On be. mg asked by the clerk of the court whether they had agreed upon their verdict—the foreman of the Jury said they had not agreed--that since eleven o'clOck of the previous day they stood 10 to 2, and there appeared to be no prospect of an agreement amongst them. Judge Patton inquired whether there was any difficulty exasong in the minds of any of the jurors which the court could explain. The foreman did not know that any such diffi culty existed. udge Patton said the usual noun which Aron should pursue was, that a small mmonty should submit to the majority. It was unreasonable bit one or twomea to expect to make all the rest bend to their opinion. He did not know—nut did he with to know at present—how the division stood —whether the majority were in favor of acquittal or conviction; but he thought, in a ease of this sort, where a man had received such an excellent ch.- enter as had been given to the defendant, where it was clear that ho was not ordinarily, at least, a man of violence, if the majority were for . acquittal, the other. should yield: becuuse it was hard, and indeed not contemplated by the law, that a men should be reduced to the condition of a felon, in such a case, who had hitherto borne such an ex. cellent character, unless the evidence was perfiect and complete; and the km of so large a majority being in favor of acquittal—preanming that to be the state of thing•—was pretty good proof of its completeness. Mr. War. U. Grey, one of the furors, Raid he could not, consistently with his oath, on viewing the testimony as he understood it, render a ver. diet of acquittal. Indeed from the evidence he was confirmed in his opinion—..ualeas he had nits understood it. Judge Patton again repeated, that it would strike every man as remarkably unreasonable that a small minonty should control a large majority; and, to say the least of it, taking the case as it stood, it was involved in a great deal of uncertainty, and they were lett to roam over a wide field of conjec ture, as to the real circumstances of the C/1.0, and the true character of the cause of death—whether the deceased rushed into the water to make his escape, or whether he was forced into tka water by the defendant, or whether the whole was the result of accident. To decide this, he would not take upon himself, in the sight of his maker, according as the evidence now stood, and it linty doubt existed the jury ought to know that the prisoner was lolly entitled to the benefit of such doubt, and the court was more nutmeg on that wore, on account of the previous character of the man. like had been a lawless and violent roan. no doubt we would rather see such a nano punish ed, .1 there were the least ground for finding a ver diet against him, but the court were always un• willing to see a man of unantwachabie charnater— good man, a mild man, degraded from this condi ! tion to that of a felon. unless the evidence against him were clear and satisfactory The foreman of the j ury then Intimateti to the court the r sv‘ah ur go beck to their room.
