Robert Merry , a constable , said , he was in the next room when the pistols % vere firedand met the deceased in the passagewho told him he was shot

, , ; that he took him to a house in the neighbourhood ,- but that he died ill about ten minutes afterwards , before any medical assistance could be got . Baron Perryn , - in his charge to thi Jury , said , that the only circumstance for their consideration was , who had actually fired the pistol . by which the deceased was killed ; at the same time reminding them , that the witness Windsor had positively sworn the prisoner at the bar did so . The Jury , after two minutesconsideration , pronounced the prisoner—Guilty . Mr . Knowles ; on the part of

the prisoner , moved an arrest of judgment , on tbe ground of the record beingwrong . The objection was over-ruled .

Little , you shall be served , go downstairs , I'll come to you , which he did ; that he heard a noise , and went up to the door . —M'Evoy called out , Who is there?—Mrs . King said , nothing was the matter ; she would come down to himwhich she did in and said she would be his
