Eastern Counties Railway Comnanv be Mr. Wadding- Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Lilley defended Woods and Eastwood ; Mr. Chandler defended Foyle and Blackman ; and Mr. Sumner defended Smith. Mr. Clarkson, in opening the- case to the jury, said that he appeared with his learned friend, Mr. Robinson, to prosecute the present indictment on behalf of the ma • gistratee of the county. The deceased hal for many years been connected with the police, and at the time of his death he wan an inspector of the Surrey Constabulary, and the prisoners were charged witb having caused his death by brutM violence while in the execution of his duty. He then proceeded ti detail the facts of the case, and said he believed that in the result the only questions the jury would have to decide were, whether the prisoners had committed the crime of wilful murder, or, whether, upon the evidr nce that would be laid before them, they would be justified in finding them guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter. The fdlowing evidence was adduced. Jame; Freestone said—l am a constable of the Surrey nonstabulary, and the deceased was my inspector, and stationed at Haslemere. About 10 minutes after twelve o'clock on the night of the 29th July the deceased and I were w dking thron;h the town, when we heard a noire in the King' s Arms public-house, and people were sing ing, and the deceased said he would see if he could not stop it, and we went into the house and the deceased told the people who were there that it was time to shut up and they must leave. There were between 20 and 30 " nav vies' and labourers present, a id the prisoners wereamong them, but they were all very quiet, and went out of the house. When they got outside the prisoner Wo ids went up to the deceased in an angry manner, and asked him why he had tapped him on the shoulder. The de ceased replied that he had not hurt him, and his only object was to have the house cleared. The pri-oner Woods then put himself in a fighting attitude, and I thought he was going to strike the deceased, and I shoved him down. I was then knocked down myself, and I called for assistance, and Mr. Bishop, the surgeon, came up and Smith attempted to strike him, and Mr. Bishop knocked him down. We then took Smith into custody, and placed him in the cage ; but we found there was no lock to it, and deceased went to his house to fetch one, leaving me and Mr. Bishop outside the cage to watch the prisoner. The deceased returned in a few minutes, and I then observed the prisoners Woods, Eastwood, Foyle, and Blackman coming towards us, and all said, "Let that man out of the cage." Donaldson said he would not do so. There were then some angry words between them, and Woods, who had a plough whippance in his bands, lifted it up, and with both hands struck the in spector on the head with it. The effect of the b . () os wart to fell the deceased to the ground backwards. Up to this time the deceased had no weapon of any kind in his possession. At this moment I struck one of the pri soners with the remains of my staff that had been broken. I don't know which of the men it was I struck, or whe ther I knocked him down, but I was very soon knocked down myself, and while I was upon the ground Black man and Foyle struck me with large bludgeons. When I got up I had a set-to with the prisoner again, and I was knocked down a second time close to Inspector Do nald•on, who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. After a short time I again got up, and Smith struck me with a stick, and we had a desperate struggle together, and both fell to the ground. I was so weak at this time that I could not hold him down, and he got up and beat me with a stick as I was lying on the ground. I called murder, and said, " Smith, don't kill me." I called for assistance, and a person named Finlayer, who lived close by, opened the window, and Smith ran away. I was then taken home, and kept my bed for five or six weeks in consequence of the injuries I received. I never saw the deceased alive again. Cross -examined—The men were quiet enongh when we went into the public-house, except that they were singing. The deceased was a very quiet, good-tempered man, and was very much respected. I did not see Woods ad.ont p mwtii o oi aotaee u i erptuay: prisoners oudi of fhi t ttootn a nhobeslfeer g arest l gipen a hidaep s ei od s vti hphree o nli iodfnesluovkaatst Woodsoebhnae oaogpi about appear te d aair offer it to Donaldson to drink when h e went i nto the taproom.

I knocked Woods down with my staff, and the staff was broken by the force of thesblow. I believe I hit him over the left eye. Smith had said before this thet I I ought to be knocked down myself, or words to that effect. It was after I knocked Woods down thatlcalled for assistance, and when Mr. Bishop came up the first thing he did was to knock Smith down, and the deceased then ordered me to bring him to the cage. The sticks the men had were large sticks. By Mr. Chandler—l have no doubt that the whole of the prisoners called out to let Smith out of the cage. Smith was not very much hurt before he was taken to the cage. I did not see much blood about him. Mr. Bishop knocked him down with a stick—it was-rather a thick stick. William Aylwin said—l was ostler at the King's Arms, Haslemere, at the time this affair occurred, and I saw the deceased and the constable Freestone go into the house shortly after 12 o'clock. The prisoners all came out of the house, and Donaldson and Freestone uproar. Mr. LovF, Cliaiimati of the committee of investiga tion, said he hoped that the meeting would allow him to make a few observations. The report was stated to be a one-sided one, but he could say in all ho nesty and truth that the cmitnittee had endea voured without fear or affection to devote them selves with satisfaction to arrive at a fair termi nation. (Cheers.) With respect to the evidence of Mr. Gooch and Mr. Waddington, it had been stated that that evidence had been tampered with, bet he beece,e,l to say in all honesty, that that evidence had not been altered in the slightest degree. (Cheers.) With respect to the allegations made by the committee against Mr. Waddington, it was stated by that gentleman that he required time to answer theta, but they were dis tinct and plain, and he thought that any Englishman could answer such questions within four-and-twenty hours. (Cheers and uproar.) Mr. Bruce, after addressing a few observations in dumb show, was understood to object most strongly to the adjournment of the meeting till the first week in January. lle begged to say that he did not believe that Mr. Waddington spoke the feelings of the board when he moved the ad journment of the meeting. He begged to move " That the Report of the Committee of Investigation, app o i n t e e on the 31st day of August last, to inquire into the affairs of this company, and which has been distributed among the proprietors, be now taken as read, and be re ceived and adopted, and (mitered on the proceeJings of the meeting of this day." A SHAREHOLDER begged to move, as an amendment, that the report be received but not adopted. Mr. 'MITCHELL called upon - the meeting to accept the report, in a eery forcible speech, contending their so thing would be the means of saving their property. Mr. MARGRAVEB defended his conduct, as a director, and called on the meeting to proceed with the business for which they had been called together. The CHAIRMAN then put the question of receiving the report, and that the meeting be adjourned, which was received with great expressions of disapprobation. Six hands only were held up for it, but a forest of bands were__ held up agai ns t it. The CRAMMA N then put the amendment, that the re port be received and adopted, which was carried by an overwhelming majority amidst loud cheers. The Directors demanded a poll, which was met with cries of " No, no." A SHAREHOLDER said it was not competent for the Directors to demand a poll under the circumstances. Mr. MAYNARD ( d eolieitor) w as of opinion a poll could be demanded an granted. (This statement created great confusion, three or four gentlemen speaking at the same time in as many portions of the room). The CHAIRMAN, amidst cries of " Turn him out" and Resige, „ and a vo ll e y of hisses, groan; and other marks of disapprobation, said he should adjourn the meeti • ng to take the poll. A SILIRICHOLDER (a member of the Investigation Committee), we believe, at length obtained a hearin g , and succeeded in moving the following resolution : "That the continued sacrifice of the interests of the Esetern Counties Railway Company by Mr. Wadding ten, during the time that he has held the office of chair man of the board, disentitles him to the further con ti• dance of the shareholders, and that he be no longer the chairman of the board of directors of this company (loud cheers)—that his pay as chairman cease and be determined from this day, and that he be requested to resign his seat at this board." Mr. TIOwE Seconded the resolution, and said it was not the first time that such a proposition had been made to the chairman, and it was the duty of the meeting; to adopt the resolution.
