The frets of the'case are, that: upon my arriving; home at:4.80 a.m. and nieeting Mr. Malins coming out of the building, I did not, ask any questions, |} but attacked him; immediately after- wards I found that Mr. Malins had every tight tobe on tle premises at that hour, as he had met the east- bound train, which, on’ this particular morning, ‘had arrived one. and. three quarters ‘of an hont- late, oe otlier: person’ to! blime, ‘or tn ‘any: ‘Sway cat fault: for the: mistake Which I made, \and. that, the.. whole ‘affalr was a com- plete’ misunderstanding and : -Arror -an my part, - . - I also might add, that Mr, Malins. supports me in this, that regardless of previous ‘TUMOFS, there was, no instru- ment used. .
