The secured had the advantage of being defended by Dr, Ho Kel and Counsel explained that when in cases of murder the prisoner had no Counsel, it was stipulated in the law that be should be provided with one at the expense of the Court The deceased woman was the wife of the accused man and Counsel thought that when the jury had heard the evidence, they would be of apiclon that about half-past seven on the even- ing of 18th September last the accused man killed his wife by catting her throst and that the only excuse, the accused could arge for such a deed wis that in his opinion she was a bad woman. It would be shown lo the evidence that she had left her husband thortly before this murder and relased to live

with bio. Sometimes husbands and wiwes could not agree and the fault lay on both sides. The poor woman at least was dead and could not give bes sccount of the murder. Whatever the medis of the rquabble between them it was perfectly clear that the mere fact that the wife refused to live with the husband was no excare for his reizing hér and cutting her throat. It was equally clear that such an ect as that if proved to have been committed in this Colony wilful murder. The deceased woman, Cheung by whatever person, I was in point of w

The wife remained with this family till roth September, on the 11th and Fath she worked at a leather factory and from the 12th to the 18th (the day of the murder) she helved her mother to make slippers and during these fast eight days she slept four nights at her mother's and the other four at a cubicle
