At five minutes past three the Solicitor-General intimated that the case for the prosecution was closed. Sir Edward Clarke then spoke
for the defence.
Sir Edward Clarke submitted in regard to Shelby there was no corroboration.
His Lordship said Shelby must be treated as an accomplice, and at present he could see no corroboration.
The Solicitor-General submitted that Shelby was not an accomplice, and if he was there was corroboration.
His Lordship said he still held Shelly should be treated as an accomplice, and there was no corroboration. This charge would, therefore,
be withdrawn.
Sir E Clarke said in the case of Wood he should again submit that there was no corroboration of the charge.
The Solicitor-General protested against the charges being withdrawn other than by the jury under direction of the judge. In the case of
Wood he submitted that there was ample corroboration.
His Lordship said he should leave this case to the jury, but he should point out to them in what direction it went.
The Court adjourned until to-morrow.
