pace, drove against him. The pawner, who was the
worse for liquor, was on the crown of the road, and
his horse would not have caused the accident had the
prisoner not palled the wrong rein. As it we.
the shifts of the barrow entered the sheet of the
horse, and went in a considerable depth. The bores fell
end bled very profusely, and Mr. Oakley, the pro-
