Since, then, however, MALCOLN has nude passionate speeches defending his wife's reputation, and he appears to have been convinced that the "Count" was solely to hfame. He re turned from the front with the intention of fighting dual with the tempter. Instead of doing this, however, he went to the boarding-house where the Russian Pole lived in order to horsewhip him, and, in the curse of the struggle, shot him. The plea raised for the defence was that MALCOLM went merely to chastise, nol to kill, and was obliged to shoot in order to save his own life. The dertlet of the jury will, no doubt, meet with general approval, notwithstanding that anarchy would result if every injured person were to take the law into his own hands. While extreme provocation reduces the gravity of an offence in law, it is usual, where the facts are proved, for the accused to be found guilty with a recommendation to mercy. The MALCOLM case will un doubtedly find a place in the list of PORT.historic murder trials, for, although no attempt was made to appeal to “the unwritten law, sentiment undoubtedly swayed the jury.
