station at Stilt-min/ter Newton, the amble of mar-pex,
by wilfully exposing and depositing at the door of the
station certain erticles of wearing apparel impregnated
with variolous isather.—Mr. Chitty appeared for the
prosecution, as! Mr. Fear, of Blserborne, for the
defendant.—The eomplainant stated that about Icier
o'clock on the afternoon of the 6th September he saw
the defendant coining towards his bore with a quantity
of female wearing apparel in his head. He came op
Use steps to hie frost door, and knocked for admittance.
Suspecting something was wrong, and knowing that the
smell pox was prevalent is the neighbourhood, and that
the defendant's family had had it, he sent his servant
round to tell him to go to the bath door. He attempted
to tome himself in. but was prevented by the servant
shutting the door ; by his direction be west to the
back pert of the premier. The constable told him
(wittier) in Base's presence that be said that the daises
belonged to the small•poz woman. He laid the clothes
at the front door. Tbe woman in question had been
nursing • child who not only had the small-pox but died of
It. Compla Inuit directed the eonstable to burn the clothes,
and whilst they were burning the deiced's% stood by,
and said the small pox .as all over the town. Com
pleasant pointed out to him the danger incurred by his
redact, and be then said it did not matter if he (the
Superintendent) had it. He refused to move the clothes
front the door.—By Mr. Pear: The clothes were burnt
by his orders. Did not submit them to the inspeceion
of a medical man. The defendant said the clothes
belonged to the small-pox woman, who went op to the
union.—P.C. Henry Dayman, said that on Monday,
September sth, the defendant brought the clothes to
the bask part of the station, where himself and family
resided. He asked if the superintendent was in, and
was told he was engaged. He then aid be had brought
the small-pox woman's clothes for witness or some one
to take to the union. Witness would not touch the
clothes, but by the superintendent's orders dung them
over the wall with a pick. The defendant said it did
not matter if all of those residing there caught the
small-pox. It was all over the town. By Mr. Year:
He hardly looked at the clothes. He was afraid of
infection.—Surri Jeans stated that she was vent by
the master of the union to nurse the child who
had the small-pox. Witness cid not fear the in-
fection. as she bad had the disorder. She went to
the defendant's son's house about e 7.11 weeks ago
and nursed the child, staying there 10 days, when the
child died. After It. death the matron of the tinkle
would not allow her to return till the bad an order
from the doctor. She left all her clothes at the house
of the defendant, whom wile rid the would wash them.
The clothes included all a female's apparel. When she
went to &tangs her clothes, and put on those supplied
from the Union, the defendant's daughter was ill, and
she had since beard that she had had the disease.
Witness !maimed in the house front the Friday the
child died till the following Monday. There were no
other children in the hoes., and witness only went out
as far as the doctor's.—Mr. Teakell, the surgeon, said
he could not warn her whether there was any danger
in her going back to the Union.—Mr. Fear, on behalf of
his client, contended that the evidence ought to have
been most clear as to the clothes taken to the polio,-
*lbw being injurious and likely to spread the infectiott,
and that they had been worn by the small-pox woman
as she was celled. The evidence reeled entirely upon
some few remarks made by his client, and it was set
at all reasonable that the WIMP= who attended the
child would have allowed the woman to have
wore the clothes if he had apprehended danger.
It was mere auppositioa on Mr. Hammond's
part that the clothes were infectious The
chairman said that after giving the clue the most
attentive cossideratios, they had some to the cooclusion
that an offence within the meaning of the statute bad
bees proved. At the name time as it was the first case
of the kind which had come before them, the punish-
math would be be. severe. But they wished to show
to the defendant, and through him to the public, that
the safety of people's lives most not be put in jeopardy
by sues conduct, and he was therefore sentare.' to ter
week's imprbonment in the Howe of Correctioe.
