The deceased then went to a surgeon's shop in the neighbourhood. Sarah %Vilhanns was cross-examined by Mr. Barry.— Her husband is at va; she was never prosecuted; had never beets in a Court ktitril!*, was once imprisoned, Arno five years ago ; site wit; two days there, with this single exceinion, she had never before been in any trou ble of the kind. There utieltt be one or two more men in the public-house besides those she had mentioned.— She knew the prisoners before the affray. The door of her Iloll3e was thirty yards from the George. She saw he dt•ceased at work a short time after the accident had happened; he had then a handkerchief tied round It is head. Saw the deceased three or four times before the prisoners Were apprehended. John Fortesque, a butcher, residing in George-yard, and one of the Englishmen with whom the deceased Was sitting wheat the outrage commenced, was exa mined, touching the earticniars.

Re•examined by Mr. Jessop.—lt was in consequence of the intimation that they would be murdered that he and earthy left the public-house. Julius Nuttorti, the apothecary, was examined. He sattl he ordered a hair-dresser to shave the head of the deceased, hut he could not, and ss itness did it himself.

Ile saw the deceased after his death, and then saw that the skull was fractured. The man was not able to work. Cross examined.—Deceased was intoxicated when brought in. A slight wound might have been dam:er ous in such a state. He saw the deceased twice after wards much intoxicated, and he came to bins once without plaisters, or any dressing on his head. This witness's assistant spoke to the saute facts. Mr. W. Self, a pupil at the London Hospital, de posed, that on the .Bth ofJ uly the deceased was brought to the Hospital.

The wounds appeared to have beets given several days prior to that time, and the inflammation of the scalp had considerably subsided. There was a slight fracture of the skull, but no depres sion. lie could not ascribe the death of the man to any oilier cause than that of the blow : that, in fact, was the primary and original cause of the patient's death, but tie might have recovered by temperance and proper medical assistance. Without medical aid he would have ailed, had he been ever so temperate. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the pi- Boners in their tle!eoce merely said they were ittnitectit. Dennis Sollivan was the first witness called fur the defence. He was at the door if the George public-house on the nigh: in question, and saw the prisoners and others come out of the house followed by Jeremiah Canby, the deceased, and eight or nine others of " It s party."
