wife
about dinning at a restaurant with Rich
ardson and they had made up, and his
• wit. auViteut.i3r left him. McFarland,
In May,•l , read for him an intercepted
letter, his manner was wild and ho
learned irrational. Met Miff after
wards at the Swedish movement
cure establishment; he was titan
much emaciated and depressed in
spirits. Saw him frequently during
416 and '69, and formed the opinion he
was deranged. On - one °crouton ne told
him he bad an wooontrollable impulse to
destroy himself and witness-prescribed
morphine for him. Croix-examined
Dld not my to Mrs. McFarland' be . tied
long known her husband had treated her
like • brute. Heard prisoner make use
of Irrational expressions, but • could not
recite any particular expression;" he said
his wife wan a good woman and would
tome back to him if ahe got out
of the society of bad people. The
Mcrailands were not, ao far - as
he knew, an 'excitsble.people. •
E. J. Orrly testified to McFarland's
Irrational manner.
Peter °Meanie testified the prisoner
said to him be had nothing lett to live
for; he was • ruined and dishonored man.
Witness asked him to stay at his house,'
and he said be would If he furnished
him with a razor. Witll9lls asked him
what he wanted withal nizor, and prison
er answered it was to put an end to his
life. Witness said to him to live for his
boy, and he jumped up and said he
would; that he woad ,tesch him to
avenge him. HU language was veryjp
coherent, and he did not seem to knnr
what be was sayhig.
Jed/I'D:via, upon cross:examination,
asked witness if be did not know the
property of the prisoner had been at.
tached, and that he bad transferred it.
Mr. Graham objected to the question,
which he said was evidently the emana
lion of the private malice which Judge
Davis represented. The counsel charged
that Judge Davis represented Mrs. Cal
houn, who desired , to screen her repu
tation.
Judge Deviseeld he bad never spoken
to Mrs. Calhoun •in regard to the cue;
and did not represent her.
Mr. Graham called up the District At.
torney to say t( the question had ' his
unction. It was time to know If theob•
Jeot of the prosecution was to enable
certain parties to white.wash their repu
tations.
The Court ruled the question proper.
Witness said he knew nothing of the
prisoner's property having been tutsehed.
The property, he understood, was sold
by prime sale.

The habeas corpus act has been en pen•

and was assented to by the Governor
General , in the name of her Majesty.
Thie afterimon Sir John A. McDonald,
in asking the Parliament for a suspension
of the act, said the government had
received information, on which they
relied, that the peace of the country wee
again in danger from the Menden of
lawless men from the United States be
longing to the Fenian organisation. The
policy of the Fenian body seemed to be
to create as much notoriety as possible
and get up an excitement, by means of
the public preen. Of late they bad
adopted a different and more safe and
secure Connie for them, and he thought
more hazardous for Canada, and that
was to carry on all their arrangements
with great secrecy and ' caution.
Tim Government had information
which they could not for it moment hes.
nate to believe and trust, but which they
could not place before Parliament with.
out certainty of danger to their Infer.
ments,bet the information was complete
and it was to the effect that there was •
fixed resolve on the part of the Fenian
body to invade this country at:an early
day. When that day may come the
Government cannot foresee. It might
be 'today, 'or -14:„-c,fruight :be in
a week, but he believed that
arrangements have been • made for
invasion at an early day. They had
taken steps to resist the invasion, and
that such resistance to the Invasion
would prove succeaeful no one could
hare any doubt of. The Government
having received information, they have
and were bound to take steps
to meet the Invasion, and if
such!stepe would prevent it coming In-
to thecoun try, so much the better. It was

Mr. Hastituta—Before we pass that ree•
oludon, Mr. President, I think we ought
to consider the matter. The city limits
extend to near Jack's Run. Now if we
are going to push themthat far we had
batter look at the additional expense
which will be incurred.
Several other members concurred with
this gentleman; that this expense would
ultimately come off the people and In all
likelihood redound to the advantage of a
"great monopoly" In another city, the

petition from the Ladles Itellef Society
wee received. It bed been referred to the
Oommittee on Poor Perm.
M=iMl=
Mr. Resell objected. He thought if
should bo referred to the Finance Com
mittee. The ladles complained that
there wait. a great deal of "red tape"
about the means of relieving the poor
through the city offices. The ladles
simply wanted some provision made for
the payment to druggists for giving med
icines on prescriptions. Physicians
would give their services free of ckarge,
and the druggists had given a great deal,
but they couldn't be expected to bear the
whole expense. The idea was simply,
the establishment of a sort of free diepen
aary.
Severs/ members animadverted upon
the manner in which the relief of the
poor was conducted in the city by the
authorities.
The paper was finally referred to Com.
mittee on Finance, the action of t3elect
Council being thus nouconcued in.

would be In favor of paying 1500 for it.
Mr. Hunker stated that the company
now held a room which would answer the
purpose, and could be had for POO.
Eieveralverbal amendmenta were made
in the endeavor to got out of the dlfil•
malty.
Mr. McNeil was opposed to renting the
hall sinless. It could be used by all the
companies. He moved an amendment
of the resolution to the effect "that the.

Tux Hon. Henry Wilson, In a late
dress, said: "In spite of much . that is
discouraging, and an Increase of drinking
in some circles, on the whole there is
great progress. There was five Vines as
much drinking in Congress when he en.
tered the Senate, fourteen years ago, as
there is now. And those that now come
into Congress from the Smith have not
brought so much with them. Liquor
shops are now banished from the National
Capitol. Thiele anew thing; and a great
improvement. There are also six thou.
sand pledged temperance men in Wash
ington. Two thirds of the dram shops
have also been closed. Aid he thanked
God that we have Sow a President of the
United States who does not drink a drop,
and a Vice President who does not drink;
and a Secretary of the Treasury who is a
temperance man, and who is not in league
with the whisky ring. We already ace
something of the effect of this in the Im.
proved condition of the revenue end the
Treasury."
A CASE has Just been decided by the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvanht, Justice
Sherwood delivering the opinihn, eatab
Halting the fact that there is no prescribed
form in which the benefit of exemption
of goods from execution under the act of
April 9, 1849, need be claimed, It being
held to be sufficient if the defendant state,
it in such a way that the officer cannot
or ought not to misunderstand It. In case
of doubt whether the claim has beeriso
made, the question is for the Jury, add
referrine to
that
matter, Justice Share
wood beld that the settled construction of
the act of Assembly of Anril 9, 1849, un
doubtedly is, that when a defendant claims
the benefit of the exemption provided by
that law, he must elect to retain such
articles-as he desires, and such election
must be notified to-the officer at the time.
