Pr THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS. folkneing animated description of the Battle of Algiers, under Lord Exmoor*, is from the pen of the late unfottunate Juni Macau, alias " The Sailor Poet :* High rolled the day—all smiling seen, With beams and bowers of ever-green, Lay stretched in light the land; Blazed to the Sun's unclouded glow The billow. breast, whose heaving. slow, Came parleying towards the strand; As if in reconcikmrat sweet, To clasp and kiss the dark rock's feet, -And pardon and oblivion pray Far rude assault of stormier day.

And the red fragments war the sight With forked hideousness of light NEWCASTLE, Noviiina 7. -.....- Yesterday a highly respectable meeting of the Coal 'Owners of the Tyne. and a deputation of the Ship Owners, was held at the Assembly Rooms in this town. . Matthew Bell, Esq. M.P. was in the Chair. As the public were not admitted, we are unable to state pre scisely what passed, but as it appeared to us a matter of some consequence to know, we have made diligent in quiries, and understand that the principal resolution come to was, to make a representation to the London factors not to bring their coals to market so rapidly, as they have lately been doing. Both the Coal and Ship' Owners, it must be admitted, have suffered greatly from the recent low prices of coals. How far this plan will improve their condition, time will spew. The capture of partridges, ac. in the public streets still continues to be singularly frequent. On Wednes day evening last, tour partridges were caught by some boys, in Coronation-street, and two in Sans-street, Sun derland. In this town a covey of partridges has for some nights roosted in a shrubbery, close to a public road ; and a pheasant has been seen, we are told, in the Forth. As a Gentleman was going out a coursing, a few days ago, he met a hare in Westgate-street, which was pursued by his dogs, and killed in Thornton-street. A melancholy accident happened in the Jane I'it, at Hetton colliery, on Monday week, when two men were killed instantaneously, and three others most dreadfully bruised, by the fall of a quantity of earth and stones from the roof of the mine. The names of the unfortu nate persons who lost their lives, were Thomas Harling and Matthew Forster, the former of whom has left a wife and four children. There was a very mortifying instance of the manner In which people may be imposed on by tricky horse dealers, afforded in the Horse-fair in this town on Tues day last. A man parted with a really good horse for a very showy animal, and some money to boot, to one of these gentry, who warranted his showy charger tote perfectly sound. The moment after the less knowing countr) man had finished the bargain, be discovered that the horse he had got in exchange was worthless, merely fed up to look well, and he sought to have his own restored. To this proposal the horse-dealer, of cuurse, would not accede. The police were then called in, but they could not interfere, and properly told the per-on who had been duped, that his only redress was an ction at law. - At the late Bristol Sessions, a man was indicted, and sentenced .to thiee months' imprisonment, for having re ceived ss. awl sometimes 7s. 6d. a-week, as a paupen t + when he was, in fact, in the regular receipt of 12s. a• week for his lationr. Early on Sunday morning last, the house of Mr. Kirby, furrier, No. 54, Newington-causeway, was en tered, and a quantity of fuss were stolen out ohs articles were as under :—Forty muffs, consisting of black fer rets, brown sables, mini, fetch, squirrels, squirrel backs, mock ermine, &c. also 12 mock sable flounces, two squirrel flounces, two squirrel tippets, sir ferret tippets, and various other articles, all of which have a private mark, and can be sworn to. The goods were all fresh made, and fit for immediate sale, chiefly lined with crimson silk. In my youth I often saw Glover on the stage : he was a surgeon, and a good writer in the London pe siodical Papers; when he was at Cork, a man was hanged for sheep-stealing, whom Glover smuggled into field. and, by surgical skill restored to life, though the culprit bad hung the full time prescribed by law. A few nights after, Glover being on the stage acting Polonius, the revived sheep-stealer, full of whisky, broke into the pit, and in a loud voice called out to Glover, “ Mr. Glover ' you know you are my second father ; you have been the means of bringing me back into the world. Sir ; so, by the piper of Blessington, you ate bouud to maintain me." The Sheriff was in the house at the time, but app:ared not to hear this ap peal ; and on the fellow persisting in his outcries, he, t h roug h a principle of clemency, slipped out of the Th eatre . The crowd at length forced the man away, telling hint that if the BlsesW found him alive, it was his duty to hang him over again.—O'Kedys Ro;colke. EQISDURGH; Novsuseß 6. Moadayom a complaint at the instance of General Gordon Clueing Skene, with concurrence of the Fiscal of Peace, against Gee. Williamson, for killing game on his property, without.qualification or leave.; the Justices in consideration of Williau'son's confession, decerned against him for the modified penalty of two guineas, and the expense of the complaint. The complaint was laid both on the Act 1621, and IS Geo. 111. besides charging trespass. It is a mistaken idea to suppose that the being possessed of a game certificate affords protection to a person shooting. He must also have nbtained leave from the proprietor of the lands over which he shoots, otherwise he is liable to an action. At a Justice of Peace Court, held at Huntly, upon the 16th ult. Cockburn, residing at Largue, in Ca brach, was convicted in the statutory penalty of 1001. Scots, for hunting and shooting at deer, in the Duke of Gordon's forest of Glenfiddich ; and upon the 28th ult. James Nl , Combie, at Ardwell, in the same parish, was convicted in a similar penalty, for the like offence. On the 25th instant, the body of a young man, who had evidently been a sailor, was found lying within water-mark, near the shooting-lion - se in Kincraig Links. The young man ha/ on a blue flannel shirt, marked with the letters T. R. a black silk h indkerchitf, blue vest, and canvass trousers. The corpse was carefully removed to Kilconquhar, and interred in the Church yard there. A shipmaster brought his bark into Stonefiaven har bour the other week, and, after he had moored her, went into a house on the Quay, where he wrote a letter w a Gen►leman in Aberdeen, to whom his cargo was consigned. He asked one of the pilots to deliver the letter, and did not, till that moment, discover that he was in the 6, wrong port." Being high water, how ever, he lost no time in again putting to sea, having afforded a hearty laugh to those who were aware of his mistake. 'Saturday se'nnight, a travelling vender of stone ware, ssho had previously been drinking, undertook, for a trifling bet, to finish his potations by emptying a bottle of whisky ; and had swallowed three-fourths of it, %Olen he fell down insensible. Every attention was paid to this unhappy victim of intoxication, but in vain. He lingered for nearly six days, and thenvapired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Abraham Panne?, the old sailor, who bad succeeded in obiiiin ing some meals, by pretending to bring persons information respect ing some relative at sea, and had purloined a few trifling articles, was committed for trial for obtaining ls. 3d. under false prctences from one party ; for stealing a knife from a second; and for stealing a knife, a tobacco-hoz, and a handkerchief from a third. No fresh charges were preferred. BOW-STREET. Johts Cross was charged by a patrol with letting off fire-works in Castle-street, Leicester-fields. As it had been frequently decided that *pubs are dangerous missiles, he was fined 20s. CURIOUS COINCIDIENCIL—Ann Copeland and Louisa Jones, were charged with stealing a handkerchief from the shop of Benjamin Alather. of Covent-garden. They went Into the shop under pre. tence of purchasing, and secreted the same handkerchief which had been stolen a short time before by two men, named Maltby and Jones, who were both transported for the offence at the last Old Bailey Sessions. The two girls were pursued and taken by the same lad who bad taken the other thieves, and the handkerchief was found on Louisa Jones, who, like the other Jones, was committed, with a great pro. Isability of following him still further. namely, to the hulks. Tuesday evening, a young man of very respectable appearance, was brought to this office by Mr. Spencer, the keeper of White cross-street prison, and consigned to the custody of the gaoler; he stating, as his reason for so doing, that a detainer was lodged against the prisoner in the month of April last, whilst be was in his custody as a prisoner for debt. The detainer charged him with forging the name of a Mr. Dickinson, to an acceptance for sta, with intent to defraud a Mr. Henry Thew. No one appearing for the prosecution, Sir Itscitaito Timms directed an officer to make inquiries after, and endeavour to find out the person who had made the charge, and a Mr. Arthur Edward Forty, a friend of the prisoner, promi sed to use his best endeavours for the like purpose. Yesterday morning, the prisoner was again brought up, but no prosecutor was forthcoming. Alr. HALL, said, although the party wbo had made the charge was not forthcoming to substantiate it, he must hold him to bail, to answer whatever charges migbt be br,ght against him at the next Sessions, should Bfr: Thew think proper to prosecute. And his Worship further observed, that if Mr. Thew had been In any part of England, instead of on the Continent, be would have issued his warrant for him, and compelled his attendance. MA It LBOROUG H-STREET. Yesterday, nearly thirty informations, preferred against sundry stage coach proprietors, by Byers, the informer, came on to be heard before b Ir. Dr ea, the Magistrate, at this office._ . - The in formations were laid under the Act of Parliament of 25 George II f. c. 51, a. 52, and charged that the defendants had omitted to have painted on the pannels of the coach dobrs, u directed by the above Act, the name of the place from whence the coach starts, and of the place to which it goes. Mr. Horne, of Charing cross, and several others, were fined ICS each, and costs. QUEEN-SQUARE. In consequence of the determination of Thomas Cockburn Eqq. c Blanchester-buildings, near Westminster Wage,. who had bet ii summoned by the driver of the hackney coach: No. 446, for the disputed demand of 3s. 6d. for riding ftom his residence to the foot of Blackfziars Bridge and back again to Manchester-banding., the parks met yesterday morning to measure the ground. Weak attended from thi4 Office; Mr. Cockbun►'s valet on that Gentleritan's part ; and the driver of the coach, Thomas Carter, ou own behalf. _ _ _ It was contended by the defendant, when before Mr. Garcons, Mooday last, that the distance in question did not exceed two miles and a half, for which st. was an adequate fare. After the distance had been measured, however, it proved to be two miles, one half mile, a furlong, and sixty yards in extent. Mr. Cockbarn's servant at once acknowledged the correctness of Carter's fare, which be immediately paid, and alto the further sum of Its. for measurement and costs, as his master's object was never to dispute the demand, if just, but rather to settle the point respect big the public at large. LAMBETH-STREET. A period named Philips, quite a lad in his appearance, and dressed rather respectably, was brought up In custody of Dalton, and placed at the bar, before Sir Daunt Witttasts, charged with intermar rying with Elisabeth Duntombe, his former wife, Anna Maria Vinor, otherwise Philips, being still living. A clerk from Mr. Harmer's office attended for the prosecution ; and the first wife, at whose instance it was carried on, was present during the proceedings. The evidence in support of the charge was as follows: Thomas Colaell stated, that he was a 'lumber and glasier, and resided in Brick-lane, WhitechapeL In the month of January, about six years ago, he was present at the marriage of Thomas Philips, the prisoner then at the bar, with Anna Maria Vinor, who was in attendance • the ceremony was celebrated at the parish church of St. Leon ard's, Shoreditch, and be was s subscribing wit nee' to the entry of it in the registry book. Mrs. Elisabeth Booth stated, that she was a married woman, and was present on last Easter Monday, at the parish church of Stratford-le-Bow, when the prisoner was marled to a young female Mused Elisabeth buncombe, with whom she undergond he was living at the dal* of Isis appreheision. The prisoner was about entering on an account of the &cum .stances that led to his second marriage, but desisted on being cau dated by the Magistrate, apd was fully committed for trial. MARY•LA•BONNL Jai- wt Oakinghan, /awe Hi*, Mary An Mow, mid Mary 4n* irtsgr,vrere brought up on sespideo of Isseiog knocked down and maltreated a person unknown, sod robbed bins et sixty sovereign% at the end of Gunnersberriane, Branford rood, on TutidAy night. After the affair, he went back to the Star sad Garter. neat Low 'Bridge. whe.e he entered, covered with blood, without his hat, and was put to bed. lie had the appearance of an ostler, and ac• c o unted 1 4 . r the possession of so much money, by saying he bad it to pay awayvand afterwards, that it was his own wages for two years. He went away early next morning,,before any of the fa mily were awake, and has nRc been beard of since. The pri soners had been seen together in the vicinity of the robbery.— °gingham's clothes bore marks of blood, there were a good, pair of gloves, and about 91. altogether found upon their persons. Oakingbam accounted for the blood, by saying a girl had made his nose bleed In larking" with him, and the was said to have been earned at hopping in Kent. As a hat bad been found behind a hedge near Gunnersbury-lane ' so far rendering it probable that a robbery bad been committed, the prisoners were remanded tin Saturday, that the person who was ill treated may came forward. HATTON-GA RDRN. Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the final ex amination of Jain Ambrose, the supposed murderer of the unfortu nate woman, Ann Perry, on the 1 Ith of September last, In Lilly street, Saffron-hill, the officers' room was thronged by the witnesses against the prisoner, and persons whose curiosity had led them there to be present at the exam nation. Precisely at the above hour, W. L. Boozes, Esq. the sitting Magistrate, arrived, and took his seat on the Bench, and Barney, the beadle of the Saffron-hill Liberty of St. Andrew's Parish, hav ing informed him that the whole of the witnesses were in attendance upon their summonses in the Outer-office, Lee, the gaoler, was I called in, and desired to produce his prisoner. The wretched man was then brought from the lock-up room along the office yard; amid the gaze of the mob that bad assembled to gratify their curiosity. He appeared rather more dismayed than he did on his first examination, but still there was an air of Indif ference apparent about him, indicating that he felt confident that there was no evidence to convict him of the murder. He was dressed in an old black coat and waistcoat, and corduroy or velvet trousers. lie c..rried a 'man bundle, containing his shoe making tools. _ _ _ On - being placed in the dock before the Magistrate, he looked very anxiously about him, and recognising some persons wbo were to give evidence against him, he looked upon them very piteously. After some consultation, the Magistiate asked Barnley if there bad been a true bin found against the prisoner at the Clerkenwell Sessions? Darnley, the officer, said there had been—that he himself pre ferred it, and filed the bill afterwards in Mr. Shelton's office, the Clerk of the Arraigns. He had been to the office to procure a cer tificate, but it would not be ready for an hour. The Magistrate then ordered the examination to proceed. George Thomas, of No. 4, Lilly-street, Saffron-hill, stated, that he knew the deceased, who lodged in the same house with bins in a room on the second floor adjoining his; her name was Ann Perry, but she always went by the name of Ambrose, having lived with John Ambrose, the prisoner, as his wife. On Saturday night, the beginning of September last, witness came home about ten o'clock, and went into his own room, when he heard the prisoner and de ceased quarrelling very violently, and heard several heavy blows given by some person, and beard the prisoner use very bad lan guage to the deceased. The prisoner continued to use very horrid expressions to .the deceased, and then he hoard another blow, and a heavy fall to the ground followed immediately after, and be never heard the deceased speat again. Witness heard the prisoner walking about the room for some time after, talking to himself of what is called "clinching stitches." Witness after this heard no more, and went to skep. About six o'clock nest morning, witness arose and went down stairs to the landlady, and asked her if she had seen Mrs. Ambrose (meaning the deceased)? the said she had not, but she also bad heard her and the prisoner quarrelling the preceding night. Witness then left the house, but came back again about half-past eight or nine at night, and went to bed, when he heard the prisoner in his own room, but did not bear the deceased. Witness for the last time heard him in the room at about ten o'clock on MAnday morning ; be wu then muttering something to himself. On Tuesday morning, the landlord and another lodger, named Robinson, went into the deceased's room, and found the deceased lying dead, and weltering in het blood. Witness afterwards went in himself, and saw her lying on her side, and the blood streaming from her. The body was concealed behind two chairs, and a sack, or piece of woollen, placed over the backs of them, so that no person could see the deceased without looking over the chairs. The deceased had often been absent from her lodgings, at her brother's; anal, an one of these occasions, Ambrose took another woman to live with him, but she went away upon the re turn of the deceased. Witness thinks the prisoner was sober en the Saturday night—indeed, he never saw him otherwise. He is a man of very temperate habits, and is near 70 years of age. Maghtrate—Have you any thing to add to this deposition? Witness—Notting, your Worship. Magistrate to the Prisoner—Have you any question to ask Mr. Thorns.? Prisoner—No, your NV ‘rship, I have not. William Robinson a bookbinder, stated, that he lodged in the same house as the las t witness, in the room under that occupied by the prisoner and the deceased. He was at home on the Saturday night, but did not hear the quarrel. On Monday morning witness sent up his son for a flat iron borrowed by Ambrose; he did not return it to the boy, but brought it down himself, and told the wit ness that his wife (Ann Perry) had been out all night, sod had lime, he supposed, to her brother's. Witness saw Ambrose for the last time, about eight o'clock on Monday morning. On Tuesday morn ing, suspecting an was not right, he knocked at the prisoner's room door, but received no answer, and the door nor being locked he opened it sad went in, and found the murdered body of the deceas ed, lying as described by the last witness. Witness alarmed the house, and Mr. Jay, the landlord, came up and went into the room with him. Witness thinks the deceased had been deadsonr time. Jay, the landlord, corroborated the last witness's testimony. Mrs. Jay, the landlady of the house, stated, that about Ave o'clock , on Monday evening, she saw the prisoner for the last time ; he a4ked her if she had seen his wife ? witness answered she had not. The prisoner then said, " she shall never rob me any more." The pri soner was in the habit of ill.treating the deceased, and they were often quarrelling. Ann Maze stated, that she washed the body of the deceased, and found it in a dreadfully wounded state; there was a piece of cloth placed under her head, to prevent the blood running through the joists of the floor into the next room. Air. Sheppard, the surgeon, proved, that, on opening the bead of the deceased, he found a large quantity of extravasated blood be tween the scalp and perier.aeism a and also upon the cerebegun; which must have been caused by external violence, and was the cause of death. Another medical nun, named Melburn, corroborated Mr. iihep pard's evidence. Mr. Romas now asked Ambrose whether he wished to say any thing more? Prisoner—Your Worship it is all right, but I should like to say a few words if you will please to bear me. He then went oo to repeat what he bad before stated, protesting his innocence, and asking the Magistrate to bear Mr. Walker speak in his behalf. He was then fully annmitted for trial. He says be is fifty , eight years of age. G. Pasollitch was charged by Mrs. gateman, of Cursitor-street with threatening to run her through with a sword, and shoot be; servant girl. The prisoner came to board in her house, representing himself as a ward of Chancery, whence he was allowed 5L a fort night till his case was settled, for which she agreed to accommodate him, but when his accoant had run up to 1.51. she applied to him in vain, and then made application to the Court of Chancery, where, it appeared, he was not known ; and boding that be was about to remove his Images, she again applied to him, when he conducted himself in the manner above stated,—Committed for want of bail. WORSHIP-STRUT. Yesterday, Withrm Skhd of Wincliester.street, Bethnal. green, was brought up for re-examination, upon a charge of felony. On the first examination it appeared, from the testimony of Charles Fieckney, of Scott.street, Bedmal-green, who is an Qui-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, that between the hours of seven and eight •clock, en the evening of the 4th of July, 1843, as witness was going down Bethnal•green Road. and when nearly opposite the Black Dog public-house, he was met by the prisoner, who snatched from his cob a watch, key, and seal, with which be ran oft'; and that they were worth three pounds. Mr. Baum (with some sarprise)—What on the 4th of July, 1826, and no effort made to take the prisoner skim ? Besides are you quite sensibk as to the identity of his person ? Witness-1 gave immediate information at the time to 13ortots, the chief dficer of the establishment, who, with Armstrong, went in quest, but the prisoner eluded their vigilance, and then west to sea, on board a trading vessel, is which capacity be remained until within the last few weeks. He was quite satisfied that he was the identical individual who robbed him. _ _ Mr. Bash—As you seem to be so very positive as to his person, and the day of she niontb„ do /on recollect the dale( the week' Fleckney said, that be received his pension on the 4th of July, and he believed the day of the week to be Thursday. A reference, however, was made to the Almanack, from aviich It appeared, that the 4th of July, 111113, fell on a Monday; notwithstanding which, the witness was quite positive as to the prisoner's identity. A silk inanufsctuter, named Jennings, gave the prisoner an excel ..onsor : Printed and Published by J. F. KZA LT, at the Sna Orrice .fib. 1, l'acketi-Placc, 7i ',title-Bar. lent character, and thought there most be some mistake. as to the Pi isooer's person • • During this period, the prisoner wept bitterly, and protested h e never saw die prosecutor before. The Magistrate, however, r e . madded bins for further. esansinadun. Yesterday, M' Williams, one of the Bow street patrol. who had on last Monday taken the prisoner into custody, stated, that he un. deestood the Mends of the Fri/None bad compromised the matter with the prosecutor, and bad paid Mtn the value of th e property of which he was rob bed; and, under those circumstances, It was not his intention to come forward. He therefore, prayed his Wcirship's @cannons to compel him. Eagles, an siker, stated, that he heard a female voice that more. ing exclaim, hem the outer yard to where the prisoner was confioed, “ That all was well." Under these circumstances, the Magistrate ordered a summons to be issued against the prosecutor, and that the prisoner should be is remanded. UNION-HALL Mr. Dockery ace of the new managers of the Surrey Theatre, yes. terday waited on the presiding Magistrate, R. J. eitaathees, Esq. requesting his yonhip's advice under these circumstances A most ferocious dog, kept by Mr. Honeyman, whose back pre mises were near the stage door entrance of the place of amusement, was exceedingly annoying. not to say dangerous, to those who had occasion to pass backwards and forwards. The applicant said that be had addressed two polite notes to Mr. Honeyman, requesting him to remove the dog. but to neither of the communications did he deign to return an answer. It was but right however to state, that the animal was chained; notwithstanding this, as the chain was so long, the dog could almost get to the stage door. Mr. CHAMBERS said, that he was surptised Air. Honeyman should still permit his dog to continue in the place mentioned, considering bow very inconvenient it must prove to those who had to pass to land from the stage entrance of the theatre. Mr. Docker assured his Worship that it was so felt, and he had taken the liberty to ask what was to be done with the animal ? The Magistrate said that if the dog were killed by Mr. Docker, an action would lie; nevertheless, if be ( Mr. Chambers) were dr cumitanced u the applicant was, he should net hesitate to have the animal destroyed, if the owner still continued to let him remain id his present situation. Mr. Docker thanked the Magistrate, and then quitted the office. The present possessor and the original one of die far-famed, dog Bruin, which is performing almost every flight in pieces exhibited at Drury-lane Theatre, have been several times before the Magis trates, disputing about the ownership. The parties yesterday settled that question in this manner, Mr. Woods, the present owner, having undertaken to give Mr. Vincent to whom the dog was proved to have belonged, the sum of .CA/, to be !said one pound per week until the amount he disc%arged. It was stated that Mr. Woods had obtained an engagement fur the animal at Drury-lane Theatre, at the rate of five guineas a week for several months. Miss Vincent, who nightly performed in Memos, recognized Bruin one night at the theatre, and told her father of the circumstance, who immediately Institute d: the proceedings, which have already been given.in former impressions of our Paper. But as the dog was unacquainted with performing until he came into Mr: Woods' hands, it was deemed only equitable that he should continue with him, and Mr. Vincent, therefore, consented to resign all future claim to the dug on receiving the ahovenamed money. TOWN HALL. Jane Wddon was fuUy cammi:ted for robbing I'. Holmes of the sloop Henry, of Selby, of hi, watch. Tne prosecuter was palming through Morgan . ..lane, on Wednesday evening, in company with a messmate, and was accosted by the prisoner, who, while he W4ll engaged in paying fot a glass of gin for,her, drew his watch from his pocket, and eras seen by his companion to band it to another. DUBLIN COMMISSION, Nov. 4. John Abrray was put to the bar, indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Murray, his wife, at Daw son's Grove, on the 10th 411ly last. Anne Doyle, niece to the deceased, deposed to having seen her aunt at five o'clock on the evening of the day mentioned in the indictment ; she appeared then to be in good health, but somewhat intoxicated. At eight o'clock on the same evening she saw her a corpse in Mr. Dawson's gate house, in which deceased and her hug band resided; the corpse had a large wound on the head and another on the arm, and appeared all over marked as if by blows of a stick. The house was empty when witness first entered it. After the prisoner at t► d bar came in, witness asked him did he kill hei aunt ? he said he did, and would kill her also, and instantly made a blow at her with his clenched fist ; witness, however, escaped from the house. Prisoner on this occasion appeared in a dreadful passion, was much agitated, but in liquor. For the defence, several witnesses were called to character, with most of whom prisoner - had lived at service. They invariably bore testimony to his -indus trious habits as a servant, but generally agreed that there was something flighty and odd in his general de manoor. One witness designated him “ a half natural." Here the ease closed, and the Jury returned a ve►dict acquittiag the prisoner of the murder, and ending him —Guilty of Mauslaughter . An Inquest was held at the Westminster Hospital, on the body of Henry Howting, who was killed at his Majesty's new Palace. Thomas Johnson stated, that on Wednesday he passed the deceased on a temporary staircase; he saw him make a false step, and fall between the iron joints, a depth of 18 feet, upon a timber AGM Ile was quite sober. Tne surgeon stated, tfaat on ex amining the body, he found a kidney ruptured, which caused an effusion of blood into the cavity of the ab domen, and was the cause of his death.
