with assaulting Sergeant James Benjamin Tiffin, of t7thealt
Middlesex Volunteer corps.
Captain Masa, of the firm of Sheen and Ramos, soli-
citors, Bedfurd.row, appeared to prosecute; and Mr. Pain
defended.
Sergeant Tiffin said he was a commercial traveller and •
managing clerk. In company of • brother sergeant and •
private of the same corps be was returning home from bat.
telioo drill. He was in the centre of the three sod they
were walking in the road ; they were is uniform and bad
their rifles with them. As they were on the Canal-bridge
at earaden•town, the prisoner and two of his corn.
pinions made a lunge towards them. Private Webb
!wring this made a rapid more to the frost,
in come:qualms of which he (rites) roosivad the
full force of the push. sad he put up his left heed to
aave himself. He took no notice of what bad occurred.
when front something that was said to the primmer he
followed Tiffin and struck at him with his fist in his fain.
Prisoner then got his left arm round prosecutor's Dileand
with his right heed punched him severely about the
neck, and shoulders. He was so mach poached and
about that he could scaroaly raise his arm.

Mr. D'Eynoourt—How often were you struck
Tins—At lag twenty times. He managed toget away
from the prisoner, when boogying upon his brother sergeant
and wrested his rifle from him, which, however, was again
wrested from him by a civilian. He (Tina) went away,
whim the prisoner agaia came after and. attacked him, and
how he got away he could not tellies he was so exhausted.
Is reply to the elegising%
Witaas said he did not either strike or sp-ak to the pri-
soner. The primer and his companions no ageing them
auponly. The prisoner was not sober.
After further evidence.
Mr. D'Eyncourt aid-1 am under the impreseion that
the true swag of what occurred has been given b 7 the
prosecutor. Besides, you were in liquor, so that it is im-
probable that you should be able to rcallect much
of it. Whether the sight of • rifleman incites you
to sets of wantonness I don't know, but I do
believe that you lunged against them. Some men
hare a disposition to play a jest on this large body.
The tor undoubtedly has been very much
ill-used by you sod your companions, who were all in
liquor, and it's you who seem to have been the principal.
One thing is quite clear, that you were not satisfied with
defending yourself but alter prosecutor had gone you fol-
lowed him and again attacked him. You see volunteers le
bour ender a very great disadvantage, for they must keep
paean°a of their rifles under any circumstances, and in
whatever way they are attacked, and they are strictly for-
bidden to use them unless under legitimate circumstances.
I don't know how it is, but it is • fact, as Mr. Sheen has
aid, that there is a tendency to ieadt volunteers. You
must pay a fine of 31., or be imprisoned fat one month.
The floe was paid.

him and got him to give her some medicine. Sho did not
tell witness that she was in the family way. On Friday

house No. 46, Tort-street. Witness toned the deceased
cold sod dead. The mother and child bad been in the closet

Witness fogad her in the clout Lucy Parsons is shoot Zi
years of age. Ens alter she had gives birth to the child
she, never told any psssoe of the occurrence. Witness
called in a doctor, sod he discovered the child. The mother
lived in the bonne for about two years. Witness had not
found any clothes for the child.

The oc:roar said that if the jury oonsidered that the
mother had concealed the birth of the child from every the
for the purpose of depriving the child of life when the face
of its existence was unkoown, that concealment in the
eye of the law would be regarded as orient facie evi-
deem that the mother intended to murder the child.
If they arrived at that conclusion it would be only fair to
the mother to adjourn the court, is order that she might
bear the gridirons *gaunt her. If they thought the evideaos
against the mother was not eufficieot to secure the °Pak-
tum of the accused they could return a verdict, in accordance
with the medical evidence, and the polies would be instructed
to premeds her (the mother) for the concealment of the
birth.

beration muted the following verdict—" Thatthe decreed
