Yesterday afternoon our venerable Town Hall presented a rather lively appearance. The Supreme Court, owing to the dilapidsited and mate condition of the Court House, sat there, and Joshua's case was on. The evidence for the prosecution was finished and Mr. Atchison sued up in support. Mesars. Davidson and Kodyk called no witnesses, but the former made most able speech for the defence, and, in the Jury's opinion apparently, made out solear case for the prisoner from a legal point of view. The Chief Justice spored up impartially. and the Juxy, Buble to agree, retired to argne and discuss their decision. Nearly the whole Square manifested their interest in the Lotrious case by going over to hear the verdict of the sapient Jury who heard the ease. Up to @ o'clock they were unable to agree, and the Court adjourned till half-past eight, a ramenr being current that eleven of them wore for "Not Guilty" and one for "Guilty." Prosise- ly at imlf-phat eight o'clock is Honor Chief Justion Sidgreaves took his seat on the Beach, and Mr. Registrar Baumgarten called over thu names of the Jury.
