BOURN RMOUTH.
MR CHELTISNHAIN ELSITIION MURDRR TRIAL,—
On Monday morning, at the Gloucester Assizes,
before Mr. Justice Ryles, Thomas William Glass
wa. charged that be did wilfully, maliciously, and with
malice aforethought, kill and slay William Lynoi,
at Cheltenham, 12th July. Prisoner appeared pale
' and careworn, but in answer to the charge replied in
a firm voice, " Not guilty." If. was charged with
the same offence under the coroner's inquisition.
Mr. Powell, Q.C., and with him Mr. Fallow. ap-
peared for the prosecution; Mr. Huddleston, Q. C.,
and with him Mr. H. James, for the prisoner. The
jury having been sworn, Mr. Powell detailed
the facts of the case, stating that the prisoner some
time ago carried on the business of a chemist and
druggist in Cheltenham. He was not successful in
the business, and about twelve months age he left
the town, and had since carried on the same business
at Bournemouth, in the county of Hants. Un-
fortunately for himself be had retained his name cm
the register of votes for the borough of Cheltenham,
and on the 12th July he arrived in that town from
Bournemouth for the purpose of recording his vote.
In the course of the day, at about 9.30 p.m., several
men were walking along the street, singing "Hurrah
for the bonnets of yellow I" when they met the
prisoner, who said, "I'll give you yellow,"and pulled
his hand out of his right-hand pocket, and put it into
Lyne's face. At the same instant a pistol went ell
Deceased said, "Good God, Pitts, I'm shot" Pri-
soner stooped down to him and said, "I hope not."
Giese was then taken to the police station and given
into custody. He had been very excited throughout
the day, but was sober. When at the lock-up prisoner
said, "You may know that I did not intend to do it,
for I bad not put a cap on. I can't think what brought
the pistol into my hand."—A gunsmith had found
that the piatol could be discharged at half-cock, and
said it was reckoned a defect if a piece so went off.
—John Humphreys, resident surgeon of the branch
dispensary at Cheltenham, said Lynes died at twenty
minutes past seven the following morning, and he
was not conscious two minutes after his admission to
the house. His impression was that the pistol must
have been forced againzt the lip. The bullet was
found in the brain.—Mr. Powell then summed up
the evidence, and said the questiou he submitted to
the jury was—were the circumstances such as to
constitute the prisoner's offence—that of murder, or
was it an accident arising from negligence, in which
caw it would be merely manslaughter? He feared
that the jury could come to no other conclusion in
the case than this—that the pistol was wilfully and
intentionally fired by the prisoner.—Mr.Huddleston,
Q.C.' then addressed the jury for the prisoner. H.
submitted that there was a total absenee of all in-
tention of mischief in the circumstances of the case
before them, and of intention to do grievous bodily
harm, which was an essential ingredient of malice to
constitute an offense of murder. He appealed to
men--tender of the weaknesses and failings of
our poor human nature—strictly to do justice,
, but temperately to consider the circumstances.—
Several persons of Cheltenham were called to give
prisoner a good character, and the Rev. Mr. Bennett,
of Bournemouth, spoke to prisoner's bearing an
excellent character since March last. The learned
judge then carefully summed up the case, after which
the jury retired, and after an absence of 12 minutes
returned into court with a verdict of "guilty of
manslaughter." There was a slight attempt at
applause in court, and the verdict evidently surprised
many persons. The learned judge, who left the
court for • few minutes directly the verdict was
given in, on returning said—" T defer to' the
judgment of the jury. The responsibility is with
them and not with me. I therefore am bound to
deal with you, Thomas William Glass, as if this
were, as the jury have found that it is, a case of
manslaughter. It is a very aggravated case; but, as
I said before, I shall defer to the judgment of the
Jury. The sentence of the court is that you be kept
in penal servitude for the term of 15 years." The
prisoner hastily left the dock, where he had been
accommodated with a chair during the trial. At no
part of the trial did he seem to be more than an
interested spectator. The prisoner's father, who is
highly respectable, was in Gloucester during the'

Henry Mullins, of Winchester-street, and Sarah his wife,
appeared to answer an information laid by George
Hyde, of Fisherton-street, charging them with assault-
ing him, early on the morning of the 3rd inst. —lt
appeared, from the statement of Mr. Hyde, that he and
Mr. Mullins occupy adjoining stores, to which there is •
common right of way, in Winahesterstreet. There was
a difference between them as "to this right of way.
About 11 o'clock Mr. Mullins defied him to go into his
stores that night. Having some lights to get out for the
I following morning, be resolved to try. Finding the
, gates locked, and being unable to open them, he
obtained the saistaitee of three or four men and broke
them open. While he was in his own store, between two
or throe o'clock in the morning, Mr. Mullins came down
and struck him in the mouth, at the same time knock-
ing out a candle that he held in his hand. Mr. Mullins
afterwards offered to fight him with one hand, and Mrs.
Mullins struck him in the face. Mr. Mullins said,
feeling that Mr. Hyde had no business on the premises,
at that time in the morning, with • lighted candle,
he certainly knocked it out, but did not intentionally
strike him.—Mrs. Mullins said she merely pushed the
complainant, because he IRS smoking, and she was
apprehensive that the place would be fired. He aggra-
vated her very much. Thomas Belbin, labourer,
corroborated Mr. Hyde's statement, and said that Mr.
Mullins threatened to send for his "stabulator," and to
annihilate the lot. He admitted lighting a pipe, after
Mr. Malang had struck Mr. Hyde—Henry Marshall,
bricklayer, of lrisherton, gave somewhat similar evidence,
but added that Mrs. Mullins struck Mr. Hyde three or
four times.—Sergeant M'Gough said he did not see a
blow struck, but he found Mr. Hyde and Mr. Mullins
in the street abusing each other. He cautioned
them both, as the whole of the neighbourhood was
disturbed. On being called upon to answer the charge,
Mrs. Mullins made a very energetic appeal to the Ber.oh. ,
—Mr. Hussey, after consulting his brother magistrates,
said: We are of opinion, Mr. H) do, that you went
expressly to try your right to enter these premises at
this particular time. Our jurisdiction is therefore at an
end. We must leave you to a civil action, or any other
course you please. We ourselves must decline to impose
any penalty. This ease is dismissed.

the more essential because of the peculiar nature of "
the decease. In the Exeter Association just formed
they proposed that every stock-owner joining it
should pay an entrance fee of le. per head, stating
the number of stock in his possession, and that he
should pay such other calls as might from time to
time be made. The association would be managed
by a committee, of which every imam of twenty
bullocks would be eligible us member, but it would
also include persons of influence and intelligence,
who, though not actually owners of stock them-
selves, might choose to show their interest in the
objects of the association by subscribing as though
they were. In the event of any animal being
affected, the first step would be to call in an insi•ector,
who would have power to order its immediate des-
truction; and two practical men having assessed the
value of any animal so destroyed, its owner would
receive two-thirde or three-fourths of the amount as
might be agreed upon in the conditions of the associs•
lion. It must be obvious that in small areas the
affair would be much more manageable than in more
extensive districts.
Mr. G. H. ANDREWS (Rimpton, Sherborne) con-
tended that the only plan by which the Governmeet
could stop the disease would be by establishing at
every port arrangements for the slaughter of
animals and the inspection of the flesh afterwards.
Sound carcasses could then be sold as in the London
meat markets, without any serious interruption to
trade at a time when supplies were greatly needed.
He concluded by suggesting that Government should
be memorialised in favour of some such plan as he
had ventured to recommend.
Mr. FoOKES having mentioned a case showing the
extremely infections character of the disease,
Mr. W. A. BRUCE (Ashley, Chippenham) said
that as he lived in immediate proximity to Mr.
Shrine, of Warleigh, the "parish in the remote pest
of Somerset," where it was suggested that the disease
had originated, he had much pleasure in inform-
ing the Council as the result of a very carefully eon-
ducted examination that there was not the slightest
similarity between the symptoms of the disease
affecting Mr. Skrine's cattle and those which were
represented as constituting the peculiarities of the
so-called cattle plague. Mr. Brace then gave
minute description of the symptoms of the disease
affecting Mr. Skrine's cattle, which were pronounced
by several competent authorities to indicate nothing
more nor leas than the ordinary foot and month
disease.
Mr. Pools thought it would be well if all foreign
fat cattle were slaughtered where imported; and if
no store cattle at all were allowed to be imported
during the prevalence of the disease.
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which
Sir J. T. B. Duckworth, Mr. R. N. Grenville,
M.P., Mr. Acland, M.P., Mr. R. M. King, Mr.
John Gray, Mr. Pitman, Mr. Dickinson, and others
took part; and in reply to an objection urged by
several speakers, against the compulsory destruction
of affected stook, it was stated by Mr. Daw that all
members of the Mutual Associations would 'ohm.
Wily submit to such arrangements as were con-
sidered necessary for their mutual safety and ad-
vantage. Ultimately a committee was appoiated to
collect and disseminate information on the subject of
the disease, and with authority to communicate with
the chairmen and clerks of the Board of Guardians
in the several unions is the six western counties,
with the hope of calling the attention of agriculturists
throughout the district to the importance of adve
tog due precautions against the spread of the malady.
A motion to memorialise the Government to
adopt additional precautions at the outports in
accordance with the suggestions of Mr. Andre we,
was negatived by the casting vote of the chairman.
A meeting of the committee appointed to collect
and disseminate information on the subject of the
cattle plague, was held at Bunch's Hotel, Taunton, on
Saturday, Aug. 12, immediately after the rising of
the Council, Mr. E. A. Sanford in thelchair.
A form of letter to the Chairmen and Clarke of
Boards of Guardians in the Poor Law Unions inghe -
counties of Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wilts
and Gloucester was nettled and approved, and or-
dered to be signed by the hon. secretary and secre-
tary, recommend in the formation of Associations for
the Mutual Protection of Agriculturists within the
area of each Poor Law Union, in consequence of the
cattle plague.
The following form of handbill of ingestions to
stock-owners was also settled and approved, and
ordered to be printed in the form of a handbill
suitable for eirculation in the rural districts :

1. That no cattle which have been recently purchased
be allowed to join the stook on the farm, but be kept

within some separate abed, and pleased under the care of

3. Should the existence of the disease in such animal

that all the remaining fodder, bedding, sad dung be
