At the assizes at Goderic the case of Duncan. McDonald for the, murder of - Roderick Munro at Port Albert, in the township ofeAshfield, came oi for trial on Thursday. The particul rs of the case which Were given in thee columns -at the time of thetrial, may be .recapit- -elated. as follows: The affair took pia e at the residence of the deocased, ne Port Albert:, on the night of he 26th of July, and Munro died. from ihe injuries he received on the 26th of Deceraber last. McDonald,- the priso er, Who is quite a To -nog man,boarded at the house of the -deceasedaand also keOt a team - there with which he was engaged in ',hauling tan bark.. On the 4evening of the date first mentioned the prisoner, who had been drinking i a tavern in _ the village a short distance from ,the de- ceased's house, was taken hOme by an- other Youttg, man, and left there.- About 10 o'clock the young man Who had ac- companied McDonald , froin the tavern to Munro's heard. quarreling. at the house of the deceased, and gpipg there t with smile others fouhd .Munre lying in. -a pool of blood at the baek of his house, and McDonald with, a Piece of board in his hand With Which he was apparentlyjust abont to strike the prostrate man. be the presence. of thesearitnestes and of the prisoner,Munro made e remark to the effect hat,"Dunc had done for him. .now."

When the formula which pronou-ned his doom was concluded; he sat down and remained crOuched from sight behind the high sides of the dock ; uotil the spectators in the court room had left, when he was ledaway to•the jail through the crowd outside, with the expression of his features apparently unaltered. Mr. VanNorman, Q. C., of Brantford, acted as Crownprosecutor,arid the pris- oner was defended by Dr. McMichael, Q. C., instructed by Mr. C. Seager, jr., of Goderich. • ' McDonald is not much, if anything, over five feet in height, and not very stoutly built, whereas Munro is said to have had a stature of about 6 feet 3, and to have been proportionately well built. The only person, perhaps, who could have thrown light on, the question as to Whether there was any justification for the commission of this crime, the wife of the deceased, was not in court at any time during the trial. • The counsel for the Crown said that every effort had. been made to find her, but in vain. It is said, however, that the is in Woodstock. If she could have given any testimony which would have tended to mitigate the gravity of the of fence proved aeainst, the prisoner, and if there is any truth in a rumor that is current as to the relations existing be- tween her and the latter before the as- sault ou her husband, her absence from the trial may be capable of explanation. The two boys who were exanained as witnesses have been living since the death of their father with persous at Port Albert. •iTALITABLE FARM FOR SALE. -For Sale, Lot 11, Con. .8, H. R.
