It occupied the court from noon till half past oe in the morning, when the charge" of the court was delivered to the jury. The indictment contained two distinct charges; the first for an assault and battery, and se condly, for an assault and battery with an in- tetif to murder, ihe court, in charging the ntry, took the same distinction respecting the word intent, in the indictment, that was taken by the late mayor, in Rogers' reports, name ly, that Iherc is ah actual intent and an ; im plie"il one ; and gave his opinion that there was no evidence oj the former, and it was left for the jury to judge whether there was any of the latter j for his own part, he was in clined to think there was not. The jury re turned into court after an absence of twenty minutes, and; by Mr. Eckiord, their foreman, delivered the following verdict. That the defendant is not guilty of assault "and battery with an intent to murder, hut guilty of an as sault and battery of the highest nature.'. As we understand there is a report of the (rial at length preparing, which will shortly appear in a pamphlet form, we refrain, for the present, at least, from going into the facts. The jury was one of the most respectable that was eyerdrawrt out the box,, and, we are in formed,wircTihanimous in their feelings and sentiments. The counsel for the prosecution gave specimens otbar eloquence, more bril liant and powerful , than is often witnessed. Messrs.
