magistrates at petty-sessions , and vhkfc , from bedng given in detail at the time the investigation first took place , must be fr-esh in the recoSeetioir- of oux readers , it would be useless here to recapitulate it . The trial lasted the whole of Thursday ; ano ! was resumed on Friday , when the examination of witnesEes for the prosecution closed- For the defence several gentlemen of high respectability gave . the Hollands excellent characters for morality and good temper . The verdicts were as follows : — " We find the prisoners , Philip Heary Holland and Frances Holland , guilty , on the count of having committed the assault so as to inniet on the prosecutors grievous bodily harm ; guilty , also , on the count for having coinmitted a common assault ; and not guilty on the count for an assault such as to endanger the Ufe of the children . <
The announcement of the verdict was received in Bolemn silence and the utmost decorum , although it was observable at a glance that the multitude in court concurred with the Jury in their view of the case ; all except the unhappy prisoners aad their immediate friends . The former seemed q uite absorbed and thoughtful , but did not in any other way indicate a sense of their humiliating situation . The father of Mrs . Holland , oa hearing the verdict , appeared quite bewildered , the agitation of his mind being quite manifest in his manner . Philip Henry Holland ( the prisoner ) , Andrew Stoney , and Standish O'Grady , Esqs ., were then severally bound in the sum of £ 5 , 060 each , that both prisoners should appear next morning at a quarter before i ) ine , without any pretext or excuse whatever , to receive the judgment of the Court . The pri&nners then retired , accompanied by their solicitor , and the Court was adjourned .
SENTENCE ON HE . AND MBS . HOLLAND . On Saturday , tbe Hon . Justice Perrin entered the Court at a few minutes after nine o ' clock , at which time the interior was crowded to excess in every part by a most respectable aad anxious auditory .

HORRIBLE MURDER , Tbagedy in Rbai Life . —It is seldom that we are called upon to record so shocking a murder as was committed on the eastern shore of Maryland on * he 4 th inst ., the details of which have been furnished to us by a letter of the 5 th inst . from George Town , Cross Roads , Kent County . The victim was Mr . Jas . P . Wroth , and the perpetrator of the foul deed , . Edgar Newman , son of a widow lady now residing in Philadelphia . The moving cause of the horrid event was jealousy , so truly described by the master spirit of the dram * as " the green-eyed monster , which doth mock the meat it feeds on / ' It appears that Nowraan , while on a visit to that neighbourhood , became acquainted with a young lady by the
name of Xavinia Piner , daiighter of the late B . ( Finer , of tKont County . Intercourse tended to increase the passion of love which had been slumbering in his bosom , aad tho same intercoupae assured ; kim that his passion was unrequited . In the meantime he perceived an intimacy between Miss Piner and the unfortunate deceased , and revenge'Seized hia soul . In an interview with Miss Piner ^ ihe stated iiis feelings , and concluded by asserting ihat he would satiate his reveuge either on Missfeaieror Me Wroth . When the hour for tea arrivecUhey ali assembled , and . Newmsui and Wroth took seats together at the lable , apparently on ^ ood terms . pOhey remained togother i » th « room until ten o ' clock . Newman then retired , apparently with
tke mteetaon or hq \ b& to bed , m company with aM ^ Penningtoa . He , however , did not go . to bed , but remained « Bt of door some time ,, and then came to th&'room where Penniugton was , and endeavoured io open his trunk . Be succeeded in this and taking from , it ft bottle * he swallowed some liquor , and smacking hie dips , observed , " Now I will try again . " JJp then went out , and in a very short time came to Ihe window of 4 he roo » in which Wroth was sitting mib the family , indndisg threo females , and , preaeotiog a gun wki deliberate aim , fired and literally bjesr the head of too urrfertunate viotim to atoms j tWibraitsfl were « watteted . « vcr the room , and on those who were , sitting around . Mis 3 Lavinia was sitting onaJawcnairinaiiDe wit 2 » thoshot . whieh bassed
over her , and jthe sup position is , that the design Was to kill both by the same discharge . Immediately npoajfiaug , Newman ran to the room where PenpiDgton iras jn bed , and exclaimed . " Ihave doneit !" Penniflctwn asked , " Done what Y and Newman re ^ - plied ;' ; " lulled . Wroth . " He insisted updnM&eiric arreeted , aad followed Pennington to the door of the room , and asked if Wroth was 4 ead . He wasshortlv after tied hand and foot and taken to Chestertowp gaol . He did not express much zegret at the ocourreace until m spoke of his mother , when remorse seeved to seize him . A coroner ' s jury sat upon the body of the deceased , who gave a vfirdict in accordance with the above facts .: Sineo tho publication of the above wehava been made acquainted with some further Darticulars in relation to the melancholy affair . It U supposed that Newman , when he left the
family room , went to a barn near by , and from thence bronght the gnu , and left it near the wiudow ; brooding over his intended act , and probably making the attempt to fire , his courage failing , he retreated to his room , and there resorted to a stimulus , in order to drown the twitching ol" that inward monitor "which doth make cowards of us all . " The expression , I will try again , " leads to tho inference that he had made the trial before . When he was arrested he acknowledged his agency in f-iie act , and remarked that he would not havedone it , bat he thought David Paul Brown , the- eminent lawyer of Philadelphia , would be abje to , clear him . On the morning after the murder , ; and when ho was on his ^ ay to the gaol in Chestertown , he said " Let the law have its courae—he was a man—he did hot kill Wroth , but had threatened to have revenge . " Apprehensions were felt that be might escape from gaol , and , in
