Joseph Nigh,,—The evidence of this

PRISONpR'S COUNSEL'S ADDRESS.
"Gentlemen of the Jury —You[ observe
the Character of the prisoner has been testi-
fied to.ae being unquestionable a man of in-
tegrity. The father of several children
who, if the prisoner be coavieted, will be
left unprotected. He is charged ,with the
murder Of his wife's father, a crime for -which
he had no inuueements. 'What evidence
have you to convict him? Is it of that re-
putable character as to justify you in. ramm-
ing a verdiet of "guilty". The finding of
the pistol is no evidence, and the constable
says it was not recently used. The eroWn
evidence is two gaol birds. The "Little".

his face, sent to gaol for assaulting his wife

ships of the law which precludes a wife

innocence could be ettablished. But
this is done by Catherine Mellady,
b
ild of the murdered. nian, too
artless to lie, and to young to be hard-
ened in crime. • I hope, gentlemen, your
sense of jeletice lead you to find
the prisoner Not guilty."
TIIE CROWN COUNCIL.
In addreasing the Jury, said. "His learn-
ed friend had dilated on the improbability
of a confession among such ch.aracters as
might be expected to be the inmates of a
gaol, but it Is a principle of human nature to
unbosom a weighty burden, even to ever BO
low or meanan •individual. What obje,t
can a perfectly innocent nian have in makin,
a statement to the effect of bein'g guilty.
The conicience of guilt, urges it to speak.
There - is manY a man /erlio beats his wife
threugh a bad. temper that could not commit
pun( ry. It would not be -wise to allow a
man to go -untried Who has cofessed cora-
plicity. If you believe he went with the
objea of robbery themurder was committed
for its fa -therm -me. you'believe the wit-
nesses gaiity of parjury, "Acquit" if not
it is your solemn duty to Convict."
THE jUDGE2S CHARGE.
His Lordship charged the Jury in accord-
ance- with tho evidence, telling. them, "if
•they believed Donovan ti en they must ac-
quit the prisoner; if, however, they consid-
ered the worth of the evidence of .Lictle an d
McLaren to be greater than his, they must
ret vrn a verdict of "
THE VERDICT. •
The Jury, aftei less than half an hour 'de-
liberation, returned a verdict of "not guilty."
TUE MELLADY JURY
Were deliberating during the whole time of
Kehoe's trial, And at 9 o'clock came in -for in-
structions, in technical law, as to what was
nmessary for a conviction, and twenty min.-
nles after, came in with •
money.
THE VERDICT,
• That Nicholas Mellady was "guilty," where-
upon his Lordship put the usual question to
the p4soner, "If he had. anytning to -say
why the sentence of death should not be
passed upon him."
THE PRISONER
Arose amidst the breathless silence of the
vast audience' of meii, women, and children,
and said. in a clear and distinct voice': "My
Lord and Gentlemen ; as I am convicted, it is
useless for me to say anything, but I must
return lily sincere thanks to Mr. Harrison,
and Messrs Doyle & SqUier, my counsellors.
I have no fault to find with any of the wit-
nesses, save one min aed • one woman.
Though the Jury has found me guilty, God
, knows that I am innocent, and' I ask your
Lordship for &merciful sentence."
• THE SENTENCE.
• His Lordship said, "It is out of my power
to show you mercy, or hold you out hope for
any. Your days are numbered. You stand
there convicted oi the foulest deed that ever
disgraced the annals of crime. paracide. I
have nothing to do with preventing your ap-
plicatien to the Queen's representatives for
mercy, but there are no palliating circuln-
stances in.your case, therefor 1 recommend
you to year Saviour, who alone can give you
mercy. Then is no metal doubt upon my
mind but that the verdict of the Jury is one
of the most righteous recorded.. • Though the
Jury have found Kehoe 'not guilty," in the
eyes of God and man, he is as guilty. as you.
You are now to be taken to the „gaol, Itom
whence you came, and thence on the 7th oay
of Debember noxt be taken to the place of
execution, and be hanged by the neck- till
you are Dead! Dead.!! Dead I! ! and may
God have •mercy on your soul."
