AT the opening of the Court this morning, to
hear the motion for new trial in the case OF
the United States vs. Elizabeth Hall and Emma
Reed, found guilty Of an assault and battery with
intent to kill, the District Attorney moved to set
aside the afidavits put in by the defence on the
ground Of their irrelevancy. This motion was
argued at length by the District Attorney in be-
half Of the prosecution, and responded to by
Messrs. Hoban and Brent for the defence. When
our paper went TO press, Walter Jones, Esq,
had taken up the argumenA for the defence, and
there is little probability of any decision Of the
motion to-day. -
