The trial of Harrison for the murder of James Hill, closed on Friday last. The testimony was substantially the same as published in our last issue. The Jury after an absence of fourteen hours failed to agree, standing ten for acquittal and two for conviction, and were accordingly discharged. In view of the time and expense of the trial, it was decided to drop the matter, and the prisoner was accordingly released from custody.
