A disnute thereupon arose between him and the captain of the Backet Company and a . good deal of con tention and excitement ensued.. In tbe meantime another flat was seized by a part of the crowd and was being pushed from the opposite side of the. dock and alongside of Taylor's flat, which was next to' the' wharf, aod some contention was still, in- progress on Taylor's flat, and Taylor himself was in tbe act of pulling " his flat up to the wharf with a fiat pole, with hook attached, when; a cry was beard from the wharf lat -spmebody was fighting the captain, meaning Captain Nixon, of the Bucket Company. At this a man on tbe outside flat, represented by several of the witnesses to have been John Grady'.'who was helping to push the . flat along with a fireman's pole, with a hook attached, sung ont "Who is it ?" and at the same moment elevated hjS j?ole and struck John Taylor on the head. Deceased immediately dropped backward in the bow of the flat, and would have fallen overboard had he not been seized by the legs and hauled into the flat by David Kixon, the Captain of the Buck et Company. Tbe "'stricken man lin gered! from? Saturday night, the time the blow ( was inflicted, until the following Tuesday, when he died, his skull being fractured by the blow.' 'The defence introduced witnesses to prove; that ' Taylor was struck" by some other person on- the flit, and not by Grady, one witness testifying that George Hays, a colored, fireman, struck the fatal blow. At the preliminary examination and also at the Coroner's inquest the same testimony was elicited, but was not considered suffl- cieot to Warrant holding Hays for trial, the preponderance of evidence being against Grady. . The examination of witnesses occupied the kreater part of the day. At the close in the afternoon the jury were addressed bv tha donnsel for the orisoner. Messrs. Strange Holmes and McR, in the order namejlJ ' Coll McRae began bis argument about 9 o'clock in the evening, and spoke about an hour and forty minutes, when, at his own suggestion the hour being late and many points of law being yet to be' discussed tbe CpUrt was adjourned until this morn r ing ' at 9 o'clock, when Col.
