“Gentlemen of the jury,” sung out the clerk of art-signs, "are you all agreed upon your verdict? ’ “We are agreed, my lord," said the for man. "Prisoner," inquired the judge, “do you call any other witness?” "I do not, my lord.” “l‘hen, gentlemen," said the judge, turn- ing to the jury, “the one remark that I shall make to you is thisâ€"that if you believe the story of the prisoner's witness, there can be little doubt but that the prisoner was the man whom the witness saw at the corner of Heuraki Street at eight o'clock on the night in question; and if that was so, it is clear, on the ease of the prosecution. that he can- not have committed this murder. I should not be doing my duty if I did not point out to you that the Witness in question is likely, to say the least, to be without bias in the prisoner’s favour, and that his evidence is very strongly corroborated indeed by the prisoner's answers to the written questions put to him. Gentlemen, you will new con- sider your verdict. ” ' “Those answers. ” I concluded, “are ab- solutely correct In every particular. The man whom I saw under the lamp, at eight o'clock on the night of the murder, behaved as the answers indicate. That concludes the evidence I have felt bound to tender.” And I handed the slip of paper to the usher for inspection by the jury. “Question. Did you afterwards smoke?â€" Answer. I had no light. "Question. Did you try to get a light?â€" Answer Yes, by climbing a lamp at the corner; but I was not steady enough, and I remember I broke my hat against the cross- bar. “Question. \Vhere did you carry your piggfind tobacco?â€"4qawer._ I_n _my bat. » "Question. \Vere you smoking when you came up to the corner of Hauraki Street?â€" Answer. No. ‘Si-lenéé!” cried the usher. The judge was {gturning._ _ My evidence was to the eflect already stated. As I described the man I had seen under the lamp, with my face averted from the prisoner and turned 1:) the jury, I saw that they were making a. careful comparilon, and that. allowing for the change wrought by twelve years, they lound that the de- scription tallied closely with the man’s ap- pearance. - “I produce this paper, on which I just now wrote certain questions, to which the prisoner wrote the answers under my eyes. These are the questions and answers: All rose as the judge retired; and during his absence I esczped the questions which‘ assailed me from every side by burying my- self in a consultation with my counsel. “'hen he heard what the reader knows, he fully upheld me in what I propvsed to do; and then threw himself back in his seat with the air of a. man whom nothing could ever astonish agaip. “l have decided,” said he. “to allow the questions to be put as Mr. Bentley proposes. Let them be written out and submitted to me for my approval.” I walked up to the doek and gave the 11 into *he prisoner’s hands, together with my pencil. He read them carefully through, and wrote his answers slowly and with conâ€" sideration. “Web the paper in my hand, I gob’into th‘e witness-box and was sworn. “I propose,” said the judge, “before de- ciding this extraordinary point, to consult with the learned Recorder in the next court.” I sat dowu and wrote my questions, and they were passed up to the judge. As he read them, he looked more surprised than ever. But all he said, as he handed them down, was, “Put the questions.” “Really, gentlemrn of the jury," said his lordship, "this matter is assuming a more and more remarkable aspect. I hardly krow what to say. T. at. a prisoner on trial for his life should answer questions put to him in private by the prosecuting solicitor is the mcst extraordinary proposal, I am bound to say, which ever came und\ r my notice. It is the more ditficult for me to decide btczuse the prisoner has not the advantage of coun- sel’s assistanceâ€"Prisoner. is it your wish that this gentleman should be called as a witness (n your behalf? You have heard what he has said about certain questions which he Wishes to put to you belorehaud. Of course you are not bound to answor any such questions; and may nevertheless call him. What do you say?" “I am in G Jd’s hands, my lord," answered the prisoner, who was quite calm again. “It may be that He has raised up a deliver-er for meâ€"I cannot tell. But I know that it He wills that I should die. no man can save me; if He wills to save me, nought can do me harm. So I am ready to answer any questicns the gentleman wishes.” AWitness for the Defence. “My lord,” I replied, “I am certain that, believmg what I have had cause to believe within the last five minutes, I should be greatly to blame if I did not testify on oath to certain facts which are within my own knowledge. But if the prisoner chooses to call me as a. witncss, your lordship will pres- ently understand why it is that. with all submission, I cannot at this moment, or un- til Iam in the box, give my reasons. And I must add that the value of my evidence to the prisoner will greatly depend on his answers to certain questions which I wish, with your lordship's sanction, to put to him in writing. And if he answars me as I ex pect, I believe my evidence will put an and to the also against him.” IN THREE CHAP'lERS-â€" CONCLUSION. To say that there was a “sensation” would feebly describe what fo‘lowed. Every one in court sprang to his feet. The priscner looked as if he had seen a. ghost. There was a perfect hubbub of voices, as bar and jury talked among themselves. and my brethren at the solicitors‘ tsblepoured questions upon meâ€"to none of which I replied. Silence being restored, the vows of the judgeâ€"grave and dignified, but with a perceptible tremor â€"descended like vocal oil 0n \he troubled waves of sound. ‘Who instructs you, Mr. Clincher? ' “Mr. Bentley, my lord.” The judge looked more astonished than ever. My name was familiar enough to him as a. judge, and he had known it even better when, as a leading barrister, he had hlld many a brief from me. “1 am persuaded," said he, “that a gen- tlcman of Mr. Bentley’s repute and experi- ence has good reason for what he does. But so extraordmary and unheard-ofâ€" I wwll ask Mr. Bentley himself if he really con- siders that; duty requires him to offer him- self as a witness, and when and why he came to that conclusion?” By the light of this narrative, that which had puzzled me became perfectly clearâ€" namely, how it was that he had contrived not only to get so entirely lost in spite of the hue and cry after him, but also to remmu in ignorancs of his aunt's fate. “Sorry it I put you out of the way, sir; ‘ but I thought_you‘d like to tear what‘s hap- i pened. The prosecutor in Harden‘s case i has given himself up for the murder!” “\Vhat?" I shouted. ' “He just has, sir. It's a queer day, this is. “'hen I heard you get up and give \ evidence for the man you were prosecuting, , I thought curiosities were over for ever; but seems they ain’t, and never will be.” “How was it?" "\Vell, he came into the station quite quiet, and seemed a bit cast down, but that was all. Said fate was against him, and had saved the man he thought to hang in his steadI and he knew how it must end. and couldn't wait any longer. I cautioned him, of courseâ€"told him to sleep on it be- fore he said anything; but make astatement he would. The short of it all is, that the idea. of murdering the old lady for her money had come into his mind in a flash when he saw that poor drunken fool exhibiting his knife in the tavern. He followed him, and picked his pocket of the knife, and then huiig about the house, meaning to get in after dark. Then he saw the girl come out and go off, leaving the door closed but not latched, the careless husst Then in slips the gentleman, and does what he'd made up his mind toâ€"ior you see the old woman knew him well, so he couldn’t afford to leave her aliveâ€"gets the cash and slip: out. All in gold it was, two hundred and fifty pounds. When he heard that Harden couldn't be found, he got uneasy in his mind, and has been getting worse eve since, though he did well enough in trade with the money. Seems he considered he wasn’t safe until some one had been hanged. So, when he recognised Harden, he was naturally down on him at once, and was intensely eager to get him convictedâ€"which I noticed myself, air, as of course you did. and thought it queer too, I don’t doubt. He took too much pains, you seeâ€"he must employ you to make certain, instead of leaving it to us; whereas if he hadn’t come to you, your evidence would never have been given, and I think you’ll say nothing child have saved the prisoner.” It was true enough. The wretched man had insured the failure of his own fiendish design by employing me, of all the solicitms to whom he might have gone! I learned next morning, how Harlan, af- ter trying in vain to light his pipe on that mrmorable evening, had wandered for hours through the bard-hearted streets, until at. daybreak he hail found himself in the docks, looking at a large ship preparing to drop down the river with the tide. How he had managed to slip aboard unseen and stow himself away in the hold, with some idea of bettering his not overlbright fortunes in foreign pirts, How he had supportcl his life in the hold with stray fragments of his- cuit, which he happened to have in his pock- ets, until, after a day or two of weary beat- ing about ag sinst baffling winds, when they were out in mid-channel, the usual search for stowaways had unearthed him. How the captain, after giving him plenty of strong language and rope's-end, had at length agreed to allow him to work as a sailor on board the vessel. How on landing at Syd- ney he had gone into the interior, tiken ser- vics with his present masterâ€"under another name than his own, wishing to discounecs himself entirely with his former lifeâ€"and by hcnastly doing his duty had attained hit present position. As soon as I could get in a. word, I curtly explained that it was no part of a’ lawyer’s duty to try to hang a. man Whom he knew to be innocent. As he only replied with abusive language, I ordered him out: of the office. The office quieted itself once moreâ€"- being far tm busy, and also too well accus- tomed to eccentric people to have time for long wonderment at anythingâ€"and in an hour I had finished my work, and was pre- paring to leave for home. when another visi- tor was announcedâ€"Inspector Forrester. “Well, Mr. Forresterfwbabh the matter now} I’m_ jgst going off." As strange a part of my story as any, has yet to be told. Ihad hardly got back to my oflice and settled down to read over the various letters which were awaiting my signature, when my late client (Harden’a projecutor) was announced. I had lost sight of him in the excitement which followed the acquittal. He did not wait to learn wheth- er 1 was engaged or not, but rushed after the clerk into my room. He was ashen white or rather gray. and his knees shook so that he cmld scarcely stand; but his eyes positively blazed with wrath. Leaning over my talle, he proceeded, in the presence of the astonished clerk, to pour upon me a flood of abuse and invective of the foulest kind. I was a swindliug thief of a lawyer, whom he would have struck afl‘ the rolls, due; until I really thought he had gone out of his mind. ' “We are. ” “And that verdict is?" “Not guilty.” “And that is the verdict of you all?” “It is.” There followed a burst of cheering which the usher could not silence, but which si- lenced itself as the judge was seen to be speaking. “John Hardenâ€"I am thankful, every man in this court is thankful, that your trust in the mercy and power of the All-merciful and All-powerful has not been in vain. You stand acquitted of a foul crime by the unhesitating verdict of the jury, and most wonderful has been your deliverance. You go forth a. free man; and I am glad to think that the goodness of God has been be- stowed upon one who has repcnted of his past sins, and who is not likely, I hope and believe, to be unmindful of that goodness hereafter.â€"You are discharged.” Had he been left to himself, I think the prisoner’s old master would have climbed into the deck, with the view of personally. delivering his servant out of the house of bondage, But he was restrained by a. sym- pathetic constab'e, while John Harden was re-conveyed for a short time to the jail. to undergo certain necrzsssry formalities con- nected with his release from custody. I volunteered to take charge of Mr. Slocum, and took him to the vestibule of the prison, overwhelmed during the short walk by thanks and praises. We were so n joined by Harden, Whose meeting with hgs master lyi'oughtalump into the throat even of a tough criminal lawyer like myself. I saw them into a. cab, and they drove off to Mr. Sltcum’s hotel, after promising to call on me the next (lav, and enlighten me on eermin point; as to which I was still in the dirk, As strange a part of my story as any, has yet to be told. Ihad hardly got back to mv ofllce and settled dovsn to read over the My client was tried, convicted, and exa- 'lhe Sabbathlessness of Paris strikes a stronger oddly and painfully; the ear and brain wait for the recurring seventhday lull in the noises of the week, but it does not come. The rattle of business carts and the rumble of drays, the cries and cells of it ine~ rant vendors, the hammering and pounding of mason] and carpenters, go on Without in- termission ; the one voice which is unheard is the smud of church-hells. I tried to get a notion of the systam and ltlDlBthS of at- t uriance on public worship and cessation of labour on Sunday in Paris, but could come to no concluaion as to whether there is a gen- eral custom in either or not. There are so mmy services between six in the morning and one o'clock, with vespers and the bene- diction leter in the afternoon that the whole working population might attend them by detachments without causing any apparent pause in its toil. There was one tribute to the day which could be noticed even from an upper windowâ€"a. greater display of clean blousesâ€"but whether this was in recognition of it; sacred or its festive character I cannot 51y. When a man has meant anything strongly, there’s never any real going back again for him.

One American has been ad- mitted to this hallâ€"namely \Vashington. In this hall is a. large painting twenty-seven feet long, showing the battle of Pueblo, on the Cinca de Mayo, when the Mexicans, es- feated the French. It is to be remembered that in this battle, when the rational exis- tence was at etxke, the Mexicans, especi illy the Indians, fought with ere courage than everlbefore. At (in side of the painting is afbust of G en. Largo on, the leader of [he Mmicans in this battle.

This square is the most beautiful in the city, being laid out after the European fashion, ornamented with flowering shrubs and eu calypius trees and adorned with statues by the unfortunate Carlotta. This is also the place where the famous Teocoli. or sacred place of the Aztecs, was situated, and where at least twenty thousand of human victims were annually slaughtered. Passing in at the central entrance of this building. where dusky soldiers were walking their beats, manyothers “cflduty” were lounging around giving it more the appearance of a. monarch- ial palace than a republican capitol, we saw before us the central. patio or court. It is about one hundred feet square, surrounded by large, heavy stone pillars, thirty feet high, supporting on its round-headed arches a magni cent balcony. This also being faced with arches produces a. very imposing aspect. Here we were introducfll to the otIiCEr of the day, who kindly showed us the interesting parts of the palace. An opportunity was here aflorded us for seeing Maximilian's carriage of state, con- cerning the magnificence of which to much has been said. As the guard opened a heav- ily-IOcked door our eyes fell upon a. car- riage ofgreat splendor, at least ten feet high andatwenty feet long, ornrmentzd with rich gildings covering all the wood-work, figures of cherubs, arms of Mexico, surmounted by heavy silver-work and eight Very large pm- nels of plate glass. These are thick enough to deflect a rifle ball not striking it perpen- dicularly, and even then the only danger there would be from the pieces of broken glass. The inside was trimmed with rich white damask and silver braid. This ele- gant carriage, drawn along the pzsos with its prancing steeds, with uniform drivers, lireried (acumen, and the royal personage clad in rich robes of state, was designed to impress the lovers of parade and show. Where Thousands of Human Victims Were Slaughtered. The "Palacio Del Gobemo" of republican Mexico was built by its kingly oppressors. This magnificent structure, occupying an en- tire square 675 feet in length, built around half a dozen interior patios, or open courts, was commenced by the Aztecs and finished by Cortez and his Spanish vice-royal success- ors.
