Mr. James said he was primly willing to admit that ea
accident had happened, sad that the compeer were napes-

Mr. Willies P. Dowse, a sera sad partner of the plaintiff,
proved that eines the accident the biplane of conveyascdog

The Lord Chief Baron said he did not think it neuseary
that the leaned counsel should pens" this li.. of eaunias-
tion further. The medical evidence had clearly established
a cese for eonspeaeatias, sad in his opinion the only question
was what the mown of that sompensatioe skould be. His
attention had been dinned, by Mr. James, to certain
matters it the only part of this case, and though h. felt it
was better there should have base a joint action on the part
of tbe plaintiff and his wife than two separate Wises, he
felt bound to say that there were dresoustances 'connoted
with:this um which reordered It • preps! one for isqairy.
Mr. James—That was what the &futon felt, my lord.
The Lord Chief Bares--I dare may if the division had

have heard nothing about it. Geeerally speaking these

remarked that he would yield to no man in struggling to the

of nowise; but whoa there was not he would net do it to

that the witnesses who bad spoken to the primmer throwing
stones and strikitig penes, were to he believed ? He had
so instructions that he could shake their antlibility, and
without seek iestractioas it would be improper for him to
attempt to do so. Therefore all he meld my was this: The
night was dark, there was no light, and it was within tto
' range if possibility, sad that was all, that some of the
witnesses might have bees mistaken.

William DlPConniek, 82 Patrick Charleston, 19, Michael
Finnerty, 46, sad HobertSmith, 38, were indicted for a riot
at Sheffield, on the 21st of July last.
Mr. Hardy sad Mr. Johnstone were for the prosecution ;
Mr. Deareley sad Mr. Shepherd demisted the priapism.
The carcinoma's were very similar to those stated is
the preceding ease; is feet, it was in the course of this
disturbasee that the poor fellow whose death had just Lissa
inquired into was killed.
Several witnesses were celled to prove the particular part
which the prismers severally took in the tramartion. They
were heard to urge on the crowd to violence, and them-
selves throw stones, sad were heard to vow vengeance
against the police.
All the prisoners were found Guilty.
Mr. Bares MartM, in sentencing the prisoners, said
he had made up his mind to mate as example of them,
in order that the people of this country might see that the
law and the pease should be upheld, if possible. Here
were sin mos belonging to a large body of people resident
in this country—be alluded to the Irish—who, obliged
probably to leave their owe ematry beams of its poverty,
came over to this essatry, where Um enjoyed better wages
and other great advaatame which they mild sot have at
home, and yet they mald not keep quiet, but must needs
display their gratitude by breaking the peace of this country,
and indulging in all sorts of riot and acts of violins*. He
considered Burke the wont of the party camera in this
present transaction, he having thrown the stone which is
all probability killed the policeman, and having also struck
another man with a stone in a stocking and stabbed his in
the ma with • WM. The sentence upon him, therefore,
was, that he be transported for fifteen years. As to Smith, he
cessidered him quite as bad, he having hest a ass while he
was almost deed, sad then sworn, epos the remonstrance of
his owe daughter, that he would murder him ; but the law
would not allow him to give Smith the same punishment as
Burke. He, however give him two years' imprison-
ment; with hard labour ; sad the other four prisoners,
Donkey, M Consisk. Charleston, sad Finnerty, must be
severally imprisoned for 12 maths, with hard labour.
