manacled and remanded, and the Court adjourned.
After Prof. Webster had entered the carriage, and was driven
towards the jail, the crowd outside the Court-house dispersed in a
quiet and orderly manner.
The prisoner's deportment, after his return to his cell, was marked
by calmness, and he seemed much bowed down with affliction.
Thoughts of his family were uppermost in his mind. Many distin-

wife and daughters of Prof. Webster visited him, and passed several
hours in his cell. They retired at sunset.
Thus ended a trial which has probably created greater interest and
excitement than any event that has occurred for years in the city
of Boston.
